Wheeler and others for grading and graveling 9th street east,from E street ‘orth to-M street south; which was referred. The bill to erect a school building in the sec- ond &chool district was laid over informally. Mr. Gulick, from the committee an claims, intrcdaced a bill to pay A. R. Corbin $30 for texes erroneously paid; which wag passed. ‘The following from the Board ot Common Council were referred, viz :—Bill for improve- ment of the Washmgton canal; for repairing ind filling up the gutters and crossings at the corner of I street north and 14th street west; to increase the compensation of the com- miesioners of the Washington Asylum to $250, and of the clerk to the commissioners to $300; bill to provide for the contingent expenses of the 'd of Common Council; bill increasing the ealary of the sealer of weights and meas. ures to $300 per annum; and a concurrent reso- Jution relative to gas. Mr. Lioyd, from the committee on finance, reported a bill to increase the bounties for vol- unterrs to €75. [The bill enacts that the act entitled “ An act to encourage volunteer enlist- ments approved August 25, 1862,” be amended so as to authorize the committee appointed under ssid act to pay a bounty of $75 to each volunteer; further, that the city of Georgetown and Levy Court be requested to co-operate with ‘Warhington in the appropriation of bounties to volunieere.) Mr. Morfan moved to amend the bill by inserting $200 instead of 875. Mr, Semmes (Mr. Lloyd in the chair) thought the increase was too large. He believed that #150 offered as a bounty would serve every purpose. He did not believe that $2,000 more could be collected in the city for the purposes of volnnteering. and therefore it was necessary to pass tome bill. Capt. Scheetz, the Provost Marshal, thinks $150 will be sufficient amount of bounty. Mr. Semmes further stated that he had paid bounties to 328 recruits since the last call, and could have secured more than a thousand more if he had had means to pay the bounties, Mr. Brown introduced an act to regulate and license pawnbrokers in the city of Washington; which was referred, Mr. Utermeble presented the petitions of Johr Donn ard John Diltz; both of which were referred. Mr. Lioyd introduced a bill to lay a gravel fcotwaik on Tenth street west, between D and E streeis so! which was passed. The nominaiion of Simeon Garrett as corpo- tion constable of the First Ward, was contirmed. Mr. Utermchle, from the committee on polier, reported @ bill to license dealers in old barrels, bexee, boxer, bones, &c ; which was passed. The Common Council resolution relative to the widening of the channel of the Potomac Tiver, was taken up and pa: sed. Mr. Utermehte introduced a hill to provide tor the paymentot a deficiency in building a house for the Metropolitan Hook and Ladder Lomprny, and it was passed. Mr. Pepper, from the committee on improve- ments, reported back the bill to reduce the trade of H street east, from Pennsylvania uvenue to G street, which was passed. The bill for erecting a fountain in Judiciary Square, was also reported k, but failed upon the third reaging. Adjourned. Loard of Comman Council.—The Board met at the usual byur, the President(A, Lloyd, Esq .) in the chair, with all the members present, ex- cept Messrs. Knight, Stevens and H. ©. Wil- fon. A communication was received from the Mayer announcing bis approyal of the follow- cis: To license and regolate bill posting; | to tuke up and relay gutter on 9th street west, | between G and H sireets north; providing tor a flag footway in the Second Ward; makiog an appropriation to supply certain deficiencies; for arravel coctw alk ou E sireet north, between 2th end List stieeis west. Also, communications from the Surveyor, 1 closing estimates for sewer tn the First ward; for sewer on 14th street, from Pennsylyania ayenue to Cansl; and for repaire of certain alieye—-which were referred, _The following were siegented tind referred : Ly Mr. Ranb—Bill to take up and relay gutter > eet, trom 10th to i3th street. By Mr. anebee—Petition of John Wagner and rs. By Mr. M. Larner—Petition of A. Richards. Mr. Raub introduced the following resoiu- ue f lived, &c, Thatthe committee to attend to the interests of this Corperation betore Uon- gress are iequested to urge Congress to open the channel on the Washington side of the Po- tcmac, as per plan and specifications of the Government engineer. Resolved, That we }ook upon the attempt of the Oorporsticn officers of Georgetown to ex- cinde this city from a part of the commerce of the Potomac as illiberal, unjast and unkind, to say the least of their action with reference to the channel of the Potomac, Long Bridge, &c. Mr. Raub said that it was high time that fomething should be done, for now, if we had to vend or receive treight, we haye to carry it through Georgetown, four or five miles out of the way. We can hardly get a smali schooner through our channel now. The Georgetown channel needs cleaning every four years, and it will not be long before she will ask us for help, and yet the moment Congress is about to do anything for us, Georgetown rises en masse. If the object of the resolution was carried out, thoneands of dollars worth of freight would come to our wharves, which now is taken five or six miles round to get he.e. Mr. M. Larner stated that another matter re- quired the attention of the committee—a bill bad been reported in the Senate amending the charter of Georgetown, which Proposes that Washington shal! pay 12-15ths of the expense of the Orphan’s Wourt, Levy Court, and county jail, while Georgetown is to bear 2-15 hs, and the county 1-15th. He contended that Wash- ington had as much right to the protection ot Congress a6 any other part of the county, and if we were to support the jail and other insti- tutions, we should have the choosing of our own officers. Mr.N D. Larner stated that Georgetown had gone cutside or their Councils and appointed their mest infiuential citizens to work against us before Congiess, and he caw no reason why we should pot Go the same. He moved that a ccmmitiee, to be composed of the Mayor, the Presidents of the two Boards, G. W. Riggs, B. &, French, and W. B. Todd, attend to the matter. The reeclution was adopted. Mr. ©. Wilson introduced ths tollowing con- cnrrent resolution: : desclved, dc.

Mr. Shedd moved to amend by inserting, sand fuym school,” euch’ as they have at the North, wheie ihey have proved a success; which was accepted. ‘The resolution was adopted.

Mr. Etiis stated that the amount appropriated ‘was not svfficient—the lowest bid being $39,000; Mr. Chas. B. Church, Mr, Canfield, from the police committee, re- ported the bill providing for the appointment of additional police magistrate, ‘and wcreatea new police district, and asked that it be pat en its paeeage r. M. Larner moved to postpone the con- sideration of the bill. Mr. Canfield said that the Board of Police had appointed four police magistrates for the entire city. * Mr. M Larner stated that that fact wasa rearon why action sponte ne. postponed. He thought the bill was introd to accommo- dete one indfvidual. “ The considération of the bill was postponed. Mr. Cantield, from the police committee, asked tobe discharged from the further con- sideration ot the resolution instructing them to inquire imto the pare, of amending the lawe relating to licenses, with a view of in creasing the revenue. Mr. C. stated that in the opinion of a suit. of the committee the rate of licenses as now fixed by law is as much as the business community should at this time be taxed with, when the heavy Government tax is taken into consideration. They are opposed to raising additional reyenue without any spe- cial object. It is true that our expenses have increased, but the increased revenue more than overbalances. The committee were discharged. Mr. Shepherd (markets committee) reported adversely on the bill regulating the sale of fresh meat, and the committee was discharged. Mr. Shepherd (health committee) stated that the bill (Aldermen’s) providing for gratuitous vaccination did not appear perfectly clear to some of the committee, and moved it be print- ed and made theorder for Monday next, which, after Mr. Shedd had proposed an additional section, was carried. The bill from the Board of Aldermen for the more general lighting of the city with gas, was ordered to be printed, and made the special or- der for Monday next. The substitnte adopted by the Aldermen in lien of the bill passed by the Council, to license vendere of old barrels, boxes and bones, was passed. Adjourned. THE MURDER OF DENNIS SHANAHAN.— We have given the particulars of the trial of Jere- miah Hendrick, indicted for the murder of Dennis Shanahan, resulting in a verdict ot murder in the first degree. Mendricks, a team- sier, it will be remembered, hed a difficulty with the Shanahane abont an old stove he had purchased of them, and Hendricks went to Shanshan’s honse at night, and after some words, Hendricks plunged a knife in the stom- ach of deceased and ran off; but the wife of ihe deceased pursued him and two soldiers ar- rested him. Sebjoined will be found the clear and intel- ligent charge of Judge Olin to the jury in the case: CHARGE OF JUSTICE OLIN. The prisoner, gendemen of the jary, is in- aicted for the Gime of murder. That crime corsiets in one person ofsound mind and dis. cretion, that is in his right mind, and in the poreession of all his. faculties,—unlawfully taking the life or another human being, “with malice afor‘thought,” and without legal ex- curse or justification. That definition of the crime of murder implies in the first place that the pergon who commits it, must possess the ordinary faculties of a human being in such a Way &s to be amenable to the law for the con- sequences of his condact. Thst is, he must rot te an idiot, or a crazy man, but an intelli- gent being, capable of judging betoveen right and wrong. The act of killing te constitute the crime of murder must be done “with malice What is meant by maitce. in law. is the intentioval doing of a wrongful act. In this case itis the intentional kiiling of de- cessed, Shenahan, whether that intention was formed weeks, hours, or a tew moments before the uct was done, is immaterial, provided there wae the celiberate, fixed purpose of doing the act prior to its commission. Malice, or In other words, the manifest or wicked intention to kill, is a necessary element in the crime ¢T jauraer. at May be express of implied, but whether express or implied, (4s the law terms it,) it must be clearly and satis- {ctorily proven. Express malice exists when it ie shown by proof of previous threats, or any acts clearly tndicating the deliberate intention to kill. Malice is implied, when the act cf killing is shown to be cone in a cruel, £ manner, without legal excuse or snff provocation, and evincing & wicked and de- praved heart regardless of human life. Let me illustrate what is meant in Jaw by express malice, by a reterence to the testimouy in_this case, Now, in this erse, you will recollect the tes- timony of Owen Sallivan, who speaks of meet- ing the prisoner near the house of the deceased, and inviting him to go with him up to his rcom; and the prisoner followed him up to his room, 20d took a seat by ihestoye. Andasthis witness jurther testifiee, as soon as he had be- come seated he drew out a knife, resembling in appearance the one produced here in court, snd remarked, «He would put that knife through Shenahan’s body before he went to bed that night; and when remonstrated with by the witness, aud told “that if he did so, he would hang for it,” he replied “he didn’t care adamp.” Now, if you believe that testimony, it will bo for you to say whether there is not evidence to satisfy you beyond a reasonable doubt that the prisoner at that pericd of time had formed the settled and deliberate purpose of taking the life of the deceased. It you do give fuli cre- deuce to this testimony, and so conclude as to the intention of the party, and find that the threat is subsequently carried into execuiion, then you haye whatis termed in law “express matice.” I think I need not on this occasion call your attention to the distinction between murder and the other classes of homicide, such as man- slaughter, &c.; for I see no evidence in this case proving or tending to prove the offence charzed ix this indictment to be of a grade less than that of murder. Still what the evidence is and whatit proves are questions of fact purely within your province. I think it, iowever, my duty to instruct you Qs matier of law that were, though you believe that the prisoner and the deceased came to- gether at the house of Mrs. Conner at some elght or nine o’clock the same evening of the homicide, and that on that occasion the de- ceused eaid in the language of Mrs. Conner, «1 have a pistol loaded,” that neither that tan. guage or anything else that was eaid in refer- ence tothe controversy about the stove ought in any way to effect the character of the trans. action which took place between eleven and twelve o clock of the same eyening—the termi- nation of this fatal affray. Let me briefly call your attention to the cir- cumstances of this case, with a view of in- flructivg you as to the principles of law ap plicable to it. If it be found to be true, upon the testimony, and this is your province, gen- tiemen, that the prisoner after this controversy about the purchase of a etove, as attested by the witnesses, arms himself with this inife, (produced before you,) is sven in the vicinity of the house of the deceused, makes the delib erate threat, in the presence of Sullivan, of killing him, goes to the house of the deceased, and célis for bim to come out, and then, with- out an effori! on the part of the deceased, or #ny exhibilion of violence, such as would en- dapger the Jire of the prisoner. er threaten some great Lodily harm, he stabs aad kills him. it is murder, Let me eee, gentlemen, if I can make this point clear to you. Suppose during the contro- veTsy In respect to the stove, the deceased had taid, © Why, [ haye a pistol at Lome, and wherever you want to fgut I am ready to fight you,” and the prisoner, accepting of the proposition, should.arm bimeelf, enter into the fight, and slay his adversary, every prisciple ot law and morality wonld stamp the act as that of murder.

I have thonghtit my duty tosay what I have, so that you may Le enabled to understand the rules of ‘the jaw, such as I beheve applicable to this cace, never intend to interfere with your pro- vince, which is io ascertain what the real facta of the case are as derived from the testimony of the witnesses. That belongs to you, and the only security for the proper and faithful ads ministration of justice—the only security for your rights, for mine, and the rights of others, is for you to fiariessly discharge your duty, and that the Court only discharges its own. if I err in reference to the rules, which charge you, must govern you in the decision a case like this, the party has his remedy, bat if I were to usurp your province, and undertake to decide what the facts are in the case, there is no proceeding in the law whereby a remedy could be had, nor on the other hand is there any remedy known to the law where the jury undertake to decide the law of the case in dis- regard of the instrnc:ions of the Uourt. One other cons deration. Several of you, when being empannelled, I think, expressed: what perhaps I should not much dissent fro! and that wis that yon were opposed to thi policy of the law which punishes with death the crime of murder, But with that in our present relations, sitting as jurors, and as ® court, we have nothing to do. Neither yo! nor I are resporsible for the law, and our on!: duty is to administer it as we find it. I know that you. as honest and faithful men, in obedi- ence to the oaths which you have voluntarily assumec, will discharge yourdaty. Youmust discbarge it cautiously, carefully, and be so satisfied that your conscience is entirely at rest, as to the tacis of this saction, found by you. The prisoner has proved, gen'lemen, by sev= eral witnesees that bis character prior te this: accusation, so far as they were aware, wag good. Itis my duty toeay to you that where the facts of a case are doubtful, good character oiten avails very much toiurn the scale; bat cocd chrracter is of no avail where the facts are entirely clear and reliable, and where they saticty beyond all doubt. Now, 1m this casé, I peed not comment upon the testimony of these witnesses who speak of this man’s chare acter. One of them, at least, had an opportu. nity to kLow something of this man’s h=bits ard cisposition, but it will be for you to say wieiher the others who wstified to his char. acter on a slight acquaintance of a year or and t not an intimate acquaintance, woul bave bad any ccnsiderable opportunity to know the habits, temper and heart of a man go thor- as to speak with any decree of foree as character, one way or the other.
