Your committee aro of tho opinion that sums nv.tj.rn of relief ought to bo fact ISiS we cannot control, demands it much ittRiIl ta gratified to bo well assured otherwise, canno7fft think that some system of relief will have to bo rarrled on for at east one year, and with the increasing demand tat volunteers an expenditure of at least 5,000 per week will have to be incurred. As embodying the conclusions 11 which your committee have arrived thoy oflfer for ndnn tion the following: BaoP' RESOLUTIONS. Resolved, First That a Commission be organized for the distribution of such moneys as may be appropriated by the Board for the relief of the families of volunteers in the military service of tho United States from this County.

Third That the Bald Commissioners in disbursing such fund be governed by tho following rules aud regulations Rule Is'. Any loudly to be entitled to relief from this fund must have been dependent upon the soldier for support at the time of enlistment, and reside in and have been resident of this county prior to June 1st, 1861. Families having other resources and families of Commissioned officers aro. not entitled to aid. Families of volunteers who may have been wounded while in the service and since discharged may continue to receive relief while such volunteers remain disabled from such wounds, or should a volunteer fall in battle relief may be continued to his family should they bo in need.

Rule 2d. Relief shall only be granted to tho wife, children under fourteen years of age, aged or infirm parents, or widowed mother of tho soldier. Rule 8 When the soldier has a wife only, or a wife and child, or children, she or thoy, as the case may be, shall be considered as Ihe extent of his family. When the soldier has do wife or children, but aged or infirm parents depending upon him for support, the amount of relief shall not in such cases exceed the sum of $2 per week. In special or extreme cases the commissioners may use their own judgment as to the proper amount aud manner of relief.

31, 3S61. W.m. 31. Hazzaxd. Sup.

Tuttle to bring the matter before the Board moved the adoption of the report. Mayor Kat'lleisch desired to have the matter postponed so that the members might consider over it. There were some things he would like to examine into. For instance tho distribution of the fund is handed oer to the Superintendents of the Poor from the commencement objection was strenuously made to have those who obtain relief in this way mixed in with the usual applicants for County charity. He hoped the report would be laid over until tho next meeting.

Agreed to. NO SECTIONAL LEGISLATION. Sup. Talbot introduced a resolution giving the 13tli, 14ih, 15th, 16ih, i7th, ISth and 19th wards the benefit in this years tax levy of any collection since the general tax list was made up in the 1st of August. Mayor Kalbfleisch was entirely opposed to this sectional legislation.

We are here to look after the interests of the whole county and not a part of it. Ho had no objection to the resolution if it was made to. embrace all the wards, if the taxes for the presout year could be reduced thereby: but he was opposed to giving one district the benefit of it. Sup. Crooke said this attempt at partial legislation had been tried year afier year in the Board.

The resolution was laid on the table. Sup. Ryder from the Committee on Accounts of storekeeper, report the accounts of that official verv correctly kept, and the management of tho department" under his control excellent Report accepted. AB0VT THAT DlNNEP. Sup.

Booth desired to have tho place for the next meeting of the Board changed from the county buildings (as agreed upon at last meeting) to the jail. When the Board met at tho county tnutitutions very little business waB done but examining the buildings. At the next meeting of the Board there were several important matters lo be attended to, and he thought it better for that reason to meet at the Jail. One of tho members suggested that as the officials there had been notified and probably had made preparations, this postponement mignt cause trouble. Sup.

Crooke in the chair, said if "theso preparations" meant junketing at the expense ot the county in its pauper institutions, he had opposed it for 35years, and would always oppoee it Mayor Kalbfleisch was opposed to feasting at the expense of the county, aud was opposed to fasting also. When the Board last met there, he drove from his ofllce without dinner to the public buildings, and was not able to get even a cracker there. He thought there should be more medium between junketing and fasting. Sup. Kirby had no desire to examine the buildings on an empty stomach.

Finally the matter was dropped, and the Board will meet at the almsbouseon the 39th inst. This body held a Special meeting yesterday afternoon at the County Jail. Snp. Crooke occupied tho Chair and a (Juorum of members answered to their names. Tho minutes of tho last meeting wore read and approved.

DEFICIENCY Or WATER BENT. Sup. Sludwell presented a communication from tho Mayor and Comptroller ehowiDgthe amount of the deficiency of the Water rent, to meet the interest of Water debt.

ired to Committee on Local Taxes to put in tox list for the coming year, THE BELIEF OF THE VOLtrNTEERS HO MORE MOSEY CAN HE KAISEn IN ANTICIPATION OF TAXES. A communication was received from tho County Treasurer showing that it would be impossible to raise money in anticipation of tho taxes as has been done, as the following figures show. Total amount oi deficiency of taxes as per 'statement of July 31. 1861 $216,020 10 Thc.amounts already directed to bo borrowed by resolution ol your honorable body are as follows llesohuion of June 1361 $50,000 00 Aug. 6 25,000 00 23 10,000 00 Sept.

8 65,000 00 Amount of deficiency received from Collector Bince July SI, 1S'50 5S Amount supposed in hands of collector. 9,000 00 Advanced by State Comptroller 2,092 00 Balance of deficiency 89 25 $216,020 S3 The Trcaturer, while staling that it is not to be expected that ne can declare that there is a deficiency where none exists, does not desire to be understood as throwing any obstacles in the way of raising money for the support of those whose fathers, husbands and brothers are flahling in defence of their country. Ho suggests that a committee be appointed to see on what terms money can be raised from the moneyed institutions of the county in anticipation ol the action of the Legislature. Mr. Pralt moved that the matter be referred to tho Speeiul Committee on devising a plan for raising money, and that the Mayor and chairman ol the Board (Sup.

Crooke) De added to such committee, to report on the suggestion made by the Comptroller relative to raising the money. Sup. Talmadge did not not like, in the absence of the Chairman of the Committee, to take on himself to say how long the money now in the hands of the relief committee would last, but he thought it would not holdout until the 20lh, the lime for the next meeting of the Board. He supposed that as the Board had every confidence in the committee it might be referred with power. Mayor Kalbfleisch hoped the latter motion would not prevail.

The Board was now assuming doubtful powers, and lie did not believe in delegating those powers to a committee. He understood from one of the members of the Board that there was money enough to last until after the next meeting, when the committee could report. Sup. Studwell gave it as his opinion that the moneyed institutions would not lend the money unless the Board acled in the matter. Mayer Kalbfleisch said it would not be necessary to raise the money required all at once; small sums for the immediate wants of the committee would be all that was needed.

Wh le as much in lavor of relieving the families of the volunteers as any man he hoped the Board would act on a matter so important and not leave it to a committee. Sup. Kirby (Chairman of the Relief Committee) having in the meantime entered staled that the money in the hands of the committee would last until after the 20th. Sup. Tivttle suggested that it would be proper to name the aggregate of amount of money that it would bo thought lieeof sftryto raise.

Mayor Kalbfleisch thought this a matter for the consideration of the committer: the best way would be to make arrangements to borrow the sum required weekly. Sap. Crooke said the plan can bemade very simple. There are ten banking institutions in tins county, it' they come forward to aid us, $5,000 from each of them, would make It could be drawn from each bank that sum was not found to be enough it might be necessary to raiEC a further instalment of $5,000 each. By adopting this plan no possible derangement of business can take place; for the money being drawn in small sums from the banks will find its way back there from week to week.

Mayor Kalbfleisch thought some reference should be had to the capital of the banks some of them had a capital ol $500,000, tho capital of others w.as but $150, 000. The amount might bo made pro rata to the capital. After some further discussion tho motion of Sup. Pratt to refer the matter to the committee for report was adopted. THE VALUATION OF THE UKAI.

Tattle, from the Special Committee appointed to devise a plan for relieving the families of the volunteers presented the following report: To die Hoard of Supervisors of Kbiy County The Special Committee to whom was referred the matter ol devising a definite plan for the distribution ofsuch money as may bo appropriated by the Board for the relief of the families of volunteers, beg respectfully to report.

Your committee, considering the largo amountof money involved and the nature or the trust to be administered, have deemed the matter of a propor plan lor tho distribution of this fund to be one of the greatest import, ance, and have given tho matter a corresponding amount of time and thought. Your committee have made themselves familiar with the plans in operation In this county and in the city of New York, and we find that in both methods there is room for much abuse of the generosity of the county as the relief is now granted. Your committee believe the greatest difflcultv to bo overcome is the selecting of lit persons as the agents of the county in this matter. In many instances tho ward committees flnd the duties quite onerous, and lo devote all the time that should given to the proper dischargoofthis duty would encroach too much upon their own private business. Your committee think that the labor attendant upon a proper discharge of this duty was not contemplated bv the members of this Board when accepting the office of Supervisors.

Yet your committee have reason to know thut tho various members have willinglv made the sacrifice of time and convenience but we'a'ro also led to believe that il the matter eouM be put i other god hands the members of this Board would gladly be relieved of tho labor. Your committee are also led to believe that a suffi cent number of our most worthy and reliable citizens can bo found who will be willing and who can without detriment to themselves devote the necessary time for tho thorough investigation of every case whoro relief may be cal ed for. so that none but those really deserving may bo relieved from tho bounty of the county. Your committee have had numerous casos of imposi REPORTED DEFEAT OF THE REBEL FLOYD BY GEN. liOSEXCRANZ.

It is reported that the army under command Of Gen. Rosencianz in Western Virginia, routed Gen. Floyd's command yesterday, and that the latter had been driven to his earthworks. The battle was to have been renewed to day. We may therefore expect stirring news soon.

UNION KEliliYUOATS TUUCEASED BY GOVERNMENT. The Union Ferryboat "Wyandauk" was purchased by the TJ. S. Government yesterday, for use on the river Fotomac. As soon as the bargain was consummated, the ports were closed, and other necessary alterations made, and by evening all was ready for the voyage.

Eleven of the Ferrymen go with the WyandanU.aud if taken into the employ of the Government will remain. She is to be used for ferry purposes. The price paid was 20,000. This morning the Government coast pilot took charge, and steamed down the bay in compiDj with the Government steam iug "Charles Morgan." The boats Ellen'' and "Whitehall" were purchased by government some time since for 10,000 each. They are now in Atlantic Dock Basin, where they are being overhauled and fitted up as gun boats, for which, on account of their solid construction, they are peculiarly well adapted.

They will be completed with two weeks, by which time the armament and all necessary war materials will be on board. Messrs. Home Copeland are the Government agents. They have entered into contract to furnish the boats complete within a specific time. PRISONERS IN FORT LAFAYETTE.

Fcit Lafayette is gradually tilling up with guests the last one, Colonel James W. Wail of Burlington, New Jersey, who was admitted last night. He arrived in the Amboy steamboat about 6ix o'clock and being placed in a close carriage was driven down to the place where he is to remain for an indefinite period of time. Theexact nature of the charge against Mr. Wall is not made public.

He i3 quite a prominent man in New Jersey, and his arrest causes a good deal of ex. citement. We stated a day or two since that Mr, illis B. Schnable, an inmate of the Fort, on the charge of uttering treasonable sentimentB, had been offered his release on condition of taking the oath of allegiance. We understand that he expressed his readiness to take the oath on condition that the words "and obey all laws of the United States" be stricken out.

This did not suit, and the Secretary of War sent word back to detain Mr. and instructing the commandant not to give him a similar opportunity hereafter. NAVY YARD. The U. S.

gunboat E. B. Hale, (4) acting mas tcr in command, W. D. Gregory, hauled alongside the "Wharf at the Navy Yard yesterday, to take on board two eleven inch pivot guns, probably for the gunboat Housatonic, now in course of construction at the Charlestown Navy Yard.

The E. B. Hale will sail to day. She was put in com mission on the 4th instant, and would have sailed earlier, but the officers and crew being new hands were not up to the mark. WAR VESSELS.

The nronellor Andrews has iAU UJ the government for the smn of 25.0,1(1. tr ho nao as a war vessel on Albemarle Sound, where she will proceed as quickly as she receives some necessary preparation. Her former owners were Messrs. Van Stanvoord and Eedfield. The propeller Smith, of the Coxsackie line, has been pur chased for the same purpose.

MINORS IN THE ARMY, The applications for thR rlisnh from the army has become so frequent as to ere. ate serious annoyance to the military authorities. A general order will be issued at once to prevent any discharges upon such grounds in the future. men unaer me age 01 twenty one years will have to stay in the ranks hereafter. They cannot now be released by what is termed the "Baby act." THE RAILROAD DISASTER AT COCKETSVIIXE.

The bodies of those members of the Lincoln Cavalry who were killed bv railroad acnirlpnt. at Cockeysville, on Sunday last have mostly been brought to New York. Edwin L. Lyon cousin of the late Gen. Nathaniel Lyon, and William German were sent to Connecticut for interment.

The body of private McDonald will be sent to Newburgh, N. Y. It is still in Baltimore. 1'iivate Hopkins, it is reported, died of his injuries. He belongs to Naugatuck, Conn.

One or two others are supposed to be fatally injured. THE HEMPSTEAD CAMP OF INSTRUCTION. The Eighth Maine regiment arrived at Hunter's Point last evening and imediately proceeded by the Long Island railroad to the Camp of Instruction at Hempstead. The regiment is under command of Col. Strickland.

They brought 80 horses and 20 wagons, together with 60 horses and 25 wagens for other regiments coming from the State of Maine. The men are attired in grey uniforms and army regulation bats. THE STOVE PIPE BATTERY. The last capital ruse for drawing the enemy out mounting a large stove pipe by way of cannonand which was wrongfully attributed to a Western regiment, was, in fact, the cunning device of an officer of the New York 31st. In a letter dated froni Camp Browne, near Alexandria, Sept.

5th, to his relatives in Brooklyn, Lieut. Colonel W. H. Browne says "The enemy annoys us somewhat at the outposts, but he gets as good as he sends. You Lave, no doubt, read of my stove pipe gun that alarmed the rebels so much, the credit for which was given to the Michiganders.

I succeeded in my principal object which was to try the foes' artillery, it amount, weight, and range." TIIE MILITARY REVOLT AT WILLETT'S POINT. The unhappy difficulty and loss of life resulting from the attempt of Capt. Cresto and his command to leave the regiment with which he was connected at Willett'6 Point, continues to form the engrossing topic of conversation at Flushing and vicinity. Few facts come to light, however, tending to change the aspect of the case as first reported. Cresto and his command had been mustered into the the State 6ervice, but seems to have had no idea that this bound him to remain in Col.

Legendre's Regiment. His men appear to have been generally ignorant of the conspiracy to remove them permanently from the camp, but followed the Captain as they had been accustomed to do. Capt. Cresto, in order to effect his purpose without observation, was made officer of the guard by his own request, and then selected the picket mostly from hiB own company, taking a few others to avoid suspicion. One of the privates to whom the matter had been confided revealed the plot to the Colonel, who sent for Cresto with the intention of arresting him, hut the Captain refused to go to the Colonel's quarters, and thus avoided arrest.

Previously a guard had been placed on the road to intercept Cresto. Col. Legendre was on the road with two officers to meet the fugitive Captain, when he heard the discharge of a pistol, followed by the volley of musketry and the outcries of the wounded men. When he reached the spot, Capt. Cresto's men, excepting the dead and wounded, had left the ground.

Bra. Allyn and Bloodgood, of Flushing, were sent for, who arrived before 2 o'clock A. and proceeded immediately to care for the wounded. The investigation was continued yesterday before the Coroner's ary at FlushiDg. ur.

Aiiyn gave a detailed and particular account of the nature ol the wounds received by the men. Ferdinand Markoe was Instantly killed, having the top of his head shot off. Dominick Sassi had a bullet wound through and above his hip, the missile passing through his boweles; he wao also dead. John H. Thompson, Sergeant, received a wound through his thigh; bone not broken.

Louis llermani, shot in the back and three ribs broken. The ball could not be found, and his wound i6 mortal. He is an Italian, and was formerly a Catholic pr0Bt. Alexander Sicau received a bul i i shoulder blade, passing through to ball was extracted by Dr. Allyn.

LIST OF THE DEAD, For the following information we are indebted to Dr. Goodenough, of this city, who is now a prisoner in the hands of the rebels at Richmond.

The list of wounded prisoners which we are thus enabled to present is the only one that has been given to the public. It will be read with anxious eagerness by all who have relatives or friends in the hands of the enemy. The thoughtfulness of the writer is worthy of commendation; his letter will serve to relieve many a weary heart to day anxiously waiting for intelligence which is so slow in coming in these times. The date of the communication is August 25th. it will be remembered that the names of those in one hospital only are included Richmond, Aug.

25th, 1SC1. My Dear Father I enclose yon a list of the names of all the wounded of N. Y. Regiments who are here in the same buildings with myself. Those that aienot otherwise indicated are in afair way to recover, and in fact most of them have done so.

The names of the surgeons who lave remained to take charge of and attend the wounded, are Drs. Powell, Connolly and Wilson of the 2d N. Dr. McLitcbie of the 79th N. Dr.

Swalm and myself of the 14th N. Griswo), SSil N. Y. volunteers, McGregor, Connecticut regiment; Harris, Rhode Island; Gray, U. S.

and Le Boutiellier of Minnesota 1st, all of us under the direction of Doctor Higginbotham, of Richmond, surgeon of the post. It is impossible for me to get the names of those not wounded, or of the wounded in the other hospitals in this city. We have where I am aDd in the general hospital full as many, as far as I can learn. In regard to our treatment, it is veiy good, and I have no doubt but that it is as good as they perhaps treat their own. I cannot understand why they permitted some of those eurgeon6 who were made prisoners to return home on parole, and keep us here, but presume it mu5t be because our government have taken some Southern surgeons, and we are held as a soit of surely; what could have made cither side take us as piisoners of war, I cannot tell.

Such a thing was never before heard of, believe. The letter breaks off abruptly here the remaioder being probably withheld by the LIST OF WOUNDED PRISONERS IN HOSPITAL AT RICHMOND, OF NEW YORK REGIMENTS ONLY. "Wounds. Condition 1 Tbos. 79 1 F.1.

This will be one of the most perfect military organizations that ever left the State of New York, for there is to be attached to it several squadrons of cavalry and two batteries of Hying artillery, under command of Captains McMahon and Hogan.

The latter has been attached to several organizations, but as artillery was ignored before the battle of Hull Kun, he was compel led to abide his time. Now Capt, Hogan is in his element. He has a llrat rate battery and well manned, and the probability is that he will soon have an opportunity to prove himself upon the battle Held. THURSDAY EVENING, SEPT. 12.

The Wealth of the City. Individual energy and industry are daily and ovcrtako them. Notwithstanding the country hourly adding to the wealth of nations and preparing for the viscieitudes that may some day has been now nearly a year distracted and disturbed, notwithstanding the war has already cost us hundreds of millions of dollars individual exertion has in the same time made good it all. By the annual statement of the real and personal wealth of the citizens of Brooklyn, it will be seen that our people are in the aggregate just one million and a half dollars better off tbau iverc one year ago. In round numbers we rirj collectively worth one hundred and five million dulUre, and of this sum we have in hard cash, bank Etock, and personal property generally, abou; eleven million and a half dollars, and we have ninety three millions and a half, nearly, invested in real estate.

Taking the county towns aud our property real aDd personal is valued at over out luihdrcd and ilurii )nilliou of dollars leaving us after New York by long odds the wealthiest county the Slate. In lact the city of the Knickerbockers could now bny out a German principality and the vi'loee which in the time of the revolution was to New Tork what Stapleton, Staten Island, is to. day, is worth as much as the thirteen feeble colonies which, trebly armed in the cause of constitutional freedom, right and justice, won independence from Mr. John Bull, and gave him a sound drubbing besides. Brooklyn's wealth is trat a small part of the wealth of the nation and with the example of our forefathers before us "svirG will despair of preserving against whatever foes the inheritance they left us Of the Wards of the City, the Third is the wealthiest, owning over twelve million dollars, or about one ninth of the wealth of the whole City.

Most of the rich moneyed men are dom aciled in the Third they value their personal estate at four millions and a quarter possessing fully one third the personal property of the entire County. They are prospering, too, for they are worth over a quarter of a million more than they were a year ago. The Sixth Ward pays taxes on more real estate than any Ward in the City, hut siDgnlarly enough its residents have less personal property than those of the Second Ward. We notice, with some surprise considering the improvements that have been made on Carroll. Union, and other streets, that the property of the Sixth is valued at four hundred thousand dollars less than last year.

The big men on the Heights appear to suffer from the derangement of trade more than any other class of their fellow citizens, and for tha; reason there 16 a decrease of over two hundred and ten thousand dollars in the personal property of the First Ward. The Eleventh Ward seems to be goir ahead rapidly, and one third of the aggregate increase in the wealth of the city is credited to this Wrd. The Wards which seem to be going behind hand are the 1st, 5th, Oth. The 19th Ward is progressing rapidly, while the 15th Ward is worse off than last year. On the whole the figures we publish are gratifying.

Lnst year the increase was one million dollars more to he sure, bat in these times i( we bold our own there should be no complaint. The aggregate taxes of the county for the year will be about $2,000,000, and trie average rate of taxation we believe will vary betweee two dollars and two dollars and ten cents on each hundred dollars or taxable property. The Border States Wheeling into Line. The action of the Kentucky legislature yesterday 6hows that the machinations of her politicians have not been able to turn her people from their loyalty; the Confederate troops are ordered to leave the State forthwith. The secession sympathisers endeavored to have the resolution order icg the confederates to depart to include the national that was voted down by a vote or three to one.

Let Kentucky place herself among the loyal sisterhood, and rebellion will be many a day nearer its grave. North Carolina, too, shows every evidence of returning fealty, and cms of her late Congressmen offers to the government a brigade of loyal North Carolinians. If we can defeat Beauregard in Virginia we wiU cause such a reaction in all the Border States that the Union men there will put down the rebels themselves without any aid from us. A battle on the Potomac will decide the fate of the rebels. If they lose, rebellion is no more.

The loyal States are capable of putting forth greater efforts to augment the force at Washington and render its success certain, than they have. The very thought that rebellion challenges us to the cap ital of the nation, ought to nerve a million loyal hearts. An overwhelming defeat of the rebels now defiantly menacing Washington would not only ensure the success of the 'National cause, but it would convince the world that we will be successful. Wellington in calling his army from Brussels to the field where the fate of Europe was decided, told his men to come by battallions, to come by regiments, to come by companies, to come Eingle, the first to come is the bravest. Let it be thus with the volunteers.

We can crush re bellion by a concentrated, vigorous effort, such as twenty millions of people are capable of making. If we go into it half heartedly our preponderance in wealth and numbers is counterbalanced. A vigorous and successful effort against the army under Beauregard, and the rebellion that dazzled for an instant like a rocket comes down like a Etick. Political. The People's Convention at Syra.

cuse yesterday adopted a brief declarat' on in favor cf sustaining the government in its efforts to quell the rebellion, and nominated the following ticket for State officers Attorney General Daniel S. Dickinson, of Broome. Secretary of State Horatio Ballard, of Cortland. Comptroller Lucius Hobinson, of Chemung, Treasurer B. Lewis, of Kings.

Canal Commissioners F. A. Aberger, of Erie, long term: F. A.Tallmadge, of New York, short term. State Prison Inspector W.

Tappan, of Westchester. Slate Engineer W. 11. Taylor, of ineida. of the Court of Appeals w.

Wright, of Ulster. The Republican State Convention met at Syra cuse yesterday, and nominated the ticket for State officers, with the exception of their candidate for Canal Commissioner, Tallmade, of New York. The name of Benjamin F. Bruce was substituted for that of Mr. Tallmadge.

The ticket is a curious one, and shows how thoroughly party lines are broken up. Mr. Daniel S. WcVmson has all his life been considered hard the "Hard Shell" Democraey of New 1 ork. Few would believe a few months ago that any cont.npac, could placo Um at a ticket which Horace lircelcy and ti crnmentwithoutany ifi for Uie prtsen," swallowed up all minor issues.

The ticket made up about equally of Democrats and lle nub licans. Mr. Wm. Lewis, the candidate for State Treasurer, is a resident of ou city. lie has filled the office of Comptroller of the city, and is now one of the Water Commissioners.

In those offices he has given satisfaction to the citizens He is a man of decided ability, and we shauld have preferred to see him named for an office re qniiing more opportunity for exercising it Mr. LewiB's name will add strength to the ticket in this county, where he has many warm friends apart from politics.

A few days ago allusion was made to the case of a woman liviDg in Grand street, New Tork, who had been prevented from committing suicide by Captain Helme, of the 8th precinct police. She been defiauded of her property by a worthless hnsband, who then deserted her, leaving her without friends and sufferinf; from the fleets of pulmonary consumption.

Iler misfortunes prompted her to make away with herself, and she went methodically to work in order to carry cut her intentions, by purchasing a burial lot arid arranging with au undertaker for the funeral, when her conduct became known and her purpose was frustrated. From a de6ire to spare the woman's feeliugs, her name was withheld from print, but she has since become partially restored to physical, as well os mental health, and having seen tit to take criminal proceedings against a person natn td Thomas Stone, who, she alleged, stimulated her to attempt self destruction, in order that he might get possession of the remnant of her property, tbere is no longer occasion to keep the circumstances from the public. The case is fully told in the affidavit ot the cotnplai.iaut, sworn to he 'ore Justice Quaekeubusb, of which tlie following is a copy Cm and County or New RottK, rs. Kllen Gay, being duly sworn, says that at the City of Noiv York, on or about the 15th day of July, deponent was residing at the house of Mrs. Morrison, on the corner of Prince and Greene streets, in the said city that she was in very ill health and despondent, bv reason of the ill treatment and desertion of her husband, John S.
