[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.1] Harrrorp, Conn., March 10, 1877. Judge Shipman, of the Vaited States Circuit Court, has just rendered his decision adverse to the city in the suit of The City of New York vs. The New England Transfer Company, an action brought to decide the right of the company to run the steamer Maryland, as a railroad connection. betwoen Mott Haven and Jersey City, without the payment of ferry lice: to the city of New York for traversing the waters of New York arbor, THE LAW OF THE CASK. The decision sets forth that upon the facts the Court held that three questions of Jaw arise :— First—Did the ‘city of New York obtain, by tho Montgomerie charter, exclusive power to establish all the ferries from the original limits of the city to any of the opposito shores ? Second—Wus this exclusive franchise extended to | and impressed upon tho anuexed territory so that a | ferry could not be established trom a point in the Twenty-third ward without the license of the Common Council; or is the franchise limited to the establish- ment of ferries from Manbattan Island? Third—Is the use by the defendants of tho steamer Maryland upon its route a forry, within the meaning of the Montgomerie charter? The rst point is decided in the affirmative, and upon the second point the Judge, alter giving the arguments upon each side, declines to express an opinion, as the view which he takes of the third que: thon renders a decision of the second unnecessary. NOT A FERRY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE OLD CHARTER, Upon this third point, after quoting the decision | of the Supreme Court of the United States in the cas of the Bridge Proprictors vs. the Hoboken Company (1 Wall, 116), that “a railroad bridge—which is a mero | extension of the iron rails which compose the material | part of a railroad—over a river was not a bridge within the meaning of a law of New Jersey, passed in 1790,” | which gave an exclusive right to erect a bridge over the same stream, Tho decision says:— “Tho reagoning which claims tbut arailroad bridge is not ar interference with an exclusive right theretofore granted to build an ordinary bridge applies with almost | equal force to the question of whether a ferry franchi: is interfered with by a ferry which 1s designed for the | transportation of railroad cars only. ‘The boat of the | detendants is provided with two railroad tracks, which prevents the entrance or egress of ordinary vehicles | and foot passengers, except as they aro transported in | cars which run upon tho railroad tracks, The boat 1s | exclusively used for the transportation of railroad cars | and inconnection only with the arrival of trains.

The latest manilestation of this hostility is the most formidable. Prince Bismarck has, itis confidently stated, informed the French Minister at Berlin, and instructed the German | Minister in Paris to inform the Duc Decazes that he looked on the construction ofa second line ot first | class fortresses behind the new frontier line as a menace to Germany.

The literary public wilt be grateful to Messrs.

He was outspoken in his opinions, not only of the scien- title positions occupied by bis loarned friends, the ma- terialists, with Darwin and Huxley at tne head, but also of certain social usages and oppressions, which called down on his devoted head the tierce anathemas of tho reviewers, We all remember the excitement caused by the appearance of ‘Alton Locke,” and the hot and partisan tomper in which the merits and spirit of the book were discussed, Carlyle read it eagerly, and although he wrote to Kingsley to say that he thought it crude and by no means the best the author could do, he nevertheloss acknowledged a certain ‘wild intensity in it which held the reader fuxt as by a spell. Social questions had a peculiar tascination tor bit. He could not write even a novel without laying its deep | foundation in some public abuse or some experiment | in favor of order and law. That he advanced fromthe | obscurity of acountry curate to fricndship with the noblest minds of the age and to acquaintanceship with dukes and princes was only the natural result of ge bins and a remarkable Christian courtesy, which hint beloved even among those with whom he openly stontly differed, Indeed, it 18 impossible to do any+ thing like justice to such a life in the small space | which is wssigned to this review.

New York: J. B Ford & Co, We have received from Messrs. J. B. Ford & Co. the proot sheets of a few chapters of Father O'Reilly's forthcoming work; also the four first numbers, with their accompanying illustrations, Father O'Reilly begins his list of heroic women of the Bible and Church with Eve, the mother of all the Iwing, ana carries it down to the venerable Marguerite Bourgeoys, foundress of the Sisters of Notre Dame, Montreal, The chapters before us give evidence of careiul and enthusiastic research anda keen appreciation of the characters on this sacred beadroll, ‘The reverend | autbor deals very gently with the erring mother of ourrace, He say: “Our first mother found it hard fruit amid the boundless store provided for her by the Almighty hand, During the 700 or 800 years that she | is to witness on earth the goou and evil deeds of her | progeny one lesson she must inculcate on every child of lere—that moral strongth consists in tasting not, touching not, where to touch is to defile or to taste Is death; and that true heroism consists more in sufler- ing evil than 1m doing good, true merit in sacrificing | one’s own darling inclinations more than in oftering | up choicest victims, and the bighest moral perfection | In #eeking God's interest by benefiting human souls, It the true woman who reads this page will compare vo's single recorded fault with her long centuries of Magnanimons suffering and persovering endeavor to repair tho evi! sie had done the comparison may lead her to pity rather than biame, to admire where many have despised, and to find in the after-life of our com- mon parent many hero:e qualities well wo ol the imitation even of her Christian daughters,” Father O’Reilly has even a good word for the witch of Endor, and Mary Magdalene is discussed with feel- the longest in the book. Father O'Reilly says In summing up this chapter ‘It is wad of the ‘valiant woman,’ in Proverbs xxxi., 2%—‘Her ebildren rox | and called her blessed; her husband, and ho praised her.’ Thero never existed a houschold m which the children did not deem it their duty to honor their father by paying reverence to the mother who bore | him, For the son is honored in his parent, That carnate God, and united her sublime constancy with his divine spirit of velf-eoerifice on Calvary, must ever stand tn the relation of parent, of mother, to Him | whom aloae we adore as the Vather of our souls, If members of God's household on earth, as wo | ciaim to be, we rise up and call her blessed. Wo are taught to do so by the angel who brought message, and by Elizabeth, when the Holy Ghost, she niessed and jored the Word Incarnate; pay, Mary herself, the ext moment, in her prophetic soug of thanksgiving, ‘rom heneetorth all generations sbull call me blessed.’ "” Protestante, as well ax Roman Catholics, will read Father O'Reilly's book with pleasure and profit, The work ts issued in parts and sold by sub- scription only. tis very handsomely gotten up ax re- guards both printing and binding, The author drops a lint im bis pretace that this book tay be followed b another ou the “Heroes of the Bioie and Charen, HOTEL ARRIVALS, Congressman George A.
