The SOUND STEAMERS 1t is said that the city
government really intend 10 compel the Norwich'
New Haven, and Stonngton steamers 10 start from
the foot of Pike street instead OF from No North
River. We can hardly believe, however, that such
a change will be forced upon us
In concluding 10 make these steamers stop one
mile from the business part Of the city, did the Com
mon Council taken into consideration the great IN
convenience to which the merchants, the travelling
public and the press would be be subjected We
think not, from the fact that the change is to be
made. No depot equal to the present one, for the
facilities affords TO the public, can be found in the
city, and the idea of forcing new arrangement
with so many disadvantages upon the public is too
much, and we therefore trust that some steps will
be Immediately taken to prevent it from going into
operation.
Weknow of no change that would be so unpopu.
lar as thls-hrstly, with the merchants, because of
the increased trouble time, and expense in sending
their goods to Pike street secondly, with passen-
gers from and for the north and SOUTH because OF the
delay In getting TO the new depot, and consequent
great loss of time frequently of more than day, by
reaching the pier after the steamer had left for Bos
ton and rice uvsa; and thirdly, with the press, be-
cause ofthe great inconvenience and loss of time it
would experience in receiving and despatchng news
to and from the east and Europe. And to offset
these the change does not offer single solitary adj
vantage
We therefore look upon the new arrangement as
monstrous one, and we hope that some move will
be made in the Common Council to abolish it alto
gether.

City IntelllRenae.

PETER EsoUIRoL NEARLY KlLLED.-On Saturday
evening about the hour of seven o'clock, as Peter
Esqulrol, Assistant Alderman of the Thirteenth
Ward, and the recently appointed Tobacco Inspec-
tor OF this city, was proceeding up Christie street
near Walker, on his way to his residence IN Suffolk
street, he was trpped up by one of gang of several
ruffians who were standing upon the corner and in
attempting to rise was knocked down and then beat
and kicked alternately by the brutes until left nearly
insensbe. On reaching his dwelling his face was
so mutlated that his family did not recognize him,
and his Injuries were so severe that he could give
no account OF the transaction furthan than that he
was Knocked down and beat by several men, with
out any cause given or offence offered his part.
Mr.. Esqulro is one Of the most mild, amiabe and
peaceabe citizens of our city, and the very last per-
son whom we should suppose gang OF rufians
would have found cause to assault
Here Is another unanswerable argument in favor
OF the plan OF police recommended by Barnabas
Osborn, Esq, Clerk OF Police, plan that ensures
day as well night patrol. This assault, like the
murder OF Corlis, it will be seen, was committed
at an hour before the watchmen of the city take
their posts, and in the dusk of the evening when it is
almost impossible to distinguish person from
another The watch are not compelled TO take
their stations at this season of the year. until 8
O'Clock, and as the sets at half past SIX and is
dark about seven, thieves burglars, highway rob-
bers. and murderers have t,sH hour in which they
can commit their depredations with scarcely
chance of being arrested. So in the morning, the
watch leave their posts before ii is fairly daylight,
and then these villains have the same chance for
upwards of an hour to riot in their destruction
How long will these things be2 When shall we
have change! Where is the Alderman OF Assist.
ant who has the Imoral and political courage this
very evening in the Common Council to move for a
change in the ordinance regulating the city watch
so as to compel them to take their posts at Dusk IN
order to prevent our citizens from being shot down
In our public thoroughfares, or beat to death by
gangs ofrufans in the secluded streets of our
city, without any chance of their being brought to
justice If we cannot have day police, give liz
this much at least, or every will be compelled
te arm himself to protect his life from such daily
eutrages

Trial OF Singleton Mercer.

We have received further intelligence on this ex-
traordnary case. The principal evidence closed on
Saturday, and 20 day will commence the arguments
of counsel on both sides, The Judges charge TO
the jury will not probably be given till Wednesday
morning, and the verdict of the jury cannot be
known here before Thursday morning, at the ear
lest Our special express will bring the first nfor-
nation of the result to this city
The developments made ia this trial have been
most extraordinary. We have never read, even in
fiction, of such another case of the vainous seduc-
ton of innocent girl, that OF poor Sarah Mer-
Ger by the fend IN human shape-that execrable
Heberton. Her character for purity. virtue, and al
most infantile innocence before that vile wretch
followed her in the streets, has been established be.
yond any doubt. The story of her wrongs as now
told to the jury, is even far more atroclous than we
ever suspected it would be.
The verdict of the jury will be looked for with
extraordinary interest AS soon as it shall be re-
celved at this office, it will be announced on our
Bulletin.
The interest now felt in the CASE is most intense
throughout this city, and all the neghboring towns.
Inc agents, carriers, and readers of the HERALD,
nave increased their sales many thOusa nd copies
each day. There is nothing in the whole range of
the fictitious literature of the age that reaches half
the pathos, the interest," the heart-rending intensity
of this unparalleled trial. Not even novel of

nocent sster-the fallen fair one the frensied bro
ther-the broken-hearied mother-the agonized

fering, produced by that atrocious seducer, Ectr-
