Mr. Justice Runt, of the Supreme Court of the United States, will sit to-day in the Circuit Court, ‘No. 97 Chambers street, ana proceed with the ‘nearing of appeals in bankruptcy. Alter these are ‘disposed of he wili take up appeals in admiralty if time ts left him for that purpose, Judge Benedict will to-morrow epen the regular ‘term of the United States Circuit Court, on the criminal side, at No. 27 Chambers street. Froba- ‘bly the government will again try Charnes Callen- Ger for the alleged acceptance of a bribe of $76,000 from the Ocean National Bank to influence his ‘oMcial action as bank examiner. It will be re- membered that on’ the first trial of this case, ‘which extended to thirteen days, the jury were discharged without having agreed upon @ veraict. Judge Nathaniel Shipman yesterday opened the adjourned April term of the United States Circuit Court for the trial of civil jury causes, There was quite a large attendance of jurors, the recent fines imposed on gentlemen for non-attendance appear- | ‘ing to have had a good effect. The Judge disposed | of one or two unimportant revenue matters, In the United States Circuit Court yesterday, be- Tore Judge Nathaniel Shipman, the case of Anthony Gechs vs. Thomas Marphy, ex-Collector of this port, came on for tal, The cause was tried once before without any result. The plaintiff is an ex- } tensive importer of wine, doing business in this city. He made an importation of wine in botties, and upon this, under the acs of 1870, the govern- ment imposed an ad valorem duty at 80 much per gallon, and then, taking the number of bottles, placed a specific duty of three cents each on them, Tue plaintiff claims that the duty on the botties should not have been added, the wine having been assessed at an ad valorem duty per gallon in the first instance. The question is purely one of law a5 to the construction of the act. The case is still on, ! THE POLICE KIDNAPPING. | An Effort to Show Mrs. Small, the Foster + Mother of Teresa Small, a Panel Game Practitioner—Her Likeness from the | Rogues’ Gallery of Philadelphia. The eXamination-upon the charge of kidnapping ‘Teresa Small, preferred against Police Commis- sioner Gardner and Captam Williams, of the Eighth precinct, was resumed yesterday in the Supreme Court, Special Term, room, before the same large and curious crowd that have attended the examination from the beginning. United States Commissioner Davenport still champions ‘the cause of the police officials, but im the ab- sence of Mr. Howe yesterday the prosecution was conduczed by Mr. Abe H. Hummel. The child Teresa was present under the escort, as hereto- tore, of vetective McDougal. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clifton, were likewise in attendance, as also was Captain Williams. Mrs. Small, whose abseuce began with the previous session, stil keeps dway.

A “thrice told tale” elready is the Brinkley di- vorce suit, and, of course, it is uznecessary on Its retrial to enter upon a recapitulation of all the details. Both sides of the story can be briefly epitomized. The daughter of Mr. Charles, at one time an actor of considerable repute, while at- tending school, in 1855, at Iuka, Miss, formed the acquaintance of Hagh Brinkley, the son of a very wealthy gentleman, residing at Memphis, Tenn. Nine years later, such is her story, this soquaint- ance ‘was renewed in this city and he asked her to marry him, but said, as his father wished an heiress im Philadelphia, the must be s private one. They tuverefore dispensed with the mar service and lived as man and wile, stopping at Various hotels and boarding houses in this cit, They travelled extensively, and in 1869 he aban- aoned her. His story i8 that she waa only his mistress—thts and nothing more. After his aban- donment she instituted a suit for a limited divorce in the Court of Chancery in Tennessee, but | was beaten. Removing to this city ahe brought a | similar avit here. Pending the suit she obtained | an order compelling him to pay alimony and coun- sel fees, He tried to avoid compliance with this order, but it was nally affirmed by the Coart of Appeals, The suit was tried before Judge Van Brant at 8) ‘Term, but the testimony was so conflicting that he considered the case ought to eae ‘® jory, and in this view was sustained yy the higher courts, There was a large crowd in attendance yesterday to listen to the retrial and the probability te that it will last some days. Messrs. Beach & Brown are her coun- sel and Mr. H. Anthony conducts the case for the defendant. All day yesterday was consumed in | her examination. Though thirty-one years of age she ls still a beautiful woman and was plainly though elegantly attired. She told her story in plain, straightforward manner, and though sub- jected to a long and searching cross-examination, did not deviate in the slightest from her original | statements. There was considerable controversy | on admitting her diary aa evidence, but it was | finally received. This diary, an easy, off-nand, but | spirited and piquant recital of her life and journeys while living with the deiendant, shows herto bea | lady of rare culture, and with an extent of observa- tion and power of description seidom excelled in this department of literary effort. On the opening of the Court this morning her croas-examination will be resumed, SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS, Mrs. Duncan Templeton After Her Child. Before Judge Donohue. Mrs. Duncan Templeton, whose husband was recently sent to State Prison for some years for } attempting her life with a pistol, 1s seeking to ob- tain the custody of her child, which previous to the trial of her husband was in bis care. Her counsel, Mr. William F, Howe, was to have made an application in this case yesterday for the sar- render of the child to her, but bis engagement in another court compelled ite postponement. Mrs, Templeton, accompanied by two lady friends, was in Court, and ,as naturally might be supposed, was the centre of general observation. Admitted to Bail. Before Judge Lawrence. In the case o1 John Steurer, who is charged with Manufacturing burglars’ tools, and through this Medium with having had more or less to do with the recent frequent escapes from Sing Sing Prison, Judge Lawrence yesterday dismissed the writ of habeas corpus. Some communications having passed, however; between District Attorney Phelps and the District Atiorney of Westchester county, it was decided to admit him tn $5,000 Decisions. | | ‘Municipal Police, attached to the Seventeenth precinct, Fiftn street and First avenue; I know the | Womau who ciaims to be Annte Smail; I did not | know her until the 14thof January; she was pre- | viously known to me as Mollie Rush (looking at | &@ photograph produced) ; I recognize it as that of | Mollie Rusn; to the best of my opinion I arrested | her while residing at No. 367 Bowery; several com- | plaints had been made to me o! rovbery committed | in this house during the time she lived | there; on the 4th of January a gentieman | complained to me that he had -been | Fobbed at No. 367 Bowery, and he described the | ‘woman that roboed him; I went in to make the | arrest and found no one in the rooms; the woman | Small toliowed me in the street and called me Aithy names, for having the impudence to call at her house, and dared me to take her to the station house ; kept jollowing me and abusing me on my post; a crowd collected; sie wouldn't away, and [| took ber to the station house for dis- orderly conduct, and Judge Flammer, at Essex Market, put her under $500 bail to keep the peace ; I had seen the woman for five montts before when | walking along the street; I had seen the child | ‘Teresa; she used to stand at the door of this num. ber all the time; | asked ber a couple of times she wasn't cold staying out on the street so much, id she said “no; she would walk back and for- ard from the corner of Fourth street to this house; when the woman Small was coming back, if she bad a man with her, the girl wouldn’t go near her; but if not Teresa would run up and take her by the arm.

M. to-day. AN EXTRADITION CASE. Charge of Forgery Against a Prussian. Yesterday a case arising under the Extradition law came before Commissioner John A. Shields, inthe United States Commissioners’ Office, On j an affidavit sworn by Mr. Frederick Hinkel, Consul | Generali of the German Empire, Carl Vallentin, a native of Berlin, was arrested op a charge of hav- ing, in November, 1873, forged the names of Louis Beckhof and Moritz Sostheim, of Berlin, doing business in that city under the firm name of Sost- heim & Beckhofy, to certain bills of excnange. After committing the forgery, as alleged, Vallentin fea from Prussia and took up his residence in this country. The prisoner, who is an extremely good- ooking man, and apparently not more tnan twenty-nve years of age, was arrested by Deputy Marshal Bernard on the present charge on Satur- day last on the Staten Island ferryboat, as he was toming up to town. It appears that a suit has m commenced in the Sa- preme Court of this city against Vailenun lor the recovery of certain moneys which he ts ac- | cused of having embezzled tn Beriin. The amount of this embezzlement, together with the sums al- lewed to have been obtained by the prisoner on the bills of exchange said to’ have been forged | amounts altogether te about 30,000 thaiers. When the prisoner was brougnat before Commissioner | Shields (acting in this matter in the temporary absence of Commissioner White, who issued the Warrant), ex-Governor Solomon appeared as coun- | sel for the Germau government, and at the request | of the Commissioner explained to the accused ta | Tyg Prussian langaage the nature of the charge | t Das been preierred against bim.

BROOKLYN COURTS, Now the Grand street church trouble is before the courts in another form. An election of trustees has been announced for to-day, but several members of the present Board have refused to open the church, Yesterday John Snyder, one of the trustees, applied to Judge Pratt, of the Su- preme Court, for a mandamus to compel the trustees to open the church to-day for the pur- poses of the election. Judge Pratt granted an | order compelling them to ehow cause this morning why a mandamus should not issue. The matter of the application for 8 mandamus to compel the County Treasurer to pay the Aldermen for their services as Supervisors as well was heard by Judge Pratt yesterday. ‘I'he application was made by Alderman and Supervisor Brown, who Claimed that he was entitled, by the terms the new charter, to a double salary. County Treasurer Gardiner submitted an affidavit, stating that he declined to pay the relator compensation under the act of 1869 as a Supervisor, becanse there is a doubt as to whether the relator—who was an Al- derman of the city of Brooklyn, and who was made @ Supervisor and @ member of the Board of Super- visors of Kings county, by virtue oi a provision in the charter of the city of Brooklyn, as passed by the Legislature of the State of New York ta 1873, and which took effect January 1, 1874—was en- titled to pay as such under the law; and, being a public officer, deponent preierred to have the de- Cision of a Court upon the question belore he paid said relator a compensation as Supervisor. De- cision reserved, In the City Court yesterday Judge Reynolds heard the argument on @ motion for a permanent injunction to prevent the Atlantic Avenue Rail- Toad {rom using or interiering with the De Kalb Avenue Rallroad’s tracks on Front street. Coun- sei for the former company heid that the plaintii’s proper remedy was by a suit for compensation, and that they had no right to an tujunciion, De- cision reserved. “STEAM LANES,” — {From the Washington National Republican.) We look to the day, which can hardly be far dis- tant, when a general system of maritime regula. | tlons and jurisprudence will compel “steam lanes’? | Over the busy highways of the Mediterranean, from the shores o/ Asia to our own Pacific coast 5 indeed, over every sea now ploughed by the levia- than agents of commerce. “Lanes” for sailing craft | May become @ fact of the fature also. Now a ship without steam power, sailing from this port for Liverpool, with adverse winds, must utilize every local” advantage, “tacking” according to her ability, sometimes nding herseli far to the north- Ward of the routes of ocean steamers and often far to southward, If a belt for sailing M4 laid log: down after an exhaustive digest of books, by which Maury was able to organize his geography of the beg could be placed | the charts furnished for the merchant marine, there would be no difficulty in compelling saili ships to confine themselves to specined zones. It would thus ultimately result that we should have & Perfect knowledge of the navigable ocean, and that @ vessel would seldom be out of sight of some imme- diate and protecting power. How, in view of the great change necessary to security of Iife and property, can Messrs.

Prices at Home and Abroad—Government and Railroad Bonds. MONEY ABUNDANT. WALL StReer, } Monpay, May 11—6 P. M. If the market were not thoroughly fictitious the course of prices to-day would be somewhat en- couraging to all who base their expectations of profit upon @ permanent advance. There have been in the near past alternate periods of strengtm and weakness—see-saw movements suddenly Made that disturbed the best calculations, making both fortunes and losses, and each change was ex- pected to be the last. Such appears to be the pre- vailing opinion now, the remark being not infre- — quently made that the market is too low for 4 SUCCESSFUL BEAR MOVEMENT, and must perforce commence work on the ascend» ing scale. Perhaps the belief is true, but similar conditions have so often recently been presente@ as to raise a legitimate doubt whether we are not even now standing on the edge of a further decline that will sharply show itself between this and the end of the present week. If there was a confident ‘undertone to the market these precaationary re- marks would be unnecessary; but no careful ob- server of passing events, or of the movements of inaividuals, or of THE CONDITIONS OF TRADE, ghows @ disposition to back his judgment with is money and take large risks. The business of the whole country 1s gradually, bat very certainty, re-estabiishing itself upon a lower basis of values, We hear of tne process among nearly all classes of merchants. The talk abput specie resumption, the determination of the President to prevent in- flation, the enforced economy of tae people, the decline of our imports, the decline of our prodauc- tive power, the shrinkage of expenditures every~ where~thege are facts more eloquent than any that Wall stteet can present or antagonize, and they fully account for the depression that Keema the immense surplus of money now lying idle from seeking investment among the devious ways of speculation. THE TRANSACTIONS TO-DAY amounted to 151,804 shares. Of Western Uniow there were sold 82,380; Lake Shore, 37,730; Union Pacific, 20,800; Pacific Mail, 18,120; St. Paul com- mon, 11,100; Enie, 7,000; Rock Island, 6,200; North- west, 8,800; Wabash, 2,700; New York Oentral 2,850; ©. and {. C., 1,530; St. Louis and Irom Mountata, 1,100; Ohio and Mississippi, 1,180; Dela- ware and Lackawanna, 857. THE COURSE OF STOCKS was as follows:—Western Union upened at 73%, advanced to 72%, but at the close sold at 713 @ Tl. Pacific Mali sold at 45a 45% a 45% 945% & 45a 44% @ 44%. New York Central ranged be tween 98% a 98% and 983g. Erie opened at 353, moved to 36% and closed at 35, Union Pacific sold at 3046 2 80% a 20% 0 20%. Lake Shore was firm at 16 2 1T% @ 77a 76% a 76%. C.,C. and L 0. opened at 203; and closed at 204. Northwest common sold at 43% 8 43% a 44 243%. Ohio and Missis- sippt opened at 24% and closed at 24. Rock Island sold at 97% @ 984 a 08% 8 07% & 97K & OTK. Wabash at 40% a 40%a 40% a S95. St, Paul common at 34% @ 35% a 353 a35 a 34%. The preferred stock closed at 5434 a 56. Hannibal and St. Joseph opened at 28 and went off to 27%. Dela- ware, Lackawanna aud Western was steady a& 107% a 108, It will be seen from the above desorip- tion that the market was generally lower at the close, and is still obedient to DEPRESSING INFLUENCES, ‘The early strength of the market was doubtless owing to the firmness of New York Central and Lake shore. The decline was accounted for in some circies by reports from Washington that? Congress was likely to tax lands donated to rail- roads the same as other lands. There was some comment upon the rumor that the Lake Shore Ratlway Company might possibly be leased to the New York Central; but Wall street is never with- out its theories, and operators can well afford to accept these statements cum grano salis. HE MONEY MARKET. Money closed at 3 and 4 per cent on cal, Foreign exchange was quiet, and for actual business quoted at 4.87% a 4.88 for bankers’ sixty Gays’ sterling and 4.903¢ a 4.91 for demand.
