Times Of the 23d VIC. find the following 49,
For a long time, Justice Sidney H Stuart, Of
the Second District Police Court, has been ac-
lively engaged in devising means to ferret out
and capture Robert Schuyler, late President Of
the New York and New Haven Railroad Com
pany. Warrants we're issued and placed in the
hands Of Sergeant Elder, who, with officer Gal
lagher, aided by criminal officers and authorl-
ties in almost every State in the Union, as well
as Canada, have secured the entire country IN
every direction, md resorted to every means and
expedient in their power to find ana arrest TN 1ne
accused, but up to this time have failed to dis
cover any thing indicating his whereabouts with
any degree of certainty; neither exertlons nor
means for his arrest have been spared, but as
yet with no success, The Directors were quite
certain that. Schuyler was unable to take a
voyage to England in consequence OF his lungs
being seriously affected.
Notwithstanding this, our reporter was in
formed last evening by reliable source, that
within six weeks q gentleman residing in this
city was in Southampton witnessing great
yacht race, and saw Robert Schuyler among the
spectators. 1t is now, bepond reasonable
doubt, that Schuyler crossed the ocean shortly
after his gigantic frauds were detected
We also learn, that since the fugitive was
known to have gone abroad, it has been ascer,
tanned that his (Schuyler's) confidential friend
"a lawyer also sailed from this port few days
ago for Bremen and Southampton. This fact
alone indicates that the intelligence of Schuy-
lers fight to the Old World is correct.
ACCIDENT. AT DAN RIcEs CIRCUS. The exhi-
bition of Dan Rice in this city was not fortu-
nate one--his canvas was Frustrated twice oy
| the gale, and once the performance was pre-
| vented altogether. Yesterday afternoon, just
| as the audience had begun to assemble, gust
| Of wind struck the canvas, breaking the centre
pole, and throwing the whole concern to the
ground. No one was injured but the damage
could not be repaired in time for an afternoon
| performance.
At the evening hour for opening, the canvas
was again in order, and an immense multitude
of people, men, women and children, hocked to
| the exhibition. The tent was filled to overflow
ing at an early hour, and hundreds went away
unable to gain admittance. The performance
went on as we'll as it could be conducted with
| such crowd, until near 10 o'clock, when vio-
| lent storm of wind and rain commenced. The
canvas was lifted up from the earth, and thrown
down upon the multitude. The widest excite
| ment followed Women and children shrieked
as if in the agony of despair, and three or four
thousand persons were struggling in total dark
ness, amidst heavy shower, to e1trlcate them
selves from the position in which they were
placed
/ The canvas was cut in hundreds of places.

is indeed miricle. A good many were slightly
injured but none seriously, SO far as we can
learn. Amidst so much confusion it was i'm.
