Only Mr. seta's testlnaoey to Beeaed to Balsa (ba Inquiry, whloa tt Oov-ra Ooaualtua baa boaa clligsotly conducting Bate the gravsehargs that bay beea made against tba eosmber of tbo firm.

Mr. Baatb and Major Chariot E. Quioosy, of tba Arm of William Heath Co, both owa aeaU in tba Stock Exehaog worth from 1X.O0O to 1.16,000 each. A oat la aJao owned by Henry N. Smith, tbe customer whoaa heavy losses caused tba downfall of fleatb Co.

Major Qulnosr and Henry N.

Smith hare both appeared before the Oovsrnliig Committee and made long statements in ibelr own behalf. Tbeae Statements no bint of which has ever Oeen (nade pnblie throw much light on tbe history of a eaae that will lone be remembered aa one of tbe moet remarkable In Wall-street. These statements. It is declared on the authority of one of the Governors of the fjtock Exchange, will Disks It possible fur the- Exchange to acquit potb Oulnoey and Kralthj the exoneration of lisatb baa not been accomplished, thouirb no word yet has been spoken by himself In his own favor. Wbat bis defense will be, however, csn be readily conceived, ills friends aver that for over a year past he has been In aucb poor health as to render him wholly unfit for business, and tbey set up tbe claim that be has suffered severe Rental trouble, and much of the time has been capable of oool businesslike consideration and conduct in abort, tbo defense urged for blm prsoltcallv la Insanity.

Kvtdenoe In this regard Iney be taken aooa by tba Stock Exchange authorities. Major Qalncey tn bta statement before tbe (lovernora said that he virtually bad nothing to do with tba practical business management of the Brm of Heath though retaining his Suanotal interest la the boune. Bad health toreed hira to retire from active work a year ago. Tbe Ann was then not only doing a tbiiv-. tag bust Dees, bat bad a surplus of Its own on hand la tbe sbapo of readily available assets worth kvwr 970U.OUO.

Henry M. Smith was then one of tba principal customers, and bad over $1,600,000 on deptwit with tbe Arm to protect them In his speculative stock operations. His custom was Worth a good deal of money to the firm; It was a sort of custom that any giouse In Wall-street would bsve been triad to secure, bmltb bought and sold heavily, and oommlsaions for repreoKntlng him on tbe fctiiek Exchange netted lleatb Co. a handsome Income. He seemed to be possessed of a Isrge fortune; there appeared nowhere tbe slightest reason, said Major Uulncey.

to suspect that he Bould become financially embarrassed. But still, as a matter of business precaution, before he l.rt town for his health Major Quineey and his rartrier. William Heath, talknd over their rela-ttona with Mr. smith. Tbey agreed that In case any disaster should overtake Hmltn tbey would Itend blm a credit up to $100.000 one-seventa bf their own assets.

When that one-hundred-thousand-do! la rjimlt should be reacbed.howerer, they agreed that bis oontrscta should be made Kood at onoe out or their own funds. Then they ould give him 150,000 to bngln anew. With this understanding Mr. Vuincey says toe left New-York for Virginia, where be remained through the Summer, returning to New-York In September on his wedding tour, bound for Europe. He bad had no word from tbe office during the two or three months previous that led hlca to suspect that any sort of trouble was pre wing, but be did not get away from the city In aa easy state of mind.

On tba morning his tsemer was to sail he was visited on board by Heath and Bmltb. who amazed blm by announ- Slng that the old contract about the one-bun-red-tbousand-dollar limit had not been kept, and that then Smith was in debt to tbe firm for jpver 1220,000. An excited Interview followed, Ibut ft ended by Heath promising that tba losses "vouid be ended at onoe and Smith's big account liquidated. Twenty-Ova thousand share of btook of which Smith was short should be Mugbt In as fast as possible without causing aucb a movement aa would put prices up too Bast. This promise, )n1ncey savg, assured htm that (fair would all be straightened out speedily, and, tbougb heavy losses were oertsin to be Buffered, he still bad no Idea that the solvency 5f tba firm could ba touched.

As soon as be anded la Europe be cabled over to ask If the contract had been carried out. The answer tbst sa got was "something better than wa talked about," Keats red he went bis way, till at js'loe, on Oct. be was overtaken by a dispatch that th firm was bankrupt end bad made an assignment. He hurried to New-York to find himself penniless when be bad believed tbat bis bar in nls Una was worth orer a Quarter of a knllllon of dollars in cash. I Henry N.

Smith before the committee eorrob- rated much of Major Qutncey'a statement, particularly aa to tbe Interview on board tbe steam-fr and tbe contract tbat was made there to liquidate hit big account. Da bad believed tba Bra of Heath Co be aald. to be commanders millions of dollars. When ba bad gotten be-tiiDd because of heavy losses on tbe bear side of hs market be bad not tuoposed tbat be was Imposing on tbem by further deallnrs. At the trm of the failure In October be waa in their bt over Il.0u0.000; but the failure was as great surprise to him aa to anybody.

An effort ma be made to examine Mr. Heath at his bom. SBaa.MasBS.BBaaaaBaassssssam.B.BWasjaBass. MARY IRENE BOYTS WROXQS. fiXTX.

Sartorlus. COMMERCE OF ARTHUR KILL. HOW MB. WIJIAIt PROPOSES TO ASCERTAIN WHAT IT AMOUNTS TO. Two squads of Pinkerton's detectives are now emoloyed on Btaten Island, but at localities widely apart and on duties entirely different.

One party Is still watching at tbe grave of tb late William H. Vanderbllt, at New-Doro. Another ia posted on tbe bank of tb Arthur Kill. A house baa been erected at the latter place for tbe accommodation of tbo detectives. Tbe object of placing detectives on the Arthur Kilt, aa explained by Mr.

Erastus Wlman, la the discovery or tbe commerce of tbe Arthur Kill and tbe daily record of its extent by a competent and disinterested eye-witness, whose report everybody will acoopt. It Is explained that there Is such a lace of Information as to tbe extent of this commerce, and so much misrepresentation as to Its magnitude, tbat some sucb step was necessary In order to ret at tbe exact proportions of the traffic. Tbe only argument urged against bridging btaten Island Bound Is tho extent of tbe commerce affected, and if It can bo proved that this commerce Is insignificant tbe force of tbe argument it Is claimed will be destroyed. Tbe difficulty hitherto In tbe statements tnade bas been tbe separation of tbo commerce of Arthur Kill from tbe extensive commerce of tho Kill von Kull, two different bodies of water, though one runs Into tbe other. For tbe purpose of exaggerating tbe damage to be done the opponents of the bridge have Included tb traffio or both streams, though tbat of the Kill von Kull would be only in tb Slightest possible degree affected by tho erection of tb proposed bridge.

Tbe commerce of the Rill von Kull unaffected by the bridge Includes tbe large number of seagoing ships engaged in tbe oil trade, and tbe traffio of other manufactories recently and largely developed between Coostaoie's Point and Port Johnson. This commerce includes also the coal trade of the Jersey Central from the latter point, the trade of Newark and all tbe streams leading into Newark Bay, and all the traffio from Blizabethport. nine-tenths of which goes south of th site of tbe proposed bridge. On th Arthur Kill proper the commerce is only that of Its own banks, the Karl tan Hiver, and Perth and South Amboy. tbe New-York ooal termini of tb Lehigh Valley and Pennsylvania Railroads.

TEN YEARS OF LITIGATION. AN IROX COMPANY'S SUIT AOAIN8T THE METRO PUT AN RAILROAD COMPROMISED. Tbe auit of tbe New-England Iron Company against tbe Metropolitan Elevated Ball-road Company, which bas been pending In th Superior Court in thia city for nearly 10 years, bas been compromised by tb railroad company paying tbe plaintiff corporation $350,000. The compromise was arranged on Tuesday by tba Metropolitan Company consenting to an entry of Judgment for th amount named, and tbe suit was dismissed yesterday. There have been three trials of this case in tbe Superior Court.

Tbe original suit was brought by the New-England Iron Company against the Metropolitan Elevated Railroad Company and the New-York Loan and Improvement Company, as successors of the Gilbert Elevated Railway Company. The complaint alleged tbat on March 24, 1373, an agreement was entered Into between tbe plaintiff and tbe Gilbert Company whereby the plaintiff contracted to furnish materials for and to erect the elevated railway as soon as assured by the Gilbert Company that all of Its stock had been subscribed and 30 percent, of It paid up. Tbe price a a-reed upon waa $735,000 for each straight mile and $23,000 additional for each curve. As tbe plaintiff waa not employed to build the road 1 lll-t (MM 1 Mwrwvv t.uw tur wuri sua laoor expended and a possible profit ot $400,000 a mile for the 10 miles ot tbe west side section. Until recently the amount claimed waa $4,000,000, with Interest from March, 1873.

Tbe defendant corporations denied that the alleged contract was ever made, and urged that they were not responsible for the act of th Gilbert Company anyhow. Tbe suit underwent various modifications in the many successive years ot litigation, and finally tbe plaintiff's rlaim was whittled down to about $700,000. The counsel representing tbe respective parties to the suit at the settlement were L. R. Clsrk and George W.

Cotb-rtll for tbe plaintiff and Davie. Raps Hot Co. for tbe defendant. Mr. Jullen Davtee, speaking for the elevated railroad company, aald last evening We consider this a vsry- satisfactory 1R0VSSEAVS AT STERN BROTHERS.

Tba brokei looked astonished and retired; Mr.

Cfitral Office detectives arrested yester day i a warrants issued by Justice Welde, at the insts noe of Peter Mitchell and on affidavit of Robi rt J. Mahon. of No. 108 -West Forty-flfth-trec tbe members of tbe Board of Inspectors of tb Sixteenth Election District of tbe Sixth Asm cnbly District, wbo are Isadora Lacks, of No. Attorney -street; Isaac Mass, of No.

175 Bro mo-street; William J. McCarthy, of No, 31 Ride o-street, and George W. Jones, of No. 10 Will itt-street. Tbe charge against them is that on I ov.

Flack and Patrick Kee isn for tbe office of County Clerk by taki ig 130 from the total of ballots cast for Flack and adding them to tbe 73 votes acti ally oast for that tbey certified thai Keenan obtained 193 vote. Tba action aga nst these men was the result of an In res till at I on by a Tammany Hall Committee on Election Frauds, which consisted of Peter Mitchell, (Chi ilrman.) Roger A- Pryor, George H. Forster, Ale lander Tbain, and Judge Monell. Tbe rote, acc irdln to the defendants, was Keenan, 193 Fla 22; Goble, lid: Farley, 224; Menmnger, 65; Hill.

Idle" MoCue urged tbe appointment of he Tammany Hall Inspectors for the district, bul be afterward became a candidate for Senator and matters were somewhat mixed. Although the vote aa given by the Inspectors passed the Secretary of the County Canvassers, whb, it is said, were largely Influenced by Keenan, the oommlttee scrutinized tbe returns to tbe Coanty Clerk and discovered tbat the straight ballot for Flack was marked 120 votes, while he wag only credited with 23 scattering rotes, ana while Keenan's rot was marked aa 78 in a simi-larlmanner, he waa given 193 votes. The detendants told Justice Welde tbat'tbe discrepancy was a clerical error, but he held them foa examination on Saturday in $3,000 each. Joaes and McCarthy were ualled by J.

Tbe Cc mmisBioners, Who recently voted to line tbe sc ueduct tunnel with orick at an expense of $1 500,000, anxiously explained that tbey acted in the best interests of tbe city. It waa decided to ask Engineer of Construction Craven to re-sii a.

For some time past there has been an un-f endly feeling between Chief Engineer Church ai Mr. Craven, and tbe former desired tbe la removal. The Commissioners' declined tc make tbe removal and assigned Mr. Craven tc the duty of consulting with the Corporation lunael in tbe defense of suit for land damage oi In other ca-es. Tbe Corporation Counsel hav-lnjg declared tbat be needed no advice on tbe subject, except wbat he could obtain from the ilef engineer, it was decided to ask Mr.

Craven resign. The Aqueduct Commissioners scout the idea tl at any serious damage will be done to tbe ells and springs of tbe property in the vicinity th new aqueduct, as is claimed by some. illlam H. Webb, whoso property is near Glen-v lie. Is very much wrought up over tbe drying of one of the springs on his land, and he has titled tbe commission of bis intention to begin -ooeedings for damages.

Another man, with tbe ntme of Sbeedy, naa lodged a oomplaint, but ts offered to settle for $35. Tbe Commissioners aim tbat as soon as tbe masonry In the tunnel ii completed tbe drainage of tbe land above will cfase.

In granting the motion yesterday Judge Barrett said: I believe this defendant baa been most unjustly treated by Forst and Levy, and that they have wronged and deceived her throughout. Forst makes no affidavit In answer to defendant's charges, and Levy makea a series ot denials couched in such Illiterate terms tbat It would be difficult to predicate a charge of perjury thereon. Tbedefendant's story is too clear, minute in detail, ana convincing In Its simplicity to be denied ita due effect by a series of arguments and exclamations put into tbe form of an affidavit without giving any clear or plain statement of tne occurrences la question from Levy's standpoint. Tbe Referee has undoubtedly acted in perfect good faith and with entire propriety, but tbe defendant should be relieved from Font's and Levy's miseonduot.n TAKING THE STENOGRAPHER'S NOTES.
