IMPORTANT COMMERCIAL SUIT.

An interesting commercial suit was concluded
yesterday before Judge ]. f. Daily, OF the Court OF
Common Pleas The plaintiffs in the action are
George q. Magonin, Henry p. Kidder, Francis II.
Peabody and Oliver Peabody, and the defendants
James $. Sinclair and James l.. Marvin. 1t is Sc {
forth in the papers that Kidder, Peabody & Co.
discounted three bills of exchange for Sinclair &
Marvin, such bills being drawn on Messrs Arlington
& Nicholson, Of London, against three shipments
OF corn. An assignment OF the bills OF ladlng was
taken by Kidder, Peabody & Co., who RENTED the
same to their London agents, with an agree
ment signed by Sinclair & Marvin that

that the corn should be sold and the proceeds APP

A special feature OF interest In the suit was the
examination OF the eX-Secretary OF the Treasury,
Hugh McCulloch, formerly OF the firm OF Cooke,
McCuloch Co., but now McCuiloch Il Co.
Various prominent London and Liverpool mer-
chants also testified In his charge Judge Daily
tod the Jury that the main question for them to
determine was whether when Saunders & CO.,
as agents OF the plaintiffs, surrendered the bills
to Arlington IL Nicholson, they made complete
surrender OF the property, or whether they
surrendered them to Campbell as special
trustee TO sell the goods ana apply the property
to their benefit. The acceptors and drawers were
IN the former case responsible, and IN the latter
case Campbell became their trustee. and the de-
PENDANTS were not responsible but the TACT that
they took from Campbell guarantee did not
necessarily constitute him their trustee, because
they had right to take as many collateral secu-
rifles as they saw III. The case was given to the
jury late yesterday afternoon, and 1t is probable
they will send in this morning sealed verdict.

missioner Osborn to answer charge Of having
detained the character OF one Columbus Alexan-
der, OF Washington. The indictment found against
the accused In Washington was presen to the
Commissioner by Mr.. A. II. Purdy, United States
Assistant Attorney, and IL was claimed that, under
this Indictment the defendant should be forwarded
TO Washington for trial. Mr.. A. Oakley Hall, coun-
sci for the defendant objected to the Indictment
and claimed that In this proceeding 1T
was OF no avail, as 1t did not specify any
offence under the federal law The Commissioner
doubted whether he had power TO pass upon the
validity OF the Indictment. that being q matter
that ought TO be brought before the Court in
which the indictment was found, or to the atten-
tlon OF the Judge who might be called upon to
issue the warrant OF removal. He Suggested the
commlttal OF the accused, and also That counsel
should sue out q writ OF certiorari ana habeas
corpus before Judge Blatchiord for the purpose Of
testing the validity OF the proceedings. MIR. Hall
replied that he would take that course, and IL IL
understood the writ will be returnable before Judge
Blatcnlord on Wednesday.

A CONTRIBUTOR TO SCIENCE.
The Revclationists After q Dead Mans
PrOperty.

curious announcement is contained in the Lon
don Gazette OF the ed OF September. An Italian,
named Girolamo Ponti, recently oequeathed hls
property, amounting to sc, 500 Austrian ire to the
academies OF science OF London, Paris and Vienna.
His relatives. 1t is understood intend to dispute
the Will and, as 1t does not appear which English
society was meant by the testator, the Secretary
or State gives notice. In order that those societies
who wish to advance their claims may take what
steps they think proper. There Is no Academy OF
Science, so called, in London. Both the Royal
Society and the Royal Institution might claim the
legacy on equally good grounds. The testator
directs that the amount bequeathed to each
academy" is to be devoted to two annual COM
pettionsn on mechanics, agriculture, pnys sizes and
chemistry travels by sea and land and literature.
No scientific institution in England embraces this
entire programme, and 1t Is probable that two or
three OF them-say the Royal society, the Royal
Institution and the Geographical Society-wil
make joint claim to the legacy. The competition
in England and France Is limited to natives Of
those countries respectively, and in Austria Va
Austrian Germansn The testator seems to have
been especially solicitors to exclude the nom
German inhabitants OF the Austrian Empire from
the competition, for he repeats twice, and the
second time in emphatic terms, thai 1t Is to be
limited to Austrian Germans.

Only two cases were disposed OF in this Court
yesterday, but happily In both the accused put in
pleas OF guilty and thus saved the trouble and ex-
pense of trials.
The first case called was that OF Bernard Goetz,
indicted for arson In the first degree for setting
fire to his apartments In No. 253 stanton street,
the object sought to be gained being to obtain
$500, insurance upon his furniture obtained in the
Rutgers Fire Insurance Company. He was seen
coming out Of the place at two O'Clock in the
morning, and shortly after the fire was discov-
cred, when 1t was promptly extlnguished,
doing but little damage. Some snavings
and straw were. however, discovered,
saturated with Kerosene, showing the
fire to have been an incendiary one. On the case
being called MIR. Abe II. Hummell, the counsel OF
the accused, said he had induced the prisoner to

Seventeenth precinct, met two women named
Hattie Knight and Caroline Bremen In Fourth ave-
nue. with two pieces OF silk velvet In their posses
sion. Oficer Roughan questioned them as to
where they got the velvet and by what means It
had come in their possession. They told the officer
that they found 1t on an empCy box In Ninth
street. Hattie and Caroline were taken
to the station house where they gave their
address as No. 1913 East Twelfth street.
1t was subsequently discovered that the plato
glass window OF Kinzey's dry goods store Ninth
street and Broadway, had been smashed, anu
some $500 worth OF velvets and other goods had
been carried away. The velvet found on the wo-
men, Knight and Bremen. and which is valued at
$3.50, was identified by Mr.. Kinney as part OF the
property stolen from his store. Caroline bremer

THE FRENCH MARCH TO SEDAN.

Colonel stofYePs Defence Of Napoleon III.
Paris sept. 27) Correspondence OF Pail Mall Ca
zette.l
The pamphlet just published by Colonel Stofel
in his defence has created q painful impression
here, for the further revelations are not much to
the credit OF any one concerned. The Colonel tries
to relieve the late Emperor from all responsibility
in regard TO the march to Sedan, and to attribute
the determination to move forward instead OF
falling back on Paris to Marshal MacMa-
hon. Now, in the letter which Napoleon ILL.,
wrote to Field Marshal Burgoyne explaining that
march, his Majesty said !: had been rendered
necessary by political events. Was Marshal Mac
Mahon. left quite to himself as Colonel Stofe says
influenced like Bazaine by political motives, or did
the late Emperor sit down and calmly write q
falsehood damaging to his own characters 1t is
well known that the Emperor was afraid to fail
back on Paris, which, before Sedan, was IN state
OF semiinsurrection. MacMahon had no dynasty,
but only his country to save, and but for pressure
from the Minister oil War, would not nave at.
