Borden a3 United States Senator from Virginia by the Wneel- ing Legislature in 1863, the death oi that gentie- man while serving in the Senate and the subse- juent election of the claimant by the Alexandria fegisiavare to fill Mr. Borden's unexpired term. The pees further states that he (Mr. Segar) was kept Out o! the Senate by the division of the State, and concludes by claiming compensation for the paexeiee term of Borden. In presenting the petition Mr. Lewis asked that it be read. During the reading Mr. THURMAN, (dem.) of ‘Ohio, interrupted, ana moved it be relerred to the Committee on Privileges and Elections. Mr. CONKLING, (rep.) of N. Y., said probably to Fefuse to allow the reading of the whole paper would be disregarding the sacrea right of petition. ‘This paper came from just across the river, but short distance outside of the District of Columbia, and if not read the sacred rights of tne citizens would be bleeding. Laughter.| Mr. ‘THURMAN salu the document had already been treated with too much respect, as it grew out ol the bogus concern called the Commonwealth or Virginia, set up by 300 or 400 settlers of Alexandria, He tuought tne thing had better be reterrea. Mr. CONKLING asked if it was right to stifle the sacred right of petition in such @ manner. (Ke- newed laughter. Mr. HAMLIN asked if the claimant was not the Saine gentleman who occupied a seat in the other House part o1 the time, 1or which he now asked compensation as Senator and received iis pay as member of the House, Mr. LEWIS replied that he did not know of that Mr. ANTHONY, (rep.) of R.I., said the Senator from Ohio (Mr. Thurman) should not have calied a petition a “thing.’? Mr. THURMAN—Why, we are all things. The Senator irom Rhode Island is nothing. 1 am a thing. (Laughter.) Mr, EpMUNDS, (rep.) of Vt.—The more the mer- ed sales, and pro- rier. (Renewed laughter.) Mr. BOREMAN, (rep.) of W. Va,, said It would not ao now, alter a lapse of time, to laugh down the matter. The government was very glad of the services of the Virginia loyalists during the war. The Alexandria Legisiature had been recognized ae jederal government, and he thought the im of Mr. Segar should be paid. ‘The reading of the memorial was concluded, and 1t was referred to the Committee on Privileges and Elections. PUBLIC WORKS OF MISSISSIPPI. The bill to tacilitate the execution of and to Protect certain public works of improvement at ie mouto of the Mississippi River was taken up. Mr. Srockron, (dem.) of N.J., opt its pas- sage on the ground that it conferred too much power on the Secretary of War, lairly clothing nim ‘With the power of the judiciary.

The Senate then resumed consideration of the NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1874.-TRIPLE SHEET. rere, areas coors et nd past é: should The grant dolcet in thia country had een that bankrupt laws — caged an temein on the statute books a few years ‘The amendment of Mr. Sherman was lost—yeas nays 28. et the roll call Mr, ROBERTSON, (rep.) of 8. 0., said that he noticed the Clerk had called the name of Mr. es, of Mississippi. He (Mr, Robertson) thought that the gentleman bad vacated his seat in the Senate by accepting the office of Governor of Mississippi. ‘The Cuaik (Mr. Gorypeten rephed that he had not been “onicaliy notified of that iact, and could not direct that bis name be omitted in the call. A Governor of a State. however, might be a member of Congress too. The question was one for the Senate, but there had been no official notification yet received, OBJECTION TO SERVE ON A COMMITTEE, FRELINGHUYSEN asked to be excused from service on the joint committee to investigate the District of Columbia matters. Mr. SHERMAN hoped the gentleman would not Gecline to serve on that committee. The investi- tion should be a8 severe and thorough as possi- ke, and settle at once these charges o1 fraud. He thougnt the gentleman (Mr. Frelinghuysen) weil quaiified to make this Ivestigation thorough. ir, FRELINGHUYSEN said he appreciated the kivaness of his friend (Mr. Sherman), but as he had servea on one of these investigating commit- tees last session, and his iriend (Mr. Sherman) nad not, he thought the investigation now proposed would be just as well conducted if he (Mr. Sher- man) would serve. Besides, he (Mr, Frelinghuysen) was on jour standing committees, and had most of his time occupied. Again, he was @ taxpayer in the District, and he thought it would be vetter for some Senator who did not pay taxes here to serve on the commitiee. Mr. EDMUNDS said most of the Senators were taxpayers here, but he thought, as a matter of justice to his iriend (Mr. Frelinghuysen), he should be excused, having already served on one investi- gation committee. Mr. Frelinghuysen was excused, AMENDMENT TO BANKRUPT BILL, Mr. SHERMAN moved as an amendment to the Bankrupt bill to strike out the word torty and in- sert instead ninety, so that persons who nave stopped or suspended and not resumed payment of their commercial paper should not be deemed as having committed an act of ikruptey until atter the expiration Of ninety days. Mr, Sherman, tn advocating the passage of the amendment, said he believed public sentiment was against any bankrupt law. His own opinion, however, was that there should be such a law, and it should ve made as easy a8 possivle. Mr. Morton, (rep.) of Ind., said the period fixed in the old law was fourteen days. The committee had deemed it expedient to increase the time to forty days, and the same reasons which urged the inerssee. to Jorty would hold to increase ihe time 0 ninety. ‘The CHAIR announced as 4 member of the Com- Mistee on the District of Columbia Investigation Mr. Conkling instead of Mr. Frelinghuysen, ex- cused, Mr. WRIGHT, (rep.) of Iowa, opposed any change in the period of time fixed by the committee's amendment to the Bankrupt law. He thought forty days long enough, and to extend it to ninety would be iujurious, Mr. CONKLING said the Chair had appointed him on the committee to investigate into the District of Columbia affairs without a conierence, Had he known the purpose of the Chair to appoint him vn the committee he could have stated reasons, satis- factory, why he should be excused. Asit was he must ask the Senate to be excused from such service, not on account of being on five committees already, but he had been placed in an attitude touching the matter which might give rise to the charge Of partiality on his part. ‘This investigation. should be thorough, prompt and imparcaal, and conducted by those against whom there would be no charge of partiality to impair the report. Another reason was that, on accounc of a cuse of very recent origin, he would be compelied to be rete from the city, though he did nut know for ow long. Mr. Loaan said the Judiciary Committee clung to its amendments ag @ fond parent to @ child. That committee had not heard irom the smail trafers, but only from the creditors; and this Provision of forty days was favorable to the creditors, He would not brand these traders os bankrupts after forty days, and the rovision was contrary to toe theory upon whicn Dankrupt laws should exist, Interested outside parties had used every effurt to prevent any change of concurrence in the Bankrupt law. He ad a letter, which he said he had received from @ United States marshal, in which it was stated that efforts would be made to manufacture puvlic opinion in favor of the Bankrupt law by editorial articles in newspapers. He believed the amend- ments proposed would tall between:the two houses of Congress, and argued tuat, in such times as the resent, when money 18 locked up, leniency should e shown to debtors, In Vermont @ man might Sell all he had in forty days. but in the West that ca not be done, as mobey was not as plentiful ere. . THURMAN said the Senator seemed to be ar- Tat yyy Bo committee as if it was in the interest of the hard-hearted creditors, when the proof showed that covery provision of the bill was lenient to the debtor. He opposed any extenston of the time to ninety days. Mr. EDMUNDS gave notice that he would ask the Senate to vemain in session and finish the Bank- rupt bill to-morrow. Pending the discussion on Mr. Sherman‘s amend- Ment to insert ninety instead of forty days, the Senate, on motion of Mr. Stewart, went into ex- ecutive session, and after @ short time the doors were reopened and the Senate adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, WASHINGTON, Feb. 5, 1874. BILLS PASSED AND BILLS DODGED, Mr. POLAND, (rep.) of Vt. from the Committee on Revision of the Laws, reported a bill concern- ing the practice in Territorial courts and appeais therefrom. Passed.

An item for the preservation of a1 clothing | from destruction by moths being under discussion, Mr. Cox, (dem.) of N. ¥., amused the House with @ scientific, political humorous dissertation on the habits of the moth. A USE FOR OLD UNIFORMS. Mr. PLATT, (rep.) of Va., having ventured to in- quire whether when political moths die other moths take their places, had the laugh turned against him by the retort that that depended on whether there were navy yards in their district. Rather than spend so much money on the experi- ment of preserving old uniforms he (Mr. Vox) would have the uniforms issued to bedeck the per- sons of the splendid patriots (colored) who unt- formly filled the galleries of tne House, WORK AT THE NATIONAL ARMORIES. After a good deal of discassion over the ques- tion o1 increasing or diminishing the work at the national armories, the committee rose without disposing of the bill, and then the House, at haif- past lour o'clock, took @ recess until hail-past seven o'clock, Evening Session. im tne evening session considerable progress | Was made in the bill, and thea the House, at haif- past nine, adjourned.

THE POLICE COMMISSIONERS VIOLATING THE SABBATH, To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— On returning from the morning church service on @ recent Sabbath thousands of persons wit- nessed a disgusting sight on Filth avenue—a large gang of men at work performing uncatied-for and | Unnecessary work, and work that could and should have been done on @ week day. The avenue was cleanly swept and the dirt was in heaps at the side of the carriage way frozen hard, and these men were breaking up the frozen dirt and filling carts with the same. The nigh wind scattered the dust and filth in the faces and over the clothing of passing crowds. [asked the foreman of the gan, what authority he had tor doing that work and breaking the Sabbath, and he replied that the Police | Commissioners had ordered it to be done. If this | is a ‘act it is @ disgrace to the department, Is it to be wondered at that Sabbath and law breakers are allowed to desecrate the Saboath in this city, and thi illegal theatrical and concert drinking saloons are permitted to outrage and de- moralize this community ¢ SEMPER IDEM, OLEARING THE STREETS, The Superintendent of Encumbrances was at work yesterday with @ force clearing South Fifth avenue of the carts that are left in long lines on the sides of the streets next the sidewaiks from week to week.

SECOND DAY—SUNDAY, JANUARY 18, Rain fell very heavily both on Friday and Satur- day, and the appearance of affairs last night was so very threatening that there was every reason for anticipating that the second afternoon’s racing would be watched under most disagreeable circum- stances. To-day, however, luckily saw a great change for the better, and the afternoon, contrary to expectation, turned out very enjoyable. The sport, which was presented to a considerable com- pany—including the Duke of Beaufort, Mr. George Payne, Major Kane, Sir W.

SECOND DAY—SATURDAY, JANUARY 17. Notwithstanding most unpropitious weather ren< Gered the proceedings of Saturday anything but pleasant when placed in contrast with the opening day, still, as the programme contained the most important item of the meeting, the interest in the competition was almost sufficient to dispel any thought regarding the weather. Karly in the morning of the preceding day dark, heavy banks of clouds had been looming over the mountains, and soon @ drizzling rain came on, which fell almost without cessation until late on Saturday evening. Under these circumstances it was suggested to postpone the great event until Monday or Tues- day; but, owing to the immense number of entries and the attendance of visitors being far more numerous than was anticipated, it was determined that the contest should proceed, Taken altogether, the meeting was a great success, while the general shooting was excellent and the birds some of the finest ever trapped. The victory of that very popular and well known sportsman, Sir William Call, was well received. His shooting throughout the long “innings” of ten rounds was as line a display a8 we have ever seen, for most of his birds were knocked over with the first barrel and within a few yards oi the trap; indeed he never gave a chance away, and his total of nine kills out of ten does him infinite credit. The prize which he landed on the present occasion was very hand- some, being an epergne of solid silver and of the most artistic desigo, valued at 3,000!., while his money award, which comprised a certain per centage of the entries, amounted to very nearly £380, The judges ior the day were the Comte de Gaive and Prince A. de Chimay, Tne full score will be found subjoinea:— GRAND PRIX DU CASINO, an object of art, value 3,008 (£120), with 12,5001.

Instead of neavy, looming clouds and drizzling Tain, the weather to-day was charming. ‘The re- served places were again well filied with a very Jashionaole company, while on all the terraces situated immediately above the shooting ground there was a large assemblage. The event of tae day was the Prix de Monte Carlo, a free handicap, for which Sir Willuam Call, on account of his victory. on Saturday, was awarded “top weight,” 283, metres, or about 31 yards. The first prize was awarded to Mr. Bedingtield, and M.

A coursing match was made a short time since, which has created much interest among friends of the hounds and hares since it was made. J. Brady matches his dog, Colonel McGrath, tnree years old, | against funstead’s (Piace’s) Minnetta, taree ns old, for $1,000 a side. Both dogs are pups of aster Cartwright and Lady Bessie. ‘the match takes place on the 2d of March, at Modesto, The oral Club of this city propose having a meet- ing at the same time and place. BROOKLYN CITY HALL. pS iil i ‘Will It Be Purchased by the Federal Government for a Post Office and Court House. For some time past the Kings county Vongress- men have been exerting themselves to obtain an appropriation for the erection of @ government Post OMice building in Brooklyn. The subject is now before the Congressional committee, and the only drawback appears to be the reluctance of the federal Legisiature, as at present constituted, to expend the $1,000,000 which would be re- quired to carry out the proposed design. In the meantime the Common Council of Brook, has arrived at the conclusion that the City Hall i: entirely inadequate to meet the requirements of the municipal government, being too small by far to accommodate the idly multiplying o} A few weeks ago estimates were made by the En- gineer of the Board of City Works, Cotonel A, W. Adams, as to the cost of eblarging the Hall. The engineer made plan for the purpose addin, twenty-five rooms to the building, the cost o1 which would be $160,000, This expenditure would pay ior itself in @ few years, as the cit! would save about $20,000 rental — whic! it 18 DOW compelled to pay for the use os uther de- Killed, | ° | of Dartments. Every city bureau could be secommo- Gated at the Hall if the proposed extension should be made, The plans have not been acted upon up tothe present. A rumor 1s current to the effect that the purchase of the City Hall has been recom- mended to the gprerement and that the matter 1s now under consideration, Should the federal gov- ernment decide upon this purchase the city would take the Jand on each side of the Court House, on Joralemon street, between Fulton and Court, and build wings to that structure, which would afford ample room for all the departments. Tne cost of the Improvement would be about $700,000. ‘the City Hall cost when built $260,000, COLLEGIATE EXAMINATIONS. vent Progress di Results of the Annual In- termediate Examinations at Normar College, College of the City of New York, Columbia College and New York University. This is the season fixea by the city colleges for their intermediate examinations, at the conclusion of the first term for the year, and itis in some cases but a review, while in others it decides whether the students are to continue in their course or are to be put back. Asa whole the students are un- usually proficient, notwithstanding that the col- leges are fuller than at any previous time. NORMAL COLLEGE. There are about 1,000 students, the largest num- ber attending any similar institution on this Conti- nent, and, perhaps, in the world. This is the close of the first term in the new edifice, corner of Fourth avenue and Sixty-ninth street. The ex- amination lasted all last week, and the results were announced to the students on Mouday. About three-quarters of the young ladies were advanced toa higher grade. All the members of the gradu- ating grade received over seventy-five per cent— some, indeed, receiving ninety-nine per cent. The two highest were addressed privately, im the presence of President Hunter and a few others, by the President of the Board of Education, Mr. Neilson complimented them ior their diligeut application during the term, and congratulated them warmly upon their brilliant success, Aiter the names of the students who were advanced had been read there was come very fine choral singing. Several prominent gentlemen interested | in the cause of education, both in this city and from the neighboring States, were seated on the platiorm, and seemed to take a great interest in the exercises, Among the innovations introduced into this col- lege is a system of Culisthenics. Every student is obliged to practise with an india rubber chest ex- pander, under a acientitic instructor, tor at least quarter of an hour each day. A new building adjacent to the college, on Lexington avenue, will accommodate both a ward schoul and a prac- tical school tor teaching the art of instruction. It 1s designed for 1,000 inmates. The position of the new college gives it some Material advantages. It is tue intention of the Jaculty to make use during the spring and summer months of the Museum of Central Park, at Sixty- fourth street, in illustrating the natural sciences, his mode of instruction 13 the one best adapted to impart practical knowledge. ‘The Lenox Library will also be a valuable auxiliary. It has been the aim of the President to shorten the time of study at home to two and a hall hours a day. If some exceed this it 1s caused either from de- fective rudimentary instruction or irom ambition to stand high in the class. COLLEGE OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK. The examination at this college commencea two weeks ago last Monday, and will be completed to- day. Aithough it is called an examination it is horough review of the term work. The exam- ination as been very satisiactory, most ot the students having done credit to the themselves and their instractors. During the past six months some very great tm- provements have been going on at this college. All the west end of the lower western hall, with the recitation room opening into It, has been added to the library, giving room for many books which had been packed away, useless, The library is now comfortably fitted up, and is conducted on the principle of public libraries, the members of the Introductory Department being admitted. COLUMBIA COLLEGE. ‘The present Columbia College, at Forty-ninth street, seems hardly to be identical with the old institution whose foundation stone was laid in the time of the Georges on the site of the street we call Park place. It is in @ most flourishing con- dition. Tne examination commenced on Monday, and will be completed to-morrow, The Freshman Class was examined in Greek history and Roman antiquities, Greek, algebra, rhetoric and Latin; Sophomores on more advanced portions of the me subjects, with the exception of having mod- ern history Jor algebra; the Juniors in chemistry, paysies, Greek, analyticul geometry, Latin and logic, and the Seniors in Greek, calculus, geolo; philosophy of the intellect, technology, physics, astronomy, Latin, and physics again, During the present week the School of Mines had also its examination; but the names of the studies are too technical to be intelligible to others than scientists. NEW YORK UNIVERSITY. In this institution the curriculum does not vary materially from those of tue colleges already men- tioned. ‘The programme of its examination was also pretty much the same; conducted with the same degree of strictness and with tne same sat- isfactory results, Take all the examinations together, a broad and comprehensive spirit of improvement has devel- oped itself, givil panes of future usefulness, keeping pace alike with the growth of our city and the all-pervading spirit of progress which 1s char- acteristic of our age. QOURT MARTIAL, Organization of the Court to Try Colonel Stauff, Ninety-sixth Regiment, N. G., 8S. N. ¥.—Adjournment Till Next Wednesday. The general court martial which was ordered to convene assembled last might at eight o’clock at | No.7 West Thirteenth sireet. The detatl of tne | court is composed of Brigadier General William G. Ward ; Colonel Charles R, Braine, Ninth regiment; | Lieutenant Colonel Henry C. Lockwood, Seventy- first regiment; Colonel John Fowler, Jr,, Judge | Advocate. At about half-past eight o’clock the doors of the sumptuously carpeted and finely upholstered court room were thrown open and the Court de- clared to be in session. The accused was tien summoned before the trivunal. Colonel Staufy, fol- | lowed by three friends and as many reporters, | marched into the Court. xitea>| ,,Aftet the members of the Court had qualified 71 | tue accused was asked if he desired to challenge (not to pistols and coffee, &c.) any member the Court, and upon his replying in | the megative the Judge Advocate pro- ceeded to read the charges and specifications, , | among which that of “conduct unbeeoming an othcer and a gentieman” was heard. Only a por- | tion of the charges was heard when Colonel Stautt was asked to plead tothem. Here a {riend of the accused interposed and stated that the othcer un- | der arrest should not be required to plead, as his counsel learned in the law was absent. The Court now seemed in ® quandary how to proceed, and | discussed the questiun as to whether tne accused | should be required to plead, notwithstanding the absence of counsel, in order that thereafter a post- ponement might be granted. Pending this discus- sion the fact that the charges had not been read was lost sight of entirely. At last the Judge Adyocate remembered to ask the accused if he had been served with @ copy of the charges and specifications, and Colonel Stauff acknowledged tnat he nad. But no farther offer was made to read the papers inthe hands of the Judge Advo- cate; and, amid a cloudy confusion of ideas that something had been left undone or omitted, the Court agreed to grant an adjournment of its sit- ting until Wednesday evening, the llth inst., at tive o'clock.

Among the arguments against the bill is one to the effect that the Legislature has no fright to use the people’s money for an; urpose without af least obtainin; a 4 Peved sanction. it is alse rged BILL, expenditure: iy Teal patriotic sentiment ought to spring spontane- ously from the fe and by private subscription. The bill is to be brought up tor action next week. Judging from the tone of Jersey sentiment on the matter the Legisiature will scarcely dare attempt to be so generously patriotic at the expense of their constituents as to give away $100,000 of their eye E. K. WINSHIP’S RETURN. Am Interview with the Great Salary Broker—Mutilation of His Books and Accounts During His Absence—Ludiow Street Jail Hath No Terrors for Him— Racy Developments Expected. The HBRALD of yesterday contained the exclo- sive announcement of the revurn from Europe of Mr. E. K. Winsnip, notary public, of No. 24 Broad street, who mysteriously left this city last Novem- ber on account of bis financial eimbarrassments. Mr. Winship was formerly 4 paymaster in the navy apd cashier in the Philadelphia Sub-Treasury. His | liabilities are about $400,000. A reporter of the HERALD met Mr. Winship | yesterday and had the following interview witb him :— MR, WINSHIP'S STATEMENT. Last November I found myself in a terribly em- | barrassed condition, brought about by men in | Public offices, to whom [had advanced money, re- fusing to act honorabty towards me, by pocketing their salary instead of: handing it over tome as agreed. My financiil troubles commenced after Mr. Fred Ogden left the Custom House. He had facilitated my coming into possession of what was owing to me while he was in oftice, I constantly had a pile of checks paid me monthly, often a couple of inches deep. Ajter Ogden had to leave my matters in the Custom House went to the bad. Then came the financial revolution of September. I paid constantly the rate of turce and a halt per cent for the loan of money, and when public ollicials cheated me out of my rights my complications naturatly accrued at a rapid rate, The money I borrowed at the high rates above mentioned was from men who would willingiy pay $50,000 to have their names Kept out of the public prints as my cre¢itors. The list of men to whom Lam indebted at the present moment numbers about seventy-two, of which num. ber sixty-six have consented to aijlow me to resume business and do the best I can forthem. The creditors have tried to realize my estate and have been unsuccessiul. Icame back here of my own volition to help them, as I thought it my duty to pay whatI can. Ofcourse, I cannot pay dollar lor dollar, The money I owe 18 mostly interest on interest, the principal being a small percentage of the sum involved. It is probable that I shall recommence business on the Ist of March; but, at the samo time, there are about half a dozen creditors who are trying to fight me, 1 have acted the part of an honest man tn returning to the city to face my creditors, Aman cannot do more; and if a band- ful of them should decide to throw me into Ludlow Street Jail they can doo, tf they think it aavan- tageous. If they do so the list of my creditors and debtors will be published, which will shock some delicately constituted minds, among whom may be mentioned prominent officials in the Cus- tom House, Sub-Treasury, Post Office, police and other public departments, theatric: and circus people, &c., &c. Now that lam back again I fear no publicity, feeling conscious that, if I have bad to charge ‘high discounts,” 1 have had to pay ex- orbitant rates of moncy lor the money I borrowed, THE SAYING OF THE DUXK OF WELLINGTON, that high interest is bad security, has been exem- lutied in my case. There is a fortune to be made in my line of business, however. The majority of my sults were brought in the Jefferson Market District Court, and it is untrue, as has been alleged, that Justice Fowler is in a “pool with me. He has seen that man have mortgaged their saiary 10 me, and, instead ot 2cting honorably, have continu- ally received payment of their Wages without handing over a stiver tome. I have a legal resi- dence in the Ninth ward for prosecuting these cases. -I have requested my creditors to avpoint a committee to work with me, to realize what is ow- ing to myestate. Without my assistance, I cap assure you positively, they can do nothing, UTILATED BOOKS AND ACCOUNTS. When I lett tue United States I sent the key of my safe and other keys for places where documents were kept by the pilot, have to-day seen my books and papers, and find that they are muti- lated. Ido not care for this, as 1 have other cata which will show the correct figures, and with ref- erence to this matter there hangs a big tale, on which I preier to say nothing for a few days. If the matter should come before the United States Commissioner, as my estate was thrown into bankruptcy directly after my departure, the mat- ter when exposed will doubtless cause several arrests. Since my return the majority of my creditors have expressed themselves a8 very | fmendly toward me, and J believe them, for our mutual interests are at stake. During my official career I deiy any living soul to prove a dishonor- able action against me, and during my business career I will only say that I have never solicited a customer, but that they ali have come to see me and requested me to advance money. Now that I am engaged in doing the best I can for those to whom i am indebted I shall have to commence nu- merous suits, and in the majority of cases I believe 1 can realize dollar for dollar. I have lent money princtpally tomen having yearly salaries in publis offices and of good repute. When they are dise chargeu I generally lose ail hold on them. ¥ THE TRIP TO EUROPE. REPORTER—Will you tell me about your trip to Europe, Mr. Winship? Mr. Wrxsnir—Certainly ; I left my cottage on Staten Island on the morning of the 12th ol Novem- ber, IN @ perfect state of desperation, hardly knowing what 1 did, so involved did my business prospects seem. On arriving in this city | went ‘up to my rooms in the Ninth ward and obtained a stock of clothes and linen, and finally touna myself on board the Scotch steamer Trinacria, bound for Glasgow. When the pilot was about leaving us [I | wrote @ note to my clerk, sending him the keys | above alluded to for my safe, &c. ‘During the voy- | age, which was anything but a pleasure trip to me, I resolved to return to the States as soon as possible. I went, upon the arrival of the ‘Trinacria at Glasgow, to tne Waverly Hotel, the date veing the 29th of Novem- ber. After stopping there a tew days I went on to Edinburgh, stopping there at the Waverly Hotel, and trom thence on to London, where I stopped at the Waverly Hotel in Bow lane, Cheapside. While in London [ saw the HERALD of the 19th of Novem- ber alluding to my “mysterious disappearance.’? The HERALD is the American paper most read in London, and I constantly was on the lookout for it, My residence in London soon grew_unendaura- ble to me, and I resolved to return to New York, and accordingly leit Liverpool by the Allan steamer Prussian and arrived at Portiand on the 8th of Jan- uary, and came on direct to this city, where | have since conferred with nearly all my creditors, I was on English soil about three weeks, HIS PRINCRLY ESTABLISHMENT. Some of the New York papers have stated that Thad on Staten Island a pack of Rounds (here Mr. Winship laughed till the tears rolled trom his eyes). Let me tell you what they consisted of. They were a Spitz dog given me by a Staten Island brewer and my little favorite biack and tan. Now as to my wonderful carriage horses. In the first place they did not match, except im gait. One of them [I bought from a fish venaer in Connecticut for $ and the others were all cheapanimals. To disti My mind trom its engrossing cares, driving all over Staten Island was my hobby. The jour ion brutes are now Sherif’s prisoners in jersey City, and have not been outside their stable for two months, which I look upon as an act of cruelty, it is not true that they were surreptitiously removea by me from Staten Island, but were seized by one of my creditors to whom I owe $500, I asked my creditors to-day to have them sold, in the name of humanity, so that they can be in the hands of some one who will care for their welfare. Une more detail and | am done. rincely”’ residence at lompkinsville, , Was & five-roomed house, for which I paid $25 a month. A report was spread that I had takep with me a large amount of money. All I have to say is, if I hud ap in London much longer I could not have paid my passage back to Gotham. While abroad | did not meet a single person I knew. 1 am now back in the United States, thank God, and shall regret to the last day, of my life that 1 was soolish enough to ieave it for an instant. A BREWER REJOICES THE BAPTISTS, In all the churches of Newark there has lately been manifest more or less of a revival spirit, but more especially among those of the Methodist de- nomination. Still the Baptists consider their ef forts have been crowned with the greatest good, and they are particularly happy over the conver- sion to their peculiar views of one of the bess known German brewers of the city and one of the wealthiest likewise, Mr. Joun A. Boppe. Special mention of his “change of heart” was made in churev, and the convert has, to some exten shown his‘laith by bis practice by throwing up his splendid brewing business and a ig for the general turning over of a new leaf. In iurther proof of his sincerity he has determined, it is said, not to permit nis property to be used ior brewing purposes. His is one of the finest and most ex- tensive breweries in the country. Mr. Boppe was one of the Greeley Presidential Blectors Tor New Jersey, His movements have created consider- able of a sensation in New: cepecialt the German element, ‘ark, especially among BROOKLYN MORTALITY. There were 173 deaths in Brooklyn during the past week.
