The final scene in the trial of Palmer. the cr is thus described in the report of the aily News: — jury a to oath) their verdict, at eighteen minutes past 3, the judges also re- tired; and the prisoner, who wore upon his features an expression of mute despair, was a according to such cases, taken down be- ow. The crowds in the court broke up into noisy conversational groups, as the nature of the — verdict, and as the news that the jury were deliberating traveled fast and far, caus- ing immense excitement outside the court, where an immense mass of people speedily ac- sembled. During the absence of the jury, there was one little incident full of significant import, which awakened marked attention, vis: the entrance into court of the Rey. Mr. Davis, chaplain of Newgate, who took hie seat upon the bench near the seats of the judges, in full eanonicals, ready to pronounce the final “ Amen,’’ when sentence of death should be pronounced, if the jury convicted the prisoner The jury re-entered the court at twenty-five minutes past three, having been absent one hour and seventeen minutes. Upon the appearance of the jury every whis- al ceased, and men seemed scarcely to reathe in the solemnity of the moment The judges then resumed their seats, and the prisoner was replaced at the bar, looking calm and quiet. The prisoner betrayed very little emotion during the interval that elapsed while the names of the jurors were being called over. Mr. Streight, the deputy clerk of Arraigns, then inquired of them whether they fad agreed upon their verdict? The Foreman—We have Mr. Streight—D» you find the prisoner guilty or not guilty of the felony and murder where- of he stands accused ? The Foreman—We say that he is ewilty. Mr. foe os then addressed the prisoner, and said: Prisoner at the bar, you stand con- vieted — crime of Wilful murder you, or know you, anything to urge why sen- tence of death fesidiryeeny be pa: i you, according to law. The prisoner made no reply, but his faco reddened, and there was evidently a slight convulsive twitching about his mouth. Mr. Parker, the principal usher, then made the usual proclamation for silence The three judges then put on their black black caps, and The Lord Chief Justice proceeded to pass sentence upon the prisoner in the following terms: William Palmer, after a long and im- partial trial, you have been convicted by a Jury of your country of the crime of wilful mur- der. In that verdict my two learned brothers (Mr. Baron Alderson and Mr. Justice Cross- well (who have so anxiously attended to every circumstance that has beenadducedin evidence and myself entirely concar, and consider the conviction altogether satisfactory. Yourease is attended with such circumstances of aggra- vation that I do not dare to touch upon them. Whether the present is the first and only of- fence that you have committed, is known on! to God and to your own conscience It is seldom that such a familiarity with themeans of death has appeared to have been acquired without a long experience; bat for the of- fence of which you have been found guilty, yourlife is forfeited. You must prepare to die, and I trust that, as you can expeet no mercy in this world, you will, by repenting of your crimes, seek to obtain pardon from Al- mighty God. The act of Parliament under which you have been tried, and under which you have been brought to the bar of this court, at your own request, gives power to the ceurt to direct that the sentence shall be executed either within the district of the central criminal court orin the county where the offence is committed ; and in your case it is our opinion that, for the sake of example, the sentence shall be carried into effect in the county of Stafford. I hope that your terrible example will have the effect of deterring others from the commission of such atrocious crimes, and that it will be seen that, whatever art or cun- ning may be exercised to accomplish such a crime, with whatever caution, detection is al- most sure to follow; and however destructive poisons may be in theireffects, yet Providence, caring for the safety of human life, has given its creatures the means of detecting and pun- ishing the perpetrators of such offences as these. Again I entreat you prepare for the awful change that awaits you. I will not seek to harrow up your feelings by dwelling upon the circumstances of this most foul and horrible murder, but will at once proceed to pass upon you the sentence of the law, which is, that you be taken from the bar at which you now stand, back to the jail of Newgate, from whence you came, and that you be afterwards removed to the county jail of Stafford, that being the county in which your offence was committed, and that you be taken thence to a, pues of execution, and hanged by the neck until you be dead, and that your body be afterwards buried within the precincts of the — where you were last confined, and may e Almighty God bave mercy on your soul ” Have The chaplain said ‘‘amen,’’ and the res- ponse, in a low tone, but audibly, was repeat- ed all over the court. The prisoner did not seem at all affected while the awful sentence was being pro- nounced ; but, on the contrary, there was @ sort of sneering expression on bis countenance. The moment the Chief Justice had concluded, the prisoner turned round and walked hastily away from the dock, and descended the stair- case leading to the prison. The Lord Chief Justice then addressed the jury, and said he had to tender them his most warm thanks fo the mannerin which they had performed the arduous duty that had been cast upon them. They were most of them, no doubt, engaged in businesr, and the long detention they had undergone must have caused them very considerable inconvenience, if not loss. He could only hope that they would be rewarded by the approbation of their own consciences, end the approval of their country. Waar ts 4 Tourner?—In the recent trial of the German Turners for riot, in Cincinnati some discussion arose as to the character of the German Turners’ Society, when Judge Stalle, one of the counsel, said : “The name means gymnast. It was estab- lighed in Germany in connection with the Universities, to promote and develope the pbysical man, and also for the improvement of tbe mind. In Cincinnati it was a social organi- zation, which assembled together for gymnas- tie exercises, and for the study of the sciences. The Tarners of that city had a library of seven thousand volumes, comprising many scientific and valuable works. Lectures were delivered to them both by the German and American born citizens. The Society was also a charit- able and benevolent one, the sick members being cared for and the families of the de- ceased members allowed an amount per week . Their meetings were not secret and members were at all times willing to listen to the sug- gestion or opinions of those not belonging to them. Persons of all religious beliefs are ad- mitted as members,”’ A Rartroap Founpiing.—The George Law brought home on Friday, from Aspinwall, a very extraordinary passenger, about fifteen months old—found amid the wreck and ruins created by the late railroad calamity there Father and mother, and relatives,.were all killed, and no one knows the little foundling’s name, or nation, which, however, is Pe a pee tobe French. The innocent was ed up unhurt amid the slain and maimed, in uncon- scious ignorance of the awful disaster. Col. Totten sent it to New York, in care of the stewardess of the George Law.
