The Plmtform on tke Slavery Question? How the Nomina ting Council tcill be Selected? ' Live Oak" George in Bifb toaor? Candidates fcr the Vice Presidency, dtc., Sc. "Than ia no Sunday in reroiit'ionujp tlnti,"iild Mr. Wibttor, during the Harrison ? jph(o, and tren thia day members of the Nation*! council of Americana must talk, although they do not tiitet in counclL Some of the committeea have been in usiion. and delegates from se veral State* have met and talked over matter*. To-morrow the committee w 11 report a platform to the Council. In the committee room a platform has been eettled upon which ia aatiaiactory to the Southern aa well a* the Northern members of that committee. It will recommend that all future question* be governed bj the people of the Territories themselve i, independent of the federal government. The ?ett!ers will elect their Governor, Legislature, kc , make their own laws, and bare slavery or not, as they see fit. Farther, I think that the platform will restore the Missouri Compromise to the Padfle, leaving out Nebraska and Kaunas, these Territorial to remain aa the; are. Such a plan will be favorably received by the Council, and will be adopted aa the platform, and farther trouble in reference to Af Xioan alavery will be avoided A safe platform will be erected befcre Tuesday night. After the platform matter i? arranged, the next im portant matter for thi* Council to fettle is the manner In whieh delegate* to the Ncmlnating Council, (to meet nest June, to nominate a President and Vice Pre aidant J are te be selected. Tbot-e here who have thought much about the matter, have made up tbelr minds that the most fair way ia to have the Nominating Council com posed of eae member from each Congreuional district in each State, and two from each State at large. The Councils ia each Congressional district to meet in con vention aad elect the delegste. The two delegate* from each State to be elected by the State Council. Such a course will be a wise, fair and aboveboard one. It tiavs* al primary meetings, and all humbug. A Nomi nating Council so constituted will come directly from the American people, and there can be no poaaible ob jection to It; and the delegates inthis Council who have not considered the matter, will do well to think of it hefare they vote. In regard to the candidate for the Presidency, the drift of the pnblic sentiment in the Council is clear and decided. A man who runs can read. There la a* caavaaaing, bo private meetings, no ar rangement* all is aboveboard; but three- fourths of this convention express their opinion in tavor of George law, of New York. All agree that a Northern man must he selected, and that one must be one who can carry Mew York and Pennsylvania. AU agree that the man is 'George Law. Southerners are coavinoed of thia, and the letter of Mr. Law te the Pennsylvania Legislature is satis .factory te them. All are agreed to unite upoq * geif tokn, who ba* no old p*f tj friend* to toward, or Old party eppoaenta to ptUUah. George Law i* that man. All agree that it ia necessary to select a candidate for the Preaideaey who haa clean bands, and who, when elected, Will bestow the patronage of the government in the vari oue States for the entire party who have elected him, and who wDl recognize aa his guide in thia matter the legitimate Councila of the State*, and Councils of the citiee aad towns in those States. Mr. Law ha* no for dcr antecedent* or aeaociation* to prevent hi* doing thia; aad Fillmore, Houston and others, whose names can hardly be mentioned by members of this great coun cil of the American party, have their objectionable past associations and preferences Having fixed upon the man from the North for the Presidency, the Northern delegatea will give their preferences for any man in the South for the Vice Presidency who seem* to be the choice of the majority of the .Southern delegatea. The following are the name* of men who have frlenda la thia Council, who desire to see their favorite on the ticket for Tice President when George Law ia running for Pre si dent:? Kenneth Rayner, of North Carolina, for Vice Presi dent, ha* many friends; and if thia Council waa to no minate he would probably be the choice of a ma jority of It. iianett Davie Kentucky, -John J. Crittenden Kentucky, M. P.Gentry Tennessee, H. W. Billiard, ..Alabama, Tbomaa Randall Florida, Sdward Bates .....Mlaaouri, S. Adams Mississippi, Albert Pike Arkansas, T. Butler King Georgia, Are en members' list*, and each one haa more of leea friend* in thi* Council, and who may be the final ?election ia uncertain. Law and either one of them will 2m the ticket that will achieve the greatest political vic tory and revolution that has ever awept over the coun ty since the days of >70. Philadelphia, Jane 10, 1866. The Louisiana Catholic Question Settled? Calibre of the Neviy Elected Officers qf the Grand Council? The Plat form and the Results likely to Flow from it? die. , t Be. The ees*ion of yeaterday was devoted almoet entirely to the consideration of the claim* of the anti- Catholic delegation fromLouiaiana. and resulted, after a protract ed debate, and by a very decialva majority, in their full xecognitian and admission to the deliberation* of the convention. Thia decision decide* the vexed queetion; and hereafter it must be understood that none but ? those opposed to the pretensloaa of the Papal hierarchy will be fellowshipped by the American party. I need not afflrm, 'tie precunei, that snoh a decision will meet the cordial and concurrent approval of the whole frater nity. lb my letter of yeaterday I gave a hurried aketch of the newly elected President, Bartlett of Kentucky, and now only recur to it to remark that the several state Jnents therein contained were derived from a source perfectly familiar with hia present and paat history, and are, therefore, accurate and reliable. I will only add, that aheuld the North, aa haa beea af -firmed, expect from him any action, personal or eflcial, to favor any cause or doctrlaea inconsistent with the moit decided and honest recogni tion ef nationality aa expended by the early fathera of the Republic. They haveWckoned without their host, and prove themselves deficient in their accustomed quantum of cunning aad sagacity. A Jackson democrat of the olden time, he will be true to hia instinct* and faithful to the constitution and the Union. The Vice President, Mr. Charles Freeman, 1* about 88 years of age, a aative, and resident of this city; Alder jnan of the Fifth ward, now aad for a series of years past; a whig of the Henry Clay type; a man of mediocre abilities, and a gentleman in all the private relations of life. Tie auppoeed that hia present poaltiou resulted not only from the skill displayed m getting up the late sumptuous banquet? being, 'tie aaid, the chairman cf I the oommittee ? but In his tast in turning It to Indivi dual account. Ia a word, the great personal achievement consisted in determining the weak point of the body politic, and attacking It at tbe right time and place and In t>e right manner. He may, therefore, not inappro priately be atyled, "The Great Banquet Vice President of the great American Party.'* He will, however, make a Very good officer, and hia conservative sentiments wQ commend him to the generous support aad confidence of the party. The residue of the officers (excepting the Chaplain, of Whom I really ' ' know nothing ') are all weU adapted to their respective positions, and have severally the confi dence of their owa States and the Convention. The abeorbing topic here la the platform? a measure leplete with so much difficulty, that it* early solution ia moat anxiously, and, I had almost written, Impatiently, awaited. To the full extent of my okearvations ? and they have beea general aa well a^critioal ? I am inclined to the belief that no platform can or will be erected upon Which the entire party can or will stand. The distinc tive dogmas of the North ant South? the very aatipodes of each ia poaitiv* demand*? can nerer be haimonUad ?ad oenverted Into a ualty of eentlmeut and opinion, and the eftsrt now being so seduloaaly made by the in telligent committee appointed ia thia behalf must fall, Bi an aimttar ones have doae, ia the proposed reconcilia tion ef anck uncongenial, ineongruoie and opposite principles. I am aware that tbe hope la Veld out to tbe ?ar, aad nought to be impressed ea the heart, that the thing itaeif is net ealy perfectly pr?c tali tk*t wMcubJc bu i y been made towards tb ? attainment? and in proof 'Us ?tated that the great anu dit tort log question of slavery baa already found an Impregnable constitutional d? fence, and in termi not to be m:sunderstood and inia interpret ed. 'Ti? true, the plank t>f the platfonn on this vexed qaeation hae, in the eocmittee, and at the suggestion of the District of Columbia , found a eonititntional basis, and for the time bein3' rests secure by a large vote. Bnt what of that f Does that plank suit Massachusetts and New EBgtand generally, and perhape one or two of the Weatern States ? Wl* will affi nn that It doea If It suited, why, aa is now being made, waa an effort in stituted yesterday to convene a caucus on to morrow evening to take into consi taration the threatened en croaohmenta of " the slare power," and to enunciate the New England ultimatum on the subject t Rely upon it, no compromise can or will be made, and the upshot of the whole business will be, that all the dissentients to a national coasntutional party will hare leave to qmt, whilst those is its favor, being freed from all such entangling alliance, and aided by the na tional men of New England, of whom " more than seven thousand can be found who have not bowed the knee to Baal," will constitute the great constitutional, con servative American party. The deliberation! of the Convention will present no striking or interesting feature* until the report of the Platform Committee, when way be expected a mint able, eloquent and angty debate. The South la moat ably leproMnted, and I but record the common sentiment when 1 make the statement. The North is also ably represented, bnt not generally by men of such marked ability as characterise the gene ral Southern delegation. A day or two at most, and the great body will have embarked in the war of angry woris. The strifs is in evitable, and must result in the entire excision of all malcontents and factions from ti>e body. The dividing question must be met and the issue joined.

I have received your favor of the 10th inst? by which, aa general Agent of the Central Ameri can > Company, you invite me to aaaist von In your un dertaking to locate and improve the territory owned by that company in Central America. Providence has fa vored that region in a remArs Able degree. By its ideo graphical potion it forms the bridge of two hemi spherea, And Is equnlly fAvored At regards soil, climate and productions. ' The climate is mild and will compare favorably with the Southern Statee, being entirely free from that seoarge "the yellow fbver." The soil la fertile, producing cof fee, cocoa, cotton, Indigo, cochineal, vanilla, rioe, corn ?}? of fcaita' and vegrtabfes; the fCtiywS timber for building purposes and mahogany of the best quality; gold mines are fonnd, and the mineral re sources, as yet QMKplored, are doubtlees great: cattle and other domerae animals abound. With these elements and with navigable rivers and ports on the Atlantic and Pacific, capital, enterprize and an energetic population are alone wanting to advance Central America on ita destined way to political and commercial importance. The inhabitants are peaceful, and far from being dls inclined to labor, bnt require the stimulua of example aa well aa the fostering care of an enlightened govern ment, to rouse them from tbe lethargic state m which they were left by the aelflab policy or the Court of Ma and.

She has sung with success at Florence, and the writer of this can bear personal testi mony that she had an exceedingly fine mezzo-soprano voice, and a great deal of it, before ahe went to Europe. Miss Hensler, it ia said, is n native of Boston. Vestvali, we hear, will have n benefit this week. Look out for a demonstration from Young New York.

In another part of this paper will be found an account of the death, by violence, of Louis Leibenstein,a Hunga rian vocalist, lately connected with Sanford's troupe. Mr. Leibenatein had relatives In Cincinnati. Mr. San ford writes to us aa follows:? You will perceive by the Newark papers, the death of one of my company, Lessier Leibenstein, known as the "Hungarian Warbler." I drop yon a few linen that you may give it publicity in auch torm that his wife and family may hear of it in Europe. Mr. Leibenstein was one of the principal performers of the Hungarian vo caliata imported to this country by Rufua Biake Nlblo and some other party, twelve yeara ago. He has been ln my employ for the psst four yeara, and on the 21st of May I paid his monthly salary to him: since that time as has been drinking, and on Tuesday last he left my brother's house, and I learn by letter of his com nutting suicide at the Metropolitan Hotel, Newark, on Thursday last, of which, I presume, the papers give an account and verdict. I never knew of his having any relations in this country, except some who live in Cin cinnati. and one of the Hungarians, who is somewhere about Boston. He has nothing but the little that he left here. In giving this fact publicity ln your paper, the world will know all about it. Respectfully yours, &e., SAMUEL & SANFORD. Boston.?

Deputation cf Creoles to the Northern AbolitionitU? Fighting General Concha with his own Wtiiponi? Move ments of Ship* of War. By the last steamers north, it is whispered about, so that everybody can hear it, that a deputation left the island duly empowered by the Creole party to maae a present of the slaves of Cuba to the abolitionists of the Vnitad State*, England, and France, on the one condl tien, that, with moral influence and means they will aid them to free Cuba of Spanish rale. I bad heard of this proposition some weeks since, and it may cause discus sion; but I did not then, nor do I now, believe that it hae the approval of the property men of Cuba. For this reason, I did not allude to it In my late letters, but a* I hear It seriously spoken of, I feel obliged to take the long route for Its conveyance, for what It may be worth, to your press. This will complicate Mr. Conoha's game considerably, if not more, and Insure the ruin that all have feared, from the impress of British and French mixed policy, upon the institutions of Cnba. It is urged that General Concha has determined if there i* any effort on the part of Cubans to change the form of government, that ha will, If driven to extremity, free the net roes. It is also argued tuat the '.endency of his government is to prodnoe the same effects; that bis pnttinir arms ia the bands of the colored race has already broken down the barrier of subordination, and that a* knowledge of the fact i* circulated in the inte rior, where the slaves largely outnumber the whites, the effect is perceptible, and the difficulty in restraining begins to be seriously felt ? so felt that personal appr? hension counsels the measure. There is no doubt, from wbat every person sees who has two eyes, in this com munity. in our dwellings, and on tha streets, that tha progressive march of niggerdom ia rapid beyond poat C Spanish calculation. Yet I do not think any plan beta matured and approved by the Cuban planters to aave their own Uvea, and obtain the boon of freedota for Cuba, by making so gnat and direct a sacrifice tor the country. It will, however, set the black philantliro piato at woTk, and cause Spain more serious alarm tor the safety of her jewel, than all tbe plottings of the Junta in New York, or tbe dreaded filibuateroe of the South The San Jacinto returned to Havana yesterday from Matanzas.

ALUBJ1D MI8C0NI/UCT OF , A PILOT. Oujt? ? scene occurred on board the Hoboken ferry fc>At JMterdsy afternoon about half put in o'clock. 14 appears that after the boat left the Canal ?treet floi 1 poorly dressed man came to lereral per sons and a.*ed for money, alleging that he was ?tarring, bnt *upi*Wrg him to be an ordinary beggar, he wag repulsed b7 t{lc?e he spoke to and aid refuaed. When the boat re ashed the middle of the river, the try wa* raited that a l u# was overboard, and a per ton was ?een struggling in ti **? *?ter who proved to be the Indi vidua] who wu (olici tharity. Great excitement waa' caused on board the itoaaboat, which waa crowded to ex t*" with passengers. The en gine waa reveraed, and wh*t purported to be a life boat quickly loweaed into the wa*?r, into whiob two of the deck handa, one named Joseph Lawrence, and the other known as Dutch Cfcarley, immediately jumped. They pulled towards the drowning and succeeded in lift ing him into the boat. By thlx t'laae the steamboat had drifted some distance away from iM*e place, but several persons on beard saw that the life feoat was fast filling with water, and they shouted to the pilot to ran the I steamboat near to afford them assistance; but it i? al leged that that official would not do so, ?od he told the passengers ne usu?....ra ? The boat was fettling every moment, and still the steamboat kept drifting away. Suddenly the small boat ewasnped, and three men were precipitated in the river. The indignation ot the passengers on board the Newark at this time was intense, as they deemed the coaduct of the pilot in not keeping nearthe boat, highly censurable. Dutch Charley was seen to plunge from the boat imme diately before it sunk, and was not seen again, nor had hia body been recovered up to the time of writing. Law rence was more fortunate, as he was a good Hwimmer, and wan luc'sey enough to secure a piece of floating board which sustained hia until he was picked up. The unfortunate unknown wan alio rescued, but though every means used, he soon died, without being able to tell his name. It was the steamer Pioneer, which runs to the Chris tboper street dock, which picked the men up. As might be supposed the pertons on board the Newark, who aaw tho men drowning before their eyes, without being able to render them any assistance, were not a little excited, and the pilot was denounced in unmeasured terms, it beidg believed that he was the cause of the two men's deatn. A meeting of the passengers was called, and Mr. Reuben Gould was elected Chairman. Resolutions were pasted and speeches made, denouncing in unmeasured terms the conduct of the pilot, and a proposition was made to summarily chastise him for his conduct, but wiser councils p/evailed and he was not touched. Our informant states that he was arrested ou bis arri val in Hoboken, but our reporter could not learn whe ther such was the case or not. Dutch Charley was said to be a laborer in the Brook lyn navy yard, and leaves a wife and children. The Coroner of Hoboken will hold an inquest on the body of the per on who attempted suicide to-aay, when no doubt the facts of the case will come to light. Police Intelligence. HOW KVTOBANT GIRLS ARB 80MBTIMES TREATED. A few days ago a poor German girl, about 17 years of age, came to the Lower Police Court, before Justice Connolly, and told the magistrate a doleful tale of the shameful manner in which she had been treated since her arrival in this country. She^ave her name as Maria Hutel, and stated that on the ship in which she was a passenger arriving at Quarantine, it was boarded, as is usually the case, by a lot of rapacious land sharks, (ever ready and willing to commit any crime, no matter how grave in its character, if it only paid them for their tronble,) one ot whom, seeing that she was rather pret ty, induced her, by his plausible atoriet, to put oonfi dence in him and te would procure her a good situation, (just what she most desired.) That on her arrival in New York this runner took her to a disreputable inteli gence office, where she was immediately engaged by the proprietor and proprietress of a lager bier saloon at No. 4 City Hall place, to do genuial housework and attend to the saloon on pressing occasions. She says that she had not been more than an hour ia her new abode when she was enticed into a back room, lockeu up for twenty-four hours, and during that time was compelled to submit to the embraces of no les? than five men, all her own countrymen too. That lulling all efforts to escape from this deu by force were unavailing, she managed to get away by stratagem, by asking as a favor that the owners of the pla:e would allow her to go to Staten Island to see a sick brother. Putting on an air of contentednees she took these people by surprise, and was allowed to make the pretended visit. V>hen once more free she immediately prooeeded to a magistrate, atidj there made an affidavit drawn up by officer bemler, which embodies all the foregoing facta. A warrant was then issued for the apprehension of all parties engaged in the above outrage; aud on Friday Henry SchulWt and Caroline his wife, keepers of the lager bier saloon, were taken into custody bjr officer Frued, of the Emigrant Department, and brought before J natice Connolly on the charge preferred against them by the emigrant girl. They were both committed for examination on the diarge of keeping a disorderly house and for being disorderly characters. SERIOUS STABBING AFFRAY. At en early hour yesterday morning two men, named J. Egbert Farnham and John McKlnsey, became engaged in a fight at the corner of Weat Broadway and Anthony strest, when Farnham. it ia alleged, pulled out a pocket knife and Inflicted a serere gaah in the back, penetrating through the ribi Of McKinaey. The latter, on reviving the wound, raised a loud alarm: whereupon officer Bul w?r, of the Fifth ward police, came up and arreated Farnham. The wounded man waa conveyed to his reai Cence, at No. 663 Greenwich atreet, where he liea in a dangerous condition. The priaoner waa brought before Justice Bogart yesterday, who committed him to pri son, to await the reault of the wounded man'* injuriea. No cause has yet been assigned for the quarrel and fight between these men. Farnham m a member of the Worth Legion, and was; engaged in the Mexican war. Yesterday afternoon McKlnsey waa quite delirious from the Wound, and aerioua doubts wer? entertained of hia recovery by the attending physician. BllDiG THE ELEPHANT IN TBI FIFTH WARD. On Fridsy night a man named Thomaa McCoilum, while engaged in seeing the sights in the Fifth ward, under cover of the night, pretty well nnder the lnfln> ence of kbad rum, was picked np by an old "roper in," who, as a matter of course, kept company with him sa long as the money lasted, acd tnen elyly deserted tim, jntt aa the victim, nnfortuaaUly, came across a party of midnight marauders, who tor aome trivial cause, commenced an indiscriminate assault upon Mc Colli m. injuring him in a serious manner. McCoilum was picked up by the Fifth ward police in an exhausted condition On being taken to the station house, a deep gash waa found to have been inflicted in hla neck, from which the blood flowed freely. The wounded man waa promptly attended by a physician, who sewjad np the cut. No arrests have been made by the police, nor is It at all likely there will be, as McCoilum was too far gone to form any idea of who ttioss that assaulted him wen. ALLEGED ROBBERY. Two men, named John Martin and Edward Loder, were arrested by officer Minto, of the Thirteenth ward police, charged with having on Saturday entered the store of Johanna Rylsko, at 32!) Rivington street, and forelhly robbed the latter of two watches, which were banging np in the window. The complainant alleges that the ac cused on entering the store, aaked if the watches were for sale, the told them they were not; whereupon, she says cne of the two knocked her down and held her fast, while the other went behind the counter and seized the valuables, and having secured their bosty, hastily left the premises. Mrs. Rjisko, however, fellowed them, and giving the alarm, officer Minto succeeded in captar ing the fellows. The accused were taken before J tut lee Welsh, at the R<sex Market Police Court, who eosaaaittod them for examination . ALLEGED ASSAULT WITH A DANGEROUS WgAFTW. A hoy about 14 years of age. named Thosaas Hark*, hailing from London. England, was brought before Jus tice Bogart, at the Lower Police Court, charged with having assaulted Jamos Moloney, of No. 6 Morris atreet, with a knit-', inflicting a eevere cnt in hia left arm. The accused denied the charge, said that the blow was In flicted mtrelr for the purpose of protecting hlmaelf aga'nst the aasault of Molonev. who he said had him "almoet choked to death." and it was ia order to relieve blmrelf from the unpUarnnt situation he waa then placed In, that be assaulted Moloney with the knife. The magistrate committed him to ans*rer. CHASOl OP OR AND LARCHNY. A woman named Catharine Conly. was arrested yester day by officer Mesbit. of the Fifth ward polioe, charged with having cn the 12th of April last stolen a cape shawl, valued at 190, the property of Otis Field, of No. 91 Hudson street. The accused, on being taken before Justice Boy art, admitted having stolen the valaable gar n ent. and informed the officer where she had pawned it. The shawl waa discovered at a pawnbroker s In West Broaoway, r.nd restored to the owner.

Judge Hoffman said? The caw la to be considered to two aspects: First, ia rsiation te particular statutes aad conveyaaces, under which the piaintitf meats that k ?ad Uto?e similarly situated bare an abeolote right, a owaer* of to have the inteaded cue of Caatt (jar dsn prohibited. Second, ia relatios to the geaera law governing the Court ia interfering with partis . whoae net* amount to naUancea. or tcad to aueh ceaee ?lasnces, endangering property, health or comfort, aa ase equivalent to naisances. 1. Aa to the particular right* of the plaintiff-, aa owners of property ia the vi cinity-Fir*, the laad upon whioh Castle Gardes stand*, ?a well aa the Battery, aa it waa at any period defined, did sot paan to the Corporation of New York aader Ut Montgomery charter by the grant of the four haadred feet into the water. The line* of that grant expraMto exclude thete pr?mi?es. There wa a aUo aa Jr-rmi reeervaties of Fort George, ? ana ttr.n " STiSi: ?: sor'.bed, aa well aa all the tan da within auch liaaita claimed by the corporation, except the landa reserved ia the Brut aection. The ersception wm the greaad fronting the Bowling Green aad running to the roar at the lata frontiag on Pearl a treat, which it ia aufficioat to indicate a a tho gorenuaent Houao Grounds The reoitat show* that the atention waa to convey Fort George aad the Battery adjacent thereto. Tho corporation waa to hold the premiaeo " for the purpose a t erecting public bnildinga aad works of defence thereon, bat without any power to dispoee of the aaaae for nay other uaa or par pose whatever, and without any power of selling aay part thereof. " The judge then proceeded to examtes at great length and with marked ability the aunaeieaa effidavlta presented to him, which, he coniulered. had established beyond aay reasonable doubt theae points : ? First, that the selection of Caetle Garden oaablaa tha Commissioners more effectually to guard tho eaaigraato from frauds and imposition; that it is of great advantage In facilitating their dispersion throughout the country, and of giving them tbe benefit of the counsel aad aid of tiie several societies specially tormed to watch oar their comfort. Beoond, that the employment of Castle Gardaaa for the purpose of re- examination is of manileat advaa tage in ita tendency to secure the health smd comfort aC the emigrants themeelvee Tbe judgment and experieaaa of the Commissioners, confirmed py the affidavit of Or. Ushes this. Third, the bringing together all the eaai grants whose dif eases have escaped detection at the Qua run tine, into one place, auch aa tbe premiaesia question, ia decidedly more Hkely to avert the propagation of dta ease in thecity at largethanthe present system. The ef fects oi landing the passengers at dliTereat points, of Im mediately crowding them into filthy boarding houses, are stated in the affidavits of several of the experienced physicians and others, and hear every appearanoe at good sense and tryth. Fourth, the question of the de terioration of the value of property depends chiefly upon the settlement of the question next discussed, as to the effect of the proposed aaeof the Garden apoa the health of tbe neighboring inhabitants ? aa far as any deterioration exists, it is sufficient to say that s stronger case must be made for an tnjanctioa than to canes of threatened injuries to health. When a nui sance ia established aad abated by the verdict of a jury, tbe injury to property will be removed. Fifth, ia rela tion to the decision in Brower agaiaat the Mayor, Jto.t (3 Barbour S. C. Bep. 264. ) I may aay that a caaa was then made by tbe plaintiff, and not auooeaafally re pelled by tbe defendants, widely different from the pre sent. Sixth, the remaining and leading question ia, as to the extent and imminence of the danger from conta gious or infecticua diseases to the inhabitants ia tha immediate vicinity, represented bv the plaintiff. Tha distance of tbe Garden from the neareet habitation Is about five hundred feet. Tbe Intermediate apace ia opaa ground, with a free ventilation. I must confide ia tha statement? of the Commissioners, that they meaa to prevent the emlgntita from intruding upon tbe Battery grounds, and 1 tee no difficulty in their accomplishing this purpose. Disregarding tbe long liat of deponeste aa each sice, whose wast of information upon th's sutjeet robs their opinion of weight, 1 have given my principal attention to the affidavits of the medical gentlemen. K the rrstic rule of decision, n umero rum ponderr, waa ap plied. I find an overwhelming number on the part sf the defendanta. It of coarse beyond my power to estimate the relative weight of character aad qualiflcatloa ; hut several of the physieiaas tbe part of the defendanta are now, or have b( in official situations, which entitle their opinions te la fiuence, independent of comparative professional eminence. Among these are Dr. Harris, formerly deputy Health Officer, whose affidavit merits particular notice : Dr. Sterling, physician at the Marine Hospital from 1848 to IBIS ana examining physician of the Oasa misa loners since that time: Dr Rockwell, Hsalth Offioer for four years, and now real lent physician of the eity and agent of the Board of Health: Dr. Miller, the preaaat Health Commissioner aad formerly member of the Ceae mon Council and on the Committee of Public Health; Dr. Fay, deputy Health Officer, for three years prior to the summer of 1864; Dr. Cox, vialting physician of (ha hospital of the Uommisaionara; Dr. lhompaon, Health Of ficer of the port of New York; Dr Rothe. In the saaplay of the Comsusuoners at Quirantlae. Dr. Martingale, deputy Health Officer of tha port; and Dr. Vache, physi cian in chief of tbe Marine Hospital, and for five years resident phyaician of the city. The opiaieaa af so large a number of responsible officers aad experienced physicians, are, In aay judgment, de cialve. I attribute more than mere persons! im portance te the ostha of thoee who have been eat apart by the public to watch over the health of the eity; whose experience and constant familiarity with the ha bits aad diseases of emigrants, mark them as beat qnatf fied to speak with authority; asd whoae prejudiced or even hasty judgaaent involves, not merely the laapoaah ment of their ialiness and intelligence, but the violatiom of a aclemn duty consigned to them by the public AS theee, with entire unanimity, state that the apprehsa alena of tha apread of contagion, from such a aaa of Castle Garden, are groundless, tie venth? Another oaa sideration ia, that the Common Council of the city, as conservators ot the publio health, may abate every nui sance and if experience | roves that the evils aad daagera aatiaipated by the plaintiffa are la aay degree realised, they may be immediately removed. The powera of oar cor poration are aa extensive aa thoee of the municipal aatha rities of Bestoa or of Albany, and anch is the rule. (Bafear agt. Boston, 12 Pick , 184; Van Warner agt. tbe Stayer of Albany, 16 Wendell, 262 ) By the act of 1850. (ch. 275,) the Mayor and Common Council are oonatitntod the Board of Health; and by aection 2 of article 1, tttts 8, they have full authority to abate all nuleaaeee wlthia the city. I have givea to this motion the care and. study which its importance and interest demands; aad the result is a conviction that, to arrest the plan ef tha Commissioners, full aa it is of so many undeniable baas fits, upon the evidence now before me, would be a raah and unwarrantable exercise of a (ower, salutary only whea wielded with caution, bnt a formiiable and mla chievoua engine of wrong when exerted except upon tha mandate of imtierioua necessity. The aaotlon for tha in junction must be denied, and the temporary order dia charged without coaia to either party. Hem ttom Europe In Mi Days. TO TUB KDITOS OF THE OKRA.LB.
