BROOKLYN ITEMS.

oBrTUARr.-on Saturday morning the Rev. John
Nitchie Lewis died suddenly at his residence in
Brooklyn at the age of SO years. He was the eldest
son of the late Zachariah Lewis, editor of The Com
mereial Adrertiser. During the Summer he supplied
the pulpit of the Brick Church, and was to have
preached last Sunday afternoon in that Church. He
was engaged in writing his sermon until about .
O'Clock on Saturday morning, when he retired. Soon
after o'clock he was awakened by a severe pain in
the chest, when he called his daughters, Mrs. Lewis
being absent on q visit to her son in Elizabeth.
Remedial measures were resorted to, and he seemed
TO be partially relieved. He requested his daughter,
to retire again. They judged best, however to re-
main with their father and soon after another attack
came on, and at 81 o'clock he died. Mr. Lewis was
much esteemed, both in public and privstelife.

HOMICIDE IN THE FOURTEENTH WARD.-On
Sunday night last an alteration occurred in house
in North Eighth street, +. d.. between Patrick
Sweeney and man named McDonough. The per.
soDs resided in the same house. and it appears that
Sweeney was authorized by the owner to act as agent
in the collection of the rent. He had demanded a
months rent of McDonough several times, and on
Sunday became very abusive threatening, unless il
was paid, to turn him out of doors. McDonough
deied him, and the parties came TO blows, when
sweeney, who is young and powerful man, hit
MeDonough q violent blow in the abdomen, which
rendered him insensible, and from the effects Of
which he died last night. Sweeney was arrested and
locked up in the Fifth Precinct Station-House for
examination.

TUESDAY EVENING, July Is, 1861.
A few days since the LINCOLN Government nego-
tiated loan in New York amounting to about
s5,OOO,OOO, for SIXTY days, and there wls a
good deal of glOri4catOn over this proof of the
financial strength" of the Government We learn
from the New York Nsts that the Banks taking
this loan are burdeued with specie for which there
is no demand. The best private rates are p cent
for money, and Government two year p cent pa
per is at discount In this emergency the Banks
consented to loan the GOvernmeut their gold ct a
cent Z annum for 60 days. The whole faith Of the
LINCOLN Government is pledged to return the gOld
that the Banks cannot otherwise use in sixty days
and the Banks will not trust it longer at any rate
This loan is highly advantageous for the lesdinl
Banks that mOnopOlized the transaction. The gold
was turned over to the Federal Treasury, and it /
hoped now it will be able to pay some of its ar
rears. But how is the Government TO pay at tha
end of sixty days? In the same manner, the over
due Treasury notes are held by the Banks. Thej
are demand loans against the Government at Z
cent, when individuals get money on demand at
r cent.
