Now is the exhibilion to be ween in 20l 8 fullness—complete in almost evervrespack. Ten days ago all was chaos 3 the estibitors were not punctual in sending in their exhibits ; it is surmized because of the existence of ceriain State fairs, and many vacancies were noticealie along the line of allotments.

This elevator is & nated ju the northicast corner of the main buil ing, snd, in niding in it. thoee who have mever gone down to the sea can experience in s0mo measure the vibrating motion which 12 ocean steamers compels the haughtiest to make obeis- ance to the King of the Seas. The elevator is worked by water-power. Forty thousand tickets of admission were sold THE VISITORS were princh excurtionists from along the line of te Chicago & Alron, Chicago, Burling- ton & Quiucy, Northwestern, and Rock Island Railreads, and echool chiliren. The wonder a0d admiration dopicted upon the countenances of the country folks found a parallel in the do- light =nd jovousuess shown by the children.

S+ Tao other day Mr. Cusillier-Fleury delivered & magnificent address cn tho oceasion of tho presentation of prizea awarded b the means who had devoted themselves to the relief of the poor. It is not the rich alone who should be generous, and M. Cuvillier has rendered an eloquent tributo to the devotedness and chanity of the poor, and to ‘the Immease good which results from their b2oevolence. On this conticent more than elsewhere our necossitous countrymen mnoed suc- cor. protection, and zdvice, and it is this which bas occasioned the formation of penevolent socicties.

It will be remembered that on the adjournment of court Friday evening the defense had exhansted tiio venire, and had ouly accepted of cleven jurers. Yesterday morning Col. Merrill, the Depuaty Sheriff, by order of the Court, had sum- moned eight talesmen from which to completo the jury. The defense excused three of these, and Mr. Birch excused one. This completed tho uduess of ojcued the case to the jury, and the examivation of witnesses bezan. The first witness was the victim of the men oo trial—Armstrong. Ho deseribed the manuer be had been taken in and aone for; bis evidence showed the game to be that which 1s kzowu to experts a8 ‘‘black and red,” not the game of three-card-monte; hia evidence furthermore showed Blumer to be the main acter in the swindle, aseisted, however, by Lece, and bis testimory eshibited a swing of facts rleating to the game which were evidently vew to some of the jury, and seemed to decply interest them, :he Court, and the crowd of spectators. Arm- strong is & Capadian from Manizobs, and during the crose-examination by 3Mr. Trude the facts were doveloped that he keeps a hotal in that city, with which there is a bar connected, and Thove garnered thoaghte and those affections fine, which shone 8o prominently through the that toa certain oxteot the game of cards is played in the rear room sdjoining the bar, in before Justico Thesdora Youngblunt, drunk and disorde: and James O'Brive, visordorly, T aristocrats, and we | ¥ mals. and, > the ev pairs of boots, tue property of Loowis & Sp of Lloominston, Lil., fell from a wagon on Caval strect, aud were at Guce aperopristed by Thomas | morning to answer to the chargo of roboc: + sel which he, when opportunity is afforded, takes a hand. The eutire day was cccupied in tho ex- amination of witnesses, and in listening to the arguments. At 5:30 o'eleck p.m. the jury re- ceived their instructions from Judge Rogers, and retired to make up their verdict. After being out four bours, they at 9:30 o'clock last night agreed upon their verdict, and filoa into court. Austin Doyle, Clerk of tho Court, polied the ~ jury, aud the Clerk then read the following as their verdict : ** We. tue jury, find Thomas lumer, alias Blennerhassets, guilty, and fix his term of pubishment at two vears in the Penitentiary ; and A. D. Lee, alias Beribner, not guilty.” Mr. Trude, the counsel for Blenuerbassetr, entered o motion tor » pew trial, which will bo heard near the close of the Present term. Blepneriashett reccived the verdict with evident composure, aud was remanded to jail. Scribuer, more fortunate than his companion, didu't delay Lis dopsrture a minute, but, seizing bis nat, bur- ried from the court-room. Every availublo spot fiicnds in the room was occupied by fii of the prisoncrs, who bhave eviuced a deep interest in their triol during it> progress from beginniug to end. ‘Lo jury, after receiving the thanks of tho Court, wore discharged. Had Bleuaerhessett, like Seribuer, bean the forzunate possessor of a wile, he in all probability would to-day be a frec man, 18 the jury when they first refired s:ood ten for conviciion and two £or acjuittal ; those two wers under the impression that Blennoerhassett was a married man, but on learniug the contrary they gave in, and were for_conviction. Iu tho cata of Seribner. on the first Lallot the jurr stood nins for acquittal and threo for convie- tion ; tie three wero ignorant of tho fact that Seribuer was & husband, and his wife was swaiting below tho decision of those twelve men who held che liberty of her husband in their hands. After learning this fact, those tbres jurymen decided with the other nine that Scribner was not guilty. This ouly reacued in both cases after mauvy Thus eaded the tra! of these confidenca 1 soon be fullowoed by the tial of others indicted for like offenses. The prosecu- 1m of theso men was coulucted solely by Mr. Direl, and the able mausuer in which hLe has linniled the case from the very begiuning to its close eutitles him to muca praise. .

From the Independent. The Brooklyn scandal is a powerfal mordani inflaence—to fix the complexion well or ill of pub- lic moral sentiment, Bzcause this is so, a3 well a8 because sacred behoofa of justice to individual mep and women ars involved, it i important that we judge righteous judgment. Much of what has been severely said concerning tho con- duct of the intermediary friend of the principals in this great moral and social reproach seams to me to bo both wholesome and just. But, on the other hand, not & little of the harsh animadver- eion of which Mr. Moulton has been made tbe objeet appears to me immoderata and inconsid- erate. This, of course, on the hypothesis that be Lins not been guilty of conscious snd intentional slander. If 3lr. Moulton haa willfully lied in what he has slicged against Mr. Beecher, then no depth of infamy short of the final ‘‘shame and everlasting contompt” is low enoagh to re- cewve nnd entertain him condignly. It will be noticed that I use the terms * conscious,” *in- tentional,” “wilifuliy.” Ihold it conceivable, of one party sad in the inferest of tus other. 1 know nothing whatever of the main g ticn at issue.

He should have refused tai a3 intermediary, except upon the bsm confession on the part of the gui the full extent of the guilt So he did, 88 he save. DBat when & shameful degree was confeased—or wud| derstood to be confessed—then, what wuj duty? Alas! who certainly knows? A yz man of 33, a * heathen,” was little likera giess right. Perhaps the only afe way nuith selfish way—to wash his hauds wholly ofsy relation whatever to the matter. 3r.

But this theory of explanatios I do not broach at present, 1f, in- deed, it bo worth _broaching at all. My imme- diate concern i8 with the proprieties of fiduciary friendship in & somewhat general sense, though not without » purpased application to the car- rent occasion. 1t has been swid by one whose intention assur- edly was to be no morethan judicialiy stern that on Mr. Moulton's own shoing of his conduet (I am oblized to quote in substance only and from memory) hia conduct was unrelievedly reprehon- gible. ‘That it was, indesd, reprehensible, under any hypothesis, I do not question. ‘That it was anreliovedly 8o, under the bypothesis that his statement teils the truth or evon that it means to tell the truth, may I think fairly be qnes- tioned.

Moulton errad grievously in tho conduct of his part is now 2A clear to everybody—bhimsel?, no donbt, inclnded—as it is to his bittereat censors. Dut just wherein lies the error of his course?

Moulton's statement charges bim. But supposing such to be tho caso, and supposing fartber that it could poauibly be wise and right to protect the victima by protecting tue perpetrator of the crimo, then Tdo not sse how r. Moulion's course sas poi, on his own showing, it least, a manly and hon- orable course. It fnvolved prevarication, out- right Iring, if you plesse: but that was logically contsined in the very conception of tho policy sdopted.
