His payments into the treasury largely exceed all the expenses attending his of- d lice, including the salaries of the clerks and the st pay of police officers detailed to attend to the ti business of the office. Hiis own salary is $208 per L month; first clerk $125; three assistant clerks a0 $100 each. For the service of papers and pre- 01 serving order, from four to eight policemen are w required. Taking the latter number, their aggre- n gate monthly stipend is $640. The whole monthly expense of the office is about $1300, butlittle over one third of the amount he turned into the trea- O sury las: month. Mortuary lep.or-t. c] Owing to the confusion incident to the fire on h: Camp streeteyesterday, and the necessity of remov ing the books and papers of the Board of Iealth, o the regular daily returns of deaths were not comn- S piled. We are, therefore, unable to publish this 1I morning, the usual daily report for yesterday. Grand Jury Findings. The Grand Jury of the parish have indicted al Patrick Johnson for mantslaughlter, alleged to at have been done whlde on duty as a policeman, at tI the corner of Spain and Victory streets, in killing o Edward Iteen. Recorder Letten. it will be re- Ic membered, committed tile accused to be tried for hi murder. After the finding of the Grand Jury, tI Jldge Abell fixed his bail at :3000, which lihe fur- te nibhed, and was thereupon relneasdl froti doures es of inmprisonmint. la In regard to the killing of James Meachin, in the Ir boarding hou-e of Thomans Blchan, on tle night of i the lth ult., the Grand Inquest have fuilld a true bill for muiler against llehl.l. The jury hai n1ot aI made liany pee--ntnment in rc-gerd to tie wife of in the prioner., Mrs. Mary iehllan. who w5n s ci mitted as an aCreas.ey to the holloltide, and therefore a particilpant in the crimte charged. The Fire an Calmp 8treet. The thirdl petrolenm conflagration was rester- 1 day mrni:ig, about l o'clock, inaugurated m ouh midst, and the elnilles, twelve hours after, were still playing upon tile smouldering lamnies. It It originated in the warehouse of the Petroleum w Vapor Stove Company, and of this and the store imimediately beneath It (Mr. Joseph Coulon's) there is now Inothing but vapor left to tell the tl tale. This building was in the center of the fine u block at the corner of Camp and Poydras streets, tl and at one time the general apprehension among a the crowd who were gathered below was, that the c whole block would be contsumed. The sufferers a by the fire, besides those'we have already men- st tioned, are the German (Gazette, who have at pre- fL sent more paper wet down than they will for it some time need : Messrs. Bloomfield &ESteet, who c escaped the flames, but were less lucky with the P water. We are pleased to learn that they are c partially insured. The portion of the building at I the corner of Poydras street, occupied by G. W. Sizer, was but slightly injured. The fire is variously attrilbuted to the pouring out of oil witha lamp near at hand, or to the drop- b ping of a thatch into a bucket of petroleum. As L it was a question only of time when th11 building b would be caught on fire with the latter substance t stored within, the matter is not of much con- a sequence. J There are some objections to even a petroleum t fire, but it moust be admitted that regarding the d flames merely in an aesthetic point of view, the ti effect was sublime. There was nothing to be seen u but the ordinary pointed flames for the first hour, p but once reaching, thle petroleum it suddenly a sprung fifty feet into the air like the babbling up ii of an imlense column of water, or as if the dome t of a building had suddenly been surrounded by d flame. We cannot close our account without a just b tribute to the exertions of our fire department: It has always ranked as the first in any American city, and its conduct on yesterday more than ever entitled it to be thus regarded. Inquest Upon the Body of Emile H. .ry. il In our yesterday morning's issue, we gave an S account of a man who was only known by the ti name of Emile, who was generally supposed to Le have hired a room for the purpose of committing to suicide, and who was actually found dead in bed e the day after entering. "A sealed letter," it will in be remembered, had previous to his death been tie written to the coroner and left upon the mantle- tit piece.- Aninquest was yesterday held upon'the to body, and as the verdict rendered was death from et swamp fever, the case appears a little more singu lar than we then stated. By the evidence it ap- et pears that Emile had ate a hearty dinner, and be- v fore retiring had stood up at his mantlepiece and at written a letter to the coroner, (There was no i other way of writing in the room, and he must there- .n fore have been str-ng enough to stand up.) For st what purpose was this letter written? To tell the 01 coroner in case lhe should happen to die, to give cl him a respectable burial? o1 It thus appears that a man who was sufficiently well to hunt up lodgings on foot, had a presenti- d ment of his death so vivid that he was induced to make some sort of provision for it a few hours b before the event actually occurred. The case would seem improbable in a novel, but we are in- a clined to believe that the coroner's inquest came to a right conclusion. The following is a correct copy of the letter addressed to I)r. Ilelery: 14 New OnLueus, Oct. 7,18l. c dlotsicur et Atmi--I have just retutned l!rnc a It journebyby land to Ouaehliti, where I have con traced ta had fever, whichl in spite of all the Ie remedies I have taken, l fear will end badly.

Yours dcvotedly, EMILE AM. nrY. It will be observed that the lett r was dated t td the 7th, v Ln it should have been the lith, sup ad posing it to h0e been written at hills rlm : Ill a re it appears to have been written in this city, and he only arrived in town that day, tie natural col elusion is that he made a mistake in the date. Tlle statement of tle chemist, who exatmined a certain white powder found in a sploon in his - room, was that it" was sub-nitrate of bisimuth-a medicine that might naturally have been taoken for D. his sickness. We give below the evidence of Narcisse, the deceased's landlady-the only wit ness examined: The deceased called upon me on Tuesday. atl oe noon. I demanded payment m advance. He said he would go to the Carrollton depot, in order to get his ,baggage, anl then pay ild rent. I gave v him a room uponthis assurance. In the coarse of p the dlay he went out, to get some tobacco and medicine. He seemed very ill. His legs were swollen, He ate, at 3 o'clock, a hearty dinner, and then went to his room. I never heard any b noise sincein his rooe, and thte second day. at 3 o'clock P. M., being-alarmed, I called for him at tl the window, and receiving no answer, I went in and found hin dead. I had already seen the de ceased, who had rented a roo<r from me in 1862. it Twir A.Armed. 2 Whose quarrel is just is thrice armed, says fr Shakspeare ; but George Washington having been H found with only two revolvers on his person, yes- sI terday, was thought to be altogether wrong at the Second District Lockup, and at his trial will pro- w hably not be allowed to quote Slonkspeare.

The hearing of the above case cam e on yester- m day, and furnishes about the most degrading in- m stance of depravity, according to the evidence, re that we lave yet been called to chronicle. Mr. Louis Siflert is from Aisantia, France; camne here about tel years ago as a tailor, and niarried, three I or four years afterwards, Adeline, his present wife. At odd intervals, in cases of extraordinalry necessity, he would earn his living by working at g his trade; but he generally lived at the expense cf of his wife, and that in the coet infrlonous mainer. a Once or twice he was induced to go to Mexico, I ut returlned in rags. a heavier bltlrau than ever, j and rerfuiring as mucl to get hins again started in r clothes and equipmelts as it would have coot to have kept hibl at home. LI About two years since his wife rented a house of ill-laone, and as it wan impossible to get rid ot tn Sieert, he weas tolerated about thle tremiieo. The ct latter sometirres now consented to make Iimself r uefcul in a uerliai capacity, souch a cutting wood, bringing water, etc. The revenues whieh were It dlerived ferot this infamous business he mnodestly i approipriated to himself, until his wife becoming at length utterly desperate, transferred her lease to one of her pe.Aeioeirect. Silfert, after this, tn was repeatedly heard to demand monry of her ;t Iut according to lis own statement ou tile matter, be wa- ilflueeced solely by jealousy. He says that he gaie ther the option of continuing or iot i to live hones-tly with hiri as hi wiile, and that in every agreement lie eniteer.l int- with ler she via lart:d liher word. Ar lengthi, racving received notice fromr the new lesee that hie inerlt quit the pre tei-re, theteroeity rrf hi diriiiiitirr, which is well shown in his face, becameii uncontrolable, i and without giving any previous indication of his u intention, lie commenrce the attack, which is thus to dscribed by hi:- wife : A.lt ewe ,,'i{rti.,orn-On the 1Sth day of Aug., at five in tie evening, wintess was stabbed four iutes in tile iback (in one place twice, rnrakinr tile numbner lice)by her husbaned L.,uis Sitfirtt arid while strtugling io makle .r scape she re received two other rnuwlrds in the breast and adobd en. Witness then cried for help. :t which Sigfert took a pistol in his hand and witness ran out of the room. Up to the moment he had struck her there I had been no difficulty. Since receiving the wounds she has been contined to her bed seven weeks and is yet suffering. As soon as Sifert had committed the crime, he threw his weapons and hat behind a log, hurried sl au stairs, put on another hat and then ran into a. the street. Happening to see the crowd gathered d around the drug store where his wife had been a carried, he concluded from the lifeless manner in which she was lying, that she was dead, and F seized again with terror he ran to the Old Basin, for what reason is not known, and threw himself a in, although he could not swim. With some diMli cti he was rescued, and was then carried to prison and yesterday stood his examination. The case was sent by Recorder Gastinet to the First I District Court with bail for $1.100. Charge of Embezzlement. on Mr. George F. Gordon was yesterday arraigned tit before Recorder Abhern, upon a complaint pre- er ferred by MAr. A. B. Small, charging him with em- to bezzlement. Mr. Gordon has been an agent of the Texas Express Company, and the afidavit fr< avers that, between the months of hMarch and tar July last, he appropriated to his own use about b three thousand dollars, monies which had been deposited with him as agent, by various parties, ra to be forwarded through the Express, and for i1 which the company is responsible. Mr. Gordon at, pleaded not guilty, and the case was net for ex amination on the 23d inst. Mr. Gordon, we are r informed, has hitherto mraintuined a high charac ter, and he has friends here who express a conti- tb dent opinion that the charge against him is sus- $1 ceptible of being explained in a manner leaving his honor unsullied. _ Larceny of State Boad, from the Office of the ProvostAt t.al alrn-Oelneralt. It will be remembered that upon the sorreder w of the trans Mississippi department, which closed the war, the Confederate State Government, at Shreveport, turned over t to te federal authori- co ties a large amount of the bonrds of the State of Louisiana, that had been deposited with the Audi- Pt tor of the State, byjree banks, as security for tilhe A redemption of their issues. These bonds remained at in federal possession until, through the action of re tihe legislature, last winter, a successful applica- P1 tion was made to the government at Washing- tl ton, for them, and they were transferred to the se corporations whose property they were. It appeared that while the military were the al custodians of the bonds, many of them, equal in fe value to about eighty thousand dollars, were stolen from the office of the provost marshal gen- st eral of this department. For several days a man, named E. S. Hartley, who had been engaged in some capacity, to the provost marshal general's i office, has been a prisoner, in the Iprish jail, charged with being concernued in the abstraction rt of the securities. The allidavit is made by Simon of Jones, who avers that the larceny was comunitted i during the year 186;. tl We were apprised early of this prosecution, 1 but, by request of olficmls iivestigatlig the |it affair, who supposed tlnut a public notice of it ii might prevent the are. toplisioment oI their aims to bring to accountbli!ityi pet- :s, nolt yet i cus-I tody, reputed to have II, e'o 'o ,onllnion with Hart. ley, we abstained fr.,nrl Iuriioring tile arrest.

The circumstance that he had in his possession a thousand dollars in currency, three hundred dollark in silver, and a draft on lessrs. Darby & Mouton for a thousand dollars, idndoces an apprehension that he may have been violently disposed of. He is described as being 5 years old, 5 feet 8 inches high, stoutly made, fair complexion and dark hair and moostache. Re has a sister in the city, Mrs. E. Fernandez, residing on Esplanade teet.

BOARD OF AsotANT ALDERaME N.--An extra meetiog of this board was held last evening, nine enmbers present, Mr. Higginbotham in the chair, I n the absence of President MCnulloch. Aresolution, introduced by Mr. Cunningham, to provide the river police with a uniform at the ex pense of the city, the members to return the uni term, in the eventof being dismissed from the ser vice, was laid on the table. A resolution to in pose a tax of fifteen cents a ollen onl aw dod rectified whisky, and twenty ive cents per gallon on alcohol, received at this rt and intended for consumption in the cily, lso introduced by Mr. Cunningham, was likewise aid on tihe table. A lengthy report of tihe proceedings of the joint committees of finance and streets and l]nd *ngs, during tile recess of tile council, was read. A resolution was adopted, sanctioning and rati tying the,proceedings of tile cotnmttees, except 0h granting of a privilege for a cotton pickitg press at the corner of Lafayette and Tchoupitou s streets, shich thle committee unanimously re- t commended should he rescinded, as tie boilding, r elprcsented to be iron, had only an ion front, hoe renainder wood. A resolution was unaonimously adopted approv ng tie acts of the committees, except in the instance mentioned above. A report was received from the committee on 0 treets and landings in reference to matters re hrrled to tlher. The application of the iontcllar train Railroad Company for the privilege of ex tendinc tieir road tn tile business center of the city was reported upon adversely. The report of tie committee wtas adopted. A resohlution from e e.counmittee was also adopted to sell a contract lor repairintg Washington mcarket. Mr. Cunningham, ifrn, tile eomlmittee on htehltc ind pohlee, recorted in favor of an increase of lhe le orilie ilte, in accordance with tile retom lcndatiole of tlhe lnoyr. The commcittee recom cndled tlhat one ]luindred additional men be ap itnted on tile ordinary service of the city, and ie n twl ie river force. Mr. Paisley protested against any increase, as nncceosar, anod parvticnlaly in view ao tile pred ant depleted condition of the troeasry. The ex istig force, if it performed its duty,was sufficient. Spiopositiono was beleore te Board of Alderlen, nd was likely to pas thaot board, to inc rease the ooclpelatioll or the police to e hundred dollars ier month. To give efficiency to the preront iorce, Oit by mere addition to its numerical itrength, but by securing fidelity and vigilance, houlcl be thought the pcolicy of the council. Mr. Cunninghiam instanced parts of his district hlere the police details were insufficient for pub lic protection. tMr. Paisley argued that in such parts of the mecond District, as in the Third District, the in habitants must take care of themselves. Mr. Prague suggested that the river police siould be increasert five more. That was all the addition he thought necessary, nnd he reminded ile members that a resolution to incrcase tile river torce had already been presented and passed it first reading. The recommendationof the committee was re jected. Several resolutions adopted on a first reading at previouns meetings were taken up and passod a necond reading, as follows : To grant B. O. Caunfleld the privilege of erecting a distillery, at the corner of Thoupitoulas and Orange streets. To appropriate five hundred dollars for the re lief of tile tamily of lMr. Walgamotll, a police o-ffi cer, who died of exhaustion, caused by his exer tions in suppressing the riot of the 30tl July.

A resolution from the Board of Aldermen to gi appropriate $971 60, to compensate the State tax bt assessors for enrolling the militia of the city, was concurred is. at Also a resolution from the upper board appro- tf priatsng $500 for the relief of the Home ofthe Aged and Infirm, was concurred in. Likewise a resolution from the upper board vi authorizing the surveyor to perform certain work m reqtired for the drainage of the Fair Grounds, provided the expense does not exceed $500. gs The resolutions which passed a first reading at o0 the last meeting were taken up and put on a second reading as follows : Directing the street commissioner to plant trees d along all the draining canals.

C To the Editor of the ew Oleans Crescent: I I take tire liberty of callingyour attention to some samples of cotton which I have just reheived frot the country, and which I submit to your ex amination, and that of your readers and cotton planters in general. tihe Monterey long staple silk cotton, but lately called the Tippehaw, by a correspondent in De 1 Bow's Review, was introduneed into Louisiaa fron Mexico by my friend Mr. Eugene B. Olivier, I of St. Mary parish, La., who first cultivated the saume in 1o86, and has again resumed its sultire this year. The staple is nearly as long and as silky as the Sea Island cotton: the bollts are thick on tIe bush, and in rainy weather do not fal as easily as those of the ordinary cotton. They do not open all at the saute time, as is the case with our ordinary cotton, thus enabling the planter to gaiher the cotton with more ease and without loss, Mr. Olivier, after a careful examination of the M3onterey cotton, has found its advantages numer ous. It is cleaner than the ordinary cotton anod perhaps more prolific. Furthlerore, this cotton gives one pound of clean cotton to every two and a half pounds of cotton in seed, when the ordinary cotton will take three and noinie times three and a half pounds of cotton in seed to make one pound of clean cotton. Let all your readers who desire a good article see for themselves, and look at the samples I send you, both of clean cotton and cotton in seed, and let all planters who wish a good article procure the Monterey silk cotton seed, which I shall soon fier for sale. I shall informyour readers, through .1 your columns, as soon as Int shall receive the seed. Meanwhile I shall always be happy to give them all the information they may desire, and show them the samples I have received, if they will call at my office No. 114 Bourbon street, from 9 to 3. I remain, very respectfully, your obedient servant, 5 L. BMILLAUDON. [tWe have received the samples of cotton above referred to by Mr. Millaudon, and they fully come up to ins description.

DAVIS, A spiritualist named Richard Ayers conmittede' suicide iaturday in Pittsbarg, Pa., by hanging; himself to the baluostrade of the stairway in the second story of his residence. He had for a iong time been laboring undera kind of mania whic.f led him to believe that his body was bewitched by some adverse spirits. He threatened frequently to dispose of his body, that his spirit might re reive fair play." On Iaturday he took a clothes line and wenl up stairs immediately after break fast, saying to his wife: "There was no se in delaying it any longer; his body must be disposed at.' His wile thought little of the remark, but afterwards, when she went up stairs, she foundo bim hanging quite dead. Not long since two boys, named Gordon and Rich, were quioletly lying on the ground under & eec in an open lot min Brighton, Mass., when a dinie ballet truok Gordon in the leg, ljust below he knee, ai- passing downward, Iodaed some our inches blow where it entered. The boys nade their way to the office of a snurgeon, who xLtacted the batl-frpm young Gordon's leg, and he wound is now 4ealing. Neither of the boys seard any gun dihclisrged, and probably the per on who tired the shot was not aware of the harm se caused. Doring camp-meeting week in Belfast.
