He that had Lee really te. lieved the charge he made against Hume Ms course would have been very diferent; that he would never have exchanged card¢-at the Presideat’s House with s person he believed tobe jet; that had he bel:eved the charge his cotirse the next morning would bave been the reverse of what it was; that, instead of arming himself to meet Hum would have had arrested asa pickpocket ; and that he persisted in the charge, Knowing that he was misteken, because his malice would not allow him to do Hume . He did not retreat from the blows of Hume: but the few paces of foor he went over was ts sive him an opportunity to get out a deadly Weapon attack. to make a sete Mr. he, at balf-past twelve o'clock. Mr. Ch on the part of defence, next ad- dr: seed the jury, commenting, in his opening, with severity upon what he termed the relen:- less and vindictive manner in which the prose- caution had been conducted Taking up the instructions grenfed by the Court, he contend- et that the Government’s counsel had dis. colored the facts in a manner calculated to induce the jury ts decide in « manner different from ~ Bas the court hed inatracted them the jaw would justify them in duing Mr. Chilton concluded hia elaborate ud dress, going over the whole greuod of the law and the evidence, at #feen minutes past two, y- Ba. Mr. Davidz followed for defences, animad- verting alee with considerable severit uponthe course pursued by the prosecution, pi bo. lying with no little ability to the points made y the District Attorney. He contended that Lee had no Feagon to expecta visit from Hume the next morning he (Lae) being the injured par- ty. after having Leen slapped two or three tmed in the face at the levee by Huwe in the presence of the Indies he had taken there; that in regard to the point made, that “ Lee would not have exchanged cards with H. had he reaily belioved him iv be s pick et,”’ that Lee did not make the propurition to exchange csrda, but did so at the ggesiion ef Major Lally ; and if the excha ge of cards really meant enything, Lee had a right to ex- Visit from some friend of Hume's, and trom himeelf in person; that Lee doubt- less viewed the card given asa mere trick, and that Hume was not the paren he Tepre- sented himself to be. The gist of the matter he contended was this: thet if the prisoner believed be was in bodily @ pger he was justi ied, while that danger was impending over bim, toteke means to repel the threatened attack. He drew s picture of the diferent appearance presented by liume and Lee per- -onally, the one a perfect man, some six feet twoinches in height, and developed propor- tiouably, and the other kly man, fiz y- Give years of age, ani argued that , Peeing a stick of that size in the hands of an infur! giant like Hume, bad reason to believe himself in denger. Mr. Davidge concluded at 3: p m, and at 52 Mr Bradley commenced the closing argu- weut for Government, aod iu the oucset ex- pressed bis surprise at the remarks indulged to by the other side in reiativa w the course ef the District Attorney Mr. Key here rose and said that if the other side were dicsatisfied with his course. they mart remain eo. Was it to be expected thats public secutor should addrees a jury in mlik-and-water style when a grand jury had brought in a charge of murder? The counsel tor detence here disclaimed any purpose of attribating to the District Attorney aps intentional departure from the proper limite of jadicial icquiry Mr. Key remarked, ato core, on resumio his seat, that if they did not like bis specs he would try and make a’ better ope next time! - [Laughter.! Mr. bradley proceeded to grow the evi- dence rather ser = take it in I, and argued that efence bad passed the juestion whether Lee could nave eszaped with ar that he did not try to diaabuss himself et bis error; that in regard to the age and feebleness of Lee, be was but one year older than himself, (Bradiey,) and he by no means cvnsidered bimself sn old man, and that a maa who could cock the pistol produced in eourt with one band was as strong as most men; thét considered himself in he could heave fended off the bi eastly ; that had be throwo up bis arm or closed in with Hume vo harm coald have been done, as there were seven or eight persons im the room ready to interfere, aid one of whem had reached the parties for that purpose when the pistol was fired; ani that Se retreated to draw bis adversary on, and sive Diweelf an opportunity to gtatify his wnalice. Ua the ovaclugion of Mr. Bradley's masterly summing up, the Court adj-urnedt tor ne hour cantil balt-past five. p.m) to give the ry an opportunity te take refresh ; amd on ite revpening the case was given to the jury, who retired to their chamber p- the jury Taving rendered to verdict, the Cart adjourned to spect at 10 o clock yesterday mornin, At that boer the Court sat, = shortly aitet, upon request of the jury, Judge Craw turd re-delivered the instructions granted cn the day previous. The jury thereujen bronght in @ verdict of net guilty. Lee was then re- easel and retired, accompanied by bis coan- wel and friends It is unders.ood that the jury on Seturday night stocd wine for acquittal, (wo for murder «8 indicted, and one for manslaughter.

Mr. Editor : An article appeared in your issue of Friday Inst, over the signature of « F. Scala,’ which does gross ivjustice to Mr. Withers, and of which, therefore, [ think some Rotive sluuld be taken The article in itself is but a mass of contradictions and inconsis- tencies, and the ins'nuations which it con'alne fully dewoustrate the spirit in which it was written, Br Seala opens in tove of virtu- ous indignation, and with koly borror eeeke to repel a clare azeiuet his reputation —a charge which, 1 mus: be ailowed to remark, exists only in his own vivid imagiaation. He then on to say tbat he does not profess to Leeither a Bellini ur « Verdi, but that he flatters bimeeif that bi be difference between the aeenine atticle and Yrash—be- tweet good and bad wusic I wae not aware that any uae ever accused Mr. Scala uf being 5B, eithe: of those dist-nguished composer to be gullty of such o violation of trath. Now as to whether Mr. Seale knows the dif- the genuine article and trash, 1 cannot say, a8 I do not know bim well ewengis fo yea cay this 1 can and do say that be hae par tleular oase clearly and plainly shown his in- competency, since in his card becalle the imi- tation of the bird a humbug ‘et he has rated this very humbug into his “Bird Waltz.” He has histling from Mr. Withers’ ¢ oh he says is the ition, only attraction to the music of bis triend. If such be the fact, I would uk Me Scala if he thinks that he has acted 2s be- comes the Hae Oecd man of honor, when he deprives a fellow mesician of the only attrac- tion his music affords? But Mr. Scala is still more inconsistent He tells ue, or least he insinuates, that Mr. Withe: ** greenhorn,’’ and that his com- positions are trash. This, in Ais opinion, Mey be so, but 1 should like to know why eo dis- tinguished # musician ag Mr. Scala consents to lend his aid when this trash is ormed / Why it is that he, antil within jast few nights, has alway appeared in the orchestra at the Mechanics’ Fair playing this trashy music, and that too under the leadership of & man whom he conceives to be a greenhora? By the by, Me Editor, this “greenhorn”’ seems to have disturbed Mr. Scala ¢ equilib- rium It appears as if Mr Scala is feariul that a © erren/ orn” may rob him of some of patation bie well-earned re; that this could ec: moat sincerely ho 3 will here- after rest more quietly than be hes heretofore done—that he will not allow any visions of Withers to break iu apva his siumbers. Mr. Scala remarks that he has no ol jection ‘0 any one advertising his own talents, provided Levees Gt sotodo { presume not, since I ean- not conceive how this could poselbly be any of Mr Seala’s business Now, as fur Mr. Withera's eudeavoring to raise himself by ru- ining Mr. Seale x reputation, the tiiog is la- possible, Mr Withers is tov much « a@ gon tleman to be guilty of such vontemptible uote. He hus already attained @ reputation in this elty, u3 great, if not greater that any other musician, whose stay bus been to wrt, met even exce;ting the leader of the Marine Band. His music is always received with the ap Plause which it eo justly merits; sal his obiiging manners during the operation of the Fair, bave won for him many friends in the couclacion of Mr. Seala’s card, he observes that‘ be is willing to allow his com- positions to stand » trial with those of any greenhorns, who do not yet know how to read their parts correctly in tue band which he has the honor ty lead '' Now, I bere not the slightest dowbt that Mr. Sonia is perfectly ling to eubmit bis compositions to @ pub'ic eXamination Noone has as yet doubted it. Mr. Withers, L presume, is a3 eq iy willing a¢Mr Soala is. But, Mr Editor, did it not occur to Mr. Scala, when he wrote the latter portion of the paragraph which I hay *yucted, that he did’ nut do exact justice tr uuseelf or the Marine Band persons ia this bend, who are ineapable of reading their parts correctly, would not the'r presence oreate a discord. Thia is self evi- dent. But, on the contrary, L hare always heard it remarked that the Murine Band was noted for the harmony of ite masis Then, Mr Editor, Mr. Seala must either be mista- ken, to use no stronger expression about those “ereenkorns,’ of else he must adimit that the band is not a3 strongly organized as it should be I care not which horn of the dilemma Mr Svala takes, as neither will reflect much oredit upon hiu-elf.
