Srooklgn Bak. About that Square. Wo regret to say that the rumored purchase of the beautiful and commanding plot of ground on the Heights known as Pierrepont's place, together with a few adjoining lots, for tho purpose of converting it into a public square, or park, has not yet assumed that authentic shape which the fifty odd thousand citizens of Brooklyn have so long and earnestly desired. Indeed we begin to suspect that tho wish of those who started the rumor was father to the thought although it is not improbable that such a project may be on foot. On one occasion, when a succession of hot and sweltering days had set the more benevolent portion of the citizens a thinking about the necessity of somo elevated breathing spot, a subscription of $80,000 was raised by private individuals towards the improvement An appeal was then made to the City Fathers, but they were engaged at the time in contemplating the wreck of certain other schemes, and of course were in no humor to listen to propositions which involved so larce an outlay as a hundred thousand dollars.

In vain was it urged that a better investment, regarded merely as a pecuniary speculation, could not be made and in vain, too, was it argued that no wise and paternal government would deprive its subjects of those innocent recreations and amusements which were indispensable to health and cheerfulness. The Fathers were inexorable, and the application was denied. Tho owners, however, as if conscious that the time would come when the city would discover its mistake and bid for the property, have retained it unencumbered notwithstanding the inducement to part with eligible lots must have been very great. But the time has now arrived when a final discussion should be bad and disposition made of the subject. Already have excavations been commenced in immediate proximity to the contemplated square, and a small strip of board notifies the passer by that another portion is for Shall the site be lost, then, to the citizens at largo Shall it be diverted from the purpose for which it seems to havo been designed by Nature, and the numerous advantages it combines for one of the most beautiful promenades in the world be engrossed by two or three dozens of families? We would that the Common Council, in a body, as well as every citizen who lives within a mile of the spot, would repair to it on one of these bright summer mornings, when the sun, just risen from his couch, begins to dart his most captivating beams over the scene, and gild the spires and housetops of the neighboring cities or, better still, on one of these brilliant evenings, when the day god has retired to rest, and the westering light is reflected upon and adorns every object, and there ask themselves the questions we have stated.

Surely none but the most incorrigible stoics would It would be easy to show the good effects which such a place would have both upon the manners and morals of Iks people but we have neither time nor room to day. We merely desire to call public attention once more to the subject, and ascertain whether something cannot be done to realise, as Car lyle would say, the destiny of the Heights. Whatever is done, should be done quickly. Indefensible. Tho tenacity with which Mr.

Elcazor Lord clings to the office of President of the New York and Erie Railroad Company, in defiance of the stockholders and in opposition to the clearly expressed wishes of the public, is a most flagrant violation of propriety. It is well known to us, at any rate that the bill in regard to this important work, which passed the Legislature at its recent session, could not have been forced through the Senate without an indirect promise that Mr. Lord would resign. We did not then understand tho cause which rendered this condition imperative, but supposed it to be remissness, or bad management of some kind. It would appear, however, from a statement which we find in the New York Tribune of to day, that there were specific and weighty reasons for the course adopted, as the annexed schedule of monies received by Mr.

Lord will show Amount of salary received from April 29, 1835 to May 27, 1841 $16,913 78 Expenses, sundries, itc. 10,431 29 Received for Rock for building pier at Picrmont 10,000 00 Received on estimates for Earth for pier at Piermont 16,000 00 For credits on his Stock account 10,000 00 $63,335 07 There has also been paid him for Land, certain sums, the amount of which is not precisely known. The same paper says that matters were brought te a crisis by Mr. Brown refusing to pay the July interest, and to make no more advances whilo the Road is in its present hands. This alternative is to be regretted, as it will have a tendency to diminish public confidence in the work.

Still, it may have been necessary to "cutoff the supplies," in order to bring the President to lis senses. Individuals who are impervious to all other arguments, are often convinced by such an one as this. It is too bad that a work of such vast importance should bo periled by the obstinacy of a single man. Yet such is now tho fact. True, Mr.

by way of adding insult to injury offers to resign upon certain conditions, ono of which is, that a sum adequate to the completion of the road shall be first subscribed Prudent men, however, do not care to risk anything more. On the whole, we sh juUI advise the stockholders to form an unconditional resignation' party, after the manner of the people of Rhode Island, and resolve not to slacken their efforts until the great object is accomplished. Meanwhile our Brooklyn capitalists should contribute Coward tho maintenance of tho siege by withholding their subscriptions. A few days ago wo suggested a contrary course, but the offer of Mr. Lord hud not then appeared, and has since wholly changed the aspect of the case.

Fatal Accident. Last evening, about 8 o'clock, as Mr. John Van Sicklen, an old and respectable citizen of New Lots, was driving towards home, he encountered, near Barr's Tavern, Fulton street, a train of swill carta and endeavoring to pass them, drove against a pile of bricks, by which his wagon was upset and himself thrown under the wheel of a cart, which passed over his breast, and injured ljim so badly that he died at ten o'eloek this morning. He was an estimable man in private life, and his sudden and melancholy deeoase will be deplored by a largo circle of attached friends.

29s. (CT We have just been made acquainted with the cause of the accident at the Fulton Ferry this morn ing, as noticed under our local head. It appears that the boat had reached the bridge and been chain. up, as usual, when the New Haven steamer came along. The surge from this latter, acting upon the ferry boat and the bridge, caused a working of both up and down.

Every one saw the danger, but the mules being within three or four feet of the boat, and attached to a heavy load, could not stop, and their hoofs were caught, as stated. If blame attaches to any one it is the pilot of the New Haven boat which, it is said, was engaged in racing. We have reason to know that the boats upon the ferry are managed with the greatest care, and that nothing which prudence and foresight can suggest by way of security to the lives and property of those who cross in them is omitted. It fact, we should not hare deemed it necessary to make any reference to this subject were it not that two or three accidents, happening in succession, might induce the public to think that ordinary care was net taken.

At their request he accompanied them a short distance, when the assailant met two or three of his cronies, and they went off together. This," he properly remarks, should not be and yet we do n't conceive it possible to prevent such conduct entirely. Our police department needs additional force, and a plan, we believe, is maturing for that purpose but if it were increased four fold, an occasional outrage would be perpetrated. We think jt safe to remark, however, that the character of Brooklyn, as a moral and orderly city, will not suffer by a comparison with that of any other, having an equal population, in the country.

A med ical friend of ours who, some years sines, visited Paris under circumstances most favorable to an entree to a most interesting circle that of the survi vors and ci devant supporters of the empire," tells a capital story, as he heard it related by the celebrated General Excelmans, one of Napoleon's paladins. It was at a dinner party, composed of some of the survivors of Waterloo, a few of the younger relatives and the scion of an ex king on a visit from his home in America, and to whom our friend owed his introduction to the circle. Some question arose about bravery, when the younger members of the company were electrified to hear the venerable and heroic Excelmans gravely and seriously declare that men were all coward in the "dark The General smiled at their expressions of dissent, remarked that it ry litn vouth." and proceeded to tell the following anecdote in support of his strange declaration. There was a young hot head in the Emperor's service, who, burning for action, and his duties for the time affording no opportunity, at last resolved to fight a duel, and accordingly, choosing to construe some remark or other of an older and superior officer into an insult, challenged him.

The old soldier, waiving all considerations of rank, agreed to meet the young man, but on the following unusual terms. The time should be night, the placo a room, in opposite comers of which they were to stand. The seconds, having placed their men, were to withdraw outside of the door, taking the candles with them. The word should be given from without, when he who had the first fire should discharge his weapon, and the seconds bearing the light should immediately rush in These strange conditions were accepted, the time arrived, and the seconds placed the parties as agreed upon withdrawing immediately, and leaving their men in the dark. The word was given, the fire was heard, the door was re opened, and there stood the elder of the two, bolt upright in the comer, his adversary's ball having entered the wall so close to his head that the escape seemed little less than miraculous.

Itwas now the old soldier's turn to fire they were again left in the dark, the word was again given from the outside, and instantaneously with the discharge, tho seconds rushed in to find the challenger prostrated upon the floor not having yet recovered himself from the trick to avoid the ball, which, on examination, it was found would have killed him. The young man was covered with confusion, and the seconds were overwhelming bim with the expression of their scorn, when the veteran stopped them. Not so fast, my young friends," said he, you will grow wiser. Where do you suppose I was at the first fire? On my hands and knees in the corner, but, ma foi I was up quicker than he Par dieu, Messieurs, we are all cowards in the dark It was afterwards whispered to our friend, that the story was an actual fact, and that the elder of the parties was no other than the brave warrior Excelmans himself.
