The Premier-Fxpectant Propounds a Cabinet Policy. - ‘LABOR, CAPITAL AND THE FRANCHISE, “Nothing So Vile as an English Jacobin rish Home "ule the Dismemberment of the eritish Empire. ———_+ ‘amine, Misery and Death in India. r. Disraell addressed a meeting of the electors of Buckinghamshire in the Town Hall, Bucking- ham, on Tuesday, February 10, in the afternoon. He was accompanied by Sir R, Bateson Harvey, Mr. Richardson Gardner, M. P. for Windsor, and Mr, Montague Corry, his private secretary. There was a very crowded attendance, and among those present upon the platform and in the body of the hall were many ladies, most of whom wore the conservative colors. ‘Yhe Hon. Percy Barrington was in the chair. Mr. DISRAELI Upon rising was greeted with loud and continued cheers. He said:— ELECTORS OF ‘was very much honored and gratified at hearing that you wished to see me before the election took place of your representative. This was on your part a natural ieeling, and I can assure you on my Own it was always my intention, before the general election took place which we have been anticipating now ior some time, to visit the principal towns of the county, and to communicate freely with my constituents, { came to that resolution in consequence of the change which took place under arecent act, which ter- minated the existence of nomination days. I did not myself agree with the measure for terminat- ing nomination days, I think for nomination days much may be urged in their favor. In this county, atour county hall, at elections men of different opinions attended, and from all parts of the coun- | try, on the day of nomination. I am bound to say, having had a tolerably long experience of these days, tuat the general resuit was one, I think, satisfactory to both sides, There was a tull communication of the opinion of the country 80 assembled and represented in ali its parts, I am told the nomination days were scenes always of turmou and of turbulence. Ican only say myself that I pave met the assembled county, fairly rep- resenting all parties in it, and that I was always treated with respect and listened to with at- tention—{“Hear, hear!’)—and 1 believe that was also true o: ail other candidates. [| therefore, regret the termination of those days. It is @ very hard case for many characters who on those occasions came forward and represented the various moods ana humors of the country. With our septennial Parttaments he had seven years to prepare his jokes, and it seems very hard that ne sbould lose such an op- portunity of visiting his sharp shaits upon his representative. (‘Hear, hear!”) However, gentle- men, the resuit has been that ali we can do now, in order to meet our constituents before a general election, 1s to visit different districts of the coun- try, and place ourselves in communication with our constituents; but the fact is, gentlemen, the present dissolution has been so'sudden and the whole of the arrangements have been so pressed, that it has been impossible to make those arrange- ments on our side wnich would have been desira- bie for vhis Iree communication. Here, however, gentlemen, I am toid that it is stil more expedient that L should have the pleasure of meeting you, as ‘there is a contested election In tne county of Buck- ingham. (Alaugh.)

(Laughte vow, gentiemen, J do not come here to make a political Speech, or @ political manilesto. My views nave been freely placed velore the country, and the general election now being virtually over, there are many reasons which deter me trom vb- truding them’ on public attention; but, [cannot meet my constituents—who have confided to me the guardianship of their interests for so many years, and who, I trust, are going to continue their confidence—I cannot, of course, meet them without adveriing in some degree to political affairs. Isaid that the general election was vir- tually over, and I must say the conclusion of it, Without any reference to party interests or party triumphs, is one very satisiactory to myseif; and, I think,’ on reflection, it will’ be so lo you. In this generai election, for example, I een nothing of the hostility between capital and labor which bas been dinned into one’s ears jor & considerable time past by demagogues, as probably being the source of the juture destruction Ol this country. On the contrary, taking 5 gem eral view, | have seen a very good understanding between the employers and the employed, and the employed generally have elected for their repre- sentatives those who ewploy them—those par- ticularly who are distinguished ior their experi- ence and their sense of public duty and their general adaptability for the position which they sought. ‘Ihcre have been instances where the workingmen o| this country have elected men of their own order to represent them, and, 80 far as [ can judge, the instances are rare. Those instances have been selected with great dis- cretion. The mewber for Stafford I belleve per- fectly qualified to full the public duties which await hum. He is not unknown to the members of the late Parliament, because ne gave bis evidence upon the Mines Ke gulation Committee, and he tm- parted to thatcominittee most valuable tnforma- | tion, the resuits Of bis OWN experience, in a man- ner which showed he was a person perfectly worthy of the position which he bas attained. — Again, in a distant county, the member for Mor- peth. Ido not know personally so much of him as of the gentleman to whom | have adyerted, but I believe, from what I have heard, that he is a man | entitled to the post which he occupies. But all sham workingmen’s candidates, ail the traue demagogues who have been pandering to the pas- sions of the thoughtless for 80 many years, Lave been rejected, witnont any exception, by the sen- sible people of England. (Hear, hear!) Weil, I think that 18 ome Of the most satisfactory results of the general election. I know nothing more vile THAN AN ENGLISH JACOBIN; itis the very worst and feeblest imitation of the | most odious of characters. Now, all that class of individuals mast feel that they have been living in @ fool's paradise Ml they suppose that they could | rise to notoriety or eminence by misleading tae people o! this country. (‘‘Hear, yw Weil, then, 48 lar as this so-much-talked-of hostility between capital and labor is concermed, I think the general election may reassure the minds of those who might have been mixied by the exaggerated or en- tirely false statements that have been made 30 long and made with impunity. Well, then, there ip another result of the generai election that I think is HOt Without satisiaction to all, and that is the good understanding which has been shown between the two important classes, the landowners and occupiers of the sotl, for the last three or four yoars; also, we bave been as- sured that this gvod ‘feeling which has so long supsisted between the landlord and the tenants, and which tas been one of the most powerful mainstays of the order and security and general happiness of nis country, was greatly weakened, and was, in point | of fact, fast arriving at a position of extreme pert. But I don't see that, in this election, ther: is the silghtest evidence of that. (Hear, hear!) 1 see, on the contrary, there is @ thorough and mutnal confidence between those two powertul classes, and that although we have been told that ine mo: ment that the ballot Was introduced it woula be ound that the assumed confidence was not sin- cere, on the contrary we have the most striking eviaence between these two powerful classes, on ‘which the order and security of the country de- pend, that that mutual confidence is unimpaired.

(Uheers.) THE FRANCHISE AND BALLOT. There is one polut upon which | will pause for a moment. itis hardiy six years ago since an act Was passed which has largely increased the con- | Sttuencies o1 the United Kingdom. . From inevi- table circumstances the dissolution of Parliament Was obliged to take place belore the act was thor- oughly digested by the country, or before apy of the organization necessary in public affairs gould bo matured with respect to taking the voice Of the peopie, The immediate result o1 was that those who opposed itin Parliament Teaped an iiamense majority. I know that, though | there are many oO! my friends who believed that we | had carried a measure that would be permunently , injurious to the conservative cause in this country, | Tnough naturaliy astonished at tne resuitin the last elecuon, | uever wavered in my conviction and | my confidence that it would ultimately turn to the advantage 0) the conservatives of this country. I do not see that these results, s0 disastrous the conservative party, were gen- to erally au about by the constituenctes in | wuich 1 extended the trust. ‘Those constituencies, like the great Lancashire constitu encies, Piampheeee asserted conservative opinion; but they fell before the organization of Staller towns, where sectarian interests predomi- | nated, But tie result has been shown—though it isan act which hag only been in existence six years—the result has been shown by this election | That those who had confidence in the character of | the rngiish people were not mistaken, (Cheers.) | For I could never bring myself to believe that tie | great body of the aglish people were not devoted to the interests of their country.

He must have known and felt that it was to the traditions of the country in which he lived, and the great exploits which those traditions em- balmed—that he thought that the dweller tn an | isiand 04 limited size ranked with those who live ib countries Which are calied empires, and wruch | are supposed to exercise 80 muca iniluence in the worid, an is proud of his | country, which is rich in historical recollections, and he is proud of @ gountry whose power he ieels has been creaced by his alcestors, and he values | the heritage which has descended to bim. That is not the Man Who Would go and destroy the conse- quences of this rich national experience and sink to what he would then be—tne inhabitant ol a very second rate country, whose resources are in no Way equal to the splendor of the position which it occupies, and to which it 18 indebted as much for its moral quaitties as ior its national posses- sions. hereiore, I never did falter in my confi- dence in the success of the measure of 1563, be- cause, atter all, Wuat was it but ope whicn gave | iree play to the character of Englishmen? Well, gentlemen, 1t 18 impossible to deny that to us, as @ conservative party, the result of this general election must be highly satisfactory. We feel that the course of this country must, if not guided, be geueraily influenced now by conservative princi- ples, and we are satisfied that that rest- less’ system of constantiy attacking all inter- | ests and institutions in the State has received a | been debauched by legislation and the policy of | blow in this election irom which, I trust, it will | never recover. Jhere are one or two points at | tus time which must be a source of great anxiety even to @ triumpiant political party, and one of those has not been much noticed in our addresses, That 1s the state of India. Butit is one which 16 | Wii soon be necessary to bring before the consid- eration of bogland. I have myself studiously avoided touching upon it.

(Hear, hear!) Now, gentle- | men, there is nothing in politics so diMcult as for a | government TO UNDERTAKE TO FEED A PEOPLE. Philosophers, udeed, who uecide upon all subjects upon avstracr principles, have laid it down that unuer no circumstances should such an office be | undertaken by a government. It js said that the | moment the government enters the market as a | purchaser with the view of feeding a nation all | private dealers disappear, because it 18 quite im- possible tor a private dealer to compete with @ pur- | chaser who does not seek a profit, It is said, on the other hand, tuat ir all private dealers intertered | @ government lias the advantage of a monopoly, | and as the only purchaser must necessarily ob- | tain good terns. But we must remember this, that the mviment a government undertakes to feed @ people, although the government may | have a ‘cowpetitor in the market, the government is obigea to give any price lor the food that is demanded. The government | has no option tue moment it publicly undertakes | the duty. Nor should we forget that commerce is. | by no weans merely an affair of gross purchase.

I would Say but afew words on it, but I could not meet you here to-day and be entirely stient upon the subject. The great political excitement of the last five i. occasioned by the existing Ministry, has been chiefly caused by their Irish poticy. (Hear, hear!) They vegan with great measures, they came in to pass great measures for Ireland, and they did pass great measures, Whatever you may think of tueir merits, all will agree that they were large in their dimensions, (Laugater.) The cause alleged for these measures was the pacifica- tion.and the tranquidization oj Ireland. I think I | am not Misstaung the case when | say that vast numbers of tre population of this country agreed to these measures, though their principle was / one which they would not otherwise have approved, because they believed that the pacifica- tion and tranquillization of Ireland would be accomplished and achieved, Now, in the first place, 1 must impress upon yon what I impressed. upon alarge body of my constituents in another art of the country, I must impress upon you that 1 Ireland is now tranquil it is not in Consequence | of those measures, but it is in consequence ol be- ing ruled by coercive legislation oi the most severe and of the most stringent kind. (Cries of “No, no.) I am not here in any way wishing to enter into the merits of the question whether those se- vere und Coercive measures are right and neces- sary, or the reverse. We have neither time, nor 18 it expedient, that we shou!dienter into the discus- sion. Lam only stating lacts.

In the North, cure I see gentlemen who have long represented their constituencies with honor to themselves and their country dis- missed from the service of which they were so { proud because they will not pledge themselves to some principles of law or some change oi the law counected witn the land, which, after all, is in fact @ questioning of the very principies of private property. Well, then, what has produced all tuis disorcer in Ireland? Iam not speaking as a part, Tan upon the subject. Indeed, the party to which I am opposed in politics, and who support the existing government, has suffered more in Ireland in tnis election than my own iriends. I cannot but think that it ts a bad thing when you find @ number of men returned to Parliament on the part of Ireland pledgea to dismember the Kingdom, and in another part men returned who were pledged to question the very principle oi property. hat 18 all this but violence and spoliation? Way, I believe that the country has government. By these means the restless and unreasonable and excited state of public senti- ment has been brought about, the consequences ot which mast be most injurious to Ireland itseif, because it discourages investments, and disgour- ages all those conditions and circumstahces which tend tothe improvement of that couptry, and which, no doubt, wiil enteeble the wer of the general government of the United Kingdom, 1 think that the state of India and of Ireland ts such as to cause great anxiety in the public mind. Well, gentiemen, | speak on these subjects to-day to you as my constituents, not wishing to offer anything like a political programme or to make & manilesto, but I merely make these remarks, which I am bound to make, to my con- stituents, when I meet you and offer you my opinions on public affairs. There is one matter which I tnink I ought to notice, from the many cammunications which I have received from my constituents, especially in this part of the country—that 18, upon the subject of na- tional education. (Cheers.) The existing govern- ment has, both upon the subject of home rule and national education in England, during this event- tal and trying general election, receded from the position which they took up in the House of Come mons, nee hear!) They have held out to the home rulers hopes for an arrangement by which they might fulfil their wishes, and they held out to the secularists in England the hope of au arrange- ment to meet their wishes, I think it is as well we shoula have distinct and clear views upon these I will not dweil tor the moment upon the ambiguous offer made to the home rulers of Ire- land by the present government, for this reason— the home rulers will not accept the government interpretations of home rule. They told you frankiy—J must say honorably—what they intend by home rule, which is to have their own Parlia- ment in Dublin, and as for those weak and timid offers of the government, they have eatirely re- pudiated them, and have thrown out at the polls every supporter of the government who ad- vocated them—(cheers)—that they might in some degree, without departing from their own prin- | ciples, meet the views of the secularists in educa- ton. It appears to me more dangerous, though it is quite as unsatisfactory and ambiguous as the Suggestions that they have made to the home rujers, (Cheers.) coupon than their suggestions, and it seems to me, gentle: men, that, as the general election was at hand, i would have been well for the government to be explicit upon them. We have been told by sev- eval Ministers on the hustings that they do not despair of making an offer to the sup- porters of secular education which will remove all objections that, for instance, are felt py those in tavor of religious education, and also all the objections which are felt by those in favor of secular education, to what is called the twenty-fiith clause. am always ready, if there is a conscientious objection raised by any class of my countrymen to any law which exists, lairiy to consider it; but you may rely upon it that upon this matter there can be no compromise offere (Cheers.) If you can give up the position which you have taken, and which the government has always susiained, you must admit the claims of the party who seck to establish secular education. (Cheers.) The twenty-fitth clause may be called the symbol of the question. Those that are in javor of the twenty-fiivh clause are in favor of religious education. To those who | are not in favor of secular edncation there is no | | middie course, and, therefore, I counsel all those | | who are electing wembers of Parliament, for there | | are still some to elect, not to listen to loose sug- | gestions that the diflicultvy may be removed and a compromise effected, No compromise can be effected, (Cheers.) a only queation before the country is whether e EDUCATION OF THE COUNTRY should be founded ow 4 basis of religion, or whetner it should be simply secular education. The twenty- fifth clause is @ symbol whether we are jor or against it, I appeal to those who, in more modern times, by their representative and my predeces- sor, the Marquis of Chandos, first increased, and beneficially increased, the county constituency of England. (Cheers.) 1 am proud to remember vhat J followed in the course of that eminent man, andi think the counties in the present general evection agree that the measure which I recom- mended was not one that has done injury to the best interests of England. Well, gentlemen, let me also remind you of this fact, of which you may be proud, Since our ponstitution — hi been settled, since the ac ssion of the House of Hanover, there have been, 1 think, not more than thirty Prime Ministers, and not fewer than five of them have been supplied by the county of Buckingham.

Wright. He was, | according to all accounts, a moral sea captain, but | developments now making in the courts show his | private life hardly to have been modelled in ac- cordance with the strict rules of prescribed pro- priety. He was married in early life, it appears, | to @ most estimable lady, who died in 1852, leaving ten children, all of whom are liv- | ing. Meantime, in 1844, on the steamer Galveston, of which be was captain, there was employed, ag | stewardess, Eliza Campbell. An intimacy sprung up between them, and previous to the death of his wife she had three children, of whom it ts claimed he was the father. Shortly alter his wife’s death he met her in this city. She was about going to San Francisco. “My wile is dead,” he said to her, “and there is no obstacle now to our marriage. Will you marry me ?”” “{ will,” woman like, she promptly answered, | They went to the Westciester House—-so con- | tinues the narrative as gathered from the papers beore the Court and the statements—and re- mained there for several weeks, There was no | marriage necessary, but simply @ mutual agree. ment to live together as nan and wile, They did live together part of the time On shipboard, part o! the time in San Francisco and part of the time | at his place at Throgg’s Neck. hile sojourniny Y | at the last place one of their children die | and he caused to be engraved on its tombstone the | name “Humphrey C.

Abbott Brothers, though the case is con- ducted by Mr. Albert A. Abbott, appear for the laintiffs, and Messrs. Foster & Thompson and Mr, joward Wells jor the defendants. The trial will, probably, occupy several days. Most of yesterday was occupied in the examina- tion of Mr. Francis T. Wright, one of the sons by the first marriage. He denies any second mar- Tiage; and this, 1M fact, is the substance of the answer to the compiaint, He had seen Mrs. Campbell, as be called her, sitting at his father’s table and pouring out the tea gud coffee, but never saw her eat at the table. He considered her simply as his father’s housekeeper, though it was known that they kept up an illicit connection. A settlement of $12,000 on her for lite alter his father’s death—the latter having died tntestate—was offered in evidence; but this, he said, was simply done from good will to Mra, Campbell and irom no regard to her as his father’s wile. A release was also submitted, made at the same time with the settlement, the point of which Was that in consideration of the $12,000 she would make no further claim on the estate. The servants who lived with Captain Wright and Ehza at his house in Throgg’s Neck, and numerous other witnesses were examined, who testified to having heard the captain speak of her as Mrs. Wrignt. During the day Mrs. Jane Ford, @ colored woman of proportions rather Amazonian than otherwise, Was cailed as a witness to prove Captain Wright’s manner of treating her. “He called her Lizzie, did he not?” asked the counsel for the plaintit, “Yes, sir.” “And he called you Jane, did he not?” imter- rupted the opposing counsel. es, sir.” “Did he not call her Lizzie dear?’ pursued the first coansel. “Yes sir.?” - “and he never called you Jane dear, did he,’’ continued the counsel, With view to turning the tables on his opponent. “No, sir; she answered, with a shake of the head j, “and he would not dare to, or apy other man.

He Resists Payment of Their Bill on the Ground of Its Being Exorbitant—In- voking Judicial Arbitration to Settle the Dispute. Few men in this city, if any, have haa more ex- perience of the luxury of litigation than Jay Gould, But even he, it seems, when the thing has gone in his opinion too far, does not hesitate to cry out, not- withstanding the deprecation against such utter- ance of the attempted slayer of Macduff, ‘Hold! enough.” He employed, it seems, Messrs, Martin | & Smith to settle the $10,000,000 suit brought against him by the Erie Railway Company. The legal firm named effected the final compromise and settlement of the claim. In conducting these ne- gotiations they were employed from May 31 to De- the | | cember 19, 1872, and they now claim a balance due them of $75,000. Mr. Gould nas chosen to hesitate before paying this bill, avd upon the suit pending for its payment a motion was made yesterday, be- fore Juage Kobinson, holding Special Term o! the | Court oj} Common Pleas, for a reserence wo try ues, On the part of Jay Gould a bill of particulars was demanded, which was furnished, containing many charges, but without assigning any specific value to any specific service, except $76,000 for the cn- tire service. Jay Gould thereupon moved the Court to compel the Fonte os vo furnish the specific values, or at least some of them, to the specific items or charges im the bill. The motion was dented at the Special Term. Upon appeal, the Court, at General Term, modified that order by directing that the plaintits be precluded upon the trial from giving evidence of the value of specific items and confining them a general charge for all the service. Jay Gould by answer, besides denying the services and their value among other delences, alleges the re- tainer 01 the plaintiffs to have been merely as to a bill of sale or retransier of certain mortgage bonds from him to the Erie Ratiw: company had previously sold to him, and claims that he has paid then $10,000—a sum exceeding | the value of their services. He also claims that | most of (he alleged services were unnecessary, in- judictous and unproductive of benefit to him. Mr. Augustus F. Smith made a lengthy argument for the motion. He insisted that the charges were perfectly just and reasonable in consideration of ‘the arduons, but delicate and difficult services performed, It was thought that an examination into the facts before a referee would be the quick- est and easiest way Of settling the case, and upon this and also knowing that tue final determination would rest with the Court the present motion was | the meantime that it was @ swindle, | swore that he never soli General McClellan a horse.

It was contended in opposition, Messrs, Jobn | Graham and George Owen counsel, that the order of prived the case of its referable character, tor the reason that the plaintifs being confined upon the trial to proof of an entire value or general charge for the entire service, neither a any account, within the meaning of code, was required to be examined. It was further claimed that the investigation wil necessarily require the decision of dificult questions of law, which were expressly excepted from the operation of the power of the Court ag matters of re'erence. ‘Phe Court reserved its decision, taking the pa- pers.

Wilham Hawley, alias William Henry Hamiiton, was placed on trial yesterday, in this Court, charged with bigamy. In opening the case, Assist- ant District Attorney Lyon stated to the jury that the prisoner was charged in the complaint with having, on the 28th of June, 1869, married Mary A. Dakin; that he livea with her for some time, and that in the month of February, 1873, he married Mary Elizabeth Gross while his first wife was stil living. The first witness examined was Mary Ann Hamilton, who claims to be the first wife of the accused. She testified that she first met the prisoner at the house No. 61 West Houston street, about seven years ago, and that she was married to him in the Greene street Methodist church on a Saturday nignt in March, five years ago, in the presence of two witnesses. About two years ago she went to Philadelphias Mr. Mitchell, counsel for defence, stated that, by the witness, he intended to prove that she was married to & mau named ‘Long John,” in Phila delphia, during her sojourn there, and that upon ascertaining this jact the F ignerae instituted pro- ceediugs for a divorce, and that lately the decree was granted. Upon being questioned as to this | jact the witness denied that she had married a | second time. Catharine Hagan, of No. 11914 Greene street, was then placed upon the stand, and testified that she was present at the marriage of witness and the prisoner in the Greene street church five years ago. Rev. Elias 5. Osbon, pastor of the Greene street Methodist Episcopal church, produced his registry of marriages, and proved that he married the pris- oner, under the name of William Hawley, to Mary Ebzabeth Gross; it was not the woman Mary Hamilton, now in court ; recoliects the perthey | ‘because he 1s so tall, and because he gave his busi- ness as that of a butcher; this was im February, | rete. 1873. Counsel for the prisoner said the defence would | be that the prisoner labored under dementia, and | that his mind was so upset by Knowledge of bis wiie’s infidelity that he was not accountable tor | what he did, “The” Allen was the first witness called for the | defence. He testified that Catharine Diegan and “Long John” stopped at his hotel and regis- | tered as Man and wile, and they informed him they were married in Philadelphia; the prisoner came making inquiries, and witness isformed him that the parties were man and wife; the hotel was at the corner of Prince and Mercer streets. | “The” showed a littie roving propensity in his an- swers to questions on his cross-examinauon. Mr, Lyon finally brought him up with a round turn. “I want you to give direct answers to my questions, and not 9, round Robin Hood’s barn,” said the Assistant District Attorney sharply. “J will answer them in ny own way,” answered | “The” more sharply. “{ am master here," spoke up Judge Brady, with | more sharpness still, after which “The” was more laconic and direct in his responses. After some turther testimony, which, however, developed no new facts, the counsel summed up | and then Judge Brady charged the jury. Some hours were spent by the jary in deliberation, when they brought in a verdict of guilty. The prisoner was remanded till this morning for sentence.

Betore Recorder Hackett. The first case which District Attorney Rollins presented to the jury yesterday was an indictment for obtaining money by false pretences against John Broderick, who was jointly indicted with Benjamin Newitter. It was shown by the testi- mony for the prosecution that on the sist of De- cember, 1873, a message, which purported to be a cable telegram sent by General George B. McClel- Jan, from Marsala, was left at the office of the At Jantic and Great Western Railroad Vompany, No. 7o Wall street, directing the treasurer to pay @ bill of $450 jor a horse which he had purchased from James McKee; that the telegram was ea aman named Benjamin Newitter was jointly in- dicted, and that when Broderick called for the | | payment of the bill, which was presented the same day the telegram was left, a detective arrested | him, the telegraph company having found out in Mr. McKee Broderick said that Newitter requested him to cail | lor the check and he was ignorant of the swindie, Ofiicer Clapp, in the course of his testimony, said that @ Map named St. John was implicated in the affair, and had been arrested last week in Balti- more upon @ similar charge. The jury rendered a | verdict of guilty of an attempt, and the Recorder | sent Broderick to the State Prison for one year, | the evidence for the prosecution failing to sustain the main offence. A Gang of Swindlers Broken Up. Ferdinan® Bielschofsky, a keen, intelligent look- ing fellow, was arraigned at the bar charged with obtaining money by false pretences on the 17th of September, from Mrs, Catherine Wulff, a widow, residing at No. 87 Kighth avenne. In the absence of his counsel the Court assigned Mr. William Kintzing to defend him. The statement of the complainant showed that the accused, in conjunc- tion with Join Bernheimer ana John Oppen- heimer, used an ingenious mode to victimize her, the device having been very successinl in this city @ lew years ago, and which this gang of | genteel sharpers revived during the past Summer. The snbstance of her interesting narrative was that Bernheimer represented him- | self to be the president of an insurance company, and Bieischoisky was his clerk; that her deceased husband had insured in the com in consequence of his tatlure to make the last an- nual payment there would be only $200 or $300 coming to her. While thus engaged in commu. cating the pleasit intelligence of her good for- tune, which, she said, was too.good to be true, re- that | for $1,000, but | Marking that if her Nuaband, bad tosured his life he would have told her; a “greenhorn.” ag she termed him, made appearance. (his was Op- penbeimer, who did not recognize the other two men, who proved to be of a large quan- tity of valuable goods in the Custom House, whi he could not release until he raised a certain amount of money. He wept bitteriy, and one of the men took pity on him and handed Lim fifty cents, whicts he reiused to acuept, remurking 10 & tone oi of- fended pride, t.at he was no beggar. Two fancy gold watches in @ neat box were then produ Which he said were a present for bis sister-in-law at New Orleans, which he refused to geil, but inut- mated that he would leave them a3 security ior the Payment of @ loan of $150. Mrs. Wulil “took pity” upon the “greenhorn” and advanced the money, ‘That was tie last she saw of the trio until Bielschotaky was arrested upon 4 similar charge of victimizing another woman. A verdict of guilty was promptly rendered. District Attorney Roiilus iniormed the Court that the prisoner succeeded in swindling a large number oj innovent women, and that Bernheimer was now under arrest in Brook- lyn for similar crimes. His Honor sentenced tne prisoner to the State Prison for three years, A Broadway Female Shoplitter Sent to Sing Sing Prison, Rebecca A. French was tried and convicted of grand larceny in stealing @ lad3's gold chain, worth $40, irom the store of Benedict Brothers, No, 171 Broadway, on the 7th 0! this month.

The cham was not recovered, An examination of the tray aiterwards led to the discovery that three chains were missing. Mrs. ‘French’ is weil known to the criminal authorities as @ proiessioual shopliiter, having been sent from this Court to the Penitentiary eight years agu by order Hoffman, and since then bas served te in the Penitentiary and State Prison. The Recorder sent her to the State Prison for lour years aud six months. An Acquittal. Thomas Daley was placed on trial charged with acting in complicity with three young men in at- tacking Benjamin Turner and stealing from hima Pipe, worth $5, on the 7to ol this month, at the corner of Scammel and Monroe streets. Mr. Kintazing called three respectable witnesses te show that Daley did not pardcipate in the assaalt, but simply came out 0/ the saloon to inquire what was the matter on the sidewalk, Tue jary ren- dered a verdict of not gulity without leaving their seats.

Nellie Russell and Catherine Coles, residing at No, 206 Forsyth street, were the complainants. They stated that while in @ room in their house the prisoner became very noisy, and on Miss Coles remon- strating with bim ne drew out @ pen- knife and plunged it into” her right chest twice. He then stabbed her in the arms and face and otherwise maitreated her. Nellie Rua- sell ran to the wounded girl’s assistance, but Ryan turned on her and inflicted several stab wounds upon her before he could be stupped. The wounds o1 Catherine Coles are of a very dangerous char- acter, and may terminate fatally. Ryan admitted having stabbed the woman Coles, but denied hay- ing stabbed Miss Russell, He said he had nothing to say why he had done the stabbing. Justice eee tocked him up without bail to await his YORKVILLE POLICE COURT. The Notorious Cale Gannion giar—A Good Arrest. Beiore Justice Wandell.

The others, who were not arrested till festerday morning, gave their names as John Mulhare, No. 657 Second avenue, and Thomas Brennan, No. 543 First ave- nue. On the prisoners being arraigned in Court Moore was identified as the notorious Cale Gun- nion, Who, many years ago, Was shot and almost killed by the late Dr. Mott, whom he attempted to Tob in Twenty-first street, near First avenue. He was, more recently, arrested on suspicion of hav- ing something to do with the Nathan murder. Brennan claimed to be a conductor on the avenue B cars, and was “breaking in” anew hand when arrested.
