William Horace Lingard in Court-He Charges
His Dresser with Stealing His Wardrobe.
Yesterday morning William Horace Lingard,
alias "Jinks," appeared before Justice Shandey
at the jefferson Market Police Court, New York,
as complainant, charging that Henry Sinclair
his dresser, who sometimes appears in the role
of "Rhadamanthus" in the play of Pluto, had
been appropriating large number of his shirts
collars, handkerchiefs, neckties, seal-skin coat
valued at $275 in gold, aud worn by Lingard in
his character of the ''Swell Par Excelence;"
also purple velvet vest presented to him by
Jay Gould
Mr.. Lingard stated that about eight months
ago, while performing in Boston, he surmised
the prisoner was pilfering from him and dis
charged him, but upon his making an engage
ment with Prince Erie, at the Grand Opera
House, he again took him in his employ. On
Wednesday night, Sinclair failing to put in an
appearance, captain Jinks" was greatly disap-
pointed, and commenced examining his ward
robe, when the above articles were found to be
missing.
At the conclusion of the performances Detec-
tives McCafferty and Butcher, of the Sixteenth
precinct, proceeded TO the sample room of Sandy
Spencer, on Broadway, an uncle of the prisoner
and former partner of Lingard, where he found
the prisoner, who was arrayed in the vest, shirt
and collar of his employer. He admitted taking
the coat and gave up the pawn ticket for it,
stating he had pawned il in the Bowery, under
the name of johnson, for fifteen dollars. He
was taken to the station-house and in
carcerated for the balance of the night, and
yesterday morning arraigned before Justice
Shandley, where complaint was preferred
against him by Lingard, to which he was COM
mitted to answer In default of $1,000 bail. In
his informal examination he stated he was

Senate.

Senhtes
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Petitlons were pre-
septed by Mr.. Hamlin for an appropriation in
support of the destitute poor of Washington
By Mr.. Scott from the Lehigh and Schuylkil
region of Pennsylvania, setting forth that the
Special Commissioner of Revenue in his report
had incorrectly estimated the cost of the manu-
facture of pig iron.
By Mr.. Drake, in favor of.the abolition of the
franking privilege, who declared himself not
only in favor of the proposition, but wished to
incorporate with il another reform by discon-
timing the immense publications of public
documents, thereby essening the expenses of
the Government.
Mr.. Pratt, from the Judiciary Committee. re-
ported favorably the bill relative to the acknow-
ledgment of deeds in the District of Columbia
Mr.. Wiley introduced bill to abolish the
franking privilege, and to establish the letter
carrier system in cities of five thousand inha-
bitants. Referred to the Committee on Post
Offices and Post Roads.
Mr.. Scott offered resolution requesting the
Secretary of the Treasury to communicate to the
Senate the information or data upon which the
Special Commissioner of Revenue had based his
statements relating to the average cost of the
manufacture OF American pig iron in the valley
of the Cumberland and the anthracite regions OF
Pennsylvania.
The discussion was further continued by
Messrs Sherman, Cole and Cassiday and,
without action on the motion, the Virginia bill
wrs taken up, the question being on Mr.. Ed
munds' amendment offered yesteray, and Mr..

House.
Immediately after the reading of the journal,
the House resumed the consideration OF the Vir-
ginia bill.
Mr.. Fitch expressed his regret that Virginia
had not been admitted to political equality in
the Union at the same time with Georgia. He
believed that it would have been better for Vr-
ginia, better for the country, and better for the
Republican party. He was quite convinced
that no act could be done so hurtful to the Re-
publican party, so injurious to the best interests
of the whole country, and so especially damag-
ing to the speedy and honest reconstruction OF
the South, as to exact now from Virginia any
other or political conditions than those pre-
scribed by the act of April last

American Competition for Capital.
FRANKFORT Dec 2S.-The financial report of
Mr. Boutwell, has not made favorable impress
sion. The excellent state of the finances was
known beforehand; but the corroboraton of the
reports about q reduction of the interest in
duced many holders to sell. Money is now worth
Ave to six per cent. in this country for the very
best investments, and the time is, therefore, i'll
chosen to offer four and half per cent. interest
on foreign bonds. The high price of Eng
lish consos and French rentes has
nothing to do with the question, for our
Tor long years in the same hands, who keep
them; and, though everybody might admit, with
the Secretary for Finance, that the credit of the
United States is equal to that of the very best
States there is so large demand for capital for
railway purposes in Germany, Austria, and Rus
sia that the immense majority of American bond
holders will not accept for the present aa inte-
rest of four and half per cent, and that Mr..
Boutwell, ought to be satisfied that French and
English capitalists will step in for German
holders before he comes forward with his pro-
posal.
Besides European bonds there is such a com =.

American States and companies that people will

shvpvreck on the Goodwin Sands.

LoNpoN, Dec 24.--Everybody has heard Of
the treacherous Goodwin Sands and OF their
fatal character to unwary or ineXpert mariners.
An exciting shipwreck occurred there last
Thursday On the morning of that day, during
a strong northeasterly gale, vessel was seen TO
have struck the sands. The Ramsgate
steamer Aid and the lifeboat Bradford there
upon proceeded out to her through very
heavy cross sea. On arriving near the east
Goodwin buoy, about mile and half
from the wreck, which was found to be
on the Southeast Callper Sands, the llteboat was
slipped from the steamer, when sail was made
and she proceeded towards the vessel through
terrific sea. On arriving within fifty fathoms
the anchor was let go and she was yeered away
towards the vessels port quarter three or four
of the crew being seen on that part oil the YES
sell With their assistance hawser was got
into the lifeboat, and after very great
exertions on the part OF the lteboat men the
boat was hauled to within ten or twelve fathoms
of the wreck; but the mountainous sea and
strong eddying tide prevented them getting any
closer. The ship was fast breaking up, and
masts and spars falling; and the master then
made an attempt to reach the lifeboat by sliding
down the hawsers, but when half way between
the boat and his vessel very heavy sea swept
him away. Fortunately he fell within a few
yards of the boat, and succeeded in grasplng
life buoy that was thrown to him; There
being no time to spare, 1t the men
left on board the wreck were to be
saved, the lifeboat men were compelled to
leave him for a time and they then made some
desperate attempts 10 get nearer Juo VeSSel
Meanwhile one of her crew followed the mas
ter's example, and came down the hawser, but
he also was washed away, being, however,
got safely into the lifeboat. There now re-
NAMED only one man and boy on the wreck;
the former made rope fast round his body and
plunged into the water, but, Notwithstanding
every exertion made to save Lin, he unfortu-
nateiy sank and was drowned. The poor boy
was now the only one left, and his screams to
the lifeboat men to save him were heartrending
For half an hour the brave fellows made every
effort to do so. Then tremendous
sea struck the ship, nearly broke
her in two, and the lad was washed
overheard. The cable of the lifeboat was then
cut and she steered clear of the wreck, when
provdentially the boy noated near the boat, was
seized by the boathook. and hauled in. He was
then apparently dead, but after some time the
men succeeded in bringing him to. search was
then made for the master, and he was found
floating with the lifc-buoy amid the breakers,
and af er several attempts he also was saved,
although in very exhausted state. The lifeboat
then joined her consort the steamer and pro-
ceeded with the rescued men to Ramsgate
harbor where she arrived early in the afternoon.
