N.-Rubenstein used when he made reference to what might have happened Sara, (Counsel for prisoner here directed the witness to | write the precise words used in the Jewish language in | order that it may be submitted to an interpreter for translation, The'witness wrote as desired ona élip of paper.) Witness continued that the prisoner told him about the “loafers having taken her to the country and killed | her” when they were walking together in the vicin. ity of Bayard and Canal streets; the remark was made | when P, N. Rubenstein handed him the written adver- tisément for Sara; he said, ‘Some loafers may have dragged your sister off in some country place and killed her; witness knew Nethman Harris, who is his uncle; had talked with him about Sara; did not take a Jewish oath before him.

Such evidence would be an impeachment of the witness and ‘8 violation of the principles of evidence. The Court said that the questions had ¢rawn. Witness, in continuing, said:—About the dream he could not remember whether his brother had told him about it or not; did not understand what the Coroner had told him the second time. The District Attorney here handed the witness the testimony taken before the Coroner on the dream, and asked him to read it. The witness did so, and handing it back said:—‘l can’t remember anything about it; don’t know where I read it, or in what paper; don't know whether there wus anything in the New York papers about the killing of Miss Alexander,” “Well, you may go; Idon’t wavt anything from you,” said the District Attorney, evidently annoyed at the manner of the incorrigible witness. John Smith, interpreter, then read the following ad- ‘YVertisement, which the prisoner wrote on Monday, December 13, and gave to J. L.

What the Police Found ‘in a Woodhouse An Inquest on the Muti- lated Remains. VERDICT OF THE JURY. The excitement in Williamsburg, which has grown With the various developments of the case, found vent on Wednesday evening in the various places of resort in the Fourteenth ward in well defined threats of lynching, at some time during yesterday, either before or after the Coroner's inquest, and so well did Coroner Nolan know this that, after consultation with Chief of Police Campbell, it was decided to hold the inquest in the Coroner's office in the County Court House, but not to acquaint any one with the fact until the time set for the inquest had arrived and the jury and witnesses were assembled af the place appointed. Meanwhile, to discover if there was any possibility of some of Simmons’ clothing being stowed away on the premises No. 98 North Third street, Detectives Short and Holland went there and tore up flooring and wainscoting, but without finding any- thing. During their labors they were informed that Fuchs, occupied a portion of the cellar of the front house as a coal and wood bin, and thia they at once thoroughly investigated, finding in the darkest corner on the foundation wall, between two of the rafters or floor beams a human heart and liver. These, wrapped in paper, were conveyed to the Fifth precinct station house, and the Coroner notified, This discovery soon became bruited around, and fanned the excitement so the inquest Captain Woglom found it necessary to send his reserve to the Court House to keep the gathering crowd in order, At two o'clock several hundred people surrounded the Court House, while inside the jury, reporters, wit- nesses and police comfortably packed the small court room, all eagerly awaiting the arrival of the murderer and the Coroner, Outside the mob looked at every carriage approaching, first cheering-and then, finding it did not contain Fuchs, jeering as it passed. Thero were fully 600 people in the immediate front of the Court House when two large six-horse stages drove up to the Court House, Coroner Nolan then came into the room and said;— . GENTLEMEN OF THE JuRY—I have to announce that for considerations of pable import unnecessury to now State, this inquest will be adjourned to the Coroner's office in the County Court House. This action was ne essary to the public ‘and, two six-horse stages having been offered, yhose duty require them to be present at the inquiry will be conveyed to the Court House as speedily as possible. The room was then cleared of spectators, and after the police had cleared # pathway to the conveyances, those entitled to their use marched out and rode off amid the jeers of the assembied crowd, The cortége attractea considerable attention as it passed em route to the Court House, There was a large crowd around the Jail, but they had also been ontwitted, Kretz having been taken to the Court House some hours before the time named. ‘The Coroner's office was placed in the hands of a sec- tion of police under Captain Smith, who kept every one out until the rush commenced from the stages, and when they were all inside the doors were closed, and for some time not even reporters could obtain admit- tance. All the jurors were present, and Fuchs having been brought {rom the private room the inquest com- menced by summoning Mrs. Howell, Krevz’s landlady, to the stand, Kretz seemed terribly downcast, having lost all his spirit of bravado, and during the entire session seemed on the verge of crying, his eyes having a peculiar look that gave him a piieous appearance, THE TESTIMONY, Mrs. Ann E. Howell, being sworn, deposed that she resided at No. 98 North Third street, in the front house. Witness stated that she felt sick since she had seen the prisoner in the adjoining room, but on the assurance of the Coroner that he would not detain her Jong she proceeded with her testimony. She said:—I know Fuchs; he has been a tenant of mine for four | months; I did not know Simmons; Fuchs drank, but I | have never seen him drank; nothing unusual passed | to my own knowledge, but on Friday last my son saw | him throwing out sand and ‘dirt into the yard; I went and asked him why he did it; he said that in conse- quence of mice he had enlarged the hearth; he had taken up a portion of the wooden floor and Substituted bricks therefor; he did not seem excited, but he jumped on the floor and said, “Me fix that all right; 1 saw nothing unasual around the house; his wife was at the time lying on a lounge in the room; I cannot say that he and his wife lived happily together, but I never heard them quarrel; I did not see them on Saturday until the evening, when he came and knocked at my door about eight o'clock, and, coming in, hapded me $5 for rent; he said that he and his wife had been up on Grand street and bought some meat, and, run- ning out, came back ina minute with a large pig's head, which he said “Me eat it on Sunday mit cabbage and pint of good beer;” be had never done anything of the kind before, and I coula not think frequently stopped there before, but did not know the man’s natne; stopped there about a quarter of an hour, | reading a paper; alter passing the man and girl | I went straight home; there is a house right across | from the place where 1 met the man and woman; [ asked ‘the man where he was going this time in the | evening, and he told me to get a place for his cousin; I | told him, so late in the evening you don’t look tora | place, and I told the gir! to depend upon me and I | would get her a place, and I asked her to give me her | address; ehe said, “If you will be kind enough, you | Will come to No, 30 Eesex street, up three flights of Btairs ;”? she did not say “DBAR, GOOD MAN,” they then went on; 1 thought I would see where they would go; I turned round and saw the man getting over a fence; when I walked back 100 paces I heard those cries, “Fire! fire!” ‘Help! help!’ then I | went home; I didn’t say before that I walked straight home; I can swear by God im heaven that I walked back 100 paces; I stood far enough away so that I could bear eh ts talisoing; wea 8 geod distance off after speak- ing to tem nen I turned back to see where they web 6 tollgate was between me and the man when 1 saw hum getting over the fence; I did hot go back at all (Mr. Britton remarked that the witness meant going back toward East New York); 1 did not hear the expression “my life i= gone;’’ I did not see the man after he got over the fence, nor did I see the woman; the man walked over toward the corn fleld, andi then | walked away about my business; 1 got 100 paces away when I saw the man | get over the fence; I was scared about getting | ieked; you are. not very safe in that part | | of the country; if they get anybody out there at night they give them a licking; I ama pretty nervous Kind of Aman; 1 Saw the man getting over ,the fence before I heard the noise; I got home about seven o'clock that evening; thought some harm was being done to her, Dut did not think she was béing murdered; I didn’t go into any house to tell them, as the people were all asleep; I was scared to go back alone; if I had had some one with me I would have gone back; had I meta man I would have gone back again, Q Why didn’t you tell your wife about it? A. She don’t know anything about these things (laughter); I | didn’t tell anybody on Monday; the noise was ail’in my head; I dia not say anything to anybody about it before Saturday, January 7; I will swear before God and the synagogue; I did not mention it when saw the body Tn the corh field because I was @ poor man, and 1 had to go and got money for my rent and to make my living; tt was on last Friday that! saw Rubenstein at the jail. At twenty minules before four o'clock the Court ad- Jjourned till ten o'clock this morning, 18 RUBENSTEIN MEDITATING SUICIDE? It fs said that extra precautions are deemed neces- sary to guard against Rubenstein doing away with himself at the Raymond Street Jail. He has been closely watched by bis keepers. During the past sixty | hours he has partaken of only afew ounces of food. His friends have been observed in all their movements | while visiting him, He is greatly “debilitated, and low diet principle he will not be a burden to the | court. Tonics have been prescribed him, but itis a | very difficult matter to make him eat A BOLD BURGLARY. About two o'clock yesterday morning one of the boldest outrages that has occurred in New York for some time was perpetrated at No, 27 Union square, On the second floor back of that number lives Miss Mar- garet J. Lyons, who occupies the upper portion of the house as a millinery establishment, and in her apart- ments the burglary was committed, At the hour be- fore mentioned there appeared in the room of Miss Lyons two young men, who, noticing that their entry had aroused Miss Lyons, proceeded forthwith to gag and bind her, Before they had succeded in arresting her voice, Miss Lyons screamed aloud for help and her cries woke the lady living on the foor above in the front room. After ber first call for help bne of the men ut his knee against ber chest aud hie hand upon Ber throat, thus stifing further outcry. While one of the ruflans held Mis# Lyons, the other went through her bat drawers and st & gold wateh, a wet of jewelry a few trinkets, 1} to the value $250. While ‘of the men was attempting to bind Miss Lyons’ hands she made another oatery und at- tracted the attention of a gentleman occupying the front room, who immediately opened the window and called “Police!” The police arrived in about three minutes and then should he persist for a few days longer in his present | Temained for some minutes without making a search of why he should do such a thing; nothing un- usual occurred on Sunday when the officers came; I did not suspect then that he had committed the murder until little Ella ran out crying, “They will hang papa aud mamma;” I took her in my room and asked her shat for, and she said, “Oh, Simmy, Siminy!” I then went in'and asked Mrs, Fuchs what was the mater, and she said she did not know; at this moment the officer found the remaias in the washboiier, and he told me to go out in the yard as the smell would make me sick; I then retired as Ella said “My papa did it,” she also’ said that she saw her father do it, but this was in response to a question trom the oflicer. Wilhs Jones, No, 195 South Third street, one of the firm for whom both men worked, was the next wit- bess, his testimony being:—lam a manufacturer of carriage axles and springs, and also do general foundry work; was acquainted with deceased, who was in my employ three years; when he worked full time he | earned at his trip hammer from $30 to $35 per week; his genera} character, as far as I knew him, was that of a Very industrious, respectable man, and one 1 never saw under the influence of liquor; he was fifty-iour or fifty-five years of age'and had a family of five chil- dren, Whom he seemed to think a great deal of; when he lost bis son he seemed to take it greatly to beart; the son was about eighteen years of age; he was in the habit of sending home money every Monday, but of late he bad not sent much, because of the expense at- tending a patent axle he was getting out; J know the prisoner, and know him by the oame of Fuchs. When this statement was made the prisoner said, “It is Fuchs,” pronou: ing it Fox, Mr, Jones continued— Mr. Simmons employed this man himself about two years ago; he worked one year and, then, on account Of some misunderstanding, he left’ and went to New | York to work; he returned to our place about four weeks ago; he lived in that neighborhood all the time, but he had not been at work with Simmons during the past year; no trouble occurred between the firm and Simmons, but a short time ago we made a change from $5 per diem to so much per piece; he hesitated about going to work in that way, but finally concluded to do it; Fuchs was not at work with him at that time, that I remember; 1 used to see him und the neighborbood once ina while, and do not know that he was aware of the difference in the matter of pay between Simmons and the firm; he paid Fuchs $10 per week for his share of the work,’ and bis $30 and $35 per week was independent of the inoncy paid his helper; I never saw anything out of the way with Fucha, and never heard any of the men say anything about bis being ugly, and always thought him a peace- able man; I never know of any trouble between him and Simmons, the latter of whom I saw on Thursday last at four o'clock in the afternoon; the breaking of the large shears prevented him from working for two days; Fuchs worked haifa day on Wednesday at some repairs around the shop; | first heard be was missing ou Saturday morn. ing, when Fuchs came to me at half-past seven A. M,, and said, “No Mr. Simmons 1 did not notice anything unusual tn | | few minutes later Mr. Beck notified had not been nomo since Thursday Mr. Beck seemed troubled, as he said ne was he had been drowned, so he had telegrapied to of him; at balf-past four } night; | atraid | all police stations for trace: in the afternoon, hearing that a man’s head had been found in Greenpoint I sent Mr, O'Connell to see tf it was that of Simmons; he returned tn about thirty min- utes and said, “Sure enough, it is Simmons’ head;” Mr. Beck id that on Friday morning Fuchs called there for Simmons to hurry up, as there was “plenty work ;’’ Fuchs at station house on Saturday morn. ing seemed to make very light of it and | did not fora moment attach him with the crime; I did not see him again until Monday, when I saw him in Raymond Street Jail and told him he was abad man; he replied, “Oh, no; it’s all right; I see him with my woman, and cus his damned head off; I'd do it again.’ He then, in re- sponse to a question, stated that the balance of the re ns wore out in the swamp on North Second stree! where he had carried them and buried them; whei went and reported this to Captain Woglom the latter | said he thought Fuchs was lying, but said if we would pay for a carr he wo get Fuchs and go out and see what thtre was in it, and I believe Captain Wog- Jom, Detective Short and others went out and found ‘he hips and other missing portions of the body; I ac- companied Simmons’ remains to their last resting an Brainerd—Fuchs was around two or on Friday and Saturday; on Syertay he 4, “No Simmons—me no mon #01 told him 1 did not know how much Simmons owed him, but I would give him two or three dollars to last him over to Monday; atew minates afver this occurred we heard of the discovery of the head. MR BECK VIDENCR George H. Beck, residing on the corner of North First and Fourth streets, in whose house Simmons boarded, testified that Simmons lived there since last the pis, the omission givii burglars, who were Hi ih the house, an opportumity to escape by the trout ° ov July; 1 last saw Simmons alive at the supper table on Thursday, but J beard bim go out of ‘we house at ning that even before the time set for the commencement of | Oorwes; on rr morning Fuchs came to my house and asked if Mr. Simmons was th I io; on Friday ed and on Saturday morning be came and Fave} that he was not there, saying, want my money;”’ I told him to 0 to Mr. ‘Jones; I knew that be was Mr. Simmons’ elper; 80 I went to the station house and had them telegraph to all stations for news of Simmons. About four o’clock, after I reported that Simmons was missing, Mr. Hallberg. who had heard of it, came to me and said he had his likeness, which took to ouse, and the set said, “That com- ee @ bead found at Greenpoint; later, the ead being recognized, the police took all Simmons’ effects aud removed them to-the station house, To jurymen—Mr. Simmons was very seldom in the habit of staying out late at night, and always notified us when he intended to do so; on Thursday night be did not say anythin, Inspector Geo! +9 Waddy then testified:—At three o'clock on Saturday I heard a head had been found at Greenpoint; I was instructed to take charge of the aflair by Chief Campbell, and proceeded to Greenpoint, where the head was identified a short time after I got there. The Inspector then proceeded with his account of the work preceding the arrest of Fuchs on Sunday afternoon; when the officer returned with Fuchs the Inspector said he took him into Captain Woglom’s pri- vate room and examined bis clothes, noticing that his left hand was bleeding, from which he attempted to daub himself with blood; the 4 4 of his pants was bloody, as though scraped with a knife; when he found I noticed that he broke out in such a ration that it trickled off the end of his nose; I then charged him with the crime, and he stopped talking at once, and, terribly agitated, turned pale and could scarcely stand ou his feet; then I knew I had the right man, especially when a detective reported a few minutes later that he had found some meat that he would like to havea doctor examine. The Inspector next related in detail the particulars of tho arrest of the woman and child, and what they said when at the station, all of which has already appeared in the columus of, the Hana, The only additional point being that Fuchs told his wife on Friday that if she or ber daughter ever told he would treat them the way he had treated Simmona, Dr. Samuel J. Brady, Nu. 146 Fourth street, testified that he was a practising physician, and had heard on Saturday afternoon that a head had been discovered at Greenpoint; on Sunday, about twelve o'clock, I had oc- casion to Visit a patient in Greenpoint and saw a crowd on the corner of Milton and West streets; I got out and looked around the place, talking with every one who was willing to converse with me, and by this means found two men who had seen a man leaving the pile of logs. Witness then detaiied his action in in- forming the detectives that Fuchs was seen at the pile of Tumber and then drove home. The information thus furnished by witness led to the arrest of the murderer. Detective Marun Short testified that, acting on the information obtained from Dr. Brady, we proceeded to Fuchs’ house, 98 North Third street, and asked him if he had heard from Simmons; he replied, “No,” and then told his wife tu take a pan of meat off the stove as it smelt bad, which she did, putting it in the closet; we then reported the particulars to Captain Woglom, Corwin having noticed a spot of blood on Fuchs’ ‘clothes; after consultation we were ordered to make the arrest, and did so and, in company with Detectives Corwin, Folk and Holland, searched the house, finding the remains and the im- plements with which the butchery was accom- plished. Witness also described the vist of the prisoner (Fuchs) to the swamp on Metropolitan avenu where portions of the remains which he had dumpe: from a basket had previously been found by Heraup reporters. The witness added:—About eleven this A. M. Detective Holland and myself went to Fuchs’ house to make another search, and in the foundation wall, between two beams, in the cellar of the front house, we found a human heart and hver, which we took to the station house. The Coroner then called for an interpreter, and a German stepped forward and was sworn, but as sev- eral of the jury were Germans they rejected him, as he interpreted just the contrary of what the Coroner said, Mr. Alexander Nova was then asked to interpret, but he being a French scholar, Kretz refused to talk in that language. Dr. Wallner, a reporter, was then sworn, and for a moment Kretz was anxious to tell the story of his wife’s infidelity as the excuse for his crime, but being at last made to thoroughly understand that whatever he might say under oath at that time would be used against him on the trial he declined to say anything Tespecting the matter, The jury then notiged the Coroner, through Mr, Henry Suimmersgill, the foreman, that’ they thought they had evidence enough to form a verdict, so Kretz was granted his formal examination, He said his name was Andreas Fuchs, was born in Alsace, lived at No. 98 North Third street, Williamsburg, was a blacksmith, and had nothing to say in regard to the case, Ke signed the paper with afirm hand, and was then remanded to the care of the detectives. THR VERDICT, The jury retired at half-past six P. M., and after an absence of fiftecn minutes returned the following ver- dict :— That William W. Simmons came to his death by blows intlicted on the back of the neck by Andreas Fuchs with some sharp instrument, the exact nature of which is to the jury unknown, on January 27, 1876, in No. 98 North Third street. ‘After Fuchs was examined Detective Corwin slipped the handcuffs on him, and that seemed to break him down and he burst into tears, A moment later he seemed to recover himself and accosted Daniel 0’Con- nel, the foreman of Jones & Henry's axle factory, ask- ing about his money. O'Connell said, ‘How much is coming to you?” Fuchs replied, ‘Three days and a half.” “Well,”’ returned O'Connell, “didn’t Mr, Jones give you $5 on Saturday?” “No, he only gave me $2; if he says he gave me $5 he is a lying son of a b——, Me no have money. Me hang.” A bystander told him to keep up his courage; ‘it might not be 80 bad as that,” “Oh, no,’? he said, “me go up sure,” and retiring within himself, the rs running down his cheeks, he smoked fiercely at @ briar wood pipe he bad liguted the moment the jury retired, When he was removed to a carriage to convey him to jail a crowd followed him, including among their number Boss McLaughlin, who was a8 anxious as any one to see the murderer, THE DEER PARK MYSTERY. BURIAL OF THE VICTIMS. The bodies of Mr. and Mrs, Wright—or what re- mained of them—were yesterday placed In a box and interred in the public ground by the Superintendent of the Poor, and the bodies of Skidmore and Fleet Weeks were taken in charge by Mr.’ Hewlett Weeks, the lat- ter’s brother, and decently buried in a family plot. The third wife of Skidmore, formerly Susan Vail, was present at the burial, as she was also at the Inquest, but took no part in the ceremonies, being apparently indifferent to her husband's tate, and only anxious re- garding her property righta. She sat by tho Coroner during the wholo day on Wednesday, an attentive listener to the testimony, She stated to a reporter that she was housekeeper for Skidmore some two weeks before their marriage, Dut at the time she was engaged to him. She was mar- ried to him on the 18th of April, 1865, and lived with him until February 10, 1866. She then found that she had been deceived in him, that no woman could live with him, and she left, determined to support herself, which she had done ever since, and has had no intercourse with him. She isa woman apparently about fifty years of age, of rather prepossessing appearance. She {8 well known in Babylon, where she was born and has since regided. The deceased Wright, it now appears, was married in March last, in Brooklyn, to the woman Taylor, with whom he became acquainted about eight years ago, at which time he was a member and class leader of the Centenery Methodist Episcopal church, to which she also belonged. Their intimacy at that time became so marked that action-by the churcn was found necessary, and they were publicly denounced from the pulpit and dismissed from the church, Wright then advised her to sue fora divorce from her husband, Taylor, which she did, and the latter, as the easiest method of getting rid of her, took no action to prevent it Through dissipation, ‘however, ‘they finally became so reduced in circumstances that they were forced to go to Skidmore’s for sigplter, he being arelative of Wright's. At the time of the divorce the two daughters of the Taylors were given in charge of the husband, but Mand was subsequently kidnapped by Wright one day while on her way to school The other daughter is with Mr. Taylor's father, somewhere up the North River. Wright was at one time the koeper of a large livery establishment in Brooklyn, and was reputed to be | worth about $100,000, OPPOSITION TO THE HOSPITAL FOR CHRONIC CASES. 8 To sue Evrror or tak Heraup:— As there are two sides to every question and no good project need be afraid of discussion I trust you will print my letter in reference to the proposed new bos- pital for the treatment of chronic cases. Last sum, wr Dr. Hartt asked the writer for his signature to a petition for the organization of the proposed hospital, which was refused for the following reasons:—The term ‘‘chronic cases’’ is one of very vague and in- definite meaning. 1t includes almost every disease to which humanity is liable, from cases of old ulcers and skin diseases which are of years’ standing, cases of chronic bronchitis and rhdumatism which never ges well, to cases of paralysis, injuries of Joints, sprains, &c., which are of jow months’ duration. A large majority of acute diseases are apt to become chronic; 80 it requires a nice discrimination to tell when a diseaso ceases to be acute and becomes chronic. Now, in this city there is no lack of accommodation for chronic oases, There is the Hospital for the Treatment of the Ruptured and Crippled, all chronic cases; the Eye and Kar Infirmary, which treats a large number of chronio cases; St Vincent's Hospital, under the charge of the Sisters, has a large number of cases of consumption, all chronic cases; on Blackwell's Island there is the Hospital for Incurables, such as cases of cancer, &c., bil chronic cases; the Hospital for Eplleptics and Para: ‘tics, chronic cases: in, In fact, in all the hospitals Betas elty you will ‘ud number of the patients cases of chronic disease, des, tho di treat a large number of chronic cases who live at home, It fs an undeniable fact that if a at has a home he has a better chance of recovery in the wards of large hospital, where he is surrounded by diseases and poisons of all kinds, and where the very walls them- selves, saturated with the poisons of Lr and iy sipelas, become the instruments of Later Big tor, I think it is better to strengthen the estab! hospitals, and to make known the accommodations and efficiency, than to engage in any new and visionary hos- pital for the treatment of indefinite casos, 1 re- ip you WILLIAM L.

This was intended for the use of the corn dealers, but a numerously signed petition against the innovation was circulated among the members trading on the first floor, and it is now probable the will reconsider their action and cause the + ” as it has been called, to be removed. The Complaint Committee for February has been chosen, It consists of Messrs, Sawyer, Mascord and MeGee. The following gentlemen applied for member- ship to the Exchange, and yesterday their spoleanane were formally approved:—Messrs. Charles M, Baldwin, Black, Arthur Buel, Andrew Harman, Jr, F. §, Hastings, Frederick Preston, Emuli Pritchard, James M. Rowan, George B. Schultz, George B. Whiting and E. H. Wootton. THE COTTON EXCHANGE. Mr. Joseph Yeoman was appointed yesterday on the committee of the Cotton Exchange to quote ‘futures’? at the close of business each day. This is in accord- ance with the established rule, which make it neces# sary for one member to retire each month—the senior and chairman of the committee, The gentleman above’ named supplies the place of the retiring member. On next Monday noon, at three o’clock, the members of the Exchange will meet to amend the bylaws of the: association, THE COAL TRADE. Representatives from all the leading coal companies held a meeting at the Coal and Iron Exchange yester. Mr, Elliot C. Cowdin then, in behalf of the Executive Committee, proposed for honorary membership of the Chamber Enoch L. Fancher, Judge of the Court of Arbitration. Judge Fancher was unanimously elected. Mr, Paul N. Spofford, chairman of the Committee on Harbor and Shipping, reported that in regard to the erection of a breakwater, for the purpose of making a barrier in the neighborhood of Gansevoort street, for the accommodation of canal boats, the produce trade of this ejty consider their present accommodations safer and much more convenient, and are very much opposed to any attempt to move the very large number of canal boats employed in that business to Gansevoort street, and that no good reason had been given to the committee why the proposed change should be effected. The committee conclude, therefore, that, in their opinion, the advantages, at least for the present, de- rived would not be sufficient for the expenses entailed in their erection. The report was adopted, and the committee discharged from further consideration of the subject. Mr. Charles A. Watrou: on Cuban Affairs, report chairman of the Committee as follows :— The special committee appointed to take into considera- tion the question of t! fect upon our commerce of & ther continuance of a the island of Cuba beg le to submit the following report : ‘ion that our exports from all the ere as follows, viz, :— Spore.

EL cere « $8,240,584 187 272,468 Thus it will be seen that the balance of trade was against us, for the years mentioned, to the amount of $312,000,000. e price of sugar in the United States for the lastten years has toa great extent been governed by the price of Gold, as follows:— wig Bae 1865, 10. to 18 7 t0 229 3 to 155 3 to 146 3 to 146 3 to 162 3 to 124 3% 0 to 114 at 3g to 115 2ig to 118 2S 10936 to 114 venty-five cents an arroba of twenty-five pounds, or three nts per pound, and the cost of delivering to vessels, in- cluding rges, half a cent per pound, Now, while the price in the hands of the producer is abont the same, the charges before It reaches the shipper amounts to $1 60 per 100 pounds—an increase in round numbers of one cent per pound. Presuming that we pay this increase on our imports~600,000 tons, which is rather an underesti- receipts—the advanced cost to us 000, “And yet {rom the best information inthe planter is impoverished even ut this the opinion of some of our largest im; 5 price, and, in ers, farther ‘advance will soon be necessary in order that the may be carried on, still further adding to the a plantations cost to us.

The exports of duce aro now about as follows —United Spain, 2 per cent; all other countries, 13 por cent. ‘And yet discriminations in favor of the Spanish flag pre- yent us from supplying the istand with but a moderate por- tion of the produce Th the year 1874 there were barrels of flour, of which the United States furnished but 59,000; and of many other kinds of produce which, in sae tural course of trade we should supply, the proportion of mounts turuisied was ‘but litte. greaier ‘shan’ that of ur. ‘Tho committee are divided in opinion as to the conclusions to be derived from the foregoing, and therefore submit the facts as ascertained without recommendation, The report was ordered on file. Colonel Conkling then called for the report of the committee to whom ,was referred the question of ob- taining the site of the old Post Office; on which to build a new Chamber of Commerce Mr. William B. Dodge informed the gentleman that a Dill referring to that subject had already been draited and sent to the Hon. Fernando Wood, THE JAPANESE (XDEMNITY, The Committee on Foreign Commerce appointed at the last meeting, to whom was referred certain reso- lutions in regard to the Japanese indemnity fund, reported :— As it is not the policy of this government to exact money from other Powers for our own ewol: the ernment and le of Japan national develo; duty of phe United mont, and as it is the interest of this coumsry to cultivate ingimate friendly and commercial relations with the East- ern nations, your committee are of the opinion that the restoration rhe! fund to Japan is called for as well by our own senso of justice and maguanimity as by that broad policy which seeks to extend our trade and commerce. Mr. Francis B. Thurber offered the following resolu- tions, whose adoption he earnestly requested as being of great importance to the shipping interest, They were referred to the appropriate commitiee :-— Resolved, That in the jadgment of this Chamber any logis- lation Miatag fewoskes wiaes te mecee as the Shipping aw of 1872, by removing from its supervisl rtion of our foreign going seamen, would be not only in- jurious to the best interests of such seamen, but also to the st interests of the port of New York. ny Resolved, That in the judgment of this Chamber it would ‘be unwise to transfer the control over the administration of the said Shi; law from the United 8: Courts, where it now is, to the United Stares partment.

THE WRECK OF THE HANNA. RESCUE OF HER CREW BY THE STEAMER VINDI- CATOR—THE CARPENTER KILLED AND OND ‘MAN SERIOUSLY INJURED. The steamship Vindicator, of the Clyde line of Phila- delphia steamers, succeeded on Wednesday evening ip rescuing in Delaware Bay the officers and crew of the Norwegian bark Hanna, bound from Philadelphia to Bremen, with a cargo of 202,539 gallons of refined pe- troleum, Lastevening a HERALD reporter went on board the Vindicator at her pier, No. 33 East River, and from Second Officer Cole obtained the following description of the rescue:— ‘“Wecame near the Norwegian vessel at half. four o'clock on Wednesday evening, seoing that sho had signals of distress flying. Her national flag, which had been reve: , was blown away. We stood by at half-past four o’clock and had the survivors all on board our vessel—fifteen, all told—at twenty minutes past five, including Pilot Lamanson, They all came off in their boat and only made one trip. The Hanna was covered with ice fore and aft, and the spray from the waves beating upon her made the coating thicker and thicker instant by instant. The carpenter had been killed by the breaking of the starboard chain and was leit on board. The rescued men had suffered » great deal by the cold and had nothing to eat all day. jothing was saved, except the logbook, Bubssuontly we landed the party atthe Delaware Breakwater, te was the intention of the Captain to take a tugboat this morning (Thursday) and try and haul the vessel off. He @part interest in her. Among the crew brought on was a wounded sailor, whose ribs are broken, I believe. He said that he was a native of Norway. As soon as our vessel was made fast to her wharf Mr. Clyde had the United States Marine Hi: pital ambulance sent down for him and he was taken over to the Long land College Hospital, Brooklyn, The vessel when we left her was fast ashore on Somers Shoals, Delaware Bay. If we had not taken the poor fellows off they would have passed a feartul night, * ‘THE CAPTAIN'S STATEMENT. Captain Lietken of the wrecked vessel sent by the Vindicator the tollowing account of the wreck:—"On the morning of the 2d, at five 0’ was struck by a beavy squall from W.N.W., parted the starboard chain, which killed one man and badly injured another; * endeavored to slip the port chain, but could not, an the masts being of iron, could not cut them away, bul succeeded in cutting down the main and mizzen masts.

This was accompanied by a circular explaining the won- drous qualities of the mysterious kalye. It was claimed that this article possessed a lavatory power ‘Y: where the steamer almost equal to ‘the regenerating waters of baptism that wash away sin.’’ 1t was proclaimed ‘‘a substitute for soap,’ the ruin of which was near. In future every one could do his own washing, and a small quantity would last an age. There was not the slightest hint as to the possible danger there might be in using the article. Tiis culpable neglect has in one case, at least, proved fatal, and unless the facts be ie public may possibly bring sadness to other jomes. Une of the samples was left in the bewinning of last month at the house of Mrs, Cassin, No, 215 East Thirty- sixth street On the 8th of January her little boy mixed some of the kalye in the tin cover with a match, making one of those little mud children 60 much delight in. He left the box on the window sill. His little sister, Mary Teresa, aged one year and eight months, got a good part of the paste on her hands.and cominenced to lick it off, The corrosive substance soon attacked the cbild’s lips and tongue, and in two days she became seriously ill, Onthe 13th ul, Dr. & G. Cook was called in and did all he could to alleviate the terrible sufferings of the poor child. The ulceration tacked the tonsils, then the stomach of the baby, until on the 23th ult. she could take no more food. afer this she gradually ' sunk until the tim of her death, on Sist of January. The physician had the substance analyzed and found that it consisted of concentrated jb, one of the sirongest chemical agents known, the inquest beld yesterday before Coroner Croker all the facts here de-~ tailed became public. The verdict of the jury was that “deceased came to her death by swallowing a powder called ‘kalye,’ a substitute for bes) and we recommend that the powder be properly ied ‘poison’ before being offered to the public,’” MOODY AND SANKEY.

Moody and Sankey having been almost completed—Gil- more's Garden having undergone & complete trans- formation—the revival meetings, whieh wiil probably begin on Monday evening next, will doubtless attract general attention.
