REAL ESTATE MATTERS.

There were no auction sales Of real estate In this
city yesterday, but Mesgs. Cole Murphy, OF
BROOKLYN. disposed OF a light offering Of Brooklyn
improved property al their salesroom, OF which par
ticulars will be found below.
The week just closed has the most active thus
far this year IN thcres estate market and In conse
quence Of some large offerings OF city improved and
unimproved property the total OF the auction sales
presents very respectable appearance OF awaken
ing excitement Transactions In tho private market
have likewise been considerable. We have already
noticed the sale Of an entire block on Fourth avenue
and Forty-nfth street for 100000. This was pur-
chased by the New Haven Railroad Company. Sales
are also reported Of thirtyseven lots Eighth ave-
nue.. above IAoth street. for s7sooo and OF plot Of
100 lots for $4,000.
The prospect OF an early completion Of railroad
from Harlem to Portchester has caused a brisk
movement In real estate lying on the proposed route,
and land owners have experienced very rapid ap-
probation Of their property. Many largo tracts
have been disposed u Of high prices. Among others
The New York herald., 1869-01-24

The following caustc letter was yesterday for
warded by Justice Connolly to the Commissioners OF
Metropolitan Police. 1t was prompted by the fact
that while the law guarantees to prisoners the right
to be taken Immediately on arrest before justice
they are frequently detained in the Mulberry street
bastile for hours. and not unfrequentIy for days,
before being sent to court. The letter runs
GENTLEMEN--The recent ssordcrb OF your General
superintendent Tor the detention OF prisoners the
station houses for several hours after the opening OF
the polce courts is so iagrant q violation OF the
statute law fraught with injustice TO many OF the
persons arrested and is productive OF so much con-
fusion IN the business o. these courts that am
PEELED to protest against Its continued enforcement.
Our courts are opened at an early hour OF the
morning for the express purpose OF disposing OF
prisoners arrested during the preceding night and
no other business Is or can be properly conducted
until that is disposed OF. Therefore unless this
.order'' speedily meets the fate that has heretofore
befallen similar unhappy abortions from the same
prolific source 1T viii become advisable to open our
courts at len o'clock or at such other hour your
General superintendent may condescend to permit
his prisoners to be arraigned.
Ihe almost incessant pronunciation OF "order''
apparent object than the sI rratcaton p Of ofne
prurient personal vanity has amounted at
last to an insurerable obstruction OF the
course OF justice. The many formaties or 'red
tapeism" which must be punctiliously complied
with by the officers and the crcumlocutory observ-
ances with which the service OF criminal precepts is
now clogged and hindered by order'' upon orter y
are the manifest causes OF much OF the pfu palter
Ing In the line OF duty that has taken place or the
vigorous and decisive action that once characterized
the police force OF our city.
While such ignorance OF the law and OF the sim.
plest rudments OF police economy is displayed by
your chief officer 1t is not surprising that the character
OF the Metropolitan Police Department under his ad-
ministration has retrOgraded even rapidly than
the expenses OF Its maintenance have advanced. As
ia detective institution IL has become object OF
contempt to those whose lives are constant war
fare against society. Robbery and murder walk
boldly forth In the light OF day to deeds Of violence
and death, confident that, II not miracu0usy
taken In the very commission Of the act, their i'm
Ia rad
II remains for your honorable Board to determine
how long the efficiency OF the Police Department. the
authority OF the magistrates, the dignity or the
courts and the majesty or the law shall be subservi-
ent to the arrogant usurpaton Of illegal powers by
your General Superintendent. Most respectfully
yours, MICHAEL CONNOLLY,
Police Justice.
