AirarSpwrjoplWintiRalityb8pTe te ship builders some frails on their part recently brought to light show that it is possible to cheat in the build of a vessel.

Frauds are perpetrated in the measurement by the following ingenious dodge. When the Custom House his Deputy, came on board to measure a ship, the builder's foreman was always on hand to hold one eDd of the measuring tape, 'Iter 05yle found Henry Otlln. a bar beeper of the Forsyth' House In New York, In a state of obliviousness last evening, and had him taken to tho First PreCinct Station House. He also discovered Thomas Beeth om in a similar state, and took care of him in the same way. Both were brought before Justice Cornwall this morning, and each was fined $11 50.

Discharged. Two girls named Jane Marrin and Ann Garvin, were brought beforo Justice Voorhlos oh tho charge of passing or attempting to pass a counterfeit $5 bill on the Ocean Bank or the City of New York, at the store of Mr. Newman in Fulton stroct It appears that Jane had received tho counterfeit bill from her former employer, a man named Burgess, residing In Gowanus, where she had been at service. Ann accompanied her to the Savings Bank to deposit what money they had. Tho clerk told Jane that tho bill was a counterfeit, when she went to the store and attempted to get rid of it and was arrosted.

There was no complaint against Ann, and a number of witnesses appearing who proved thoir' good character, arid the fact that tho accused had received the money honestly, induced the Justice'to dismiss tho complaint. LaIer from tbi PAOHTCr 'The mail steamship Central America with the California mall of July 20 and $1,241,055 in treasure, arrived at this port last We receive, by this two weeks' later news from California, Oregon, the Sandwich Islands, New Grenada, Central' America and the South Pacific. The news from California is interesting chiefly in regard to State politics. The Republican and Democratic con ventions, for the nomination of. State officers, had been held.

The Republicans nominated Hon. Edward Stanley for Governor. Democratic nominee for the same office is Senator Wel ler. The Republican Convention passed resolutions deprecating the introduction of slavery on the Pacific coast, declaring the right of Congress to prohibit slavery in the territories, and urging the necessity of a speedy construction of the Pacific railroad. In the Democratic Convention, a desperate effort was made to condemn the action of the Vigilance Committee, but it failed to meet a response.

The proceedings of the Democratic body were entirely in the hands of the anti Broderick party. 1 he intelligence from the mines is encouraging. Suits had been commenced against members of the Vigilance Committee by the Greens, who laid their damages at $50, 000. Advices from San. Juan del Norte to the 2d inst.

The Bogota journals are much concerned at flying from pillar of the City Hall, N. announced that the furniture in all the offices in the City Hall, paintings, would be sold at 10 o'clock this morning by the Sheriff. This property together: with the engines and apparatus of the Fire Department, was levied on to satisfy the judgment of Robert W. Lowber against the city for $200,000, with a few thousands additional for costs. There was a somewhat large attendance of curious lookers on to witness the selling out, but ihey were doomed to disappointment.

At the request of the Corporation Counsellor, R. W. Busteed, the sale waa postponed for a week. The judgment cannot be set aside and the city must pay the money but Mr. Comptroller Flagg would see the city sold out before he would pay one cent.

Mr. Busteed is going to try the effect of a course of legal proceedings on the tenacious old gentleman. A special meeting of the Common Council is to be called, and a resolution passed to authorise the Counsellor to proceed against the Comptroller, where he will serve a writ of mandamus on Mr. Flagg to compel him to pay Mr. Lowber's claim and save the city property.

Fire in Eighth Avenue. Loss over $15,000. About ten o'clock last night, a fire" broke out sn the tbree stery building, No. 348 Eighth Avenue, N. Y.

first and second floors occupied by George Keys, as a dry goods establishment, third story by John Demarest as a dwelling, and shirt bosom manufactory. The fire originated on the first floor, and was caused by some goods comiDg in contact with a lighted' gas burner. The firemen were early on the ground, but before they could extinguish the flames, the building and stock were considerably damaged. The loss of Mr. Keys by fire and water, is roughly csslmated at $15,000, He is partially insured, but in what companies we could not ascertain on account of his absence from the The loss of Mr.

Demarest is estimated at about one thousand dollars. Insured for $1,300 in the Corn Exchange Insurance Company. The building owned by Mr. George Ross, is damaged to the amount of $1,500. Insured.

Woman is an excellent institution, indispensible in a measure to the happiness and perpetuity of the human race but it is possible to have too much of a good thing. In New England they have an average of twenty five per cent, more women than men five women to four men As very few men except Wall street shavers and Broadway bar tenders can support one woman now a days, they must necessarily be in a bad way down east. Kalloch tried to remedy the difficulty by showing how a man might minister to the wants and comforts of more than one female, but he had like to have got himself into a difficulty by it.

Single men can't travel through Massachusetts except under escort and it is absolutely necessa ry to the safety of a man who goes abroad to take his own wife or somebody elses along for protec tion. This practice sometimes leads to mistakes in hotel registers and divorce suits, which leads outsiders to think that morals are at a low ebb in the land of steady eabits it ib only an excess of dry goods in the market. Held a Convention. The Dentists held a convention in New York last week. The subjects discussed were highly interesting.

Dr. Baker of Portsmouth, N. thougrht that the main cause of defective teeth was the use of saleratus in bread. Dr. Baker had tried an experiment of soaking sound teeth in a solution of saleratus, and found that they were destroyed in fourteen days.

Dr. Harris of Baltimore, believed that a healthy man. almost always possesses a good set of teeth, aud vice versa. To the action of acids generated in the mouth he attributed the decay of teeth in general. Cleanliness, he said, is the great preventive against decay and loss.

The reason that seamen have poorer teeth than others he attributed to the action of the salt water on the atmosphere, and of the atmosphere on the teeth. There was nothing new in Mrs. Cunningham's case this morning; the excitement about. her ha3 subsided now it is certain she will not elude justice through the technicalities of the law, at least for the present, She is still at 31 Bond st. but her removal to the Toombs will take place shortly.

The time is not mentioned, as it desirable that she should be conveyed there without attracting public notice. Recorder Smuti befuses to bail Mrs. Cunningham. a. short time before the adjournment of the General Srssions yesterday, William R.

Stafford, counsel for Mrs. Cuuniajrham in the issues and trials growing out of the late Bond street affair, appeared before Recorder Smith, and offered amotion that his Honor allow Mrs. Cunningham bail in the matter of her present imprisonment. The sime application had a short time before been made to Judge Daly and refused, but not, as Mr. Stafford understood, for any reason connected with the merits of the application, Mr.

Hall, who appeared in opposition, differed as to the construction to be put upon the reasons given by Judge Daly for his decision. The District Attorney contended that Judge Daly refused bail because he questioned his power to grant it, and also because he refused to interfere with the other magistrate's adjudication in regard to Mrs. Cunningham. Tue question was argued at considerable length by counsel on both sides. After argument the Recorder denied the motion of Mr.

Stafford for bail. Ho said he had never interfered where bail had been refused by a magistrate upon full evidence, and he considered trat he had no right to interfere, unless there was evidence showing special oppression in the case. The Recorder further took occasion to remark that in about three fourths of tho cases where bail was admitted it should not be and would not bj upon matureand proper reflection. The motion was denied. The Grand Jury did not indict Mrs.

Cunningham as was expected. They had not time to examine the witnesses. "The Barks is in Him." The New York Examiner pulishes a communication which opens with the following pithy anecdote "Many years ago an amusing little incident ocurred in our small village, which, from its applicability to things of more importance impressed itself on my memory. A little lad in crossing the street in front of my uncle's house to a small 'dry goods aud grocery store' on the other side, was frightened by the violent barking of a large dog near the shop, and had not courage to proceed. The owner silenced the dog and then bade the child come on, as there was now no danger.

'Ah said the fellow, casting a dubious glance at the object of alarm, 'the barks is in him The expression passed into a sort of proverb in our family, as a pithy statroeat of the truth, that the nature remains the same, whatever the outward seeming, and may bo expected to manifest itself at any favorable TWi Paper lias tHe licuracst Ctrenlrtloti of 1 a tt any jsvemnR "per puwiiwiou vum State, lu value an Advertising Medium "5 therefore apparent.

Gerrlt Smith and bU Colored Friends. This has published a letter in which he reverts to a gift of land which he made some time ago to colored people and expresses his disappointment at the result. Many of them sold off the property thus acquired being too indolent to labor the land others had not energy or pluck enough to bring it into the market but allowed it to be sold for taxes. Hardly one could be induced to settle down or become industrious, respectable and independent, though ample means had been placed within their reach. There is one thing Mr.

Smith neglected to do, which led to the failure of the whole project he ought to have sent white men to work the land and then he might have calculated on establishing a right merry colony. The result of this experiment is but another proof of the undoubted fact that the colored race lack that foresight, energy and readiness to encounter immediate difficulties with a view to future results which distinguish the white race. They have not stamina sufficient to establish Vermanent institutions instead of progressing when left to themselves they invariably retrograde. We do not state these facts as arguments in favor 'at slavery, but as hearing against the insane and fanatical projects urged by'Mr. Smith and his political associates of the immediate, violent emancipation of three and a half millions of a thriftless race who, as soon as the pressure of compulsion was withdrawn, would siu.k at once into idleness and pauperism.

If it is found impossible, by the most liberal encouragement, to imbue any number of the free blackB of this State with habits of self sustaining industry what would become of the blacks of the South if liberated and what would be the consequences to themselves and the white laborers among whom they would have to live "It is not for usr to solve these difficultities bu it is the duty of those who keep up an incessant cry for emancipation to adopt some plan by which, in case of the success of that project sv can be avoided. Bondage or involuntary ivitude is a condition which nobody is particu anxious to perpetuate but its toleration sn evil than it would be to convert one hslf of wk Tfclrr hito another West Indies, and throw upon ihc oilier i swarm of lazy incumbrances, who would be the objects of universal prejudice avid disfavor, cad while acting as an incubus oa tfc supir'ur race would be themselves in a wor. cundition than they are at pre. sent. Our people axe benevolent and libertv kving, but they prefer to mix a slight portion cf common scuse in their speculations and look little beyond the tips of their noses in, acting ipon groaf public questions.

DS. Ca'TLIV AM) THE MEDICAL PROFESSION. Whit public iintioTi, curiosity and reprobation seem ti? female actor in the ls.te Bond street dmiun, it is proper to take note of the male medical accomplice and the position in Waichhe stands, as well as the feeling his conduct should inspire. This Catlin occuppied the Ending of a regular medical practitioner had he been one of the avowed quacks who present their claims to the victims and patrons of debauchery and crime through the columns of obscene newspapers, his part in the Burdell infamy would have been quite in keeping with his professional and social Btatus. But, if we mistake not, he was a physician' in regular practice and as such, must have been admitted to the bosoms of families as a confidential adviser.

It would also appear that he was a member of the KiDgs County Medical Association, If such be the case has that Society called a special meeting to expel the black sheep from the flock or if not, why do the members delay in purging the body of all trate of the reptile's slime Bvery profession is capable of being abused. The press, has not always been able to clear its skirts of contact ifith the disciples of black mail the legal profession is disgraced by the harpies, shysters and pettifoggers, who swarm around the inferior courts and the practioe of medicine is made the tool of the charlatan and quack. But there is always a line of sufficient distinctness between the honorable member of any of these orofher respectable professions and the wretched pretenders who. hang around their outskirts It is only when a miscreant with the instincts aud propensities of rascality grounded into his nature succeeds in covering himself with the genuine mantle of a respectable calling, and finds it an "open sesame" to public confidence hat ho becomes a nuisance, whose polluting presence becomes fraught with danger and whom is the duty of society to extirpate. It is needless to point out the extent to which such an individual can jeapordise the peace aud welfare oi society.

Admitted within the family circle necessarily cognisant of delicate secreU which he may pervert to the vilest purposes be is a serpent in the paradise of domestic peace. Few offenses against morality or against human ite out can be perpetrated by his aid. What bs been accomplished and suspected in the par ticular case to which we have referred may furnish an idea of what may be done where such characters are the actors. It therefore becomes too duty of the medical profession to wash its hands of all connection with wretches who prostitute it to vile purposes, and of society at large to sit the stamp of infamy and perpetual ostracism on such characters.

Major Bollins, who, 'according to reports, has just been elected Qovemor of Missouri, defined his position on the emancipation question, in a' recent speech in St. Louis as foIlowB Now, in regard to my opinion on tlie subject of emancipation." 1 hear it said, occasionally, that Missouri is destined to be a free State. very well, I am in favor of leaving ques' tion to higher than human laws, and I am iu fa vor of submitting that question to the laws of climate, of emmigration, (good, good, good, strong enthusiagm,) of. labor, and of production, which, first or last, affects the destinies of man and Commonwealths, and 'to the clear guidance of him who does all things well. (Beiiewed marks of enthusiasm.) Now, I am in fayor of labor in our State protecting the labor, of this, great city and of the entire commonwealth in which we live.

I am in favor of iuvifihg and encouraging emigration to Missouri from every part. (Cheers.) I say, let us throw wide open our doors and invite here men of the north, of the south, and, men of every tongae and kindred upon the inhabitable globe. (Applause. Invite them here to cultivate our praries, to till pur land, to aid in developing our mineral resources, to aid us in filling up our great cities, and in making Missouri the proudest and noblest commonwealth in this sisterhood. of States and if, my this cordial system ot emigration from north and south if, I say, this emigration in.

the course of years brings about such a disproportion between the white and black races, that it is no longer the interest of the people of Missouri to continue it a slave State, I Bay, "then let it go." (Tremendous cheers.) These are my opinions, my. friends. I hide them from no one. I do not wish to war with a man, however, because he differs with me. upon the subject.

I do not wish te war. with a man because he is an emancipationist. That is the better and the wisest policy. My opinion is, that in consequence of the agitation that such a question will awaken in the State, and in consequence of the face chat we occupy a hh northern latitude here in consequence of the fact that the disproportion between the white and black races is' becoming greater and greater and of the fact that in course of. time in ten, twenty, or fifty years, most probably it will, become the interest of the slaveholder himself to stay the current of population in the State of Missouri, that it is better to do without this institution I say that, in consequence all these laws and considerations and causes now operating, it would be best to let the question alone.

A Case of Insanity on the Cabs. Attempt at Self Destruction. We learn from Mr. John Morris, baggageman on the Terra Haute, Alton, and St. Louis Railroad, that a man who took a seat at Terra Haute in the cars bound westward, made several attempts on the way to commit suicide.

That this was his purpose, and that his mind was unsound, appeared from the insanity of his conduct on several, occasions. When the cars were between Passamund and Nokomi, speeding on at the rate of forty, five miles per hour, observed the stranger walk along the platform outside the car, and deliberately throw himself headlong from it. He rolled over and over very rapidly forward, and then down the embankment a considerable distance. The brakeman pulled the bell cord instantjy, and the cars were stopped and backed, when th5 stranger was seen crawling up the embankment, and to lay his head deliberately on the track, as if expecting the cars to crush it. But the cars were stopped in time, and several men carried him on board.

To the repeated questions that were put to him he paid no attention, neither giviDg his name nor complaining of any hurt received in his mad leap. He attempted twice afterwards to get out of one of the windows, and drew a knife from his person, and almost succeded in wounding himself with it, but he was too closely watched to effect anything agatest himself or others. In crossing the Mississippi, he struggled to get to the window of the omnibus, doubtless with desire to throw himself out. He was taken to the police office, but refused, by preserving an unbroken silence, to give his name or other information of himself. He had a carpet sack and $12 85.

These were taken care of, and he was placed in the calaboose till noon, when he was removed to the Sisters' Hospital. The task of removing him required all the strength of two sturdy policemen. Though small, he resisted desperately, still saying not a word. He is about 40 years of age. Nothing on his person indicates clearly who or whence he is.

From certain papers he is thought to be a piano tunist, and to have been at some time in Indianapolis. His condition was probably caused by a compulsory absence of some hours from strong drink. "We cannot learn that he has uttered a syllable since taken in charge. Is he a mute Scandalous. Tho following, which we copy from the Cincinnati Commercial will serve to show how things are done in the "Queen city" of the West "A little piece of scandal came to our ears yesterday, and as it is creating considerable talk, and is altogether rather amusing, at least to outsiders, we cannot refrain from printing it.

It appears that, about a year ago, the son of a Fifth street merchant went to one of the Eastern States, where he wooed and won a very pretty youDg lady, whom he induced to bear his name and come home with him. Since his return they have been living in his father's house, all in peace and quietness, the son in great ecstasies over the attention his father paid his wife, and perfectly overjoyed to think that his wife so doated on his father. Well, to be brief, last Monday morning the father and daughter in law came up missing, and remain "strayed or stolen" up to this writing. The old sinner leaves a wife and several married children, and the daughter in law a three months' old baby boy. They went aw ly abundantly provided with money, and ere this are safely out of reach.

"So wags tho world while the measurer held the other. The latter suspecting no foul play, did not watch, the foreman, who, having received instructions from the builder, made the vessel measure as he was di rected. ThuB ships were registered hundreds of tons more than their capacity and ratiag this loss at $60 per ton, the commercial valuation the swindle became expensive. TheBe frauds have been perpetrated for a number of years, un detected. Becently a merchant was defrauded in this way i a down east builder, to the tunc of $.12,000.

Another and more dangerous specitB of fraud, as it jeopardises human life, is in the fastening. Last '11 one of the ships of this builder was repaired in thi3 port, when it was discovered, on taking out gome of the hanging knees between decks, that only four or five bolts in them went through the timbers though the heads of sixteen bolts were visible on the outside of each knee. Affray between Thieves. An affray occurred on board the Fall River Boat Empire City, at Pier No. 3, North River, yesterday afternoon.

It appears that two thieves had been engaged in a successful robbery one keeping watch while the other lifted the funds. The one with the money took one course and the other another, so as to avoid suspicion. The man with the money, however, made himself scarce, and thinking himself out of the reach of his compa nion, engaged passage for Boston. Sometime before the boat left, the 6windler thief espied the man he was looking for sitting on the deck He went up to him, and peremptorily demanded his share of the proceeds, which was refused, when he draw a revolver and suot the man with the money in thy hip. Both ran on shore, the blood from the wounded man dripping along the deck and gaDgway, and the greatest onsterna tion prevailed among the passengers.

A policeman on shore took one of them into custody, and after conducting him a short distance, told him to go, and there the matter ends so far. The Commissioners of Emigration held an inte resting meeting yesterday. The Special Committee appointed to examine and report upon the fitness of the hospital at Seguine's Point for a temporary Quarantine, unanimously reported the building unsuitable, and the Board, at their suggestion, declined taking charge of it until proper accommodations were afforded. The report of the Committee is quite strong, and will no doubt provoke a rejoinder from the Quarantine Commissioners. An interesting report was read by Mr.

Garrigue, relative to the emigrant laws aud their effects upon the passenger traffic between New York and Havre. The emigration this year has been 117,151, against 82,038 for the same period last yeir. Further prom Europe We have received by telegraph from Halifax, a few further partial. lars of the great English race for the Goodwood Cup. The French horse Monarque won by a head.

It is not stated how far Prior and Prior ess were behind they were simply placed fifth and sixth on the list but from the fact that the horse placed third was three lengths behind the horse placed second, and the horse placed fourth was an equal distance behind the one placed third, we infer that that the American horses were badly beaten. We observe in a paper called the Slaten Island Chronicle, an account of a visit of a large number of including "reporters ot nearly all the papeis of New York," on which occasion they were sumptuously feasted and champagned, dined and wined but the junket failed to briDg the New York papers over to the views of the Commissioners. The Chronicle, however, praises the site as being fine rolling prairie land, and not the swamp or morass represented; He also eulogises the cold collation and the champagne which he pronounces excellent. A Missing Policeman Found. On Sunday, the 2d instant, Walter Jarvoe, a policeman of the 7th ward, N.

disappeared. A few days since the body of an unknown man was washed asbore at Biyridge. Coroner W. Burnett held an in quest on the body, and the usual stereotyped verdict of an unknown man found drowned was rendered, and the remains interred. The body has since been identified by the description given and by the articles on bis person as that of the policeman.

The body will be exhumed and a medical examination had, as foul play is suspected. Tub Great Eastern.

Ju3lH" the opinion of Lord Palmerston on the New Granadian question, as lately expressed in a speech in the British Parliament, They attribute his lordship's sentiments to the character of the New Granadian representatives at the Court of bt. Jams. From Peru we learn that there had been another attempted revolution. Numerous battles are reported to have taken place between the Government troops and those. of Vivanco.

The latter claim the victory on appears to us very slender grounds. From Chili there is no news of any importance. In Bolivia the elections had terminated in favor of the Government. We have news from Buenos Ayres and Montevideo to June 6. Contradictory stories were afloat respecting the yellow fever at the latter place.

It has not yet disappeared. A rupture between Brazil and Paraguay is apprehended, from difficulties relating to the navigation of the Paraguay Biver. A Startling Mttrder. Yesterday afternoon, between the hours of 3 and 4 o'clock, Mr. C.

W. A. Wright, a gentleman connected with Toby's Express Company, was killed as he left his boarding house, at the corner of Dauphine and Canal streets, by Mr. G. E.

Blackwood, a native of South Carolina, but a resident for many years in this city. It appears that a difficulty had existed for some time between Blackwood and the deceased, or account of some report circulated by the former. A short time since they met at a boarding house, and Blackwood retracted the words that were offensive to Wright, but since then he has vowed vengeance on the deceased, and has frequently dogged his Bteps with a view, it is supposed, to accomplish Ms object. On Friday evening, as Wright was walking with a friend, he was told of the danger that threatened and advised to prepare for the danger, but he replied, "I never carry weapons I have not even a common penknife about me." As he was dining yesterday in company with his wife, Blackwood sent up a negro boy to tell Wright he wanted to speak to him. Wright paid no attention to the message, but when the hour for returning to business arrived, he left the bouse.

Elftoltwood xuot him ot tho door, and after a short parley, knocked him down twice. As he was rising the last time, Blackwood drew a bowie knife and stabbed him to the heart, the wound penetrating fully two inches he then gave him slash across the ab dornfen, which caused the bowels to protrude. Wright's wife, who had been a witness from the balcony of the frightful scene, rushed down and caught her husband in her arms as he expired. riaciwooa was immediately arreBted by the police, though he states himself that he surrendered, The prisoner, we believe, formerly did busi ues for Uriah Pollard and others in this city. The deceased was 24 years of age, and a native of Troy, N.

An inquest Was held on the body last night, and a verdict in accordance with the above facts returned. New Orleans Times, Aug. 2. Its Friends abb Ashamed of it. We: find the following in the Troy Daily Times, which was during the last Presidential campaign one of the most zealous Fremont papers in the State The Buffalo Republic, which rendered efficient service to the cause of Fremont during the last campaign announces in the issue of Thursday its return to the Democratic ranks, The New York Times and Buffalo Express may also be considered OS lost, to the Republican party.

Other influential journals will doubtless follow soon. The fact is one which admits of no dispute, that the strength of the Republican party in this State is by no means equal to that of last fall. The unwise efforts of demagogues to prostitute to unworthy purposes tho power which was placed 'in their hands the tyrannous schemes of special legislation which disgraced the session of last; winter coupled with the fact which is becoming so apparent, that the just and popular principles embodied in the Republican platform of the last campaign, are in daoger of being mtde sec ondary to personal schemes, combine to weaken and disorganize the party and unless its unwise friends cease their internal schemes tending to dissension, it will be a question for time whether the organization which in the fall election, with Fremont at its head, swept the State by nearly one hundred thousand majority will not be iguomiously defeated in the approaching election. A Theort of the Bubdell Murder. The New York correspondent of the Boston Journal offers a new theory of the Burdell murder, aud backs it by the following statement "Not to be held to too rigid an account for the lull correctness of all I have to state not willing to be held to strict accuracy, I have good authority for saying that probably the veiled mystery of Harvey BurdeU's murder will be lifted, and the mystery be dissipated soon that the darknef of that night of crime will soon blaze with the brightness of noon day that public morality and public justice will be vindicated by the dark and terrible revelations of that hour of blood and the authorities, I am informed, have come into possession of most startling developments, which will show that secrecy in such great crimes is made impossible by the laws of God." The writer says that it will be proved that the murder was committed early in the evening, by men who had secreted themselves in the house, and one of them took, the hat and cloak of the victim and passed into the house in a manner to attract attention, at the time when he was identified as going out.

Returned Mormons. The Council Bluffs Nonpareil says that a company of returned Mormons are now encamped near that place, and that they intend to make the Bluffs their future home. They have tried tho "land of promise," and found promises more plenty than deeds. At least, than good deeds. The fair and cheering promises made to them were all worse than broken, and they subjected to restrictions more rigid than those oi Slavery, ax rue riss oi weir lives, they made good their escape..
