EVENING STAR. " LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Tae Casz or Hensert.—At ten o'clock to- day, the prisoner being brought in and his counsel being in attendance, Judge Crawferd read the following decision upon the applica- tion for the release of the prisoner upon a writ of babeascorpus. Mr. Du Bois, the minister from the Netherlands, did not appear. Inve Philemon T. Herbert on Habeas Corpus. The testimony adduced at the hearing on the writ of habeas corpus directing the mar- shal of the District of Columbia to bring the body of Philemon T. Herbert before me on Saturday last, has been the subject in connec- tion of the law arising thereon of as full con- sideration as the intervening time will allow. I was strongly impressed by the evidence as it was detailed, and the reflection of which I have sought aid, instead of damaging that impression has strengthened the conviction er- tertained when the evidence was closed. I abstain from giving the reasons for the con- vietion arrived Why, must be obvious. In any view which a jury cnn take of the evi- dence under proper instructions from the Court as to the law, it is quite clear to my mind that a conviction of murder should not take place. If the evidence had left room for debate whether the prisoner was guilty of murder or manslaughter, or was entitled to acquittal, al- though the ground for such debate might bave been slight, I should have remanded him to rison. In relation to thetwolast branches of enquiry just stated, viz: Whether a charge of man- slaughter can be maintained or the defendant should be discharged, there is contradictory testimony, and not only contradictory, but utterly irreconcilable; and it is not for the Court, but ajury, to say what of that testi mony they will credit, and to what the weight of evidence which may be adduced on a trial shall point When a matter of fact is in- volved, the Court should bail or remand ; to discharge, would be for the Court to try and decide the truth of the fact for which a person may be committed, instead of a jury. Peters- dorif’s Law of Bail, 522-3, &o. The order of the Court is, that the prisoner enter into a recognizance, with one or more good surety or sureties, in the sum of ten thousand dollars, conditioned for his appear- ance at the next term of the Criminal Court of the District of Columbia, to be holden on the third Monday of June next, to answer to the charge of manslaughter of Thomas Keat- ing, and not to depart from the jurisdiction of the Court without the leave thereof, and on his failure to do so, that he be remanded to the jail of Washington county, District of Co- lumbia. Joseph H. Berret and James Owner were received as bail, and the prisoner was sct at liberty. Sansata Scnoon CeLesration.—This morn- ing the Sabbath scbools attached to the Prc- testant churchesof this city assembled for their annual celebration, and was undoubtedly the largest gathering of little children ever wit- nessed in this District. It was found neces- sary to change the arrangements made at first, in order that all the schools might partake in the celebration. It was intended that two divisions should be made, one to proceed, #f- ter the assemblage inthe Smithsonian grounds, to the E Street Baptist church, the other tu the First Presbyterian church, on Four and-a- half street; but after both of those churches were crowded, it was found that several schools were outside The First Congregational church on Fifth street was then opened, and the re- maining schools conducted thither by the marshals. It was designed that the Rev. Drs. Murray of Georgetown, and Gurly should address the schools, but that arrangement was changed, end those reverend gentlemen addressed the division at the Presbyterian Church, and Rey. Mesers. Hodges and Griswold to that at the Baptist Charch; and the schouls at the Con- gregaticnal church were addressed by a gen- Ueman whose name we did not learn Esputa and Weber. with their splendid br: bands, helped to make up the procession, and ened 1 with appropriate musia, skilfully performed. An attempt was made to obtain the actual number of children in the proces- sion, but it was a failure, the crowd upon the sidewalk frequently confusing those engaged. The police officers, under the direetion of Jobn Davis, Esq , the Chief of Police, ren- dered good service by preventing the hacks, omuibuses, and borsesfrom breaking through the lines. Tne Hourcrme.—We are informed by Msj r Graham, of California, one of the witnesses examined for the defence on Friday evening last, in the case of P. T. Herbert, charged with killing Thomas Keating. that our report of @ portion of his testimony is inccrrect. Thus, we report him as having said that “He (Herbert) ig a quiet and peaceable man, ex- cept when a little aroused by pascion;” whereas he said [gr He is a quiet and peaceable man. When insulted, or his pas- sions aroused, he would defend himself like c men Maj. Grabam also informs us that Mr. Gar diner says that cur report of his testimony‘s incorrect, where we say that he said “Go away,adamned scoundrel, or he would kill him.” hereas, he said instead thereof— Ee Go away, a damned scoundrel, or get me some breakfast.”’ Note —The reporter very cheerfully gives these gentlemen the benefit of their state- ment, but after referring to his notes is in- clined to rely upon his version; however the public present at the time the testimony was given can decide. His purpose certainly was to give a scrupulously accurate report of the evidence Tue Sea or Ice; on, AMorugr’s Praren This great moral drama, so eminently suc- cessful in other cities, will be produced at the National Theatre to-morrow evening. We understand great preparations bave been made for ics production, and it may be expected to Surpass any scenic and dramatic production ever produced in this city. The cast is a fine one, embracing the names of the entire com- pany—Mr. Boniface as Carlos, the adventurer, as performed by him in Baltimore with great praise ; Mr. Jeffereon as Barabas, the faithtul sailor. Miss Mary Devlin will appear as Ov erita, the Indian girl. We doubt not, an overwhelming house will grect this new drama to-morrow evening: the theatre being closed bes for the purpose of rehearsing the Sea ce. Carziess Driving —Saturday afternoon, ol. H. Naylor was placed in considerable danger, while sitting in his buggy, by the careless driving of the coachman of a hotel. Col N was Just preparing to start from 0 *treet, near Sixth, where he had been attend- ing to business, when the coach was driven rapidly to his buggy, and the wheel of the coach, catehing th i i i Sorse was thrown, and but for the assistanee rendered by persons near by, Col. N. would — Lage bogs injured. The driver did not stop, but kept om, dragging the bi a sheet distanss with the a This habit of driving so rapidly and carelessly is indulged in by drivers, both public and private Pe- destriaus’ lives are endangered by it, and it is an offence against the laws of the Corporation Fisnixg —Yesterday, the river shore and the wharvee, were resorted to by numbers of men and boys who were anxious to spend the day in fishing for minnows. Rods and lines were in demand, and frequent inquiries were made for places “to get the best bait.” In the afterncon the amateurs returned to the ety, very few having as many fish as they could carry. * Taz Maxtinea Exponivu.—Maxwell & Bro. are again im receipt of new style Mantillas. they have (as stated in a former notice) theex- clusive agency for thiscity of an extensive New York importer and manufacturer of Man- tillss, avd have made arrangements that enable them to return all that are unsold and Teceive new supplies semi-monthly. Call la- dies, and see thelr new style opened to-day. Their advertisement is in another column. DistrRaaxces —Saturday night there was & great deal of disturbance ie various parts of the city. None of them were serious, all caused by intemperance, and settled by the officers avd auxiliary guard without much ality octety give their annual oration of the landing of Hers, at Rupy’s Motel, on Taes- To the Editor of the Unton : Sir: You will greatly oblige us by giving the following an insertion in your issue of this evening: In the local columns of the “‘Organ’’ is the following : ‘* Mr. Smith. was in favor of diseharging the defendant, and Mr. Birch for committingbim.”” This is entirely incorrect, and unauthorized. The report in the “Evening Star’”’ is substan- tially correct. ‘Organ’? will please correct. Yours, very respectfully, Danie. Suita, Jas. H. Binca. Wasuineton, May 10, 1856. The judgment reads thus: “After a careful examination of the evi- dence, we feel it to be duty we owe, alike to the defendant and the government, that the onds of justice may be fully met, to send the matter to the criminal court of this District. That tribunal we conceive to be the proper one to grant or refuse the application of the defendant for a discharge. As to the applica- tion for bail, we are divided in opinion, and we therefore commit the defendant to the custody of the marshal until he be discharged by due course of law.’’—Union of Saturday evening. Repstition or Canvsi’s May Festivar.— The announcement of the repetition of this delightful festival, on the 16th inst., will be rectived with tisfaction by those who were present at the one lately given by Mr. Carusi, and who propose to do thomselves the pleasure of a second attendance, ag well as by the many who were not able to attend the first to their ret, and who will avail them- selves now of the opportunity afforded. The May Queen is spoken of as a most lovely and interesting child, and her loyal little subjects as covery way worthy of their sovereign. Mr. Carusi manages these affairs perfectly, as our citizens well know. Fixe Groceries axp Ligvors —Messrs. Morgan & Brother, enterprising young citi- zens, have opened a very fine grocery store on Seventh street, between G and H, east side. Their stock is unsurpassed in the District Being young, industrious and economical, they can afford to sell for a very small ad- vance on first cost Those living in that vicinity cannot trade to more advantage than with them, we feel verysure. Their brandies are equal to any in Washington. CompLaints.—Two of every three poor fel- lows who arrive in this city from the fishing shores, after being paid and discharged, com- plain that their money and clothes have been stolen on the way. True, many of them drink hard, and probably lose their money when staggering about the streets; but it is equally true that they are followed by “ sbarks,’’ who are eager for prey of this description. None ean describe the villains who rob them, con- sequently it is useless to make arrests. A Dangerous Doc.—A day or two since, a dog kept by a colored man named Jos. Am- bush, on Fifteenth street, between L and M, attacked and dreadfully larcerated a colored lad, the son of Judson Digges, a few days since. The Police Board should keep a look out for this animal.
