THE COURTS. (Judge Larremore Orders a Foreclosure Sale. The Suit Against the Sheriff of the County, CALENDARS AND DECISIONS. ‘There was another duli day in the courts yesterday. Litigation is at a low ebb 1n the present feverish polit- ical excitement, which now absorbs the attention of Judges and iawyers-equally with the rest of mankind. A Gecisigu in bankruptey was delivered yesterday by Judge sintehiord, in the United States District Court, ip the matter of the applicatiou of John Hannabs for a Gisebarge from bankruptcy. He was opposed by two of bis creditors, on the ground that, in contemplation of bamkraptcy, he had made conveyances of property to cortain creditors for the purposes of. fraud as against the oiber creditors on the schedulcs, and that he had failed to keep proper books of account. His @ischarge was refused by the Court, and be then of- fered a composition of fifty cen s on the dollar, or one- half of onc per cent, The proposition was opposed by | the same two creditors. Judge Blatchford has de- Cided that the proposed cemposition is not for the beas interest of the two creditors who upposed the dis- charge, and says that if the proposal of composition had been made before the application for the dis- charge of the bankrupt it would have presented dif- ferent features, ‘he composition under the circum. | stances ought not to be confirmed. Before Ji Barrett was commenced yesterday the trial of a suit brought by John T. Hoag agatogt Soerift Copner. ‘ihe suit grows out of an execution on an edition of the /rish World 1u tavor ot Mrs, Bodine, who did the printing. The case is still on, The case of Peter King, arrested for alleged illegal Fegwtration in the Eleveoth Assembly district, was bo. fore Commussioner Shielas yesterday tor examination. The accused, who was represenicd by Mr. Edward of counsel for Tammany Hall in the district, | showed that the registration was proper, and the Com- missioner thereupon ordered his discharge. Judge Barrett has demoed the motion tor a reterence and iraming of jury iesucs to determine the ciaims for fees ot counsel for the tate John 1. Brown, street cleaning contractor. Hoth motions are denied on the ands that the claims are for specific sums, Samuel Rowlana, formerly an officer of the Supreme Court, has brought suit against tue ctty for $636 25, on account of a reduction in salary. Tho case was tried yestorday beiore Judge dedgwick, who reserved bis Gecision, The same pointis taken as in similar pre~ vious suits that the reduction of salary was illegal. Mrs, Sarah M. G. Sherman brought in May last a | suit agaist William Watts Sherman to foreclose a bond aud mortgage for $43,000, given by defendant as part payment lor the house No. 245 Filth avenue, and the samo was relerred to Siduey D. Kay. On the reteree’s report Judge Larromore has given judgment of foreclosure and sale, and ordered the sale of certain property in the es it ward to pay the same Isaac Walker, a Fift ‘enuo tailor, in December, 1874, sont a postal card to Mr. 1.

A trial had been had in tho case, whtch re- sulted in a verdict for. Mr. Crane tor $300, but on a re- Irial yesterday befor Court, the jury were more liberal, and gave Mr. Crane a verdict of $500, to which the Court ided an extra alowance of five percent. ar, Royal 8.

Here he waited :or over two years, and (without mov- ing) permitted nearly ail the work to be done by others free of expense to the city, Now, when the work is almost complete und the prices of labor and material are greatly redaced, he moves. This ts not excused on the papers, and the excuse given on argument iwentirely infoficient. It ts therefore acwually unnecessary to consider the other question.

A regular meeting of the Board of Aldermen was held yesterday afternoon, with Mr. Samuel A, Lewis ia the obair, Several ordinances were passea providing for the drainage and paving of streets, erection of gas lamps and other routine matters. A resoiation was introduced asking for another ex- tension of time, until the 31st of Decombor, for com- pieting Tompkins Park. Some discussion arose as to the necessity for giving such additional time, as it was claimed by somo of the Aldermen that the Park Com: missioners were derelict in their duty in pushing the work. The resolution did not pass and was laid over | for (uture consideration. ti | The estimates of different city departments for the year 1877 were received and laid over. Mayor Wickham sent ia a veto of a resolution passed | by the Common Council authorizing the sprinkling of | Broadway, trom Bowling Green to Twenty-third street, | and Fifto avenue, from Washington Square to Fifty- | ninth streets, until the Ist of uext May, The reasons set | forth for this veto are that the present scarcity of wa- ter nas induced the Commissioner of Public Works to revoke all the outstanding permits under woich the streets were sprinkled during the summer; and thatthe sprinkling under the resolution would be done during the winter months, | The Clerk of the Common Council was authorized to | execute a lease ou the southwest corner of Seventn © avenue and Tweuty-second street, from Charles Jobn- | son, for use of the Eighth District Civil Court tor the | torm of five years {rom the 1st of January, 1877. | The Mayor's veto of a resolution granting permis- — ‘ston to the trastecs of St, l’atrick’s Cathoural to make sewer connection in Filty-first street, between Fourth and Filth avenues, was also calied up The trusivcs seek to make this connection without payment of the | usual fee, which would save them some $700. or | Wickbam vetoed tho resolution upon the ground that it would est ish a bad precevent im thus exempting church property under such circumstances, In his veto he states that the rule charging fees for ‘permis- sion to make sewer Connections has been rigidly a bered to for more than twenty years. He then says:— “During all that time the practice bas had no ¢: | ton in favor of apy church, religious institu lion, charitable institution, or private person or enter- prises, Even the public schools and depurtinents of | the sy go ment themselves bave almost becn in- | variably required to pay lor shoir sewer connections under the same rule, andone or two exceptions which have been made in tavor of pubiic schools or other public bath beep made under peet plional rea- sons. The ices in tue case presented by this resolution would amount to some $700, und I cannot perceive any reason which be adduced to graut the privilege which would conferred in this case, which would not apply with at least equal force to the case of every church, hospital and other building in the gly used for | religious observances or charitable purposes. An ox- | ception now would lead to endless embarrassment and namberiess svlicitations from others, which could pot : be denied if this were granted.”” The resolution was tinally passed over the Mayor's | veto by a vote oi 20 to 1. | Alderman Gross offered a resolution providing for the appointment of a special commitiee of five to take into consideration the matter of water supply in tbis city. Consideration of the subject was reierred to tho Committee of Acts and Services. Alter the transaction of rome routine business tho | Board adjourned to Thursday next.

Interesting Statistics and Comparisons. once enjoyed m the shipbuilding trade has now @ | almost completely vanished. To be assured of this it | | tm only necessary to visit the prera, which in former times resounded to the clink of a thousand bammers, but now are inactive and deserted. The stocks which some years ago were tenapted with stately ships in course of construction, to meet the de- mands ot New York's and the country’s grow- jpg commerce, lie empty. The men of enterprise who looked after the snipbuilding interests bave shut up their yards and gone to other parts of the country, | where they can pursue their basivess to better advan- tage. Only a fow shipwright establishments remain, apd these find very little to occupy them in repairing | and fitting vessels, If you ask old shipwrights, who | remember when tho city was in the enjoyment of a rosperqus shipbuilding trade, THE CAUSE OF THE DECAY, they are ata loss what reply to make. All will agree tbat the business was improving yearly up to the | breaking out of the war, but that since peace has been restored the busine: diminished as rapiily as it pic- | viously increased, until is disappeared altogether. In war times, when Jabor and everything else was high, ships cost about $70 per ton to build, and thousands | were then employed in their construction; but now, when vessels can be furnished at | a cost of about $50 per ton, there is no one to give | contracts for them. The New England Staics, princi- | pally Maine and Massachusetts, build nearly all the vessels in the country, the former State turning out | sevon-eighths of the whole number, and thither the trade of New York bas gone Tho wages paid in these States are much smaller than the trades union of ship carpenters will allow tradesmen to work for hero, consequently the cost of building a ship in the New England dock yards 1s much less than it could be built | for in New York, | ‘The average daily pay of ship carpentors in Massa- | I cbusetts and Maine is about $1 25, whi'o $3 50 per day is demanded for the same class of work here. Tothe action of the trades unions is assigned the remarkable decay of the ship building trade of New York more than apy other cause, Although the temper of New York merchants, who take an interest in shipping, is a little soured at the decay of this important business in the city, they do not envy their successful competiiors of the sister Siates the advantage they have gained so | long as the industry does not leave the couutry, Old and experienced shipping merchants complain bitterly Of the apathy of the national government In regard to shipping interests, and in this connection they draw a comparison between England and this country. In the construction of vessels for foreign trade there are several articles used upon which a duty is imposed. | "The English shipbuilders can procure every article they need at the cost of production, whilo American | builders are remitted the duty on only a few articles, and then under restrictions, There isa vast amount of yeliow copper sheeting used in fitting ves- | gels for sea, and tbe expense of this commodity large- | ly contributes to increase the cost of a vessel. The | auty on copper stceting 18 forty-tive per cent ad valor- | em, and is only aeducted when tbe wetal is used on vessels employed in the Joreign trade, It costs eigh- teen ‘cents per pound when taken out of bond, but coasting vessels are not allowed that privilege. i Wire rope is another article much used in ship- | ‘building, and all vessels are required to pay the full | guty 0. it, which varies from two toshreo and a half { conts per pound, and fifteen per cent ad valorem: | Manila {s also extensively used, and 1s suppliod out of | | bona, but uncer similar restrictions to the yellow cop- per sheeting. ‘When it is used for rigging new veseels for trade with foreign countries the duty, which is one cent gold per pound, is remitted, but if the vessel goes on a consting Yoyage of more than sixty duys duration the government can cotupel the reiurn of the tariff al- lowed. No redaction 1s made oo manila after the first | P | rigging, and as vessels require new ropes every two years the advantage ol the reduction 13 not very con- siderable. The causes which cripple the trade of building new | ships also operates injuriousiy to stipwrights, who would otherwise find overhauling, refitting aud repair- ing very profitable employmeni, lt is conceded that ships can be repaired quicker and better in the New York docks than tn those of any other couatry; but ' im almost every caso where repairs are required many articies of a dutiable nature are used which can be pro- cured much cheaper in Engiand. Tbis inducement at- tracts many Vessels to British ports which would pre- fer to bave their repai done in New York if the cost was equal. In several instancor, American trip of the ola copper sheeting, have ther and then sai! for Englaud to be re- be Jevied on all vesscls coming bere, shipping merchants assert, operate detrimentally to the interests of the city. Every vossel not over 200 tons measurement is ob to pay two cents a ton per day while they remain in port, and all vessels ovor tbat tonnage are charged twoand aball cepts aton a day. The whartage charges 3a other American seapurts are mach moro favoradie, and captains of vessels whon they can conveniently put up iu other hurbors GIVE NEW YORK A WIDE BETH. The harbor 0! uston is said to be much captains ON uccOUnL of its port charges, The systein prevailing there is to levy a fractional percentage upon the cargo ot vessels and this method proves mure sat- tafactory to ship owners. Notwithstanding the many divadvantages under which American ships labor, shippers affirm that there has been a great improve- ment in the carryiug trade Within the Jast two years, principally on the Pacific, This increase 1s believed to duo im part to the jarger exportation of wheat from California, but the profits derived from frewghts are not go valuable to the owners of Amerie«n vessels as those of other nations. The disadvantage in this respect iS attributed to the higher rate of wages paid to American seamen and the greater cost oi ship stores, ‘The principal item which ditmimshes the profits, and against which American sbip- mastors protest most strongly, is the cost of ship supples. The Kughsh ships can procure every taxable article needed for a voyage out ot bond. England supplies not only her own vessels with all taxable.stores at fiest cost, but also those of every other nation when they anchor in ter harbors. Through this inducement her seaporis are conunnaily crowded with ‘shipping trom every quarter of the gove.

There was mueb popular indignation. A commitee was appointed to request the Judge to resign, und the Chicago tribune of the 7th describes the sivgular scene :— The committce appointed to present the petition to Judge McaAilister requesting his resignation came to- gether about three o'clock yesterday alternoon in the upper story of the City Hail, The fact that they in- tended to present the petition yesterday was known to very few outside of the committee, and lor good reasous.
