To the How. Common Council: Vents Tbe nation is called on to mourn too loss of one her wiaest and best sons. Henry Clay, the devoted patriot, the enlightened statesman, the eloquent orator, is no more. After a lingering and painful illness, he closed a long and eventful li e. leaving behind him a name which will be cherished and admired wherever the English toils-tie is spoken, as the champion of freedom, the defender of the oppressed.

II death is not merely a National loss, but throughout the world the friends of freedom will mourn it. Long years of devo'ion to his country's welfare, ami unceasing efforts for hr advancement, have secured to him tne gratitude and affection of his countrymen, and friends as warm and true as man could ever claim. But I need not speak or Mr. Clay's character or services they are inscribed in letters of imperisaable glory on the pages of our country's history. I make the official announcement of his death, assured that the Repeeientatives of the first Commercial City or the Western World will testify their regard for the memory of the departed Patriot and Sage, by such nssasures as are adapted to the mournful occasion.

A C. KINGSl.AND, Mayor. Which wes accepted and ordered oil tile. In connection with the above, Aid. Cornell presented the following preamble and relutions Whrreas, The melancholy and afflicting intelligence has been officially communicated to the Board, that death has closed tbe mortal caretr of the illustrious Henby Clay.

I). 8. Senator, the renowned statesman, the accomplished diplomatist, arid the eloquent orator; and H7 rrrax. It is befitting us as a great and free nation, possessing a warm and arden: appreciation of the virtuous and patriotic services of the illustrious men of the Republic, va bile living, and that when an all-wise Providence, in his infinite wisdom, deems it necessary to call from this earthly pilgrimage one of its eminent personages, we deeply leel the oppressing sadness that surrounds us, and that in the demise of Henky Clay we fully reali.e a nation's bereavement. Not only have his virtues and talents endeared him to the people of the" United Stales, but to tbe whole world, who wU, melancholy cheerfulness, render to his memory a unanimous tribute of respect.

The justly rrnowned but lamented Henry Clay has, from his indomitable energy, his accomplished statesmanship, and his diplomatic ability, occupied, in the councils of the nation, the highest positions of honor for more than half a century. His heroic conduct through a long and useful life, entirely devoted to the service or his country, will forever serve a Might example for the present and future generations. Ilia noblo and disinterested love of country hai stamped him emphatically ore of the greatest men of his time his glowing sentiments ol patrio.ism knew no South, no North, no East, no West. He was gciurous, without ostentation, thoroughly republican in his sentiments, and simple in his manners, winning reRect and golden opinions everywhere among the virtuous and good, by the calm dignity ai'd urbunity of his deKrtmenl. Dearly beloved in his family circle, and by all who bad daily or occasional intercourse with him, he has left behind him a name that future generations will revere and bless.

hen the sombre cloud of fanaticism with their dark forhoding aspect threatened our country peace, the great champion of human freedom, not withstanding he had, like the venerable Cincinnatus, retired from the turmoils of public life, came forth again at his country's call, once more buckling on the mighty of conciliation, sacrificing all fi-ctinus of party, dispelling the aspiratiors of sectional dissensions for the preservat'on and perpetuity of our glorious Constitution ami the Union, and thus we find hiin ex pil ing at the Capital Of the Nation, amon; the Representatives of thi wide extended Republic. His powerful and comprehensive mind, ardently enlisted in the cause of his country, was ever ready to assist in promoting its glory, usefulness and indissolubility. He was penetrated with profound respect and loe for the principles of our republican and moral institutioiu, many of which acknowledge with pat err ul gratitude, numberless tavors from his fostering care but the sun of his jut-si a I usefulness has forever set, and the nation will long deplore his loss. His deeds, like the everlasting hills will stand as noble examples, to guide pusieruy in promoting the best.interests ot'our happy Union therefo.e, be it fLcsolveii. That tbe Chambers of the respective Boards of the i lumon Council bedrateil in and remain so for thirty days, that the mendssrs wear the usual bailee of mourn i Y'g for the tame period, that it be earnestly recom-mended to the riti7eiis to cloe thur places of business on the day of the Funeral Obsequies, that ihe proprietors of public places, aiid owners of ships and other vesaels, be re-uue'led to h''itt their rlss at halt mast donna; the day.

The Late Frauds on thk United States Govebnment Investigation before Justice Stuart. The investigation was -commenced yesterday, before Justice Sidney II. Stuart, at the Jefferson Market Police Court.

The first taken up was that of William Merrihew, who stands charged, with forging a claim on the United States Government for a land-warrant in favor of Phebe Hoffman, which name is supposed to be fictitious. The accused was arraigned, and Mr. Ed-' wards appeared as counsel in his behalf. Mr. Latson appeared as attorney for the Government, and said The first evidence I shall offer; is to show that there is no such woman as Phebe Hoffman, and that the name is entirely fictitious.

The Judge 1 wish to know who appears on each side ini this investigation Mr. Edwards here arose and said, I appear for the accused, and I protest against the right of any person to act for the U. S. Government, other than the proper officials and 1 further insist that Mr. Latson shals exhibit his written authority from the proper authorities, empowering bun to act for the U.

S. Government. The counsel continued Tour Honor, we have in this city the legal representatives of the s. Government, and why should they not appear for the prosecution. Mr Hall, the V.

S. District Attorney, is the proper person to appear before yenr Honor on a complaint of Government officials, and not a connsellor-at-law. it new seems that Mr. Lstson farces himself to appear for either Mr J. Preacott Hail, or Mr.

Blunt, tbe District Attorney of this County, who is the only person authorized to appear in the prosecution of a charge on behalf of the people of the State of New-York. Mr. Latson contended he had a perfect right to act as counael, and was recognized by Mr. Heath, the Govern ment Agent, wno waa present. The magistrate decided to allow Mr.

Latson the privilege of acting, and the case was proceeded with. XiAoraf 3d Hemtk was then called asxi direct and cross-examined, aa follow This paper (holding up an application) is one from the file in the Pension Office, attached to the Department of the Interior, at Washington, D.C., which I brought on with one. Afr. Latson Is that paper alleged to be a false document by the United Slates Government? Edwards Oh, that won't do prove the forgery tfyoa.can. Afr.

lmUsomt Weil, I now efler this paper (the Land Warrant as evidence, against Mr. Mernhew, who forged it and I also efler a certificate from Hamilton County, Ohio, showing i hat John Hoffman was never married, and baa ito widow, deceased or living, as swern to in the affidavit procured by the prisoner. Tbe Magistrate ruled this out of order for the present, and Ar. 7rA continued Thia paper is a part and parcel of tbe lot of frauduleut ones filed tbe Pension Ifllce, to ehtatn a Land Warrant ia favor of Poor be Hoffuian. There were tares difterenC sets ui'sjfdavits got Tip ia this ease, purporting to come Trorn tbe fit her, brother and stater, who rt aimed to bo tbe only surviving heirs of John JUlTman, who was is the Louisiana Volunteers (Capt.

Lewis), and died at Poebla. This paper (aa affidavit from Ohio, supposed to be a forgery) has been regarded by tbe Depart me at as gennine, as were all tha others received rroai Ohio. The Government SBbseqoenUy regarded tbe latter claim 6jt brother and sister of Joha Hoffman) only legitimate one. tf 1 1J IV il II Tbe next witness called was John n. MtcGrrrmr, who.

being sworn, says I reside at No. S48 West Twenty-eeeood-aareet, Question, tf Hr. LaisonDo you know ia whose handwriting the body of tbe paper marked A is A. I am acquainted with tbe handwriting of the accused, and believe it his I have oftentimes seen him writs. Had you any knowledge or Information who signed that name Phoebe Hoffman ia that document A I have no knowledge of the signature of Phoebe Hoffman, not having seen it before I dont suppose I have ever seen it before.

Justice Htuart Have yon any knowledge aa to who the author of that signature is A have not. i Have yon any doubt that the body of that paper is in the handwriting of Mr. Merrihew A No. Sir. Tike Jtulgr Mr.

Latson, have yon any more proof relative to this forgery of the signature sa this document Afr. Lai sun 1 only have thia documentary evidence from Ohio, showing that Hoffman was never married. Mr. Edwards strenuously opposed the admission of this documentary evidence without having the parties present to confront them. It never was heard of.

Sir, in any Christian land to admit such papers. We never have seen the parties who purport to have sigaed these, and what do we know but they are forged 1 Hr. Latson I simply offer them to show that this paper before your Honor is a gross forgery. The show that no Phoebe Hoffman ever existed, and for this purpose I submit them for your Honor's decision, thinking, as I do, I have clearly made out the falsity of that document'. Jf r.

Latson -I now offer a letter sent to Washington by Mr. Merrihew, transmitting these forged documents. It was admitted by the Magistrate, and the handwriting clearly identified by Mr. McGregor, as that of Mr. Merrihew.

Annexed is a copy of the letter NEW-YOBK. August 3. 1050. DeabSir: Yesterday, by mistake, I sent you a paoer. in cite of Hokfm an, being very busy.

W. MERRIHEW. Florence Hotel. A power of attorney was also offered by Mr. Latson as evidence, that purports to be signed by Phebe Hoffman, in presence of James Brice, both of which are alleged to be forgeries.

Mr. McGregor was then recalled and deposed that Ihe body of the certificate was all in the hand- writing of Mr. Merrihew, except the name of John -T. Neely the signature of James looks like the hand-writing of Mr. Merrihew, and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I am of tbe opinion the signature of "James Brice," was written by Mr.

Merrihew; had I seen that signature alone, on a piece of paper, I could not have called it the handwriting of Mr. Merriliew without comparing it with some of Merrihew's writing. To the Judsre I At a doubt, "of course," mm whether Merrihew wrote that Bi-'aaurerBrlce at the same time, I have not mcti doubt of it. a delay in the investigation here took place, owing to the absence of Mr. Haskett, who was sent for by a messenger.

illiam J. Haskett was next called, and being duly sworn, deposed as follows A paper (the affidavit of Phebe Hoffman) was here shown to witness, and being asked whose handwriting It was in, he said Had I not been informed I could not say it was Mr. Merrihew's hardwriting. Question bt the STaffistratnCaiyyou from any knowledge, circumstances, orotherwisesy now, whether that is the handwriting of Mr. Merrihew or not, or can you form an opinion' as to whose handwriting that is in A I cannot answer one word upon (hat subject.

By the Justice. Have you ever been the counsel of Mr. Merrihew, whereby you are in possession of any facts concerning Mr. Merrihew's action in this matter, that you cannot reveal A. No, sir I never was his counsel.

By the Justice. Why then can't you answer the question A. Because the question iuquires of me whether I have any knowledge of the paper, which excites my mind as to bis writing. By the Justice. Is the handwriting in this any way disguised from that generally written by Mr.

and if so. in what 1 A. It is in smaller letters, and better written than he generally writes, except in a-power of attorney sometime ago. By the Justice: Did yon testify in the case you speak of, as to the power of at torney A I did, and swore it was his handwriting. By the Justice.

Now, Sir, you are only asked in this rase, whether you ran give an opinion as to this being the handwriting Mr. Merrihsw or not A. My impression would be, it was his handwriting. The power of attorney spoken of above was here shown to witness and he believed the body of the paper was written by Mr. Merrihew, and would be w.lling to swear to 1c as to the signature of James Brice, attached to the Mr.

Latson called bis attention, to which he replied, I am ant prepared to say that it is in the hand writing of Merihew, I once thought it was, but on analysing it, I found my opinion was perfectly fallacious. The examination was continued until after dark, and was finally adjourned over to 3 o'clock this afternoon. St. John's Day. The 21th of June being one cf tbe festivals of the Ancient and HonoraMe Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons, St.

Ordered that the defendants be held i to bail ia two sureties of 9100 each. The United States vsEdtcord F. JVurirm. This case stands adjourned lor one, week. Sur-EEMB Court Special Term.

Before Judge Roosevelt. Stuart, Executor, vs. Perrin. This was an action to foreclose a mortgage executed by defendant to the plain jiff testator for $2,500. On the trial the original securities were not produced, but only the record Iroin the Register's Office.

Diligent search had been made for them! but they could not be found. It was proved tbat tbe testator kept his valuable papers in a small box. On his death the widow handed the key to Ihe executor. Its contents, shortly afterwards, were carefully examined, and among them a package of deeds, bonds, mortgages, certificates of stock, and policies of insurance. A bond of th defendant for $1,000 was found but no trace of that for ft 2,500.

In tbe former there sis placed a slip of paper, written and signed by the deceased purporting to be an orddr on Mr. Stuart, being the Executor named in his will, to pay the defendant, his nephew, for bis services', $5,000.1 The nephew, it appeared, had transacted all his unclejs business, who was very aged and infirm for several yrars before his death tad tbe uncle, upon being tendcti the interest due on tbebonl. twice declined to receive it, and interest consequently had. been paid on either bond. The Court held that uridcr all the circumstances it was fairly to be inferred as rjiatter of fact that the securities had been destroyed by the testator himself with the intent to conceal the obligation.

Second. That, as mailer of law, such destruction was a donation executed of Ihe principle and interest of the debt, and entitled the defendant to have the mortgage record also canceled. 1 Third, that the written document, allheugh not valid for want of form as a cotlicil or testamentary paper, was tbe best evidence of thetj intent and purpose existing ia the mind of the deceased at the tune of kao writing it, sion of facts strongly tofry lf necessary, the conclu and tended resraltlng from the other examinations of the case. The complaint, therefore, so far as respected the foreclosure of the $2,500 mrfrtgage, must de dismissed but as the Executor was fuCy justified, no costs would be allowed against bim or the estate be represented.
