Another "Slucaenl facta." PUBUC SCHOOL, No. 8. A brief statement of facts in relation to the manner in which tho late teacher of the District School in Middagh street was deprived of his situation. Sometime ago I had a tolerably minute history of the above transaction prepared to lay before the public. It did not, however, contain any of the fascinating attractions of Puseyism or party and therefore, for the present, must be deferred.

My space being circumscribed I must be brief, and define my position as well as lean without entering into much circumstantial detail. I have heard so much astonishment expressed, and so many inquiries made in relation to this transaction, that I should be wanting to the public as well as to myself, were I any longer to remain entirely eilent. So far as 1 am concerned I wish the whole trnth to be told. I have nothing to conceal, and therefore fear not the truth. As a teacher I have done my duty faithfully and fearlessly; and if any man thinks he can prove to the contrary let him stand forward, openly and manfully, and I will answer him.

My complaint is, and has been, not simply that I was removed at the end of the year, arbitrarily and without any assigned cause, but the disingenuous, secret and underhand manner in which the transaction waa carried on and finally consummated. I have long and well know the mortifying fact, that the most faithful teacher in a District School is at the mercy of every trusteo, good bad, or indifferent, whom party politics may have wafted into the office. in relation to one of the incumbents whom the law unexpectedly placed over me, I was put upon my guard many months before he exhibited his capriciousness and personal malignity. Notwithstanding thia I went on with my duty as usual regardless alike of frowns or favors. For fifteen months previous to the 1st of May last there had been virtually but one trustee, although the law required three.

James Walters was the acting, and Abraham B. Baylis the silent trustee, who never acted except in signing the notice for my removal By the former I was informed in February that all the appointments would, hereafter be made by the Board of Education. But notwithstanding this, he sent me a notice some weeks after to quit on the 1st of May I inquired of Mr. Coope, Dr. King, the Deputy, and Mr.

Baylis, each one of whom seemed to shift the responsibility from himsftlf, so that I could get no satisfaction from aBy one, why, or wherefore, the notice was sent me. I respectfully asked by letter but never received any answer. Dr. King resolved the whole affair into an art of mere arbitrary power could assign no other reason for it; and, in atone and manner apparently the most friendly, suggested ways and means by which I might retain my situation, notwithstanding what the trustees had done. A few days more revealed the astounding fact that this very Dr.

King had been a pr ime mover in the whole business, to effect my removal, and procure the situation for an unsuccessful preacher in New Jersev, and oblige a friend of his own. What means did he use to effect this Why, he carried the note of Walters to Baylis, whom he persuaded to sign it by urging upon him that the school was going down, and must have another teacher In reply to this most astounding assertion it is only necessary to say thaU7ie school never had before ieensofull; and Dr. King knew this fact himself, for I had but recently put'inlo his hands the schedule shewing the largest average attendance ever known in this school. The number on register had nearly doubled. A copy of the monthly returns is now before all interested may inspect.

Here I might stop, and let tho public judge for themselves. In relation to Mr. Baylis, he acted the part of a mere automaton. He certainly evinced neither discretion nor magnanimity. Had he done his duty half as faithfully as the Teacher had done his, he would probably have paused before he achieved such an act being as it was, his first act as a trustee.

Aldermen Harris and Fisk, Judge Furman and Cyrus P. Smith, as well as two sound legal gentlemen in N. York, were all unanimous that the former trustees, Walter and Baylis had nothing to do with the schools on the 1st of May.and had no right to induct another into my situation, as I was then under the Board of Education. Walters, however, took possession on the 1st of May. I memorialized the Board on the 2d.

A committee was appointed bv the President, Dr. King, on my memorial. Mr. Earoes of said committee reported that the Board had no jurisdiction in the matter and that, if there was any ground of controversy, it Jay between the former trustees and myself and that if I was aggrieved, I must appeal tor' redress to the Superintendent at Albany It was elsewhere pertinaciously maintained, that because Walters was in power when he nuli fied me to quit, that therefore the removal was valid! which isjnst saying, in so many words, that the Governor in power may make all the removals and appointments for the Governor elect Now, if this committee either did not known or would not maintain the rights of the Board I was well aware the Secretary of State could not compel them. Wishing.however, to test the orthodoxy of such a "report," aad bring the whole affair before the highest authority, 1 laid it, by appeal, before the Superintendent at Albany; and his opinion of the case, lately come to hand, is precisely what 1 anticipated.

1st. He entertains no doubt of the ability and competency of the appellant. 2d. He is willing to assume the existence of personal ill will on the part of one trustee, and the culpable negtect of duly of the other and also the entire absence of any well grounded pretence for the dismissal of the teacher. 3d.

The Board of Education were in office before the first of May, and the matter lay wholly between them and the former, uslccs and not as asserted in Mr. Eames's report.) Since sending up my report it has come to my knowledge that Walters acted under the sanction of Dr. King on the 1st of Mav in dis placing me, to shield himself from the terrors of the law New, who sanctioned Dr. Kingl Had the members, individually, executive authority, and that too before the Board was organized? I was willing to walk out quietly at the command of the Board of Education, inasmuch as my term expired after they had come into office but I do now, as I did then, protest agaiust usurped and tyrannical authority. Dr.

King himself had told me that if the Board put l'le wou'd Sive me some reasons for it. Why then did he usurp that authority and prevent them from doing so 1 Now I am willing thatthe whole story should be told, every family of the city and throughout the land, how, and by what means I was removod from District School No. 8, by the county deputy and one trustee. To give color to the transaction I am willing also that they should tell in every family, as ihey have already circulated privately, that 1 was guilty of cruelty and had a disorderly school. I have testimony enough now before me, and thero are enough in the District, to refute tho calumny.

It is competent to inquire if such conduct such disregard of candor and probity, can be tol erates a county deputy? It is competent also to ask why the trustee, James Waltsrs, nothwithstanding all his exertions, could not umaiu a seal id me oara ot Education, while another obtained it who never asked for it! These are the individuals by whom I was removed by the exercise of usurped power. R. L. S1TI BAV EVENING, SEJP'JT. 2.

Publishing Office, 39 Fulton street 2d Story. The ITInrliet luawm. Our citizens probably have some knowledge of the controversj' which has been going on both in this and the neighboring places for a long time past, on the subject of what is term ed "The Market MonoDolv." The riffht of the corporation to provide a limited number of houses in which fresh meat shall be sold, and to prescribe certain rules and regulations therefor a violation of which shall be deemed a penal offence is strenuously maintained by one party and denied by the ether. The plea of the former (or one of their pleas) is, that the health of the citizens demands their supervision in these respects, and they claim further that the law authorises them to regulate the whole business but the latter complain that sueh "regulation" is unjust in itself, unequal and oppressive in its effects, and calculated to give a fictitious price to one of the chief neces saries of life. We need hardly say that our sympathies are entirely with the defendants in this matter; but we do nevertheless maintain that while the laws exist, they should be respected and obeyed.

Just consider, for a moment, what would be the effect of a contrary view The cartman thinks himself unjustly dealt with in being subjected to an onerous tax for ajlicense and we do loo. Indeed we were never more sensible of this fact than when we saw a poor Irish widow, a week or two since, paying over her hard earnings for a month, probably, to the corporate authorities in order that her son might be permitted to assist her in procurins a livelihood bv drivintr. a cart! The cabman complains that he is regulated" out of a license fee, the coachman, do the grocer, coal and wood dealer, all mako similar complaints. Suppose all of them refuse to recognize or respect the obnoxious laws 1 The consequence is, that the city is deprived at once of a large and reliable source of revenue the courts are crowded with costly and vexatious lawsuits everything is at loose ends, and the badly disposed, finding that one class of laws may be violated with impunity, conclude that they need not trouble themselves about the statutes in jftei'r case made and provided." A general disrespect for legal authority is forthwith engendered, and the whole of our municipal affairs resolve themselves into chaos. Can any one desire this state of things 1 We suspect not and yet, why may it not happen if an inroad is once made Let us be understood upon this subject.

We are opposed to the market monopoly, and to all other monopolies, of every shape, form and character but we do contend that while they have the authority and sanction of law, they must be opposed in a constitutional and legal way. Public opinion must first be operated upon and convinced. Then let the obnoxious statutes be repealed, in due form and course; but do not let us attempt to relieve the errors of legislation by taking the laws into our own hands, and becoming at once judges and executioners. The effect of such proceedings cannot be otherwise than demoralizing and must have a tendency to inspire contempt for all law. We hope to see the day whan trade universally will be released from the injudicious restraints and endless regulations" that now embarass and cripple us energies and, if we live, shall endeavor to bear our part in the great revolution which seems to bo now approaching.

But we cannot shut our eyes to the pernicious consequences of allowing any law to become a dead letter, and its violation to be winked at by the executive authority. Nor do we conceive that a jury should hesitate about a verdict, where a violation of the market law is clearly proved. They are not placed in the box to try the law but the person accused violating them and a negelect of this distinction has given rise to some very grave mistakes. It was our purpose when we commenced this article to give a summary of the case of The Mayor vs. Wm.

Barber, which was tried yesterday before Judge Church but we find that our room is nearly used up. Suffice to say that the offence charged a violation of the Market Laws was clearly proved but it was shown, in evidence, that the Atlantic Market was an nnfit place for a butcher, in consequence of some deposits in its rear, and a verdict was given for the defendant. The Sickness at Roundout. The course which some of the New York journals have pursued in relation to this matter, ought to receive the mcst unequivocal condemnation. Instead of directing their censure against the Health Officer at Quarantine for permitting a gross violation of a law which, be it ever so foolish, has the authority and sanction of tho people, they have opened their batteries of wit, ridicule and sarcasm against the Board of Health for performing their duty, and exercising the powers with which they are clothed for the purpose of protecting community against infectious diseases.

Whether the yellow fever is contagious, (as most people believe) or endemic, and whether the quarantine laws be necossaay and just, or the reverse, are questions which had nothing to do with the action of the Board. It was enough to know that the people had enacted certain rules for the preservation of the public health, and appoint ed officers te execute thorn, according to their true intent and meaning and instead of lampooning them for a prompt and faithful discharge of their duty, upon information derived from the proper sources, it would be more proper to award them a high degree of credit. A distinction should always be made between a bad law, and those whose duty it is to enforce it. The former may be execrable, while tho latter are blameless. County Convention.

We give to day the proceedings of the Convention, held yesterday at Flatbush, which are full, and require no comment We may state, however, that there was a very good attendance, both of delegates and citizens, and that the business was conducted with great order, and characterised by marked unanimity. At a Convention of the Democratic Republican Delegates, appointed from the different wards and towns of the county of Kings, held at the house of Mrs. Ann Schoonmaker, in Flatbush, in said count', on the first day of September, 184.3, pursuant to the resolution of the General Standing Committee, the following gentlemen were appointed officers.

On notion it was resolved that tho convention proceed to ballot for two delegates to attend the State convention at Syracuse, on the 5th day of September instant. An informal ballot having been completed, it was further resolved that the two candidates having the largest number of votes be declared duly elected.

A formal balloting was then had, the result of which was as follows John S. Garrison, 34 votes. John Vanderbilt, 32 votes. The said persons having obtained a majority of all the votes, were thereupon, by resolution to that effect, declared duly elected. A resolution which had been previously offered, touching the district system and had been laid over, by consent, was then taken up, and after an animated, but most friendly discussion, was amended and passed as follows: Resolved, That as the sense of this Convention, we are in favor of the uniform district system in relation to the election of Presidential electors, and we hereby instruct our delegates to that effect, unless, in their judgment, the same will conflict witii tho well known wishes of tha democrats ot the State.

It was resolved that the eonvention proceed to tne election of two delegates to attend the Senatorial Convention, to be held in Tammany Hall on the first Tuesday of October next, and James C. Church and Thomas Garrison, were duly chosen by a majority of all the votes given. A committee to draft resolutions having been appointed, returned and presented the following, which were adopted unanimously. Resolved, That the recurrence of the meeting of the delegates of the democratic party of Kings County presents a proper opportunity for an expression of its views upon the measures of their representatives, and in regard to those who have filled the posts of trust to which they have been assigned by the people; and that, as tho sense of this convention it is accordingly further Resolved, That the debt paying policy adopted by the Legislature of 184:2, and sustained by that of last winter, has restored confidence in business, has allayed the well grounded fears of the people which the extravagant expenditures of the former years iiad raised, that the prosperity of the state would be seriously impaired if not destroyed, if these schemes were persevered in and has established the credit and power of the 6tate firmly and beyond the reach of injury. Kesolved, lhat the executive duties of Governor have been ably and satisfactorily discharged by William C.

Bouck, whose sentiments of state policy not less sound than honest deserve, as they receive, our hearty commendation. Resolved, That it behooves all the membars of the democratic party of thia state to lay aside private feeling and to frown down all attempts at division founded on differences of opinion upon questions not involving the great principle of our brotherhood and that the recent proposition of some of our opponents to leave the fieid at the ensuing election is merely a device to divide ub that they may conquer a result which a spirit of conciliation amongst ourselves, must, and will defeat. Kesolved, lhat we have entire confidence in the principles and abilities of the Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson, and of the several state officers and that thus confiding in them, we hope to see harmony in their counsels and united action in their measures.

Resolved, That the course of the Hon. John A. Lott, as our Senator, meets with our full approbation, as does also that ot our representatives in Assembly, William M. Udall and William Conselyea, Esqs. Resolved, That we still retain the unlimited confidence which we reposed in the integrity and honesty of M.

Van Buren in 18 10, andthat we still recognize in him the sound democrat, and enlightened statesman. Resolved, Thatthe Congressional Delegates appointed in 1842 have full power to settle, either personally or otherwise, the number of Delegates to which the several counties in the Second Congressional district shall hereafter be entitled, and to designate the counties from which the candidates shall hereafter be selected. On motion it was resolved that the thanks of the meeting be presented to its officers, for the able and efficient discharge of their duties. The convention then, with the most perfect feeling of unanimity, adjourned sine die. WM.

The remaining intelligence has reference to the political condition and prospects of Spain the first of which is briefly stated in a preceding paragraph.

The weather had been excessively hot; several of the men had died many more were sick and unable to travel. The flies in countless myriads were so bad upon the horses that they were completely broken down, and the Captain, in consequence of all these difficulties, had been compelled to encamp some two hundred and fifty miles west of this, and remain until his men and horses recruited sufficiently to enable them to get back.

A most frightful scene occurred at Paterson Falls yesterday, which should serve as a warning to those visiting this romantic spot.

He was carried by the force of the current a distance of some thirty feet, beneath the surface of the water, when he fortunately encountered a projecting rock, through which means, after much struggling and uncommon presence of mind, he succeeded in effecting his escape.

Had he passed the rock and it was a miracle that he should have reached it at all ho must inevitably have been precipitated over the precipice into the boiling chasm beneath. We understand that eight persons have lost their lives from a similar accident, on this very spot. Herald. Gen. Jackson A gentleman who visited Gen.
