WANTS. AUCTION SALES. FIRST EDITION. alto inssip. ExSenatOr Sloan.

The Albany correspondent of the Courier and Enquirer has the fol lowiDgtribute to the executive ability of thii distinguished BrooKljnite, to which we say ditto It is considered one of the most remarkablo instances of energy and as evidencing the possession of the best faculties of management, that Mr. Sloan, the President of tho Hudson Kivcr Railroad, was able by his force, to prepare the road for that wonderful Presidential journey, so soon after the effect of a very unexpected and premature ice break had brought i is rceults of flood and fracture. Mr. Lincoln knew nothing of anv interruption to the transit on the road, except as he saw the fringe of ice crags by the river side. It is very doubiful if a Government work would haro been thus speedily rc arranged in complete order.

It is the thorough disciplinei'of labor each department bylftseif that gives Mr. Sloan the power to concentrate in a day tlie work of a week. Police. ok tiik Frying Pan into tup. Fire.

Launcelot McGarrity, a bar keeper in the employ of Patrick Crane, liquor denier in South Brooklyn, was arraigned before Justice Comwcll yesterday ofiernoon, on the charge of Etabhing David Mahony. About two weeks since Mahony called in Crane's place, and after taking ono or two drinks commenced quarreling, and struck the bar keeper wiih a coal shovel. The latter drew a pen knife and stabbed him in several places. The evidence brought forward being deemed insufficient, McGarrity was discharged, but was immediately afterarrestcd on the complaint of his laleemplover, who charges him with the embezzlement of about $H0O. On this charge McGarrity was committed for examination.

This forenoon the charge of embezzlement came tip for a hearing, Mr. D. C. AVintlow conducting the prosecution, Mr. S.

D. Morris, the defence. Mr. Crane took the sland, and his reason for suspecting McGarrity was that the receipts at the bar after he had discharged him wero ten dollars a week greater than when McGarrity attended the bar. no bad notwithstanding employed Mm again last Xovember.

Case on when the reporter left. A Derthabi.e Nriohhor. David Konan has the bad luck lo reside under Ihe one roof tree with Edward Cu sack, who when half filled with whiskey, is ready to explode iike a fluid lamp. He came into David's apartment on Saturday night, and tried hard to raise a fight with one John Gardiner, who took no notico of the ruffian and walked out. He then turned upon Ronan's wife and beat her with a chair within an inch of her life, and then smashed the doors and windows.

A warrant for the' ferocious scoundrel's arrest was granted. Violation of OimiNACE. Stephen McElroy, who has done more lhan any other resilient to convert the Oih AVard into another Cincinnatti, was this morning fined $10 or 10 ysfor keeping an establishment of 35 un permittedhngs. The Mayor suspended judgment on condition that the brigade shall be broken up on or before tho 1st of April next. A Brace of i tries.

Susan McEvoy and Margaret McNabb were sent to Kings County Jail for 3 months for furiously assaulting Frcdk. Menreick on the 23d February upon the Clove ltoad, without any provocation whatever. It appears that these Amazons were ripe for mischief, bent on pitching into the first person they met, 'o happened to be the defendant, whose hair they tore in addition to severely beating him. Hallucination. Jlenry Ducker, a powerfully built man, has got a crotchet his head that that his wife wants to get rid of him, on the strength of which he beat and abused her unmercifully.

Mother in law, coming to the rescue, came in for a share of his delicate attentions. He was convicted and sent to the Penitentiary for months. If there were any foundation for his surmises, bis folks are under obligation to him for thus carrying out their wishes. The Inquest upon the Body ol Ann. Burch resumed Close of the Official Inquiry The adjourned inquest upon the body of Ann Burch, 18 yearB of age, who died on Friday night last in the City Hospital, from personal injuries caused by the explosion of a fluid lamp on being lighted by the deceased in the house of Mr.

AVm. Talman, 8th Btreet, near 3rd Avenue, on the evening of the 7th was taken up and closed yesterday afternoon, before Coroner Horton at the Hospital. The inquest, iWvili be in recollection, was commenced on Saturday morning, and adjourned on account of a statement of an extra oidinary nature made to the resident Surgeon by the ill fated girl's mother shortly after being admitted. The nature of the statement, and how far it was founded on fact, the evidence must determine. Mr.

AVni. Talman, in whose house the unfortunate occurrence took place, attended the inquiry, but as he was from home at the time, he, ot coui si', et old throw no light upon it, and was not examined. Dr. Ferrn was first examined, and his testimony went to this extent tlial shortly after Hie admission ol' Ann Burch, her mother had staled to him that Ann had said to lier that when her clothes were on (Ire, Mr. Spader had asked her to go out of doors that Mr.

SpatfcrhaU pushed her out, and then proceeded to throw water upon her aud eui'ceetk'd in putting the Arc out. Bridget MeVay sworn (This witness appeared to be remarkably obtuBe) I have been in Mr.Talman's service nenriy a month, and recollect the day Ann Burch took fire; I was on the second floor at the time, and on looking down the stairs saw her in flames; ran down tho stairs but did. nothing; followed her out into tho back yard, relumed and got a pail of water and tlirew it upon the girl; she was then silting by the cistern; at ihis time two s'range men came into llieyard and they threw the water I drew upon Ann; the girl was removed to the house by the men; 1 assisted in removing her and undressed her in her own room, and left Mrs. Henry Talman wiih lier. (This lady resides next house to Mr.Wm.

Tollman's.) Saw Ann again that night, after tho doctor came; Ann's mother and a good many others took care of her; her sister was there also; Ann was removed to the hopital ne ddy af er the accident; it was on a Saturday; Ann said the liighl atler she was burned that it xcas too bad the had to go out of doors; didn't hear any one order her out of doors saw Mr. Spader tho day Ann was burnt at the foot or the stairs; ho took up the mat and put it about her legs; he tried to put the tire out as well as he could but didn'tsucceed; this was when Ann was going out through the door; didn't hear him tell her to go out; Ann never complained to me about the lamps being out of order; don't know whether the lamp bursted or not, but I saw it broken after the lire. To a Juror Can't say whether the girl went out of he own accord or not; the tire was put out in the yard; gav Ann a drink after assisting her to her room: gave her a drink about five limes during the night; tilled the lamps once myself, and did not see anything amiss with them; Ann's sisier was sent for that night. Miss A nnie, Spader morn Says, I reside with Mr. Talman, and was standing on the lirst floor when I first aw Ann Burch in flames; I called to Mr.

George Spader, who ran down siairs to where Ann was; can't say whether I went down siairs at that time or not, but ihink not until the flames were all out; Ann was in a sitting position, Mr. Spader right in front of her; saw Mr. Henry Talman throwing water upon Ann; she said to Mr. Spader, rolling up her eyes. "For God's save me;" she was a smart girl; never saw her in liquor; never saw her mother before that night; did think the mother was under the influence of liquor Hie evening Ann was burnt; didn't noiice the lamps particularly; the one she had exploded was in perfect order; Ann told Mrs.

Talman that when she lit the lamp it blazed up and she threw it upon the middle of the floor and tried to put It out with her clothes, failing in which she stamped on it with her foot, and then her clothes took lire; she had been in the habit of handling the lamps very carelessly, and had been cautioned by Mrs. Talman and myself. George Xjmder sworn, says My attention was aroused on the day of die accident by a cry of fire, rushed outand saw the hall in a blaze; ran down stairs and got tho matting around the girl, but the burning clothes pressing against her flesh, she was too strong for me, and throwing her arms around me said "for God's sake save several pails of water were thrown upon her behind tho cistern; can't say in the excitement whether 1 told her to go out or not; Mr. Henry Talman and another Henry, a gardener, assisted in putting out the tire; I did all that lay in my power to save the girl, but had not forethought enough to put my overcoat round her. which was at hand on ine instant; assisted in carrying Ann down next morning to a warmer room, which the doctor had recommended; she thanked me and said nly for me sin; would have been burned to death; can't say "whether I told the girl lo go ovC or not, but as to pushing her out, I never did anything of that sort.

Ann Burch (mother of deceased) sworn, says I live on the corner of Baltic and Butler; Ann Burch, the deceased, was my daughter; the night she was burnt a Mr. Mac came to my house afterl2 o'clock, and said "Ann is burned to death;" I went to Mr. Talman's and saw Ann in bed: mother," said she, "I am burned to death." I said "I wish you had been, honey, rather than the way you ore" meaning that she wou'd be out of pain; asked her how it happened. "Mother," said she, "they pushed me out, and told me to roll myself in the snow, and there was no snow; not one of them came near me; told Geo. Spader to put the overcoats round me, and he said he didn't want to burn his coat, and that one was enough to be burned, and that only for Mrs.

Henry Talman she would have perished." That lady" (poiuting to Miss Spader) told me that she and Mrs. Tatman had cautioned Ann about the lamps as they were dangerous. (Miss Spader said she never bad said so.) No other evidence was forthcoming and the Coroner gave the case to the jury, which after a short consultation rendered a verdict that Ann Burch had died from burns occasioned by the bursting of a fluid lamp, and that her death was accidental.

NEW BOWEKY, New York. Bietddat of Freedom Harlequin Jack, the Giaxt Killeb The Noble Boi.biek. TUESDAY EVENING, FEB. 20. The Opera.

To night Bellini's beautiful arid favorite opera I Puritani" will be given at the Montague st establishment. A wag might feel inclined to siy that the very name of this opera should be sufficient to attract an immense audience iu this latitude, independent of the intrinsic merit of the work, and the admirable distribution which iB decided upon. The cast embraces Miss Hinklcy Who will assume the role of Elvira, the brilliant music of which will afford a fine opportunity for the display of the excellencies of her charming Voice. Signor Stigelli also makes his re entree as Arthur, to the high gratification of that excellent artist's numerous friends and admirers. Signor 33arili also makes hi3 first appearance as Walton and no doubt will afford an admirable support to SuBini who appears in the role of Sir George.

We are anxious to hear their rendering of the "Saon' la tromba" and Mis3 Hinkley's "Son virgin vezzo sa." "The Puritans" is a splendid weli Cast we should judge, and ought to attract a brilliant and crowded audience. Our musical people should remember that the management adhere to their announcement that they will not lepoat the operas already performed; and so, they should not neglect the opportunity afforded them this evening of heaing this truly beautiful We understand that in compliance with numerous applications, the manage ment will produce the Don Giovanni at the end of the week. This is but right; and while the management thus display their good sense iu consulting the taste of the Mozartites, they must not orqet that the Verdi ites are in large are very anxious to hear the Traviata, as also, are others for the production of Donizetti's splendid Favorita.

The body of a full grown female child, about nine months old, was found in the water near the Club House at the foot of Court street, yesterday afternoon. A verdict to that effect was returned on the inquest. Eekious Accident.

Yesterday morning, while at work on the corner of 25th street and 4th avenue, Thomas Fleming, laborer, had his leg broken by a fall of earth upon him from the em.bankm.eut He was conveyed to the City Hospitalby officer Brown. Burglary. The house of Mr. Thomas Messenger, No. 17 Pierrepont street was entered on Monday evening, by means of false keys, while thefamily were at supper, and robbed of jewelry Valued at $250.

Sarah Harper was admitted ou Saturday night with a broken leg, and yesterday morning Thomas Ply. mouth waB received, a similar accident having befallen him by the caving in of a bank of earth while at work near Greenwood Cemetery. The Knife.

An affray occurred in State street, about 12 o'clock on Sunday night, between James Burke and a man named Gannon, in which the former was stabbed in the right side, causing injuries of a serious character. Liquor is said to have been the impelling cause. Fires. The alarm of fire at half past 12 o'clock yesterday afternoon, was caused by a fire In the Btone yard of Mr. James Sharkey, corner of Sd avenue near 27th street.

Damage trifling. About the same hour in the morning, officer Kerrigan fliscovered a fire in an unoccupied blacksmith Bhop in the rear of No. 101 Front street. Damage trifling. This fire was undoubtedly the work of an incendiury.

Inquest: This morning Coroner Horton held an inquest upon the body of James Clarke, who died about 7 o'clock last night at his residence No. 222 Front street, near Hudson avenue, at the early age of 28 years. Verdict, died of congestion of the lungs. The deceased was a widower, and a hard drinker. We publish an appeal in behalf of the application made by the Society for Improving the Con ditiou of the Poor.

Of course there are many cases of suffering from want at all times in our city, and the Society furnishes relief to many deserving people. But we are still impressed With the belief that the total amount of destitu tion iu the city is less than the average of any winter for many jeiirs. Political kitt living has become so common as to attract very little attention from outsiders, hut We were not a little surprised yesterday afternoon upon seeing an ex Alderman and prominent Democrat of a certain AVard, ot a long distance from this office, who hud succeeded in "raUiiu hi Jiitc" and was seated astraddle the penk of tlie roof of Ms house, holding on to the string with apparently as much satisfaction as the same amusement gave hirn in his boy hood days. We imagine that that man often repeats with a sigh the title of the old song, would I were a hoy again." All's Well that Ends Well. It is understood Hint on Saturday morning representatives Of the Central and City Railroad Companies met Bt the cilice of tne latter, and considered the Bubject of difference between the corporations relative to the use of Furman street.

of interested patties were present. A compro. mise was at length agreed upon, securing the rights ol both companies on the street, without the intervention ot the legislature, and without iurther litigation. The right of the City Company to cross Atlantic street was guaranteed. VAiWENnoFv's Readings.

It will be noticed that though a number of indictments for illegal liquor selling comes before this Court enough indeed, if the cases wero all tried, to occupy tho entire attention of the public prosecutor and the Court they are all quickly disposed of. The action of the Court in imposing a fine of $15 or 25 days in jail, has we perceive elicited some comment. Generally a plea of guilty is entered in consideration of this leniency, but in all cases Ihe accused are obliged lo testify under oath that they mean to and will abandon the business until they can secure license. It is claimed that under the law this Court has no power to bo so lenient and that a line of $100, as by statute provided, should be exacted. We perceive by a decision recently published that Judge Kmott, presiding in Oyer and Terminer, has held that the Court has no jurisdiction, and the full fine must be imposed.

Judge Garrison holds and acts upon the contrary opinion, In case the business is continued and another indictment has been found, additional punishment is imposed. We believe the effect in all eases lias been to break up the business. For licenses and lines the eouniy revenues this year we should think will be $16,000 or $17,000 from the liquor men, and now that the jaw is not allowed lo remain a dead letter we should not be surprised if the Excise Commissioners should receive in May next when they hold their annual session doubly Ibis sum. Lust year we believe few, if any, who applied for licenses were refused them, and there is therefore no excuse. The license fee is $25, and it is believed there are retail liquor dealers in this county if all look out license it would amount to thesum which would be quite an item of revenue.

The recognizances of the following persons indicted for this offence, which were declared forfeited, were opened attheinsia ce of Ihe District Attorney: Thomas Me Gleiichy, l'alrick Mclnlyre, Paul O'Neil, and CbarlCj Martin. On Saturday Superintendent of Hie Poor Itipley applied to tins court for an order lo compel Koland K. fio.ue, to contribute lo the support of his inoiher, Catherine lioatc, an old lady of CO, who whs born in Ireland, and who is now. it is alleged, a partial burthen on the county. She lias five children, of which Koland is one, John G.

Itoale is another, and he has contributed $1 a week to her support out of a salary of $10, since last fall when he got married, and before that lime he had supported her altogether. Koland lias a salary, it is alleged, of nearly twice as much naliis brother, and his wife it was stated had considerable property which Koland had a chance of turning to advantage in his position, still he refuses to eoniriliu'c lo bis mother's support. It was denied that his wife was possessed of any properly, and he alleges in extenuation that be offered to contribute if bis two sisters, both married and botli well off, did tho same; that his salary is $660; he has a chance of making a Utile more, but ultogeiher he earns no more than is requisite to tho support of his himily. The court remarked that tho married sisters were not legally obliged to contribute, their exist er.ee having been merged in their husbands. He thought under the circumstances, lie should have done something for his mother, and prevented this case from coming into court, he therefore adjudged him to pay $2 i a week for her support, together with that of her daughter, an invalid, besides paying ihe expense of this application.
