THE ABUSES ESTABLISHED, The charges made by THE TRIBUNE touching the grave abuses now fully exhibited have not been di rected at the Judges who are innocent of them, but only at those who, by undue favoritism, are the authors of the causes of complaint, and who persist in such wrong doing. Not the system, but the abuses of the system, have been attacked. The sentiment of the New-York bar, 08 far as we have been able to elicit it, declares these abuses to be substantially as follows: 1 Compsoty relerences Wherein Mo 000 ron $ied 100M tt pis 10 Be Overruhug the pie wishes of the parties by refusing to refer causes CY of their selection whea the persons selected are unob tionable. Joy “Referring causes to persons who are objectionable to the litigants or their counsel. Constantly referring causes in defiance of the wish (ex ressed or otherwise) of the parties, to re'atives or friends, thus prostiting the powers of the Uourt to the use and aggrandisement of particular indi vi i va causes which onght to be tried by jury for the purposes meptio 6. Allowing exorbitant and illegal foes regardless of the demands of Justice and the rights of the parties. And, 7. In all these respects so conducting themselves that in elovely gone tested causes unipfiuential lawyers are forced to employ a “Grats” a8 counsel in their cases to save their client's interest; and ,ermittiog the opiuton to prevail, with their knowledge, among the profession and the public, that such means are necessary and effectual for the parpose—and that without attempt at rebuke—to the shame, scandal and disgrace of the Court. In justice to some other judges, whose names have not been mentioned inthe articles on the Judicial abuscs, and who are doubtless surprised at their exemption from general charges of which they know themselves to be guilty, it is, perhaps, necessary to 8ay that THE TRIBUNE 18 oy ot done with the subject. The sorsepsion of the Bench {as worked corruption of the Bar an of politic, But for Barnard and Cardozo of the Supreme Court, Tweed could never bave made himself absolute. This corruption has extended not only throughout the Supreme but other Courts, and has been displayed not only in the Referee system, but in the matter of Reoeiverships. Receivers have been a8 infamous as the Referees, and to their transactions THE TRIBUNE will next devote itself. One Judge of the Superior Cours sapesially, has won undying infamy by his appointment of favorites as Receivers, an sundry facts iu relation to his practices, as showing the great corruption of the Reoeivership ays, are in prep aration for early publication. THE BAR ASSOCIATION TAKING STEPS FOR LEGAL REFORM. It was expected that at the meeting of the Bar Association, on Tuesday night, reports of the J udi clary Committee on the subject of the impeachment of certain Judges, and of the Committee on Extortions of certain officials would be presented. They were, how ever, deferred till the next meoting. It is said that the Judiciary Committee has already collected many facts showing the corruption and malfeasance of some of the Judges, and is diligently employed in the acounmulation of further proofs. Tt is understood that the report of the Committee on Extortions, after giving a schedule of the fo@s of various officials as allowed by ,law, shows the amounts fenorally demanded and obtained by them. Partionlar attention is paid to the extortions of the Sheriffs office. It is shown, for instance, that the Sherif] is bound to allow, without charge, to every perso arrested a reasonable opportunity to procure ball, af any hour of the day or night, before being committed pr son and that, in violation of the law, a fee Frnglut rom $10 upward, is almost invariably exacted before this privilege is accorded: and that amy person whe refuses to accede to this illegal demand, is Semnariiy imprisoned. Again, when the prisoner has obtained h sureties, n fee of $10 and upward is also illegally de manded for drawing and nckpowledging the bail pond which the Sheriff requires to be done in his office although under the law it may be drawn by the prisoner or his counsel. The statutory fee on the execution of the bond is 374 cents. This practice is sald to have beer originated by Sueriff O'Brien, but it has been muob ou larged uuder Sheriff Brennan's adininistration. THE PUBLIC HEALTH. Pw TREATMENT O' CONTAGIOUS DISEASLI—IN(REASE OF SMALL-POX. The Board of Health received, yesterday, a letter frown Messrs. Grinpell, Minturn Co., announcing that they had written to thelr London agent to cause all rags consigned to them tobe fumigated before being shipped to this port, and asking whether if, after this precaution had been taken and a clean bill of health ob tained from the American Consul at the port from which tha vessel sailed, the rags would be allowed to be landed on their arrival here. An afiirmative reply was returned.

The Brooklyn Board of Health met at noon yesterday for the purpose of devising means (o prevent the spread of small-pox. Health Officer Cochrane said that be had been compelled to cut down the force which te Lad employed in vacuinating, and that small-pox had inoreased alarmingly since. He auld that it was for the Board to eay whether or not the force of vaceinators should be increased for the purposs of preventing the olsy from being overrun with smull-pox. He stated that smull-pox prevailed all over the city, not a ward being free from it. He believed that if the Water Board would ald bim In keeping the streets olean, vaccination would prevent the spread of the disease. If the aothorities would give him a larger foree than he now had, he proposed to fol- low the ambulauce, and vaccinate the occupants of every infected house.

Opporite this cage is another box slignuy deeper, which opena also at breast hight, but without a grating, on the intervening passage where the warder 18 stationed. They are all four in this box when we are in good humor we call it our Guignal (Punch sand Judy), because the personages are there as closely packed as on the scene where Punch’s front drama is Rex formed. Only here the drama is of another kind.

Tickets hich oould not be easily forged were printed ang Qetrl ed among nearly 3,000 friends, inviting them jo3 preliminary meeting to be held iy the hall at 8) Oelog Considerably betore that hour the holders of these tickets were admitted, and nearly filled the hall. They voted Mr, J. Haslam into the ofialr, and ho said the object of so assembling was to take measures for preserving order, since disturbances were likely to be ptismpled in consequence of the influnmatory bills which had been Issued by the other aide. On the motion of Mr. Windor, it was then formally nrecd that those preavis should remain quiet, and do air best to maintain good order at the subsequent pub lic meeting. By this time much noise waa being made by a large crowd which hed menntime assembled out side, A large foree of the rougher ones, finding them selves unable to get nto the hall, struggled hard to force the doors open, and threw a few stones through the windows. It was intimated from the platform that, as crowds in the streets scomed impatient to enter, the beat course wight be to open the doors at once, althongh it was not yet 74 o’slock, the hour at which they were advertised to be opened to the Jabie. Incensed Hv the hostile demonstrations of the on iders, the bulk of the meeting stoutly objected to the opening of the doors, and so the proceedings were at once com menced, instead of waiting till 8 o'clock, which was tho previously blinded tine, Getting to know that hoy were not likely to be altogether excluded, the mob ou side became still more violent, They continued without intermission to throw dangerous missiles of all kinds trough the windows frouting the street, (until all he glass in them was smashed. Not only Inrge stones, but even bricks and pleoes of iron were thrown Into the hall, and natu ally created much alarm among the audience. Although we have not heard of any one being seriously injured, many were hurt through being struck by projectiles. While the stones, &e., were being thrown in, those pros ent sheltered themsplves im the spaces between the windows, or in other places where they could be most se ~oura from bruises; but notwithstandlog these precau tions many persons suffered hard knocks on the head, and one or two sustained wounds which bled freely. That more serious injuries were not inflicted is very sur prising, since a specimen of the misallos handed up to the platform was a piece of solid iron nearly a toot aud a half long and fully an inch broad. In consequence of these proceedings, Sir Charles Dilke greatly curtailed his intended lecture. Ie poke; in deed, only about a fiastes of an hour, remark ng that while personally w og 13 g0 on until he was hit, he thonght it would be unfair to ask those Fis to ex Jove themselves longer than necessary to danger. While 16 was speaking, Mr. Beech, Chief Constable of Bolton, came upon the platforin, and consulted with the leoturer wud Committee, Thereafter the Chairman (Mr. J. Mel fon sald the Mayor and magistrates, who wore nsseim bled in the Town Hall, had sent word that the Police would interfere so far 43 possible to prevent dam age, if tree access to and egress from the hall were al lowed. His (the Chairman's) reply to this was that a8 soon as the Police apparel the doors should be thrown open. After the uproar whieh followsd this intimation, Sir C. Dilke said he thought it would be well if the meot ing, instead of ytelding to the violenoa of Tory roughs, were to vindicate the fresdom of discussion by simply now passing the coptomplated potition to Parliament for improvement in regard to voting Tegiatratipn, popular representation, and redistribution of seats. Arcordingly, apetition to thut effort wus adopted on the motion of Mr. Bramwell. At this time, about 71 o'clock, the doors, the panels of whish bad previously been broken in, were forced open, and then enaned a most disgrmentu) s00Ne, A gang of rough fellows rushed in, flourishing bludgeons, with which they belabored sil around shéem foost vigor onsly.

The ruffians with the bludgeons, which consisted of stout ash sticks, seorned quite regardless whom they felled with their Bi dorvis weapons, Among tho sufferers were some old men and children, and two or throe were struck to the ground. It ia but right to say that While this violenoe was due to the fellows who forced themselves into the oeting, sticks of a very formidable kind had previously en furnished from an anteroomn to parties of detormined-loooking fel lows, who were set tw guard from within the entrances to the hall. While the worst of the disturb ance was going on inside not u policeman was to be seen at hand, and although a number of constables were afterward found to be standing outsides, thers seems too much reason for jaying that the polleo arrangeinents were Bléanotiier defective. A rutile attempt was made after the fight to hold another glesyng, but the crowd, in the course of about an hour wero induced to disperse, and the public peace so far us wo havo hoard was not afterward disturbed to any serious cxteul RUSSIAN CONQUESTS IN ASIA APPREHENDED WAR WJTIL JAPAN. 8t, Petersburg (Now. 3) Correspondence of 2c london 0%.
