Mr. John P. Perscb, the Wall street broker whose examination was commenced on Thursday, was cross examined at considerable] length.

"I didn't ask you that," said Mr. Vanderpoel, testily. "That is all" On examination by Mr Sullivan the witness was poked about those promisca Mr. Beach?1 object; that was gone into last night; and there can be no object in having it now unless they want to get up that laugli again. Judge Barrett?That is all that can possibly result from it. Tho next witness was William J. Woodward, who testified that he was an operator in Wall street iu 1*60; the day before Black Friday Mr. Smith, of the l.rm of Ptuitli, Gould, Martin A; Co., asked him to buy gold for him; $6,000,000 of it; he was not personally to buy, but to get Lock wood & Co. to buy, on a margin of $250,000; Mr. Smith gave him a check for $260,000, and he gavo It to Lockwood, together with tha order to buy ; the order was only rartiallv executed to the $1,000,000 or $2,000,000; on the extent of between evening ol Thursday, September 23, he called at Heath's private offico and saw there Mr. Fisk, Mr. Guuld, Mr. Sherman and others; Fisk said they hud loaned out $y0,000,000, aud they should have this pub 1 shed in tho morning papers in order to show they had the $90,000,000 mey claimed; Fisk was silting on a chair getting shaved; there was a talk ubout calling on the parties to whom they had loaned to settle at a i erlaiu price, ou Black Friday morning hu called at Heath's office aud had a conversation with Mr. Gould, who said the market was going up aud thai gold would sell at 200 that day. Cross-examined by Mr. Bosch?lie called at Heath's office because he was interested in gold; he was in terested in tho transactions of Mr. Gould, wno wag carry:ng gold purchased for the joint account ol Mr. 'iould, Mr Kunbcr and himself: lie had uo interest in any purchases ol Thursday or 1 rtuay or in the opera tions of Albert Spoyers ortlie Gold Ftchange. Kc examined?The joint account Gould, Kimber end himself was I'.'o.uuO.trJO. a portion of which has ecu sold. To Mr. ^ulllvan?The rartles mentioned had, at the tinieot our joiut purchase, sttbslsatlaUy made* a cor i or in gold. The .\itue-6 wan then askel by Mr. Beach to explain wh t he meant by "corner," and the brokers all augbed. The witness said it was an operation by which large purchases ol stock or gold contract the u..:rko'. supply; he OOQld put no other construction on i lying f >u,one.Doo aud loaning it out with only $14,lM0.utlU avatlablo; the loduiug out so far supplier the u.arket j th re was a class of operators working for u ns. of stocks, but they generally work on separato iDiiiv idual contracts. \Vi:.i..ni Read, gold operator, testified that he did businesa in Wall street tn ludp; on the morniug of I .o k Friday, at ten o'clock, ho ?u m the office of rn.. U, Gould, Martin A: Co. 1 he Ciu.t then took a recess, aud on reassera I ng .i lengthy argument took place on a ques tion raised by the dclonco as to tbe inad missibility o* the proposed evidence about siato ...cuts made l>y Mr. Henry Smith while alone with the witness in his oitioe. Mr. Beach contended thai dec larationb ol Ihe mdiTidual hrin ol Smith. Gould \ Co. should not he bin ting upon ibe other members of the &rui, because it did not follow that the gold transar %ons of wh ch he spoke were not carried on on his own individual responsibility, Mr. Sullivan repliod on the other side, and Judge Barrett decided ghat ou the whole a-pect of the case, so far, is would not bo justified in excluding the testimony. I r. Head then further testified that on tho morning of Bla. lt Friday he was .u South, Could \ Ylarttb's office, in Broad street, and nud a conversation with Mr. Henry smith; uo told IIr. Smith ho had some golj, and asked his advice; Mr. Smith said the market was going up, and iney hud bent a man over to rni rest. An epilomo of the more important opinion", how ever. is g.ven below.

Mo uon for this writ *u denied, and an appeal was taken from such decision to the Supreme Court, General Term, where the case was argued yesterday at con siderable length. It was urged on behalf ot the Board of Education that the Board is organised under the laws of the State and has full control ot the public schools and tho pub lic scboo1 system of the city and possesses the powers and privileges of s corporation, the possessing a cor porate existence; it has the power to dictate the amount of money required to discharge its obligations and duties and tbe exclusive right to appropriate It iu the performance of its proper and legal funct mis In opposition it was claimed that the order denying a mandamus in the Kniian case was correct and should hold in the present case; that no provision of law can bo found which authorizes the Comptroller to deposit or tbe Chamberlain to receive a gross gum for the Board of Education; that the Comp troller was wholly powerless 10 draw such lumi from the city treasury; that the Chamberlain would not be authorized to receive or keep it. and that such a method ol providing and keeping funds for the pur poses of the Board of Kducat.ou is not authorize! by law It was urged further that if tho case ol Killiau was incorrectly decided and the provisions ol tho char ter requiring all moneys to lie paid out upon vouchers examined and allowed by the Auditor and approved by the Comptroller apply to the payment of bills of tho Hoard of Education, it follows, a fortiorari, that tho scheme of requiring the Comptroller to deposit a sum in gross with the Chamberlain lor the purposes of tho Hoard ot Education ts not admissible. It was arguod in conclusion that tbo order of the S pedal Term should be aiiiriuoJ. Alter hearing the argument the Court took tbe j upers lor examination. SINNOTT AS MABINE COURT JUDGE. The appointment by Governor Tilden of James P. Smnotl as one of the Justices of the klarlne Court, to All the vacancy caused by tho doath of tho late Judge Spaulding, does not seem to meet the approval of tbo present Judges of the court. At a convention ot the Judges, held yerterdav, this conclusion was emlHKl ed in ttie following pronunclamento, which explains it self:? At thk Coirt Horn, ) In thk Citt or N'kw Vokk, March So, i87fl. J The Justices of the Mariuc Court of the city of New York being, on Tuesday, the 28 th mat, duly assembled in convention and acting as a Court, Jamos I'. Sliinott, i Esquire, personally appeared before the said Court, and claiming to have received an appointment ami | authority from tho Governor of the State of New York to be one of tnc Ju-,tico| of this Court, in the place and stead of tbe Hon. Alexander Spauldiug, deceased, requested that be lie assigned to Judicial duty in pur suance thereof. Now, It appearing to this Court that the said proffered appointment is not by the advice and lias not received the consent ot the Senate of tbe .State of New York, we, tho undersigned, the Justices of tho said court, having considered the matter, are of and declare it as the opinion of the Court thut the said sup posed appointment and authority are without tbe eflVct and force of law. In such a case as the present, If His Excellency the Governor has no official power by law to till the said vacancy without tho advice and consent of tbo Senate, then the evidence presented by Mr. Sin nott bestows on him not even the outward signs and symbols of the office or a justice of this court so as even to allow it to be said that ho is in ofhco by color of tltla Therefore, the said act of the Governor is evidence of nothing pertinent to tbe claim made by Mr. Klnnott, and this Conrt thereby receives no powor to assign hiin to duty, for which reasons we judicially declino to accode to tho request, upon the evidence, as made. GEORGE .SHEA, C. J. HENRY ALKKK. DAVII) McADAM. C. GOEPl*. JAMES U. SHERIDAN. A CITY CONTRACTOR'S TROUBLES. William A. Seaver, collector of John L. Brown, brought suit against the city to recover (140,337 50, balance claimed to be due on a contract for regulating and grad ng Tenth avenue from Manhattan to 155th street. The action was bogun In January, lS'O, and has passed through all the vicissitudes which seem to be well nigh inseparable from any attempt to collect a debt from the city. On tbe trial of tbe case the complaint was dis missed, which judgment was affirmed by the Supreme Court, General Term, but reversed by tbe Court of Ap peals and a new trial ordered. As the caso was about to be retried motion was made on behalf of tbo city lor leave to amend its answer. The case came up yes terday tor argument In the Supremo Court, General Term, on an appeal from un order or Judge Lawrence denying this motion. Tbo caso was argued at great length, Mr. John E. Develin nppearing for Mr. Seaver and Corporation Counsel Whitney lor the city, and at the conclusion of the argument tho Court took the papers, reserving Its decision. THE TRIAL OP LAWRENCE. The alleged Custom House defaulter, Charles L. Lawrence, brought hero after his flight to Europe under the Extradition treaty, having failed to secure the action of the courts in his favor, will be brought up to-day on an argumont to plead anew to the indictment against him. It has been slated that he ofTcrcd to give all he knew of the transaction in which ho and otbers wore implicated, where It would be of tbe most use, en condition ibat tbe prosecution against him was with drawn. It seems, however, thai I'niled States District Attorney Bliss has reported to the Attorney General adversely to Lawrence's plea for pardon, and the Sec retary of the Treasury refused to accupt it, so the case will proceed according to the programme of United States District Attorney Bliss.

Those ladles bar* ac cordinglydiccn working throughout the country, nol alone with the Centennial in view, but to carry out tho original intention, started eighteen years ago, of raising $60,0u0 as an endowment iuud. Early tn;s year an appeal waa issued Irom the Jt'gent or the Mount Vernon Association of the I uiou to make tlio 22d of February an occa-'on to gather funds. Arrange ments were on foot In New York lor a Martha Washing ton lea t?ariy at Masonic Hall, when the npnouneenxut was made ot tho st John's Ouiid benefit ot tbe same date, and as ihc lad.es of that management rciused to allow the beuciit fund of Mouut Vernon a table, thus Joining the two obje- ts, nil thought of raising money in New Y'ork on that dalo was abandoned. However, Cincinnati gave a grand centennial reception, and cleared upwards of giu.uuo, and we arc glad to state thai even in February Mount Tnnss'i credit aide appearance was an accomplished (act. The report of the Vice Kegcul pro trm., in New York, dated February 17, gave a comfortable assurance that it was nearly completed then. a? lar as being diade presentable lor the summer, the future endow ri. ni fund alone giving anxiety. A notico in the Nev irk Oserier stated some tliue bclore Wiut Mr. Van rampVn Taylor, a well known architect in that city, had re>/?tiily visited the homestead, and was then en gnged in trowing plans of the nulire building, so that in caae of .

A BOY ACCIDENTALLY SHOT. An accident, likely to prove fatal, resulted at ths Custom llouse yesterday from tbe careless use of fire arms. Edward Slockin, a boy of fourteen years, tbe nephew of Paymaster F. C. Went worth} was shot in tbe neck by a pistol m tbe hands or bis cousin, Alfred Wentworth, aged seven years. It appears that both boys were in tbo ofllce of the Paymaster, who was temporarily absent Irom the room. A loaded pistol, which was lying on a desk, attracted the attention of the younger of the two, who took It up and playfully pointed it at his companion. The latter cauliofiifid him to tako it away, as it might go off; but the little ho^ laughingly answered, "Oh, no it won't." The words wore scarcely spoken when the pistol dis charged. Tbe bullet lodged iu the neck of young Stockin grazing the jugular vein. The wounded boy foil lo tbo floor, and his companion, much frightened, gavotne alarm. Mr. Wentworth entering hurriedly conveyed the little sufferer to the New York Hospital, where the ball was extracted. His coudition is con sidered very precarious. A MERCHANT'S WAIL. fo the Editor or tor Herald:? Your article in regard to W. A. Darling -the ''Hon orabla," as he insists upon being addreasod by tlioae under liim in the Appraiser'* Department?is not only ? welcomed by the merchants generally, but has loug been looked for and known to be correct. Yet it is to be regretted that you did not give much more to the public. Who go to merchants' stores on their way home and receive money and goods for tho examina tion of merchandise and other pretended (avors? Who steal packages from casos "received in good order?" Complaints are made and they are turned off upon the cart men and steamship companies. No re drefes from the Honorable (?) W. a. Darling? not to be expected Prom a man who would rob the widow and orphanspf their savings. How many deserving and capable men upon small salaries hare been removed, as alleged, "by direction of i ho Secretary of the Treasury lor the purpose ol retrenchment," and ignorant pot-house lontfrs Irom the "Darling Club"' and district appointed at higher salaries r Why was tho man who does bis dirty work (Harney) taken from the ranas?f the laborers, made a messenger, too igno rant for anything else and then the office of Super intendent of Stationery created at a sal ary ol $1,800?and perquisites out of the poor openers and. packers?and Harney appointed ? Why is there so much redtspo and unnecessary work pcrtorraed? Why are goods delayed, errors continu ally made and merchants and brokers annoyed and put to extra expense (a common question is, ' How much is it worth ?") snd obliged to pay all the way from a cigar or a drink to as many dollars as tncy cuu afford or presents of articles Irom their stores before they can act their goodsr From the lowest to the highest of Darling's appointees all aro "on tbo make." Why, these things and much more have been going on since he came into office, and we all wonder you have not exposed it before. This most important branch of the Custom Houso should be in the hands of a known business man ol integrity and ability, and tot a miser able trickster and unscrupulous politician. Don't let up, but clear them all out, and oblige ONE OF THE 81 KFEKIXG MERCHANTS. TREASURE TROVE IN THE FAR WEST. [From the Dcnlson (Mo.) Crescent.) About throo weeks ago some $12,090 or $15,000 *n gold and silver was dug up on the Widow Walker's placo, three miles south of Denison. At the time men tioned above two unknown men, accompanied by an Indian boy, visited the farm. Tbey had a long rod witb which tbey probed the ground. Some trees grow ing near tho place where the treasure was bur oS were marked, also a rock, on which wrro two rings, ouo i within the other, and an arrow pointing in the direc tion of the buried treasure. It appears dial the Wulkcr family knew thai the money was burled on the place, but it was a request ol the Widow Walker that ' It should not be disturbed until after she died. A num ber of parties have recently visited the place and tbs bole where tho money was buried. The trees pointing to the spot and the rock with taa rings ai.d arrow oil rati be seen. The iiuihes ol the parlies who came and look tho treasure are known, wc understand, to be die Walker lamily. The Indian was Irom the Nation. The story seems incredulous, and, perhaps, must he taken Willi tome allow snce. It seems very Improba ble that the Walker tamdy. knowing lor so long a tuno that tho money was buried there, would net have dug i it up and enriched themselves, notwithstanding die , Widow Walker requosted that it sboild noi be disturbed until after her death. The story was told to us by three of the most respectable citlzeus of Denison, who believe that the money was fouad as described above. There seems to he considerable incitement en Uie streets in regard to tho buried treasure. Mm Walker says tkat only a small portion of it has been found, and that she knows wbere there are thousands of dol lars in (old and silver buried one mile distant from Denison. If Mm Walker's tale la true, pv ipte who con template gemg to the Black Mills can de natter by re naming at heme. (Several parties have gono to the Walker place and report finding tome stiver coin In the dirt left near the nlace wbere the treeeeee wee honed. REAL estate.
