Aahmead, District Attorney of the United State-, informed the Court that two witnesses against the defendants charged With treason, who had been committed for safe keeping, had escaped from prison under circumstances ca an extraordinary character, and fearing that the remaining itnesses might net be in safe-keeping, 1 asked the Court to permit them to be removed rom the debtors opart men to the County prison, ar an order to that effect was made by the Court. Mr. Ashmeadthen moved for a writ of half as corpus, rcturnaCIfcn Friday morning ne: at 11 o'clock, to be directed to James M'Clakey keeper of the prison, to have the bodiestif the two witnesses, said to have escaped, before the Court i the return the writ. The habeas corpus was illowed. This will compel the jailor to make a xetu: to the writ, which will bring before the Court the eircum stances attending the escape of the witnes: es, and the conduct of that officer.

It has been proposed to hold the Cour for the trial of these cases in the Musical Fund Hall or Chinese Museum, for the purpose ot acc mmoda-ting more spectators than can get into the Circuit Court room.

Corrttpondenc of Tk Scia-York Bail Timet.

Pmilapklphia, Thursday, Nov. it, 1651. Tiie telegraph has already apprised ydu of the distressing fire hich occurred in vthia oity last evening. The building destroyed was owned by I. Bruner, woollen manufacturer, and occupied by him; William Wilson, dyer; Bernard ilcNutt, manufacturers D.

I. Donnelly, for spinning and rardings wool, and Messrs. Faulkner Lewis, machinists. Total loss, $35,000 partially jnsureil. The persons who perished in the flames, were Edward Crossly, aged thirty-eight years Miss Mary Ann Browning, aged eighteen, years, arid Miss Arnes Morrow, acred twenty-one years.

These, I believe, are John Browning father to the unfortunate Miss Browning, was very seriously injured, in consequence of springing from an- upper story window. Mary Ann Palmer, a yovlng girl, escaped unhurt by leaping from a third-st ry window. The building destroyed was situated at th corner ot Nixon- and Hamilton-streets, near FaSrmount Water-works. Last night a man named (Stephen Ridney was arrested on suspicion of havi rig fired xhe building, although the supposition is that the 1 i 1 rr nre as eauseu uy acciueni. i ne prisoner as committed for a further1 hearing.

A cold, disagreable rain has sojourned with usall day. 1 have seen a gift, prepared by Martin of this city, to le presented to the illustrious Kossuth. It constats of a miniature of Washington, from Stuart's portrait, set round with pearls. The rame of this is a gold star, and beyond the points of the star projects a cross of St. John, in silver, rich!) chased.

JTwo drawn swords are also represented etween the limbs of the cross. The whole is suspc nded by a gold chain. It forms ornament alout two inches, square, and is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Several of our eitizer.s have, in' the most thoughtful manner, already. taken measures to cont ibute to the relief of the poor people whj suffered the fire last crening.

Judge Kelly heads the list. It is a most woit'iy and creditable movement. Lecture ot the Rev. Dr. Ryder.

The Catholic Institute of New-York give a course of Lectures this winter, the proceeds of lich are. to be devoted to the support of the Hospital of St. Vincent, in Thirteenth-street." The first Lecture of the course was deliv last evening, at the Stuyvesant Institute, by (he very Rev. Jaxks Rydib, D.D., of Philadelphia, his subject being, Lord Bacon's claims to' Greatness examined." The speaker remarked that a great man is a great public benefit. He may be considered a light to illumine the pathway of the rising federation model for observing youth a study which th youthful aspirant fbr honor and ft roe may peruse with 5 pleasure and profit.

But a so-called great man, who Is hot in reality such, is 'not and cannot be a public light and benefit, or a profitable pattern or study for any one! Unfortunately, there is in the present day a great deal pf crowning and worshipping of great men, individuals! who are far from deserving the distinction. Lord Bxcow has been enrolled in the list of the groat men of the is held up as the father of Science, tho parent of Natural Philosophy as the man who raised the torch of science, and threw over science and philosophy an illumination It had not before. He is entitled to none of jthis high commendation yet his claims have been acknowledged almost without, question. Should such unjust homage be countenanced Certainly not. It It th duty of every reasoning being to abandon his prejudices, consider Jntellifenily the claims of bis Idol, and tear it down when found to bo unworthy the approbation which may have been accorded as its due.

jj Lord Bacon, whether considered as a civilian or philosopher, must be acknowledccd by the candid investigator, to be in no reaped entitled to tho titlo pf great- ness. The Rev. speaker hero gave a brief statement of Lord Bacon's origin, and his rapid. rise to distinction and favor, through grossest flattery and the patronage and aid ot Lord Easkx, until ho was appointed the 'advocate sf tho crown. When his friend Bsssx, to whom be was indebted for so much of his success, was beheaded to gratify the wicked passions of tho bloody Queen, Bacon was tho first to justify his death, and by sustaining and approving the to increase his own influence and favor with tho murderess.

This act of treachery so aroused the puhlic mind of England that, more than ones was Bacon's path beset, and his Ufa endangered by the hand of the assassin. Is such a man entitled to tbs appellation of great James ths Fibst succeeded Elizabeth upon tbo Uirone; and Bacox by uaeeaxing flattery and adulation, continued in high favorjat court, and was finally promoted from the oSlce of Solicitor General to the Chaurelarship. Asa judge, instead of being firm, immovable as the rock, the stern, inflexible admin-lotrator of justice, ho was approachable by every man -who had a cause in Chancery and whoever could fee hint best was sore to have the scale (of justice turned la his favor. But finally tb4 venal-ties and injustice of Lord Chancellor Baco.4 became so apparent that-ho was arraigned before i Parliament, when be confessed that he had been tho assassin of Justice, and was tiood heavily, rendered ineligible to fllco, and sentenced to imprisonment for his crime. And this is tho creature who was held up as the great titan of the loth century.

True he was released from his punishment and went his estates, where he devoted himself ts ths pursuit of science, and where be gave to the world ten largo volumes of his productions. The speaker doubted, however, whether any sensible man ever read fortj pages of tho whole of them. In his will he bequeathed to foreign Undo the name which had been disgraced in his own country, and branded as the felon's. A foreign land accepted the bequest. France, in the days of her levity took tj "Swork'sand from the days of the French En-: cycl ueen written a great philosopher.

Bacon mads light of Morality, Jurisprudence and Thoolocf. These were nothing or unimportant compared with Natural Philosophy, which was paramount to all of then.

Could a man bo called truly great who thus mads religion a matter of minor consideration The speaker charged Bacon w.Ha a caption spirit of eppeeition to the Catholic Church, and with attempting to injure it by faJely charging that the Coemographers who discovered the- rotundity of the earth were persecuted ey the Fathers of the church. So far from betng ths persecutor of Science, the Catholic Church has always been its encourager and promoter. Its monasteries ever been the schools of the poor.

Smcc th par- ticnlars attending tho capture oC the band or notorious bank check forrers, as were detailed and puwisned yesterday's Tm' tne 'commercial' and business portion-of onr coriimunitT, have become startled and considerably frightened id hear of the astounding disclosures, respecting this clique of men, who organized themselves into a band, fbrj the purpose of carrying out their extensive' operations. Concocted in a manner similar to the shrewd and cunningly devised plans of the late Monroe Edwards, Who figured so conspicuously several years ago, by forging upon banks and commercial! houses, in this and other large cities throughout the iWed States. Yesterday, Captailt Turnbull, of the Eighth Ward Police, ferreted out three more forged checks, that were recently paid, at the banking institutions here annexed. One for 300, and! another for with tjie forged signatures or Walter Bowne, attached, were cashed at the Bank of K'eW-York, "where Mr. transacted his financial and money affairs.

One for $180, dated July 16th, ISM, made; payable to George B. May, and purporting to have the genuine signature of Mr, J. F. Jdnes, was presented at the Fulton Bank last summer, but detected in time to prevent payment. Tie -important case was to have been resumed yesterday, at 3 o'clock, P.

and as ths hour arrived the Police Court was crowded to excess, with merchants, bankers, brokers, and other citizens, who seemed anx-ions to ge a glimpse at the forgers, and hear the further disclosures that are expected to be made in due time by certain parties, who have been traced out by the author-, ities having the matter in hand. jllowever, the spectators were-disappointed, as the investigation was postponed by iuaiice Osborne, until Monday next, at 2 o'clock, P. M-, withla viewof obtaining additional testimony, which will strengthen the; case, materially, respecting some of tie accused parties, who are already under arrest. One of the gang noticed in our report of yesterday, nanied Ben White, resided in with his family, and. when' Capt.

Turnbull proceeded there, to arrest him, be was ii bed, and feigned a severe illness, to avoid the execution of a process that was issued for his body. Capt. T. ielleving he was sincere in his statement, aU lowed hint to remain but, upon i mature reflection, and deeming advisable to prevent his escape, he set a watch upon the premises, Notwithstanding all this precaution, the rogue managed to leave his house unobserved, and 'thus fled saying to his wife he was going to rrtiiadiilhis As soon las he was missed, Captain Turnbull started in pursuit! of htm, and, strange to say, found him snugly stowed away in a third-story apartment of the New-Vork Hospital, where he had gained admittance, under the pretense of having contracted a disease during a passage from California. The accused was at once secured and consigned to a cell in the Tombs, to await further action.

Captain Turnbull, aided by officer proceeded to the house of this White, which searched, and found a large russet trunk, containing valuable Jewelry and other property, of considerable amount, whjch no doubt are the proceeds of a The goodsfwere accordingly removed to the Police office; and placed in charge of Mr. Sidney It. Stuart, whom owners can apply and see the property. The wife of this White is an aniiable woman, and she yeluntarUy informed the officers, ithat, fer a long time, she has Suspected her husband was- connected with something dishonest, and at once handed Captain Turn-bull $40, in botes of the Broadway Bank, which she said he gave to her a short rime since these funds were handed over 'to Mr. Stuart, the Police Clerk, and undoubtedly they are 'a portion of the money procured from the above Bank by the forged checks previously noticed.

Another Cask or McEDta and Inquest. Some eight or ten days ago we published in The Time the particulars of a case of 6tabing that occurred in Riyingtonr-stieet, in which a young man by the name' of Basil Blair, 'residing corner of 6b.eri.fl" and Rivington-streets, was felled to the pavement by a dirk knife, during a severe struggle with two desperadoes, named John Steckeinester and John Shafler, Who assailed him without provocation while he was quietly going home. On Tuesday the unfortunate victim of the knife breathed his. last, at the house of this family, notwithstanding every effort Was made to save his life by skillful physicians. Yesterday afternoon Justice Mountfort, acting as Coroner, proceeded to the residence of the deceased and held an inquest upon the body, and thoroughly investigated how and in what manner he came to his end.

Several witnesses were sworn, who testified to the facts as previously noted in this paper, and after a long and patient examination the jury rendered a verdict, implicating th aecused and magistrate accordingly committed them to prison to await further action in the matter. The deceased was born in the old country, and was 28 years of age. i I 4 AcciDxrfT at ihi Esic JIailroad Depot. Last evening about 5 o'clock, as steamboai belonging to the N. Y.

It appears Mr. Toll was walking up the plank, when he suddenly missed his footing and fell as above Mr. John Cisco, one of tke attache of the jersey City Ferry Company, happened to be standing oh the wharf at the time of the occurrence, and by his exertions the injured man was rescued from a watery grave and conveyed to the Fifth District Police Station, whets he was attended by Dr.

Kil bourne, who was immediately- procured by Captain Moneypenny. jj -f -5 I A MitsiK-8 Mas IVni Drowthed.

50 Front-street, upon a warrant issued by Justice Lothrop, wherein he stands charged with embezzling $50 from Mr. Robert Mertle, a merchant residing at No. 476 Fourth-street, who alleges in his affidavit that, on or about the 27th of January, 1650, said Johnson was in his employ as Clerk and Book-keeper, and he (MrMerkle) being. deficient in finances to meet a Mr. J.

Mr. Johnston was examined according to law, and held to ball in the sura of to answer.

Judge BibEE, and Aldermen Do doe and Smith. Trial and Conviction for Grand Larceny. A colored man named Thomas King was placed at the bar this morning, charged with stealing a bale of cotton, valued at $40, from the store of Mr. Caldwell, at No. 41 Water-street, on or about the 1st of October last.

The evidence of guilt was conclusive ajrainst the prisoner, and tbe Jury rendered a verdict of guilty without leaving their seats. The Court then remanded him for sentence. Another prisoner named John Otting was placed upon his defense, to answer an indictment charging him. with stealing-a gold watch, valued at $50, from possession of Augustus Schraer, which belonged to his wife. The evidence against the accused was proof positive, and the Jury therefore i convicted him, and the Court sentenced him to the Slate Prison for the term of two years.

I Another man named Christian Gallison was arraigned upon a charge of Grand Larceny, in stealing a gold watch and chain, valued at $120, from room of Mr. Win. Sawyer; who resides at the Battery Hotel. It appeared in evidence, that the complainant left the property as above stated, where, it is alleged, the accused took it from. The case was not concluded in consequence of several witnesses being absent, and it was postponed.

Still another person by tho name of John Dulhantes, was placed at the bar npon an indictment charging him with the commission of a Grand Larceny in stealing tbe sum of $56 81 in cash, from tbe dwelling of Mr. Richard Taylor, residing at No. 547 Hudson-street. The evidence on the part of the prosecution, was very conclusive against tbe prisoner, which was not refuted by the defence, and the Jury found him cuilty of the crime whereupon the Court consigned him to hard labor in the Mng sing state mson tor tne term or 3 years.

Yesterday afternoon, soon after one o'clock, a serious accident occurred in Raymond-street, near Lafayette-avenue, by which two lives were lost, and several other persons are not expected to survie. The particulars as near as we can learn them, are as follows About One o'clock a boy employediri the Polytechnic Manufactory of Messrs. Morris et Rourke. in Ra ymon d-etreet attempted to kindle a fire in a stove, which had just been put up, when by some means or other, some communication of fire to a quantity of compound prepared for the manufacture of firs works, caused an explosion by which two boys were killed, toe named John Duffy, about fifteen years of age, whose parents reside corner of Raymond-street and Lafayette-avenue the other aged fourteen, named. Michael N.

Cue, whose parents reside in Willoughby-street, between Hudson-avenue and Navy-street. Their remains were shockingly mangled. The ether persons injured are as follows i. Michael Conlin, aged fifteen, badly burnt and not ex-, pected to recover, carried to HospitaL Michael FiUgerald, aged fourteen, at Hospital, and not expected to recover. Peter Skelly, burned about the head, breast and arms, at ths Hospital, not dangerous.

John Powlan, burnt similar to Skelly, at the Hospital will recover. i Patrick FiUgerald was burnt severely, but not dangerously; was taken to his residence in Livingston-street' John Newman was in the upper part of ths building, but escaped but slightly burnt about the head. Another man, name unknown, had his hand badly burnt. The building was ot wood, one and a half stories high, owned by Miss Jackson, and was of considerable value. When ths explosion took place, an alarm of firs was given, but everything was consumed or leveled ts the gTOUnd.

r- i The firemen were early! on hand, and some of them assert that ths boys that were burnt ia the building have been rescued alive if it had not been told them that there was powder ia the building that had not exploded. There seems to have been something wronx "about this PRICE ONE CENT. affair, as there were but few people, if any, in ths neighborhood, Imagined that they wore living near; a mine which micht explode at aay moment. It was generally supposed that stained-glass was manufactured in ths building. The Conner will hold an inquest thii day.

The Kings County Board or Canvassers. At tho conclusion of the labors of these gentlemen last evening, they proceeded to the Montague to par-take of a supper according to immemorial custom in this county. Ths founder of the Feast is always the candidate who has obtained the largest number of votes. Oa this occasion, ths distinction lighted on Hon. John Van-derbilt, who, living in the country at some distance, de.

puted Mr. Judah Toorhees, the Assistant County clerk, to do the honors in his absence. The invitations were extended to tbe press, and aa excellent repast was prepared. Henry A. Moore, County Jadge, elect, pro-sided, and T.

G. Bergen, of New-Utrecht; Chairman of the Board, occupied the Vice-President's chair. The little animosities that will arise during "election times," appeared by this arrangement to be completely buried in oblivion, with the dose of the canvass, and we seldom saw such thorough unanimity at any Board, as at this festive one. Whigs sad Democrats seemed equally in good humor, and all determined to enjoy the good the gods provide," a praiseworthy attempt in which they appeared generally to succeed.

Tuesday evening, from information received. Captain McKinney, of the Third District Police, accompanied by officers Cary, Daugherty, aad Fox, of the same District, proceeded to a place designated ia De raw -street, between Columbia and Van Brunt-streets, where they discovered five boys, occupying a habitation under ground, and so concealed from view was the entrance that no person would discover it, unless his attention was particularly called to It. Their apartments are large enough for comfort, and fitted up with every convenience for an underground life. The oldest one of the party is but 18 years of fge, aad the youngest but 10 years of age. Yesterday morning four more of the same party were found in a similar hole in the ground," in Tiffany-place, with the exception that tbe latter had two rooms, and were accordingly a little more aristocratic.

Whatever may, in reality have been the intentions of these boys, they certainly were for no good purpose. We trust the matter will be thoroughly investigated, as some of the property which has so mysteriously disappeared frorn our midst occasionally, msy be traced Jrocn these arrests. The boys are locked up waiting an examination. City Before Judge Giiiewsoo. Action of Slander.

Wagstaff vs- Yoxmg. This was an action for slander, in which tbe defendant, was charged with having called the plaintiff a thief, and saying that he-ought 10 have been in the State Prison. Both parties were limbs of tbe law, and the controversy had arisen in the neighborhood of the City Hag. The defendant has been recently admitted the plaintiff is a new importation, and it seemed was not admitted, but has obtained some little notoriety. Ths trial occupied the Court all day, and the Jury, after about Ave minutes', conference, returned a verdict for ths plaintiff six cents damages, and six eents costs.

1 NEW-JERSEY. Th Newark Fiki. The verdict of the Coroner's Jury, which held an inquest on the remains of Mr. and. Mrs.

During, was, that they were burned to death in their house, which took fire from some cause unknown. The young man, mentioned as having been absent, returned in the afternoon, having remained over night at his father's, and. been occupied in gathering leaves through the forenoon. About twenty five cent pieces were found by the Jury in searching the ruins. A strong suspicion still exists, as it Is certain there wss money in the house, but there Is not evidence sufficient to warrant a verdict of murder.

The affair must remain for the present enveloped in mystery. An attempt to escape from the Paterson jail was made on the 5th inst. by H. Vreeland and N. Williams, who were sentenced to the State Prison at the last term of the Passaic They had removed part of the sheet iron lining of their cell, aad nearly penetrated the wall, when Vreeland, thinking ho was suspected by tbs Sheriff, sent him a note intimatiag that some of tho other prisoners meditated aa scape.

Ths 8 be riff, however, soon discovered, by examination, who the real rogues were and Immediately manacled aad on the next day conveyed thtm to ths State Prison. Tbo day previous to the night of their meditated escape, they poisoned a savage watch dog belonging to the prison, but did not succeed in killing him. Vreeland was formerly a Deacon in the Reformed Dutch Church, at Pompton. The fifth annual public meeting of the Es sex Co. Bible Society, was heldWednesay, at Rah way.

Ths services commenced with prayer from Rev.

I cannot allow such a serious ebargeaa-tliat contain in the last paragraph to remain for a ixj It is entirely untrue. I made no such threat either directly or Indirectly.

So far from it, it distinctly aad openly avowed; as our Intention, if the Company sua reeded in Inducing ths Board to retrace: their aej-s, pursue the matter by legal means, throc- tLe lei tr.b-anals. A friendly spirit towards tho success of the ro4 1 was uniformly expressed, but ths wish and determination was alas expressed not to allow Atlaat ic-street to te mooopoiixed, our property injured end lives JoopardeJ by this Company, that they may he saved ths cost of de necessary number of horses, when ths Companies running into New-York and other cities, are; forbid tie ct.e of steam In ths streets. It tea stated by ens gentleman who spoke, that were the ordinance repealed hs woul not answer for ths pesos of the Temh was ths feeling there. But even that, was, I believe, not intended as a threat. Not a disrespectful word or sentlmtnt was applied to tho Board of Aldermea.

The rest of the report contains the usual proportion of truth and error that character! is the reports of some of the New-York papers, whenever they attempt to represent anything on this subject. The impertinence" referred to was that of former report in your paper, and too mildly was Ihs effuuee characterized. i It is true that no special advocate" Was employed on the other aide, nor was one needed i for the Chairman of the Committee seemed to be quite snSHcient to represent tbe interests of tbo Comnanv.

as bs alwavn has dons elsewhere. A more faithful friend the Company cannot desire. I did declare our determined opposition to the use of steam on Atlantic-street, and said that if we were tonrer trifled with by the Company, our next move would bo to procure the removal of tho road itself; and thia is now most emphatically repeated. There are some facts involved in tho history of this matter, that may yet see tbs light, if the friends of the Company choose it. As an advertisement, you wm please publish the following pretest, read on the occasion referred to.

Lloyd." To tke Special festsurfe on tke tf Inert of as of Steam Potter an JLtlanttc-ttrtet, kg Vema 'tons' JiaUrtwd Costseay. undersigned, for themselves, and on behalf of others residing and owning real estate upon and near Atlantic-street, In the City of Brooklyn, respectfully represent to the Special Committee on tUs subject of n.a use of Steam Power upon tbe eaidatree by the Long Island Railroad Company, that tbe said owners and residents have for a long period of titjfie suirered great inconveniences and pecuniary losses, by reason of the uo of steam power upon ths said street by tbe said Rail- msit. .1 That they, or tbs sriginal residents end owners to whose rights they have succeeded, consented to tho uss of said street fbr the track of the rail-road company, and e-atuitously threw into the said street forty feet of their nd along its entire length, upon tke express declaration mads byt he Company, and ouretpress uaderstanding. that tteam was not to be used in the street, all of whica is matter of record. And they submit, that having thus gratuitously dedicated their private and vajuaule rval estate to public use, upon an express snd well-understood condition, the company were in good faith' bound not to apply for leave to use steam, and the municipal authori-tina were in like manner bound in good faith not to permit the use of steam upon tbe said street and that such owners and residents are entitled to the aJd of a Court of Equity, to restrain the use of steam on said street, in violation of said condition.

And they further represent, that they have heretofore remonstrated to tho Commot Council against the use of steam by the said Company, in violation of its plighted faith and of our rights aud interests; that two special Committees of the said Coinmcri Council made a protracted investigation. of the said matter, and came to a conclusion aramst the use ef steam on said street, which conclusion was coota.nej In a lengthy and elaborate report. In which Fs (rounds -and reasons weje fully and ably stated, and that trie Common Council, after much discussion and mature de liberation, sanctioned said conclusion and' report, and passed aa ordinance prohibiting the use of steam ou said street. i And they further represent that the power of-the Common Council to pass said ortii nance havmf been den.J by the said company, and the ordinance itself having been openly defied and violated for several sionths, tho Civil end Criminal Courts of the State upheld the said ordinance and enforced its penalties Scanxt the said company, till it was oblieed to desist from urther viola tions. i And they further represent that they feel themselves aggrieved and oppressed after having established ther rights ia so protracted a contest, to be oblige by the voluntary abandonment by tho Common Council of its position, to enter again upon the long and dreary course of proofs, arguments, and remonstrance in order to enjoy rights as valuable and aa sacred as any that attach to the Ow nership of property and are protected by the laws of tbe land.

They respectfully desire that tber may be Informed by the Committee, what questions of fact, if any, they par-pose to investigate and make tbe subject of proof; and that a time may be appointed, and an opportunity given to produce proofs, and to substantiate tl.s facts stated herein, and ia the said report on the subject of tho use of steam on Atlantic-street, heretofore adopted by the Common Council. i And, finally, they indulge the hope tbat a just sense cf their duty, as tho guardians of the rights person and property of the citizens of Brooklyn, wilt withhold the Common Council from consenting to reinstate a nuisance npon one of the greatest and most important thoroun-fares of the city to the ceaseless inconsenias.ee of alt who live upon or are obliged to use the street, to the great deterioration of real estate upon snd near to it, and to the constant danger and the not infrequent destruction of ho man life.
