Neen ~ GUENDENNING'S SENTENCE, Dismissed from the Pastorate of His Church. A SEVERE CENSURE. He Appeals from the Judgment to the Synod. The long-expected day for judgment in the Glendenning case arrived yesterday. The Presby- tery assembled at half-past nine o'clock in the First Presbyterian church, The Moderator was absent, The rst business after prayer was of- fered was @ discussion on the letter of Mr. Jones, who was excluded irom giving testimony in re- buttal, and Mr. Glendenning’s answer thereto. O1e.of the members (Rev. Mr, Messereau) insisted that the language of the reply was most improper and called for severe censure. The debate became very warm, and Mr, Giendenning was asked to retire, The following digest of the case was then submitted :— ‘ The testimony tn the case of the Rev, John 8. Glendenning being all in, the Presbytery of Jersey City met in the First Presbyterian church on Mon- day, November 30, to bear the summing up and to take THE FINAL VOTE, The counsel on both eides occupied the whole of Monday and part of Tuesday in summing up, after which the Rey, Mr. Glendenning was asked whether he had anything further to add in bis de- fence. He replied that ne had thought of making some remarks, but in compitance with the advice of nis counsel, he WOULD SAY NOTHING FURTHER, The counsel on both sides then asked and re- ceived permission to withdraw, and they, with Mr, Glendenning, retired. The Presbytery then spent the remainder of the session on Tuesday in prayer for God’s guidance.

M., to receive and act upon the re- port of the committee (Rev. Henry Booth,. cuair- man) appointed to draw up @ final minute in ref- erence to the case. On Tuesday, December 8, the Presbytery met ac- cording to adjournment and adoptea the report of the committee, which was as loliows THE COMMITTBE'S KKPORT. The committee intrusted with the preparation of the verdict tor the adoption by the Presbytery in the case of we Rey. John 8. Glendenning, agaist whom charges ot unministerial and unchristian conduct have been sus- tained by vote ut the Presbytery, rec 30- jemnity of this duty, and have sought nce of Him who gives wisdom treely without upbraiding. Believing that God loves His church and His min: far better than we cau love either, aad committee have looked apward for that help which alone cantead us to a right- ous and beneficent aecision. The houor and prosperity or the Church depend upon the absolute PURITY OF THE MINISTRY. In order to their continued usetuiness the ordained servants of God mast be above all suspicion or reproach. 4 charge of unministerial conduct, therefore, when it 1s susvainéd on the ground of INCONSISTENCIES AND IMPROPRIETIES which look in the direction of impurity of life possesses a gravity and importance. which no other ¢ possl- biy can, In these respects & bishop must be “blameless, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, and inast have a good report of them which are without.” The Presbytery CANNOT “XPRESS TOO FORCIBLY it# censure of the unministerial conduct of the Rev. Johw 8, Gendenning im his toonsh and injudictous in- iimiey with member of his church, the. Iate Mary . Voueroy, as exhibied in the visits aid sstls presents he gave her, the reli wo her hou by manifesting regard ro y bu ner to express her preferences for him to such a Jegree that THEIR NAMES BECAME ASSOCIATED a8 persons engaged to be married. The Presbytery recy nizes the tact that a plea has been urged in exten- uation of this intimacy on the ground of the religi ignorance of the young lady already named and the sire of her minister to be faithtal 1m his- pastoral oyer- nt und friendship, but the Presbytery has not so learned the duties or the pastoral ofiice a8 to give uny other than A MOST SEVERE CONDEMNATION to visits and ‘presents and intimac; stich as these. With the utmost sadness of heart that such should rest upon one of its members, the Presbytery hereby administers its solemn censure to the Rev. John po md for his unministerial and anchristian conduct. ‘And ‘inasmuch as the church over which the Rev. John 8, Glendenning has beea placed by the Presbytery has alreaay SUFFERED GREATLY from the disturbing influences incident ti this case and is etill suffering, and the Presbyt-ry believes that only contusion, strire and ultimate ruin will resnit trom the continuance of the Kev, John 8. Glendenning as pastor of the Prospect avenue church, and moreover, since 30 large a. minority of the Presbytery voted to sistaln the grave charges of the accusation, which vote has A GREAT MORAL WEIGHT” as an element of the vote which supported the only spe- sification sustamed, viz., that of unministerial and un- christian conduct; under those circumstances it is un- wise that the Rev. John & Glendenning should continue to act as pastor.of the Prospect avenue church, and. the Presbytery in the exercise of that Ly ye to It ror the welfare of the churches and the glory of God's most boly ame deems it right to dissolve ‘this pastoral relation; therefore be it resolved 1, THAT THe PASTORAL RELATION Existing Between tie Rev.

H. WATERBURY, Jensny Ory, Deo. 8, 1874. Aitor the delivery of this judgment Mr. Glenden- ulng was calied into the meeting of the Pres- bytery and, the judgment having been announced he Was asked Wat he had to say. He looked around and finding that neither 01 lis counsel was present, he contented himself by saying he would make use of tne ten days allowed py tne Book of Discipline by lodging AN APPRAL TO THE SYNOD. He appeared quite atsappointed, ds did some of nis iriends inthe Presbytery, It wos somewhat remarkable that while neither of bia Counsel was present the committee for the prosecuwon, vrs. imbrie and Dod, were in attendance. A LIVELY SCENE occurred at the close of the proceedings. Rev. Mr. Paalison approachea Mr. Glendenning and ex- horted him to speedy repentance, reminding him that, no matter how great the fail, te who turns his heart to Christ would not be cast away. To this Mr, Giendenning replied warmly that such an advice Was hot needed, as he would have confessed in the first instance it he felt conscious of guilt. “Then,” said Mr. Pauiison, “if you be not guilty ‘oo are the viotim or the 1oulest conspiracy ever nown.’’ “Now you've struck it,” retorted the Rev. Mr, Moore, Who has stood by Mr. Glenden- ning to all bis troubles, in conversation Witn several members of tho NEw YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1874.—TR Presbytery at the close of the ngs be HERALD representative elicited iow, "the mission from & clergyman :—“It it were left. clerical votes of the Presbytery he WOULD HAVE BEEN CONVIOTED. , The HERALD was Stralep ioe ward and very fair @. nt of the case, although tn Slong in ts judgme: Seerot asssion they made an awfu! time over the question as to how the HERALD obtained the re- port of the debate while the doors were guarded.” “But how about the majority the other way 1’ weried the reporter. ‘Well,” was the reply, “of that vove twelve who voted in Mr. Gleadenning’s favor simply gave bim the benefit of the doubt.” ‘That ended the conversation. THE NEWARK TRIAL. A i aa i Closing Arguments of Counse!l— Vigorous Arraignment of Oficial Corruption- ists—The Judge's Charge—The Jury still Out. Yesterday was tne fourth and last day of the trial of Alderman William Stainsby and ex-Com- missioner Joseph ©. Young for alieged conspiracy to defraud the city in the matter of certain street openings. At the opening of the Court, and while Cortlandt Parker was summing up for the defence, the attendance was slender, but in the afternoon the benches filled up and.deep interest was mani- fested in the arguments and the Judge’s charge. 4n behalf of the aefence Mr, Parker said he was unable to see in the traverse of tne whole case that there was any legal ur moral gulit. or indeli- cacy even in the conduct of the accused. In re- gard to the evidence which the prosecution de- sired to introduce, and which the defence tried to prevent being introduced, Mr. Parker said he was glad it had come out, because he wanted a verdict for his vhent which would not only acquit them, but would stop the calumny against them, if it could be stopped. He differed from Mr. Guiid, his associ- ate, in regard to the Grand Jury system, and re- garded it as much better that it was painted. Mr. Parker went on at considerable length im an an- alysis of the law bearing on the case and tne evi- dence and concinded by declaring to the jury that there was 00 evidence to show that the city was defrauded out of a single dollar, nor was there any evidence to show that the Commissioners knew of the prices obtained for other lands in the vicinity of those purchased by Stainsby’s nephew. After half an hour’s recess the court re-assem- bled and Colonel Aneel proceeded with his argu- ment for the State. argued that while tne accused were indicted for conspiracy, their offence was really for an anlawiul pee caient. Conspiracy was defined and authorities were Cited to substantiate counsel’s argument that the accused were guilty of tue offence charged. He | describea the connection between Stainsby ana Young. Stamsby wasn @ position a8 cbaliman | of the Street Committee of Council to chop of Young’s official head at & mo- ment’s notice. Young held his office, which brought him $10,000 a year at the beck of Stainsby, and was there no motive for Young to put bargains in the way Oo! Stainsby, through his nephew Taylor? le said the evidence showed that while land was bought for $450 a lot the Coin- missioners admitted awarding $800 per lot, and he cited cases where $1,200 per lot had been awarded. He showed how that Taylor mvested $1,200, and in a minute, by a turn of toe wrist, he made nearly $3,000. by the ail-pervading induence of his uncle. "No wonder Taylor had gone Into real | estate transactions.. William Young made the maps, his brother John the deeds, and Joe, tue father, made the report. Colonel Abeel at this joint deciared he didn’t believe a greater | len of corruption existed in the city an in the Commissioners! office at the guy, Hall, He believed they snould all be indicted. The prose- cutor closed with ® poWerful arraignment of the whole system of corruption which had gridironed the cities with streets, to the profit of the con- spfrators, declaring that the case on trial was Only one Of an endless series of irauda. THE OOURT CHARGED the jury impartially, and-they retired about three o’clock. They were still out.up to late last even- wie wit every prospect of remaining out all s THE BROOKLYN BOND ROBBERY. —_—_——_ Rearrest of Rudolph Kessler in Michi- gan and His Return to Raymond Street Jail. About two o'clock yesterday afternoon Detec- tives Oorwin and Folk walked into the Brooklyn Police Headquarters, having in custody one Ru- | dolph Kessler, who ts charged with stealing a large’ amount of city bonds from Comptroller Schroeder’s office, and who left Brooklyn sud- | denly after bis arrest on the charge in the fall of | 1873, Since that time Mr. Kessler has ‘visited Buffalo, Chicago and other cities, ostensibly for the good of his health, bat really, as it is satd, to keep out of the way of the Brooklyn police. The detectives have been on the look out for him since 1873, and found him on Sunday the city of Flint, Genessee attohigani where he kept a lager (is wife and children have been stopping at Ilion, N.

Ze retui also, aod in a few @ pac! 0 twelve 1,000 fark onda was received at the Comp. trolier’s office. The bonds were mailed at Albany and came through the Post Office. Mr. Franks was not arrested. It is known that $18,000 worth of bonds have been taken, and possibly more. There are several still missing, and now that Kessier has been rearrested an effort will be made to get them. Mr. Kessler ‘was taken into the office of the superintendent of Police, but refused to talk on the subject of the robbery until he saw his coonsel, Mr. Keady, The latter was sent lor, and after a short consuita- tion Kessler was taken over to the District Attor- ney’s office, where Judge Pratt signed a commit- ment, and he was taken down to the King’s County Jail to awalt an examination. While in tne District Attorney’s office Kessler was accosted an inquisitive reporter, but Mr. Keady advised him not to say a word and he dia not, Patrick Duane, & contractor. and Mr. Christman, a furni- ture dealer, became Keasler’s. bondsmen at the time of his frat arrest, and since paid the Jorielted bond, $5,000, AFPRAY BETWEEN WATOHMEN, A @4ge of Justifiable Homicide—Dis- Qtr charge of the Prisoner. Coroner Bickhoff yesterday held an inquest in | the case of Henry Brown, late a private watchman on pier No. 2 North River, who ts alleged to have been fatally beaten early on Thanksgiving morning on plier No. 2 North River, by a club in the hands of Patrick Mahony, also a private watchman, The testimony showed that Brown, while under the influence of liquor, made @ savage and unprovoked | assault upon Mahony with his club, and it was not till after three distinct threats with pistol in bana Brown made to take the life of Mahony that the latter drew his club and dealt his assailant a blow on the head, which caused his death, Jonn Higgins, a sailor, heard there was a fight on the pier, and saw deceased with a pistol in bis | hand, and heard him threaten to take prisoner's life; prisoner told him to go away and behave himself, but deceased advanced on prisoner again with a pistol in bis band, and threatened to kill him; the third time deceased Pah ae to | the head of prisoner and threatened to kill him; | | | aeceased then struck prisoner with his cind, whereupon prisoner struck deceased on the head with mis club and Knockea him down; prisoner had @ cut over bis left eye. William J. Spinton deposed that he saw a man knook prisoner down with @ clab; prisoner got up | and shoved the Man away; deceased pointed » pistol at prisoner, acd said he would gill him; then saw prisouer strike deceased with a club; then went away. George Longford, a watchman, saw deceased strike prisoner several times with his club; de- ceased then drew a pistol and three several times sureatened to shoot prisoner through the head; deceased then pointed # ptstol at the witness, who stood ready with his cli to Knock him down tf he attempted to fire; aiter deceased was Knocked down an officer was caliea; deceased was under the influence of liquor. OMicer Coughn, Of the Twenty-seventh precinct, testified to hearing o1 the fight between the watchmen, and, going there, found Brown lying on bis face; raised bim up, When Manony handed witness @ pistol and said deceased was golug yw shoot him; deceased said Mahony hit him: de- ceased at the station hotse said he did bot want to make a charge aguinst Matony latter made a complaint against Brown, and both were taken to Whe Tombs; deceased then showed signs of illness and was taken }0 the Park Hos- pital; the doctor thought Brown had po fracture of tue skull, but was suffering from 10toXication ; pad Mahony commitied to await the result of the injures. i Marsh, who made a post-mortem examina- tion on the body of deceased, found that death resulted from compression uf the brain from trac- ture of the skall. ‘The case Was then given to the jury. who found | Over thirty cents an how | crease of praise, glory and veneration. at Henry jrown came to ts death by majuries received at the hands of Michael Mah from the vestimony we find that the sald ‘Was justified tn its acts as a matter of self-d as his lie was in danger.” Coroner Eickhof thereupon discharged Mahony from custody, and everybody present, except Mrs. brown, seemed satisfied with the resuit. THE 'LONGSHOREMEN. Membex.* Of the Union Renounce It and | Return © Work—The End Soon at Hand. Popuiar interes," @ the "longshoremen’s strike has greatly dimtnis,’¢4 since it has become maont- fest that tne steamsn.'P Men's combination could not be broken up by phe union, The public at | large now consider thas fire contest has been de- cided, and that this conflict. cetweem capital and labor will soon be numbered @mong th? things of the past. The unfon men are keeping rentarkably quiet, Duriog the first week of the lockout West and Tenth streets were cuntinually thronged wih ‘longshoremen, but now nobody could tell frosw the appearance of tue streets that there was Still a strike going on. This was notanty the case yesterday, when both these streets were as quict &8 possible, and even the-police had vanished. One of the severest blows which the union bas bad to bear it received yesterday, Some sixty or seventy members of the union gave up their union badges and went to work for Waish Brothers, the stevedores whom the union eudeayored to crush, They said that they could not stay idle any longer, as the union had only given them $5 per week each during three weeks of enforced idleness, 2 5m which Was utterly tmadequate for their own support or that of their families. Walsh Brothers gave these men places on their promise never again to join the union; but others wlio offered their services suosequently did not meet with the same reception, as their places were al- reacy fillea by g nou-society men, It will thus’be sten that the first blow has been struck at the future existence of the Longshore- men’s Union, and, in the light of this event of yes- terday, the determination of the steamship men to break it up does not seem to be based on ex- travagant expectations. Several uniun men complained yesterday to the representative of this journal ‘that their families were in actual waot, aud that. they should have to return to work on the new ter’: if the union would not support them adequately, These men hinted that they would renounce allegiance to the society rather than see their 1amilies, suffer in the fu- tore, THE STEAMSHIPS ON TIME, The Engiand, Captain Willie H.

In the churches of this city yesterday the feast Was kept by the celebration of three masses in each church, between the hoars ot five o’clock A. M.-and eleven, o’clock,A. M. The services were particularly attractive in St. Patrick's Cathedral, Su. Teresa's, St Ann’s, and in tue Domuican, Redemptorist, Paulist, nciscun and Benedict- ine churches. At the Cathedral there was a His | grand pontifical high mars, at which the Most | Rev. Archbishop McCloskey presided. The Rev. John Kane was the celebrant, Rev. Fathers far- relly and Salter acting ag deacon and subdeacon, with the Rev. oer Kearney a8 master of cere- monies, The church was crowded in every part, all. standing room in the aisles and entrance being occupied. ; The Rev. Fatoer A. Damen, the veteran Jesuit missionary, who has veen giving a mission in the Cathedral during the past two weeks, preached on the “Virtues of the Blessed Virgin ay the Mother of God,” alluding in particular to the unportauce of the festival. irom that passage in Ss.

Hence her exemption trom all stain of sin. After the failot Eve in the Garden of Eden God wid her,’ as of record in the Old Testament, “enmity shall be put between tuee and them, for @ virgin shall be bora wuo shall crash the head of the serpent.” This was Mary, the virgin mother of God—the mother of Jesus, the only Son of God— the spouse of the Holy Ghost, the third person of the biessed Trinity, In reciting the creed do we not say:—‘‘I believe in Jesus Christ, tne only Son of God, conceived of the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary.” What Catholic, what Christian man, wito reason or intelligence, can re- vite those words in faith and deny that Mary was the mother of God?

The Archbishop administered confirmation to a large number of adults at three o’ciock P. M., and made some appropriate remarks alter the ceremony. THE PROTESTANT EPISOOPAL HOUSE OF TRE GOOD SHEPHERD. This institution, located at Tompkins Cove, Rockiand county, N. Y,, and under the care and patronage of the Protestant Episcopal Church, is in debt $10,000. About half this sum is pledged by iriends who desire to set it on a safe basis, Two weeks ago a meeting of its iriends and patrons was held, but the attendance was smail and an adjournment until yesterday was the re- suit, But the hour, two P, M., was unfavorable jor @ large gathering, and the engagements ot chureh people generaily at this season was against the enterprise, and the meeting in Trinity chapel echoul yesterday was, therefore, small. The Rev. E, Gay, Jr., the Rev. J. B, Gibson, of Sing Sting; the Rev, R.S. Mansfeld, of Spring Valley, N. Y., and a few other gentlemen and some ladies were present, Mr, Gay resides at the house and 19 president of the institution, Mr. Mansfeld is is secretary. From remarks made and reports pre- seuted it appeared that the institution had tts Origin in 1866, but Was DOL incorporated until 1870; that It i designed to aiford # home in the country tor orphau and destitute children 01 both sexes, who are trained to Jarm work and fitted lor serv- jee and trades. The “House” consists of four cottages, attached to Wuica are ninety acres of land fronting oo the Hudson River, but 160 leet above It, and very eligtbie, as the managers say, lor country sites.

The only salaries paid in the House o1 the Good Shepherd are paid to the teacher and assistant and to the servants. The whole amount thus paid will not exceed $200 a year. Many of the children are wails gathered off the streets of New York by kind and interested friends. A few are orphans from towns in tne vi- cinity of the tostitation. Since tne last meeting the treasurer bas received $1,000, but $800 ts ab- soimtely needed withia the next ten days. There are 100 applications for admission, which the man- agers cannot receive because they nave not the money necessary, and they don’t want a floating devt hauging over them. It was intended yester- a had the meeting been larger, to have pro- vided jor the balance of the mortgage debt and tor the applications now beiore the ard of Man- agers. But ior the reasons assigned the meeting was small, and the Rev. Mr. Mansfield and Dr. Gatiaudet were appointed & comsnittee to arrange Jor & neeting in January, pfter the holidars. WALL STREET WONDERS. Pacific Mat] Meeting—Mariposa Mining and Quicksilver Quarrels—Thé .Presi- dent's Message. Yesterday in Wall street the broxers were OY in discussing the President’s Message, the Paet? Mati quarrel, the Mariposa Mining muddle and the Quicksilver quarrel, In regard to the recommen- | dations of the Executive the opinion of financtal men generally seemed to be that, however desira- ble the return to SPRCIR PAYMENTS might be, the means proposed to that end were totally inadequate and impracticable. It was gen- erally conceded that further inflation of the cur- rency would be unwise and dangerous, but ex- actly how the millions of “bills payabie” of the nation were to be met was a problem that puzzled Wall street. The wrangle in Pacific Mail aasumed something Of the ludicrous. The directors of that company in thetr meeting in the afternoon voted to con- tinue Mr, Hatch as Managing Director and con- titted him the executive officer of their board. When the HERALD representative visited the offices, No. 52 Wall street, he was informed that the report of the condition of the company would soon be given to tue public—after passing througn the Auditing Committee’s nands~—and that it would show that the recent statements of its Mabilities had been grossly exaggeratea for stock Jobbing purposes.

COMMISSIONERS OF ACOUUNTS REINSTATED, Explanatory Letter from Mayor Vance— His Reasons for the Change. Mayor Vance has removed the Commissioners of Accounts, Messrs. Ezra M, Kingsley and Jono F, Joy, and reinstated the Jormer incumbents, Messrs. Lindsay 1, Howe and George Bowlena. This action was the cause of considerable discus- sion yesterday around the City Hall. Surmises | Were set atrest by tue following manly explana- tory letter of Mayor Vance last evening :-— Kxxcuttve Derartasnt, City Hat, New York, Dec. 8, 1874. As authorized by section 106 of chapter 835 of the Laws ct 1873, { hereby appoint Lindsay John #. Joy and Ezra M. Kingslev, who are hereby re- moved. SAMUEL B, H. VANCE. Mayor. Jn removing Mr. Joy and Mr. Kingsley from the posi- tion of Commissioners of Accounts, to which they were appointed by the late Mayor, and restoring to this posi- ton, as Lnave done to-day, Mr, Howe and Mr. Bowlend, 1 Wish to place on the records of uals office the following explanation: — 40 Mr. Joy and Mr, Kingsley I have no objection, and in removing them I do not intend to reflect Seely: upon them or their actions while an oitice. Neither do intend to refleet on the action of my predecessor in ap- pointing them. It is well known that when Mr. Howe was removed from office he was in the course of investigating some ot the departments of the city—these investigations having been entered upon at the special request of the Board of Aldermen. Ay President of that Board, while pre- Vious investigations of @ like character’ were being prosecuted by Mr. Howe, I was, upon several occa- | sions, consulied by him ‘in reference thereto, and was thus afforded an opportuaity of judging of the abilit geal with which he discharged his duties, aud the im- partial manner in which he dealt with the Various mat- ters he was required to pass upon. I am satisiied that had the jute Mayor possessed the information in reier- ence to Mr. Howe which was thus obtained by me. he would have hesitated before removing him trom office without comp.aint, or at least until he had completed the duties required of him by the Board of Aldermen. Tn view of these facts I consider it my duty, acting in the interest of the public, to see that the Investizations entered upon, as I have explained, be complete have accordingly restored Mr. Howe and in order that this may be accomplished. in making these a 1 do notin any way anticipate the act The office of n\ ir. Bowlend pointment ‘of my successor. counts ty neld at the pleasure ot the Mayor tor the time being. Were it otherwise, even with the strong reasons already stated, I would not, under, tue circumstances upon which J entered on the office of Mayor, and considering the short period I am called upon to serve. have made ch Eas ‘without consulting With my successor on the subject. SAMUEL B. H. VANCE, Mayor. MUNICIPAL NOTES, Eight directors are to be appointed in this city derstood those appointments will not be made jor a lew days. Among the callers yesterday upon Mayor Vance were Colonel De Kay, private secretary of Gov- | ernor Dix; General Husted, Colonel “Tom” Dun- lap, Jackson S, schultz and Thomas C. Acton, The | attendance of the latter two gentlemen is always an occasion for suru Politicians say they ure engaged in hatching a conspiracy. Representa- tives of the Custom House party, their visite take the form of Some ‘‘littie game” in the wind, Mayor Vance, however, still stands to his guus and can- not be entrapped into any party or Joolish project even if in the interest of his party, So his iriends assert. Mayor-elect Wickham will visit the annexed dis- trict of Westchester county to-day, for tue pur- pose of examiping Into oficial details of that vicinity for his forthcoming Message. This docu- menv is to be submitted to the new Board of Al- dermen at their first meeting, in January next. The rule recently establisued by judges of the Marine Court compelling lawyers give all pro- cess issued under such jarisdiction to tne Soeriit nas increased toe patronage oi that office greatly. Hitherto the Marshals were entitied to this emolu. ment, but the powers thut govern have willed it otherwise, and those gentlemen must now “step down and out.” ‘The rings of office-seekers, counted by hundreds, daily Ml) the balis of the new Court House. Their adventis at band. Mayor Wickham and Tammany Hiall come into power on the Lat of Janaary, THE HUDSON RIVER TUNNEL. ‘The recent attempt by legal measures to frus- trate the operations of the men engaged in con- structing the Hudson River tunnel irom Jersey City, at Fifteenth street, to New York seems to nave had little effect. A shed, fifty by seventy-five jeet, has been erected over the shalt, which the men are engaged in sinking, A novel feature in engineering is, that instead of commencing to baild at the bowtom the process is reversed. The work of laying brick, which commenced yester- day, Was begun at the top, and the timver foundation which will support the wall sinks as the men clear the way below. The excavation, wwe hoisting of material and the pumping of the water are ail periormed by macoiuery. The con- tractor feels confluent that he can sink the wail Six feet per day, and that the soil is (avoraple for nis Operpligna 0 by Mayor Vance Jor the Brooklyn Bridge. itis un- | 98@ IPLE SHEET, RY MARRIAGES AND DEATHS.
