NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, JAN - PERILS OF THE SEA. Forty-seven Days at the Mercy of the Waves. THE MODESTA’S TRIALS. tafe Arrival of the Anglia, of the Anchor Line—L'Amerique in Danger. A party of seveiteen Portugueso immigrants arrived mm this city yesterday morning, afier a long and tom- pestuous voyage from Fayal, one of the Azores. Their Jrials, which ended, fortunately, without the loss of Ife, make an interesting story. The bark Modesta, commanded by Captain Diaz, was about 650 tons register. She lett the !ast of the Floris, beund for Boston, on the 15th of November, with Wout 125 emigrants, some of whom bad friends im this country, while others were going to seck their livelinood im some of the Western States, The bark tairied also about 18,000 barrels of whale oil, She was manned by a crew of eight men belore {he mast and her officers, For the first six days of her pas- gage, heading up to the northeast as she was, fhe winds were light and yuriable. At the end of that time, however, they were overtaken by a gale trom she westward, which played sad havoc with the hull I tho vessel. The formation of the gale was noticed by the Captain and watched in its progress. Being thus anticipated preparations were made for it, so lar &s could be, in the rigging and spread of canvas, The wind vamo up with terrific velocity and continued to blow four or five days. Before its termination the sca running in waves twenty or thirty feet high, Every stitéh of canvas bad been taken in, and for nearly two days and nights the vessel was scudding ander bare poles. Inthe afternoon of the tenth day aut, when the burk was almost directly tn the trough >1 the sea, an enormous wave struck her on the port ‘ide and broke over her. Fora tew minutes her bull was completely under water, and when her decks were nally cleared damaging effects became at once appiren's Alter the subsidence of the wind the bark was found 0 be leaking badly, and upon investigation it was fiscovered that her sterppost had been starie oie,” to use the words of the captain of the steamer Panima, ‘largo enough to drive a team of horses Vorough,” had been made 1m ber stern, aud that her bow hud been stove in by the great sea, The hole was stopped up with blankets and clothes ag well as could be. Soon after the gale moderated and the bark made gonsiderable headway during the ivilowing two days. A TERRIBLE GALE. The luckicss vessel was doomed to more misfortune, dowever, and again a hurricane burst upon i, ‘The togal yards were sent down, and the vessel tried to make its way in the teeth of the powortul westerly wind, under main topsail, Even this small spread of eanvas was too much for the __bark’s safety under the increasing gale, and once more the vessel was reduced to bare poies, This second blow was of much longer duration than the first, and for about fiiteen days tbe sails set consisted only of the foretopmust staysuil, maingtaysatl, foresatl, mamsail and span One day, about three weeks ‘after this “unpleasun ness’? began, the Joresail was blown trom the yard and the mainstaysail was torn trom iis stay. ‘The passen- gers became very much frighteved and demanded that the cuptain should wear around and allow the vessel to go back belore the wind tothe Western Islands. Tue bark was, at this time, about 200 miles from the Bermudas and over 1,000 from the Azores, For this reason Captain Diaz decide: to make St. George's, of the Bermudas, and announced his retusal to comply with the demand of bis passengers, At this the Por- Muguese showed sigus of insubordination, and the paptuin threatened to use arms if necessary to pr Kerve order Keep the _ pe This de. tided action had the desired eifect, and the excited crowd was quiet During tis gale part of the cargo between decks where the provisions were stored shifted, and the oil of several barrals, which were broken open by the rolling of the vessel, mixed in with und spoiled a great part of the flour, beans and Other food. Owing 10 this disaster the rations were muterially diminished, and for a whole week but two meals aday were served. Tbe pumps were called into requisition every hour wnd worked for filteen minutes at a time, the passengers being made to do their share of the wor! On the — forty-seventh day out trom Fayal the Modesta’ reached Bt. Georgo’s and thence the passengers — wore bransierred to the steamxtip Canim, Captain Lidde- cont, of the Qaebec and Gulf Port line, which conveyed them to New York. They took the boat to Boston yes- terday afternoon, under the charge of Mr. De Soto, has been their conductor since they leit Fayal tain Luddecoat suid yesterday that be considered tt Ost miraculous that tue old bark got through the 8, and that it is probable that she will be con- demued where she now lies at St. George’s, DANGER TO THK AMIRIQUE, Captain Merritt announces his intention to make an Immediate elfort to puli the steamer off; that he will Qither “pull her off or pull ber in two.”? His ability Teseuo her is, however, doupted vy the wise heads who koow the Jersey beach better than the alphabet, It is DO’ probable that, the ship now lies, she can be “straightened up” and bauled off. There ix no bar putside of her, but a strong undertow, and it will be a dangerous exp#riment to try to get ber in position to be pulled from her deep and tevacious sandy bed, Tho main chance Jor success in this is tonsidered to be, at least, two weeks distant, and, in the meantime, nm the event ot a severe storm, the already strained vessel would be too weak to resist the immense force of the 4, a8 slie 18 lying broadside on, abd must take the full fervor of the waves and wind, While the Coast Wrecking Company will make every eflort to save the , be abandone by the vessel sbe will, in all probability ownersi aud they will rely upon the underwriters to pay the msurance. She 1s now virtually ‘ond con- Lrol of the steamship company, and Captain Mereit’s pulling her im two’? will be tie prokable result of the vempt to get ber off the beach, Another cabie and heavy anchor were laid yesterday with the intention of making the trial at high water, when the cables shait be drawn taut; but there is no faithin the ex- periment even vy those who know that the ship's gurgo ts al! out and the vessel in as good condition us Bhe will ever be to stand the test. TUK ANGLIA SAFE. Tho steamship Anglia, Captain Mackay, of the Anchor Jine, arrived jast evening and is now lying ut pier No. 45 North River, Sho had on board thirteen saloon and twenty-live stecrage passengers. The cabin passengers were landed last evening and those of the Heerage will be landed today. The voyage of the Anglin is one ot the longest on record, She leit London on the 10th of December, the voyage oscupytog forty-six aa ‘The verse: almost from the Biart experienced head winds, She was, however, kept steadily on her course wutil the morning of the 21st. At elgut o'clock on that morning one of the cylinders biew out, and tho Bhip came to a standstill. The weather oad cleared Aud the sea was unusually caim. It was four days be- fore the break could be remedied, and during that time the ship drifted sevegal hundred miles out of her course. The engineers, now- ever, were equal to the occasion, and the stup was finally put to her course again, under canvas nnd halt specd, from the dienbled engines, Every or two the engines would stop, but the officers persisted and fixed them up again. The Captain finally decided to put into Halifax, and under Sail and with occasional aiu from the engine that port was reached on the 7th of January. The ship, as sho appeared last evening, looked as if she had been on a pleasure excursion to Sandy Hook, Her sides, smoke- Blacks and rigging were clean and nota rope seemed outof place, Tho passengers were cheerful atter their long Voyage and prosented 4 testimonial to the Cap before ieaving the stip. The Anglia will sail on Satur- day next for bngiand. INSPIRATION. The Rev. Dr. Taylor lectured last evening in Associa- tion Hall on the inspiration of the Scriptures. He pointed out clearly the distinction between inspiration and revelation, and also between it and verbatim to- porting. He accounted for the apparent contradictions bt the Scriptures on very natural grounds; accepted the Old Testament Scriptures upon the authogity of Christ, who quoted from them and referred to them as duspired, and ihe New Testament upon the prom Of the Lord Jesus that the Holy Spirit should teach ‘His disciples what to say and The testimony of David, the propbets, the aposties, that they spoke need, and the further Scripture events, of bestimony in very tm recent explorations in ihe Orient.

THE BURNING SPHERE IN THE CONSTELLATION CYGNUS—APPEARANCE OF A STAR THAT WAS PROBABLY DESTROYED A MILLION YEARS AGO— PROFESSOK PARKHURS?'S VIEWS. New Yorn, Jan, 15, 1877. To Tax Evrron ov THE HERALD:— When the tidings first reached this country thata new star had suddenly appeared in the constellation Cygnus, rivalling in brightness the principal stars of that constellation, it had already so far faded away that it could not be distinguished from the neighbor- ing stars of the Milky Way without careful comparison with Argelander’s charts on a clear evening. I had bo opportunity to make such a comparison until the 13th inst, when 1 found the star of tho 7.3 magnitude, utterly invisible — without telescome aid and requiring a good telescope for its identifica- tion, Upon observing it through a speotroscupe I saw a faint continuous spectrum, with three or four bright lines, from the red to the blue; but the faintness of the star mado it impossible to determive their posi- tions more accurately. These were, undoubtedly, the byxhter of the lines seen by M. Cornu when tho star was avout sixteen times as bright, and from whicd he came to the conclusion the light of the star ap- pears to poi exactly the same composition as thas of the solar envelope known as the chromosphere,’ In this respect there is a marked difference between this star and that whieb blazed out still more brightly op May 12, 1866, in the constellation Coroua Borealis, the only other new star resembling this which bas been seen since the use of the spectroscope, in two other respects there is a marked difference—that the star in Corona had been long known as a faint telo- scopic star, and that im ten days from the time of its first appearance (when it was two or threo times as bright as this star) it had become as faint as this star, after a lapse of fifty days, now 18, Whother carlier temporary stars have coincided with known stars, and whether they iaded away entirely or still remain visi- bie as telescopic stars, which cannot now be identified, we do not know, Butthe fact that after the outourst of ligntfrom blazing hydrogen in'T. Caronw the star merely returned to its former brightness, and bas ever since remained ot that brightuess, as well as the phe- nomena of periodically variable stars, seem to indicate that it 1s not the burning up and extinguishment of a star which we now witness, Although this star was Jogned it may have been ly visible cope; and, as in the case o it may return to its Jermer brightness and continue visivle in the teleacope ivefinitely, Although decreas. tng 80 much more slowly it will bo below the faintest sturs of Arge r’s charts in March, anu by July be- low ordinary telescopic vision, unless that decrease should be checkea, Of the cause of such a sudden ou/burst of luminos- ity—for it was sudden when it took place, although it was probably muny, many years ago, tho hight having been ou the way perbaps for hundreds of thousapas of years—we only know of one which seems at all probable, There 1s no wantof combustible elements in the sun’s atmosphere, There is no want of hoat to set tuem on firc. Indeed, they are already too hot to burn, being heated above the point of dissociauon, ‘There is, tueretore, no probability o1 any imternal convulsion which would produce such an effect. The danger is from without, If an immense comet wore to enter our solar aystem, aiming point blank toward the sun, the heat trom the impact might involve us in a catas- trophe similar to that which must have belallen the inhabitants of the planets revolving around th new stars, if any there were, It 13 t that we have not hada new comet for the last two yeurs, a scarcity almost unprecedented, so that we may well expect belore long one of unusual magni+ tude; but it may be doubted whether ull the comets obsorved during the present century falling ‘none mass into the sun would bo sufficient to largely in- crease the sun’s brightness or heat. Looking at 1t (rom another point of view our danger is see to be inap- preciable, foreven assuming that a stur is destroyed every ten yeurs it would be 3,000,000 yours betore our turn would arrive, Indeed, it may be, for aught we know, that our turn has ‘already come and passed, How do we know that 1,000,000 yoars ago our own sun was not tho centre of attraction to the inhabitants of planets in the stellar regions? HENRY M. PARKHURST. A TOLLOW SHELL EXPLODING IN THE DISTANT HEAVENS—WHAT MAY HAPLEN THIS EARTH— AN ANALAGOUS PHENOMENON THREE HUN- DRED YEARS AGO—WHAT PROFESSOR BOSS BAYS. Avuayy, Jan, 12, 1877. “Let me see,”? said Professor Boss, of the. Dadiey Observatory, as he stood in the deepening twilight within a stone’s throw of tho building wherein he car- ries on his observations of the heavens, ‘let me see whatis the position of that star discovered by Proles- sor Schmidt, of which you speak. 1 have been so busy with a book I am preparing for publication that 1 have had no time to read any bat the local papers,” “Here it is,” said his visitor, handing him a copy of the Hexacp containing, among others, an interview with Professor Newcomb, of Washington, on the na- ture of the stellar bodies, Professor Boss took the paper and read:—*‘Near Rho Cygni, right ascension 21 hours, 37 minutes; declination plus 42 degrees 12 minutes.”’ “That leaves it now,’? promptly continued the Professor, “sinking behind those western hills’? (pointing to a spur of the Catskills), ‘and too late to take an observation. 1 had not heard,” he proceeded, ‘about this discovery, but it 18 not by any means un- usual, Some astronomers hold that they are variable stars, now dim for a time and again bright and promi- nent, but the cause of their variability is unknown, Various theories have been advanced, some plausible others far fetched, yet all purely and necessarily spec- ulative.”” ‘his latest discovery though, as I understand it, is that of a burning star all gone fo blazes and consum- ing itself fast. Can such (hings be, Professor ?”? “Why, yes. On the nebulous bypothesis our globe was once in the condition in which, perhaps, that star discovered by Schmidt is to-day. The floating and flaming gases are supposed to solidify and the present appearance of conflagration disappear, On the fluid hypothesis this earth of ours is simply a thin crust, with a vast ocean of fire within, Now suppose that star in Cygni was similarly formed and the seething fires within exploded the covering without, might not the appearance of a burning star be observed? But if the whole crust was blown off the conflagration could only be for a very Hitle while and that star would ais- appear forever.’ “Are there any instances known of a star that astronomers were once acquainted with having disap- peared forever??? “There are; but there ts one better known and bet- ter authenticated than all the rest—one, that now | recollect it, forcibly remimds me of the subject of burning stars. It was diecovered by Tycho Brahe in November, 1672, in the constollation of Cassiopea i longitude 37, latitude 64, It blazed out brighter than Jupiter and as bright as Sirtus, lt shone with great brilliancy for two months, then it gradually grew dim- mer and dimmer, though it contiaued visible tor eighteen mouths, and then completely vanished excited great attention at the time, and all sor Wild conjectures were offered in regurd to 1, wus 300 years ago, when astronomy, As It now is, was only entering upon its career. They bad no means as wo have for determining the positions of a star, ‘The telescope was not in use, and they used the rudest contrivances for astronomical observations, It was that star that first iuspired Tycho Brabe to pay such special attention to the urt of observation, and all he did afterward was dono with greut care, But the no star to-day where taat star appeared. Algol in Ferscus and Mira in Cetus are two peculiar stars, being dim and bright by tarns.’” “How would you account for that extracrdinar; Appearance and disappearance of Tycho Brabe’s star??? “Well, Tycho himself supposed it wos a condensation acter of the Milky Way.’? { a sort of bright celestial cheese.” “Rather the cream of ap astronomical joke, Others thoagnt and suid it was a star that had been small and cure, and Was brought out into greater prowinence in a brighter part ot the heavens.’? “Ag a provincial theatrical star in the dazzling light of New York sometimes blazes out sor awnile aud then disappears forever!” “Just so, Swill there were others who thought it was a CoInct Without motion beyond a spasmodic bob- bing of its tat Loward the earth once in awhile,” “What other burning stura are there mention of?” “Well, there was one discovered by Hyparchus 126 years before Christ and another in 389 after Christ in the constellavon of the Kugie, It blazed forth brighter than Venus, It showed Jor three weeks and never was seen again, Another temporary star of Opinchus was discovere | in L604.

THE PHELPS CASE, JUDGE DONOHUE’S DECISION--THE PRISONER HANDED OVER TO THE TENDER MERCIES OF THE COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS, It being generally understood that Judge Pononue would give his decision yesterday upon the application under the writ of habeas corpus for the dischargo of Dr. Charlies Phelps, detained in custody undor a com- mitment of the Court of General Sessions for reiusing vo answer questions put to him by the Grand Jury in regard to tho so called May-Benupott duel, there was, as night bave been anticipated, a large crowd in Suprome Court, Chambers, atone P, M., the hour announced for rendering the decision. Messrs. A. Oukey Hall and Jobn A, Foley, counsel for Dr. Phelps, put ina prompt appearance, and were soon followed by District Attorney Phelps. Judge Donohue called tor the papers in the case, and immediately the large throng present rushed forward from ‘their seats toward the bench to bear what tho Judge might bave to say. Judge Dono- hue, instead of baving carefully prepared a written opinion, gave his decision orally, The following are his remarks embodying such decision, From his Opening observations it wus supposed that he was going to order the Doctor’s release, bnt when nearing the closohe annouticed adifferent result there was apparent general disappointment. Tho following are the Judge’s remarks embodying his decision:— In the matter of Phelps, the prisoner was brought bstore me un habeas corpus king bis discharge on the ground that he was illegally detained by a com- mitment of the Court of General Sessions. The re- turn of the officer iu whose custody he 18 shows that he is held under a commiit- ment of the Court of General Sessions for this witness’ refusal to answer certain quesiiuns set out in the commiument, ‘Tho witress’ cimim is, that by vir. tue of the Jaw be is protected trom answoring these questions; that without tbat immunity his answers might subject him to punishment in another State, and that the law therefore does not compe: him to answer, ‘The first poimt the Vistrict Attorney takes is, that l, sitting here, cannot go bebind » commitment of the Court of General Sessions. Without going at lengtn into that question | will simply say that in the case of Hackley, 1 which the sume point was raised, the Court did go inio the question whether the privilege could properly be claimed, and did discuss the matter at length, and though the Court remanded tho pris- ouer it was not on tue ground tut it could not yo be- hind the commitment, but on the ground that hg was not entitled Lo the privilege on the Jacts stated. And in the case of the People on the relation of Tweed against Liscomb | understand the sume principle was helu; and | understand tuut in che matter of Luage, in 18 Wallace, the Supreme Court of the United states, on precisely the same point, adjudicated Unat the Court be:ore when the prisoner was brought had the mghy to consider whether on the papers a case was made out for inquiry into the process of the Gourt, 1 shall therefore hold that 1 have « right to go behind tho commitment to examine whether there was reason for the action of the Court of General Sessions The question then arises whether the prisoner claimed tho right and is protected by the privilege, now set up. Iv is of no importance to the Court sitting here what may be the effect of compelling or not compelling answers 10 these ques- tions. It is simply the duty of tbe Court, as was forcibly held by Judge Rapallo in the Court of Appeals, to asovrtain what the Jaw is and administer it without regurd to consequence We have simply to adminis- ter ine law. The respondent claims nere that this prisoner is bound to answer because he 18 preciaded trom the use of bis answer in any criminal proc ash against him, How tar, if this were a now question, wouid be disposed to go into it there is no need to say, because the Jaw as to it has been thoroughly stitied in the Hackley case. It is there held that, in case the ‘witness is protected, he 18 bound to answor, although the auswer may enabie the prosecution to obtain ovi- dence to convict him on another charge. 1 do not uhink it necessary to go into that. The prigoner 18 not charged with, nor are the questions put to him, nor do T understand that 1 19 In uny way alleged that ho 1 connected with an ofience committed withio this The questions put to the witness aua the whole is State course of the interrogation show that it regard to something out of the State, When this le undertook tu punish dueling they had several oflences to deal with, First, offences ax to ucts con within this State; then as to acts committed this Sutte. in the section 91 the law under which this alleged immunity is given, by the first section the offence in regard tu fighting a duel is declared Puntshavie, by the second section matters relating to carrying 4 challenge; all matters relating to doing certain things within this State, Then, in the third place, the uct provides for a distinct and positive oflepco, 118 provided that as to matters relating vo the first und second sections, a witness answering when compelled to testily, ins answers shall not be used agaist bi Subsequently, when the stacutes were rearranged, another offence was added by tbe Mth section, che only relation of which to the first and Second sections 18 that it provided the same penalty. Itis not au amendment of the other sections, but takes up a different class of cases, to Which it allixes the same punishment, It seems to me ciear that under that Section there is no protection for this witness in an- swering the questions, und that he 18 entitled to pro- tection under the law. There was a very good reason for the difference in regard to that section, Under the first and second sections the offences were in t State. while under the filth and sixth sections the offences were In relation to acts out vt the State, and it would bean empty power to give immunity or protect Witnesses in answering in Liat class v1 cases, because such evidence could still be used against him in the other State, no matter what is immunity bere, and ‘Uiis State could not protect him there. The inst pot taken by the District Attorney?was that when this witness was belore the Grand Jury and tie Court of General Sessions he failed to claini pro- tection under this privilege, 1 think in that tue Dis- trict Attorney 18 correct. When called betore the Court to testify he is the party to jodge whether his answers will criminate himsel!, 1tis iu his ming what the evidence would be snd whether 1 wit! crimmate him, tis for him and no other person to claim that immunity, It may have been really his smtention 11 this Case to have claimed it on that ground, but that | was not made known to the Court, nor was ‘the Court made to understand why he reiused to anewer. His ropiy was simply declining to answer the questions, I think, under these circumstances, on the return ag it Stands, tne relator must be revurned to the Court of General Sessions. IN THE COURT OF SESSIONS, Immediately ufter the Judge had finished Dr. Pheips and his counsel, together with Depaty Sherif? Magonigie, huving ihe’ prisoner im charge, proceeded to the Court of General oexsions, foliowed by a good share of the crowd. Mr. Foley stated that according to the decision of Judge Donohue Dr. Pueips was privileged under the statute to decline to auswer any Questions in case there might be anything in the answers Which might iend to criminate himself, and that he had the legal mght to avail bimaelf of th privilege, Counsel jurthner stared that Jndge Donohue had jurther decided that the commitment of Judge Gildersieeve was also proper. Dr. Vhelps not havin tuken advantage of his statutory right and decline to answer the abterrogutions put to bim, the Wilners, counsel added, had been committed by Judge Gildersieeve jor contempt and was ready to go before the Grand Jory, but, as the Grand Jury were ut, counsel thought it was only right that Dr, should be released on his owo recognizances: should appear at eleven o'clock this moruing. Assistant District Attorney Rollins, who appeared for the prosecution, mtimated that he bad no doubt Dr. Phelps would be to attendance to go before the Grand Jury, and under the circumstances he would not offer any Opposition to the motion ot counsel. In response to the Court Dr. Phelps staied that be would be in attendance this morning at eleven o'clock, and was relonsed on his own recogvizauce. LUE GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY, The annual meeting of toe American Geographical Society will be held this evening at Chickering Hall, biof Justice Daly, will deliver bis annual address upon the “Geographical Work of the World in 1876."" BUSINESS TROUBLES.” The following avsignments were yesterday filed in the County Clerk’s office:—James Hayghes and ‘Thomas Keornan to Daniel Shicids; Sylvanus Lun teen Halsey, and George Fri isir INVESTIGATING THE FOLD. Superintendent Cowley To Be Removed from the Institution. ees WHAT HE SAYS IN HIS OWN DEFENCE, Contrary to expectation the Board of Trustees of the Children's Fold did not meet yesterday, but the mem- ders, notwithstanding, were far from idlo. Several consultations were heid, and the allegations against the Kez. Mr. Cowley were discussed at considerable length. 1t was flually concluded to defer action until alter a reply had been received from the State Board of Charities to a communication on the sub- ject, submitted by the trustees on Friday last, The result of the various consultati Dus been the defeat of Cowley’s supporters, and all js again harmony, but ‘it is o harmony that grates harshly on the ears of the reverona super- intendent. Even bis warmest adherents have yielded, and ws can be seen by the following interview with Mr. Newman, one ofthe trustees, Cowley’s days of usofulness in the Fold are numbered, When ap- proached on the subject Mr, Newman put on his armor of reserve and for a while successiully parri¢d all in- quigitorial thrusts, but after atime ho became more talkative. ‘This matter, said be, has caused tho trustees much patu. They aro ali men of honor and would not for a moment countenance cruelty or wrong in the institu- tion committed to their care, At the same time they wish to move in the matior carefully and cautiously, so that no injuetice will be done to Mr. Cowley. To the direct question—‘‘Has it been decided to remove Mr. and Mrs. Cowley? Mr, Newman gave un ovasive roply, but it was evident from his manner that such wan the de- cision, ‘The public, I am sure,” he said, “will be satisfied at our decision, and 1 don’t think any more cases of cruelty will occur.’? Mr. Newman (urther said that while he was not pre- pared to ussert that the charges against tho present superintendent of the Fold were all substantiated ho ‘was satisfied that Mr. Cowley’s temperament unfitted lum for control of the institution, A VISIT TO THE FOL, ‘The Children’s Fold in Sixtieth street was visited yesterday and a cursory inspection was made of the arrangement of the rooms apd general provisign jor the reception and are of the children udmitted, The buildiny 16 a convenient ove, and the sleeping upart- ments of the inmates, although somewhat overcrowded, appeared scrupulously clean. Most of the chiléreo were assembied in a lower room receiving their weekly wusic lesson, STATEMENT OF MR. COWLEY, Upon an inquiry as to the uote sent by the trustees of the Fold to the State Board of Charities, Mr. Cowley declined to give ut present its contents, pending the meeting of the Board, though professing bis desire that everything should be ‘given to the pifblic as soon as official action had been taken. In reterenco to the charge that he had associated specially selected per- sons with him in bis official capacity, he stated that the ground of such selection was only the willingness of such persons to undertake the work and their itness for it in his judgment, THX RECKIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS. He desired that it should be clearly understood that every dollar received from the appropriation of the city treasury and other sources was drawn by the treasurer of the Fold, Mr. William H. Newman, and it was by him alone that the vouchers were signed. PERSONAL EXPRNSES. Mr. Cowley said that his services had been gratui- tour up to the Istof Uctober Jast, but, as ho found it necessary to devote the greater part of his time to the supervision of the Fold, he expected to receive somo compensation for his labors during the past few months. His table expenses had been de- frayed by the institution, but all other expenses bad becn borne by himself. Ho did not desire to say anything which might injure the character tor vercity of those former inmates of the Fold whose statements have been published, but preierred to await the exam- ination of aeommittee into the charges, As to the composition of the committee, he ‘had no preterence other than that he shouwid desire to have iis members men of good stunding in the-Church. He might sug- gest thas a committee of three would be advisable, onw appointed by the bishop of the diocese, one by the State Board and the third chusen by the tormer two. 18 THERE A CONSPIRACY? A visit of a committee of the Bourd of Charitics bad been made to the Fold 1n May last, and it was 1n con- goquence of this visit that an investigation into the conduct of the institution had been made by the trus- tees immediately after, upon his urgent request. This investigation was thoroughly prosecuted by the exec- utive committee of the trustecs, and resulted ina ro- port generally exonerating bim trom blame. The hext investigation undertaken was the one made im December by the Board of Churlties, and its con- clusions, so diametrically opposite, he did not under- take toexplain, From the date of the separation of tho Children’s Fold trom the Shepherd’s Fold there had begun a course of what he would call slanderous remarks and determined efforts to frustate the efforts of those who attempted to carry out the objects for which the institution was designed. Specitied in- stances of this alleged persecution were given, aud he considered that this persecution, which grew out of church differences, ha prepared the way for the pres- ent complaint and investigation, THE BRIDGE CABLES, CRUCIBLE STEEL ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES—CONTRACT FOR SUPPLYING THE WIRE AWARDED TO J. LLOYD HAIGH. The Board of Trustees of the New York and Brook- lyn Bridge yesterday awarded a contract for manulac- turing the cable wire, requiring that it should be man- ulactured of crucible stoel. This action is in accord- ance with what the HeraLp bas suggested, and the only point of controversy remaining 1s the insufficiency of the specifications, The proceedings yesterday, as had been anticipated, were of a brie! and emphatic charac- ter. Seventeen of the twenty members wero present, Alter the usual preliminaries Mr. Murphy, the Pri dent, stated that this special meoting had been called at the request of the Executive Committee, who de- sired to lay belore the Board a report of their proceed. ings in connection with the bids for the cable wire con- tract, He then read the followimg commuuication and resolutions from the committec:— REPORT OF THY KXKCUTIVE COMMITTEE, ‘Tho Executive Committees bex leave to report that in con- seauence of the strong vote of the Board ou the question of awarding the contract tor the wire for the lurge cables to the lowest bidder lor crucible cast xteol for that purpose, altor tie reference to the committee to receive inether pro: posals for Bessemer. have not deemod it udvinnbl advertise for such proposals without further They regard that vote, altho one ofa majority, still as decisive ngainst the semer steel, tor in 40 important @ mutter as the main cab! ft would, in their opinion, be unwise to udapt «im terial which is distrusted’ by any considerable portion of the trustees. ‘The "question © is an important but fs subordinate to that of safety, und the differonce of expense between tho two is comparatively too small to permit such difference to prevent unanimity und entire confidence. | ‘they. therefore, ofter x substitute for the resolution heretofore subinitted by them, and recommend that the contract be awarded ty the lowest bidder for crucible cust steel wire, upon the condition it re large cabl issued for that purpose, be 7 -10 conte, gold, i the lowart bidder for crachule cust steei rita! mn of thin that kind of wire stipulated in bis oard daved Janney, 1877. ‘That the resolution adopied at the lust mect- the ‘Bourd instructing the Exeeutive Committes to receive proposals trom manutacturers w bid for Bessemer steel be wud te sano by Mr. McLean moved the adoption of the committec's report and alterward moved Uthat the first of tho reso- lutions be read again.

WEDDED WOES. A BROKEN HEARTED LOVER'S APPEAL—THE CRUELTIES WHICH MAY FOLLOW GREAT EX- PECTATIONS—-ANOTHER DOMESTIC DRAMA 1N THE COURTS, Another little drama of domestic infelicity was re- vi aled in the Supreme Court, Chambers, before Judge Donohue, yesterday, the complainant being Mrs. Mary L, Jamieson, against ber husband, David F. Jamieson, who now languishes in Ludiow Street Jail. As a ques- Lion of law, it is doubtful whether the wif has a right to imprison the husband, in default of bail, in an appll- cation for limited divorce and alimony, but asa mat- ter of justice, if one-half the allegations of the complainant aro true, Mra, Jamieson is not at all too severe with the partner of her woes. Jamieson js a Scotchman, thirty-seven years of age, who camo to this country some time ago and followed the occu- pation of a commercial traveller in the West, amrss- ing the snug little fortune of $25,000 or $30,000. With oll hig prosperity, however, he was sot without bis winter of discontent, and in the spring time his thoughts were gently turned to thoughts of love, The object of his adoration was Miss Mary L. Doyle, a beautiful young lady living on Jersey Heights with her stepfather, Mr. Hugh N. McKay, a wealthy and re- spectable merchant of this city, Jamieson’s suit seems to have been looked upon somewhat coldly, and in bis despair he wrote Miss Doylo tho following re- markable epistie:— 17 Beason Street, New York Weanesday April 3, 1874 Deanxst or Aut Wome on THs Lantit the writer comes greeting before you in this way not hay- ing the cours the time of out and dear moth my bended knees bet the love of you who is dearer to me than li! 7A of you will ever be to me the most blissful portion of my q My common sense on your father on Derrest object of a broken heart can you have no peaty on thy ardent lover, Say only the word darling and heal the heart you have wounded O Mamie anything in this world Iwilldo to gain thy sweot and everlasting love.

Such a touching appeal could not tail to make a deep impression on the heart of the maiden, and in a month the twain wore made one flesh, Tney were married May 6, 1874, and the next day they embarked for Liverpvol, Jamieson intending to show the: jewel whom he would not exchange for ‘a temple builued with rabies und paved with diamonds’? to his relatives ip old Scotia. A STORMY VOYAGE OF WEDDED LOVE, It turned out, however, that the passage s0 auspi-. ciously begun was to prove a stormy voyage of wedded love. With seusickness caine not only repentance but jealqusy. On the first day out the brokcn- hearted lover became the cruel tormentor of bis young wile's existent leges thut his malevolence began with brutal charges against her maidenly pur- ity. Alter these reproaches he left ucr alone on the deck of the vessel and she was compelled to ask ove of the passengers to show her to ber room, avd meet- ing her on the way he bitterly accused Ler of taking @ gentieman to her berth. Upon their arrival in Edipburgh be complained that a job ‘had been put up on bim,” and alleged that per stepiather had promised him $10,000 for marrying her, in the subsequent quarrels, which were increasing during the year aud a half they lived together, it was a source of constant complaint with him that she bad broughthim no money and 1n the end bis charges took the shape o1 impu- tutions alleging the criminal intimacy ot her stepfather Jamieson even disowned the puternity of their unborn bube, and to his flendish allegations he added a not leas fiendish cruelty, according to hig wile’s affidavits. He was a Protestant and Miss Doylo was a Catholic, aud he had changed hia rehgion to gain ber hand. In his ter quoted above he © gupon the holy Virgin to witness the sincerity of his motives, so that the change which came over the spirit of his dream 1s all the more inexplicable even iu the light of tus own allogutions. HAVE A WIVE AND RULE A WIFR. Determined as Jamieson was to have a wife he was not less dcterimined to rule her alter he had obtained her. ‘The complaint 18 a loug series of aliegutions of cruelty. They visited Ireland, and ou the journey to Dublin he neglected and abused ber, leaving ber io get g to throw her overboard, At the hotel iu the Irish capital ho pegiecied her and sed to speak to her, Once in London, while she wis in bed, ho seized her by the hair and knocked her head against the wall, He sub- sequently struck her in the faco, and, forcivg her out of the room, compelled ner to sleep elaewuere. Upon another oceasit in Edinburgh, he seized @ razor and threatened to kili ber, and she avers that her life was only saved by the chance ring- ing of the door bell. While living together in a flat in the last named city, he would sometimes go into the kitchen and throw the dinner into the fire, ‘Pbey returned to New York in Sepvember, 1875, aud while stayiug at the Grand Central Hotel, he seized their babe in big arms and threatened to throw it out of the window, and whea she carried the child away from bim he foliowed Ler into the bails, making ber a public spectacle.

It was only natural that the wife thu incontinently turned into the strecis should at once seck redress in the courts, and the next day Mr. Jamieson was ar- rested upon a complaint embodying the foregoing aile- gations. Mrs. Jamieson seeks a limited divorce and alimony, but this claim 18 only part of Jamieson's troubies. Her stepfather, Mr. McKay, has algo brought An action against him for libel, alleging that Jamieson sent him abusive letters addressed to bimas “Hugh N. McKay, Smuggler.” These letters also vontained charges similar to those which Jamieson made to bis wite im regard to her stepiathe>, and it Is asserted that the defendant declares his readiness to prove the alle- gations attributed to him.
