The defendant hero stated that ho had offered to marry complainant on several occasions, and was willing to marry her then. The Justice then asked the complainant whether this was the fact. She then admitted that he had made tho offer, but sho did not want to marry but merely wanted "satisfaction." Tbo Judge thought this offer of Furman was the utmost satisfaction sho could expect. Moreover sho had sworn in her affidavit making tho complaint, and on which the proceedings were baaed, that Furman had refused to fulfil his promise lo marry her, and now she swore to a contrary state of facts.

Assembly; Chamber, i Albany, Mar. 1SG0.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle I must again call the attention of your readers to another error of your Albany Correspondent regarding my 'action on'Callicot'a bill to ameod tho City Charter so as to allow the Common Council to raise money for Dispensaries. The bill, as printed and on the flies, appropriated one thousand five hundred dollars, to be divided equally among the Dispensaries of the city. Mr. Callicot moved to amena by increasing it to three thousand. I moved to amend his amendment to make it two thousand dollars.

This would be giving the four Dispensaries five hundred dollars each, beinjr as large an amount as any one connected wilh the Dispensaries had ever asked me to vote for. I thought it sufficient to give what they had asked for, and not increase It TUV I voted for the bill. Yours, Ac, CflAKLES KEL8BT. Troposed Site for the New Market. To the Editor" of the Brooklyn Eayle Dear Tlie open and almost unoccupied ground' abuling on the river, between Fulton and Catharlno ferries, has been suggested as an eligible sito for tho New Market.

Any man, Mr. Editor, but one nrfllclcd with the opthalmia of real estate, on satisfy himself as to the fact by going over the ground. Here, sir, Is water frontage of from a thousand to fifteen hundred feet, rough measurement, and here, ready made, are a couple of docks, in which from forty to fifty market boots can snugly moor and discharge besides room for one or more docks. If this not markotablo ground, you may travel from East New Tork to lied Hook Point, and cry all is barren."

Adjourned. City Topics. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: Our ferries are fast becoming a nuisance, at the South 7th street and 8 outtrSth street landings ono is frequently compelled to wait fifteen to twenty minutes for a boat, and at Grand street they run only send occasionally The contemplated market creator much excitement. The $400,000 mentioned as being sufficient for the pur pose will not pav ior one nuu oi tuo groanu wmcu auuiu people here advocate for its site. Ths location selected contains one hundred and forty lots, me of thorn worth ten thousand dollars each, and at presont nearly covered with buildings.

Two millions of dollars would not complete the market. The Grand si. Itailroad is also another topic. The peo clc have petitioned the Legislature lo give the grant to Ira Buckman at a three cent rate of fare, but Iho Aldermen five cents mnst be charged, Perhaps the people don't make money as easy as some of the Aldermen. If the odd numbered wards could elect their Aldermen this Spring I think I know some of the members of the pro sent Board who would be permitted to stay at home, one in particular who is known hero as "Alderman Boulevard." Speaking of elections, reminds me that tho Aldermen have a bill beforo the Legislature to extend their term of office eight months beyond the time for which they were elected, and the Mayor's term to be shortened four months, for the purpose of enabling an individual I wot of to obtain that office under the smoke of a Presidential election but this bill will be defeated, aud with it will vanish the prospects of Brooklyn being soon ruled by a "despotism." Tonr "Sweeper" must bo a kind of night owl he seems to understand the thoughts of politicians.

Tho ticket mentioned by him on Thursday last is lust what we want, and just what we will have with Edmund Driggs for Collector, Jarvis Whitman for Street Commissioner, and Barney O'Neil for Commissioner of Ecpairs and Supplies, we will have a ticket that cannot be beaten. Col. Gra hom and Charles Tinney are very good men; but then rotation it the word. Delegates from the Eastern District will go down aB a unit for Edmund Driggs for Collector and if he is not elected by the largest majority ever given in this city, I will give you one of Peck's best heaven.

Circuit Court. BBrtBE JUOQE LOTS. Mary McXamtt agt. Experience Van Zandi. This was another rent case, tho plaintiff suing for $223, bein half a year's rent of tho house No.

82 Dean street. The defense set up was that when the defendant, an octogenarian lady, moved into the house she found it ahead occupied by bed bugs, who evidently considered tao humans interlopers, and commenced a warfare on them such as certain cannibals have waged against missionaries. They could neither eat nor sleep owing to the carnivorous propensities of the bugs, whose name was legion. The unequal contest was of brief duration. For ten days did the intruders hold out and the enraged borda of bugs keep up the attack but at tho end of that time the victory was declared for thelnsect warriors, and the family decamped.

The Court held that the presence of bed bugs was not a valid defense, and the defendant was compelled to pay $1S3 honse having been let to another tenant for that 'much less than the defendant had agreed to pay. Charles Jr. Mills against John A. J7i. The plaintiff is a jeweller, doing business in Atlantic near Clinton.

Defendant ordered a ring to be made in a certain style. Tho ring was mado, but as it did not suit, another was made. 1'hat not coming up to the murk, a third was made, which was. however, nhlne.t cd to on similar grounds. The parties subsequently met in a neighboring shoe store where a quarrel ensued on account of the rings, when defendant struck plaintiff on the breast, from which ho was so seriously injured tint ho has not yet recovered.

Verdict for plaintiff James Myers agst. Jame L. Burnt. The plaintiff is owner of ihe Pierrepont House, and this action is brought against defendant, who is tenant and landlord, for 41 1,000, balance of rent due. The difficulty arises from the fact that plaintiff agreed to make all necessary repairs.

Falling to do so, defendant mado the kept the amount thus paid out of Tho ease was tried in the City Court last torm, when the jury disagreed. Tho jury, on this trial brought.in a verdict of 81 fur plaintiff after deducting cost of repairs made. Daniel Pomeroy vs. Andrew Clarke. This was an action for damages, Ihe plaintiff having been a subtenant in a store owned by defendant, and let to Mr.

Hartshorn, who had sub let the premises to plaintiff as stated. Pomeroy had paid rent to Clarke, who gave him receipts and then acknowledged him as a tenant under the lease. In June, 1S59, Clarke commenced proceedings to dispossess Pomeroy as a yearly tenant, and tint put him to trouble aud expense to defend his rights.

The Court, taking nil the circumstances into consideration, suspended sentence. McGee, wo understand, was not discharged from the Navy Yard through Nicbol's exertion, but on account of keeping his wife out of the way on the occasion of the trial of James Kelly, convicted of murder some yours since. RlO'ilNO IN THE TWELFTH The following parties were arraigned for trial on an indictment for riot and tumult, alleged to have been committed on the ovenlng of January 12th, 1960: Edward Sullivan, Michael Collins, John Kearney, John Gnlvlu, Thomas Collins or Vnn Brunt street, Thomas Collins of 12th street, and Andrew Shelby. Tho defendants entered the house of Paul Keating about 7 o'clock on tho evening of the above date, and being somewhat under the Influence' of liquor, created a row, attacked Keating, his vrifc and servant, and heat them.

There appears to have been no Just cause for tho nttuek, unless, as appenrs by tho evidence, that ono of the parties had 11 grudge against Mrs. Keating. The latter and servant, Ellen Malum, wero severely injured. The following evidence was taken: Ltmtora Keating sworn Live atNo. 10 Van Brunts!

From this statement we have every reason to hope for an early realization of that great necessity of our city competition iu supplying the city and its inhabitants with gas. The capital stock was fixed at $1,000,000, divided into shares of $20 each it being thought advisable to place it at a sum sufficient to cover the cost of perfect and extensive works at the outset, and of enlarging the same whenever the wants of the ompany might so require. Stock to the amount of has already been subscribed.

While the larger portion of this amount has been taken by capitalists, a very considerable portion has been tsken by resident gas consumers, in sums varying from 100 to S50O. The list of stockholders embraces about 500 names, and is daily increasing. The company possesses a franchise of very great value in the grant which has been made to them, by the City of Brooklyn of the most liberal and comprehensive character, free from any material restrictions, and embracing the whole of the present City of Brooklyn, including what was known, prior to consolidation, as Brooklyn, 'Williams burgh, Grcenpointand Bushwlck. The Company have purchased seventy two lots of land, each containing 2,500 squire feet, and embracing a water front of 750 feet on the Gow anus Canal. The lots are located between 4th and 7th streets, and between the Canal and Smith street.

This location possesses extraordinary advantages for gas works. The price paid was $500 for each lot, with the exception of eight, for which $750 per lot was paid. This purchase is deemed highly advantageous to the stockholders not only by reason of its central position, thereby causing a saving of several thousand feet of the largest and most expensive gas mains, but also by reason of intrinsic value. No similar plot of land could be purchased for less than $1,000 per lot. A contract has been made with highly responsible parties, upon advantageous terms, for the erection of works of the most approved order, and which will embrace all the modern improvements for the manufacture of gas.

The works, when completed, will be of sufficient capacity to supply 10,000 consumers, and will include street mains sufficient to cover an extent of seventy four miles. The works are already fully commenced, and under the direct personal supervision of the Company's Engineer, are now being rapidly pushed to wards completion, and the Directors believe that the Company will be able to deliver gas in October next. Common Coencil. The proceedings of the Board last evening were chiefly of a routine character, reception of petitions, a few special reports and resolutions. Some alterations were made in the places for holding the polls, and ap pointments made to fill vacancies in tho offices of Inspectors and Canvassers.

An additional sum of $5,000 was appropriated to carry on the Ferry litigation, the former appropriation of 45,000 being nearly exhausted. An amendment of the Charter was proposed by Aid. Scholes to extend the term of office of the Collector of Taxes up to the 1st of July, to enable the incumbent to close up the books for the year. The resolution directing the Counsellor to draft tho proposed amendment and forward it to the Legislature for immediate passage, was adopted. Pen and Ink Portrait.

Our Albany Correspondence. Albant, March 12th. The morning session of the Senate to day was extremely dull, only seventeen of the law makers being present. Nothing was done beyond tho consideration of local bills in Committee of the Whole. The Eagle hns many readers up this way among them not a few legislators and several of the Senators take exceptions to the severe strictures in the editorial column of Friday's issue, relative to their course and the course of their associates on the Gridiron Railroad bill.

These gentlemen claim that their bill is a "People's measure" a measure forth and pushed through with one single object, and that is, to subserve the best interests of the dear people. They claim that their bill names more corporators than do the five Assembly bills that all their corporators in their bill arc responsible men and unknown to the Lobby, while many of those named in the Assembly bills arc irresponsible persons, men of straw. They claim, furthermore, that their gridiron is just one half smaller than that the Assembly, that is, that their route covers just one half less streets than do the five Assembly bills. They indignantly deny being actuated by anything: like a metulie consideration, and hint that $5,000 per head was offered for votes against their project. In short, they claim that tha motives were strictly pure and their purpose simply to thwart the mercenary tricks of the great Lobby.

Among the bills ordered to athird reading this mornintr, as the one introduced by Mr. Spinola, relativeto the rights and liabilities of owners, lessors, lessees and occupants of buildings. The strong and potential lobby sent here to fight the cheap ferriage bill seem confident that their efforts will be crowned with success, and certainly they do not entertain this opinion without reason. A member of the committee having charge of the bill stated to day that but one of their number was in lavor of its passasre. I presume that he alluded to Mr.

Myers. "What are the inducements that have been held out to the others to cause them to turn their backs upon a measure so just and so popular with thepeople of the two great cities Who can tell Has the Company spent any money to defeat the bill, and if to, how much These are questions which may be answered by parties iu Brooklyn, as well as by certain gentlemen at the Capitol. Mind, I do not say that money has been expended towards its defeat. Perhaps no consideration has been promised, even Lut if nothing like this has been done, the indicated defeat of the bill is most inexplicable, and the history of modern legislation is greatly belied. By the way, why is it that the City Fathers of Brooklyn who were appointed to visit Albany and closely watch the progress of this and other bills affecting the interests of your citizens, are absent now Why are they not here to protest against an adverse report, and if foiled at that point, to use the influence of their position among members from all parte of the State, towards Cringing about a favorable consideration at the hands of the House.

They could have done much to this end they may do something yet but just now the lobby of the monopoly have the working grounds to themselves. The bill to incorporate the KaRt Brooklyn Savings Bank bus been advanced to a third reading. DEBATE AND PROCEEDINGS. The Peltate. Nosday, March 12.

the osr. cent irr.niAOE bill. Aid. Dayton submitted petilions to tho legislature for the passage of tho one cent ferriage bill, to which about 3,500 signatures wero attached. Among the signers were the Mayor and tho entire Boord of Aldermen, all the publio officers, and most of tho leading citizons.

Aid. Dayton moved to transfer such sum as might ho needed, not to exceed $5,000, from the fund for general purposes, to the use of the Committee on Ferry and Water Bights. Aid. Douglass opposed the resolution until an investigation and report had been made of the manner in which the money previously appropriated had been exponded by the Committee. It was stated that $5,000 would be sufficient for the prosecution of this case this sum, however, bad been expended, and more money was asked.

Aid. Dayton had no objection to having the accounts of the Water Committee examined but it was necessary to provide means to continue the proceedings. Of the appropriation had been expended. Aid. Jenkins moved to lay the roiolutlon on the table.

Aid. Dayton aaid they could not expect tho Committeo lo fight their enemies unarmed. The great public interests involved in this case made the expenditure of the sum named insignificant. They could spend $10,000 in a water celebration, the benefit from hich to the city bore no comparison wth this matter. Aid.

Jenkins thought the subject should bo referred to the Finance Committeo to investigate the expenditures ol the Water Committee. Ho believed that committee had no more power than any othor committee or tho Board yet they had employed counsel in this case to attend to business that properly belonged to the Corporation Counsel. Al.d. la)ion said lhat this business had constantly occupied Mr. Gilbert's whole attention since November last, and Ihe corporation counselor could not havo attended to the case and the other necessary business of his offico.

Aid. Vau Brunt moved to refer the matter to tho Finance Committee to investigate and report. Aid. McNaniec moved to refer to the Finance Committee, with power to direct thu Comptroller to audit the necessary expenses of the Water Conimiltee. Aid.

Strong seconded the last motion. Ho said any ono acquainted wilh such proceedings must be aware that there was a great deal of expense attending them. This matter was in ihe hands of tho Courts, and those who had read the recent decision must be aware mat it was not at an end yet. "Whatever tho decision might be, tho case would be. carried up to tho ourt of Appeals.

There would be no delay in the proceedings, as it was of a class of cases which have preference, and it would be taken up nt once. If the Common Council were to shew any hesitancy in backing up the committee now it would encourage the opposition and injure the prospects of the city. There should bo no delay in granting the necessary means to enable the committee to go ou with tho proceedings. Aid. Dayton explained the present position of the legal proceedings and tho necessity for unabated vigor in the case.

Ho would guarantee that the committeo would give a satisfactory account of their expenditures. Aid. Douglass had heard of extravagant expenditures at Albany, or champagne and suppers at Congress Hall charged lo the account of the chairman of the committee. Alu. Greene said ho had been to Albany once this winter, and then at his own expense, aud he knew how the money had been expended by the Water Committee, and he denied thu accusation of extravagant expenditures.

No man dared to make a direct chargo against the Committee but sought to injure them by inuondoes andhints of this character. Aid. Dayton said he courted an examination of the proceedings of tho Committee, aud promised such a report of their doings aa shonld satisfy every man. At a meeting of the citizens of Brooklyn held in the Cite Hall, in relation to this furry question, the Aldermen of the 10th himself offered a resolution taking tho sense of the meeting whether they as citizens and tax payers would sustain the Common Council in the expenditure of money to any amount lo defend the rights of tho city, aud it iras adopted with three cheers. The motion to refer to the Finance Committee was lost.

Ayes 2, (Douglas and Maujer), noes la. The resolution was then adonted bv a vote of 17 to 1. (Aid. Douglas.) TUE WATER HATES. The ordinance to fix the water rates was taken up as the special order.

Aid. Kalbfleisch moved to lay the mailer over for another week, as he had not had time to look iuto it. He thought it would be injudicious to adopt the Croton rates as proposed; ho had noticed snm disproportionate charges in ihoscale, and thought that thu plan of assessing the rate solely according to tho width of the frout, without regard to the other proportions of the building, was not a Just one. The motion lo lay over prevailed. Aid.

Dayton submitted another scalo of rates, which he offered as a substitute, and it was ordered printed in pamphlet form. Aid. Douglass said the ordinance ho had presented had been submitted to tho Croton Board, and had their approval; and there were some amendments and improvements suggested by tlmt Board, not in their own regulations. EXTEJJDIKO THE TERM OF THE COLLEOTOR. Aid.

Scholes offered a resolution to direct counsellor to draft an amendment to the charter and forward it to the Legislature for immediate passage, extending Ihe term of Collector of Taxes and Assessments to July 1st. Tho Alderman said this was necessary, to avoid irregularity and confusion, and possible difficulty and loss to the city. A new officer coming in the first of May, could not swear to the proceedings relative to the tax sale, tho bills having been presented by his predecessor, who could not close up his books at the time when his term of offico expired, lie hoped therefore, there would be no opposition to the resolution. Aid. Dayton said It was an oversight when the charter was amended, to hold the election in tho Spring.

Tho resolution was adopted. The Proceedings. Aid. Kalbfleisch in the chair. The minutes were read and approved.

The list or polling places as published was read over, and the following amendments wero made 3d ward, 1st district Armory Building. 10th ward, 2d district 822 and 824 Atlantic 15th ward, 1st district 809 Grand street. The list, as thus amended, was adopted by unanimous consent and ordered to take effect immediately. ETITIOSS, RESOLUTIONS, fcc. Petition of owners of lots on Pacific street for leave to grade such street.

Leave granted. In connection with the above, Aid. Douglass submitted an ordinance by which Patrick Carlin, Georgo H. Powers and others, owners or real estate on both sides of Pacific Btreet, between Fourth and Flatbush avenuos, are empowered to grade such street. Adopted.

Aid. Slrong moved the appointment of Edward Mo Donnell as InspectororElcction for tho 1st district, 14th ward, in place of James Brennan. Agreed to. Aid. Green moved the appointment of Francis A.

Douglass moved that the Committee on Schools, Arts and Sciences, have leave to report at the next meet ing relative to the Board ol Education, and that said re port ue maao tuo special oraer immediately alter reading the minutes. Adopted. The Special Committee on petit ion of Charles J. Lowry and others, relative to plot of land on Fulton avenue, ceded to the city by George 8. Howland, offered a resolution by which the Commissioner of Repairs and Supplies is directed to procure a plan for a suitable iron fence, and its cost, lo enclose said land and plant trees thereon.

Adopted. The plot is at the Junction of Fullon and Groen ares, and Cumberland street. Aid. Dayton offered a resolution, directing the Comptroller to transfer $5,000 from the amount raised for general purposes to the account of ferry and water rights. Aid.

Van Brunt moved to ruler the resolution to tho Finance Committee, to examine the accounts ofthcSpc ciaLComniittee and report to the Board. Aid. McNamee moved to add that the Finance Committee have also power to transfer $5,000 from any other account, to the account of tho Special Committee, should the Finance Committee deem it proper. Both amendments were withdrawn, and the resolution was agreed to, with an amendment by Aid. Scholes (accepted,) that the amount Bhiill not exceed $5,000.

New School Houses. During the last few years, tinder tlw load of the present able Chairman of the School house Committee, the Board of Education of Brooklyn have erected several new and commodious Public School buildings.

Previous to this period, this class of jiublic edifices (if they may be dignified by such a title) appear to have been contrived, especially in the Western District, with more respect to economy than to convenience, or the wants of the public Lrntil the completion, in 1849, of No. 13, (the building recently destroyed) there was not a solitary house of the requisite plan or dimensions to accommodate one half of the children that would attend them. And during' the past three or four years these houses have nearly all been repaired and enlarged, at an expense to the city of various sttms.almost adequate to the construction of a new building such as the necessities of the public demand. "We were much gratified with the action of the Board at their last meeting, which seems to indicate that they have resolved on the abandonment of this policy, and that they will hereafter erect 5ie; buildings instead of spending money on the old ones, which is little or no better than money thrown away. The general plan and complete internal arrangements of No.

13, notwithstanding the homeliness of its exterior, were such as to afford Jamais grounds for pride and satisfaction to its projector, as well as to the citizens in general of that part of the city in which it was located. More recently certain improvements on the general plan of No. IU have been eontrivcdTjy tuo chairman of the School House Committee, and adopted by the Board, which as applied to Nos. 14, 15, 16 and 25, render these edifices the most attractive and desirable, probably, of any to be found in the world. But, wnile we may cheerfully say thus much of them, we arc constrained to allege that they have one or two radical defects.

It is true that the Board of Education thould practice discretion and economy in all their expenditures of the public funds but to stint the capacity of their buildings or classrooms, or to circumscribe their play ground, or indeed any of their accommodations, can only be regarded as an unwise policy. The school houses above named are erected on a good, general plan, and their manner of con struction seems excellent bus while we admit this, we desire to call the attention of the Building Committee to the want of one or two convenient class rooms for the use of the senior classes. In Nos. 15 and 10, especially, we find these two classes in one room, without any means of separating them during their recitations, unless one section should bo crowded into a small room adjoining, that in which they are seated, only about ten feet by eighteen, sufficient surely to seat but half a class. The teachers of these schools, their several committees, and indeed every one conversant with the exercises of the school room, freely admit that the arrangements in this particular are defective.

Bnt these defects may be easily cured. No. 16 is a splendid honse. The rooms are pleasant and airy, and aTe so seated as to give a very fine appearance to the entire school. The means of ingress and egress are ample.

In addition to the present accommodations, let there be a wing on either side of the front of the building, so as to accommodate these older classes, and the house would at once be a model one. it is to be hoped that in the erection of a new house for No, 18 and other houses, this amendment to the plan of No. 10 may be adopted and carried out for the Principal of every school should have a room to himself, wherehis classes, especially in elocution and declamation, may be instructed without confusion or molestation. In short, the advantages arising from such additional rooms are so obvious, that we cannot entertain a doubt of their adoption by the conservative and intelligent School House Committee. Such facilities are imperatively demanded by the advancad classes of our schools and where no questions but a small increase in the cost of building can enter into the consideration, there can certainly be no excuse for the neglect to furnish them.

TnH Gkasd Street Railroad again. Mokb Litigation. The irrepressible Buckman has turned up again in connection with the Grand street Railroad, with an injunction on the Flushing Railroad Company to restrain them from building the road. The injunction was issued by Judge Gould of Albany, before whom the case is to be argued on Saturday. Unsophisticated people to whom the intricate beauties of the law and our admirable judiciary system arc profound mysteries, may wonder a little at this proceeding, after the decision of Judge Scrugham and the prompt dismissal of the case by Judge Culver.

A question having been once decided before a competent legal tribunal, it ought to be finally disposed of, but in the matter of injunctions the Judges seem to have unbounded discretion, and one Judge may issue injunctions as fast as another dissolves them, ail over the State. If Mf Buckman Iooscb this case this time, he will probably go to Cattaraugus county and get Judge somebody to issue another injunction, and so on until he has exhausted the State judiciary or his own means, or has warned. tlie lTlnshing Railrbad Company into terms. As Mr. Buckman has recently recovered a judgment for 1,200 against the unfortunate City of New York, he is in condition to carry on hostilities for some time yet, and may retard this much needed improvement.

"Would it not be law as well as common sense for a Judge, when an application is made to him for an injunction, to inquire whether a similar application has been made and denied elsewhere on proper grounds, and to peremptorily deny any such motion, and thus put a stop to vexations litigation, and improper delay of public improvements Conckbss Yestekday. Several new bills were introduced in the Senate yesterday. Mr. Hyatt's case was fgain taken up, iind debated by Senators Sumner, Hale, Fesscnden and others, Finally, resolutions ordering the rebellious witness into confinement until he was ready to answer the questions submitted by the Senate were passed by a vote of 44 to 10. An unsuccessful attempt was made to bring before the House a resolution of inquiry as to alleged frauds committed upon the Nepemoncc Indians.

The report and recommendation of the Committee in the matter of Sickles' contested seat, were laid over until Monday. In the meantime, Mr. 'Williamson has leave to occupy a seat in the House. Mr. Carter offered a resolution, which was lost, inquiring how the 10,000 appropriated for the inauguration of the Washington Statue was spent.

The Homestead bill passed by a vote of 144 to 00. SiNoi LAit.
