It was « great 11 irrosistible movement of the people our o ents were unable to withstend, and were borne down by @ popular current, far more powertul than that of the mighty father of waters.

They prefer spar champaign, aud perhaps their taste is correct, ‘Dnt they ought to reflect that itis net within the poor mun’s reach. They have a mortal hatred to our unof and would prefer any other quadruped.— . Whig songs, to their ears they appear rating of discord, although chanted by the velieat daughters, and movt melodious voices of the land. We are very sorry to disoblige our Democratic friends, but I am afraid they will have to reconcile them- vee, as well ag they can, to our log cabin, hard cider, nd Whig songs. Popular excitement, demoustrating @ lively interest in the administration of public ire, is fur preferable to a state of stillness, of sullen gloom, end silent acquiescence, which denotes the existence of des- potisin, or a state of preparation for its introductio: And we need not be disturbed, if that excitement should pmeiney manifest itseli, in ludicrous, but innocent, forms. But our opponents seem to have short memories. Who Sommenced that species of display and exhibition of which they now so bitterly complain? Have they alrea- dy forgotten the circumstances attendant on the campa ot 1328 and 18327 Have they forgotten the use whic! they made of the hog—the whole hog, bristle: and all 7 Has the scene escaped their recollection, of bursting the heads out of barrels, not of hard cider, but of bee ing their contents into ditches, and then drinki ty liquor?

And I will not take up your time by narrating the numerous instances of mean, low and vulgar indignt- ty to which [ have been personally exposed. Our oppo ponents had better exercise a lute philosophy on the oc- casion, They hve been our masters in employing sym- bols and devices to operate upon the passions of the peo- ple. And, if they would reflect ard philosophize a little, they would arrive at the conclusion, that whenever an ar- my or apolitical party achieves a victory over an adver sary, by means of any new instrument or stratagem, that ersary will be sure, sooner or later, to employ the same means. : I am truly glad to see our opponents returning toa sense of order and decency.

I should greatly prefer to see every free citizen of the United States deliberately considering and determin ing how he can best promote the honor and prosperity of his country, by the exercise of his inestimable privileges and coming to the polls unaffected by all sinister exertion and there independently depositing his suffrage. I should infinitely prefer to see calumny, falsehood and detraction totally abandoned, and truth, sincerity, honor and good faith alone practised in all our discussions, and 1 think 1 may venture to assure our opponents that, whenever they ‘are prepared to conduct our public discussicns and popu: far electi ns in the mannér and upon the principles which I have indicated, the whig party will be as prompt in fol- lowing their good example, as they were slow and reluc- tant to imitate their bad one. The man does not breathe who would be more happy than I should be, to see all parties united, as a band o! brothers, to restore our beloved country to what it has been, to what it is so capable of being, to what it ever should be, the great model of self government, the boast of enlightened and liberal men throughout the world, and, by the justice, wisdom, and benificence of its operation, the terror and the dread of ail tyrants. I know and deplore, deeply deplore, the demoralization which has so extensively prevailed in our country, during afew past years, It should be to every man, who has an Ame rican heart, a source of the deepest mortification, and most painful regret. Falsehood and treachery, in high places, peculation and traud ameng public servants, tress, embarrassment and ruin among the people, tracted and disheartened at home, and treated with con- tempt and obloquy abroad, compose the sad features, during the period to which I have aiverted ef our unfor tunate nutional picture, [should rejoice to see this great country once more itself again, and the history of the past fifteen years shrouded inadark and impenetrable veil.— And why shall we not see it?

We have seen Presidential elections during the last quarter of a century, but we do not recollect any one in which the people have discovered so much apathy. The campaign of 1840 was a scene Canapa.—An announcement 1s made in the offi- cial Gazette that the Provincial Parliament stands for despa:ch of business. Since we last took occasion to refer to public do- ings in Canada, there has not occurred anything Oi particular interest. The newspapers on each side are, however, very busy in wordy disputations abont the debate in the British Parliament, which brought up by Mr fivebuck. They are exer- sing all their ingenuity »s learned commentators, each to give a hue of meaning to the official views of ministers as expressed in that debate, and are quite as much tm the dark about the exact value of the term ‘‘responsible government,” or at least as far from agreeing upon it as ever, and they never wil, notwithstanding the expert allusion to it b Loid Stanley, so long as they continue to mystify the matter with words, wo. words. The most important and sensible part of that debate appears to be overlooked by our Canadian neighbors, and that is the very sensible admission of Sir R. Peel, that the value of retaining and being at lavish ex- pense for this colony would remain very probiemat- ical, so long as bya persistance in their present and past career, they appear to be insensible of the advantages of this connection themselyes.— If the Canadians could see further than their nose, they would cease warring about words ani! look at the fact, the new fact, that Sir R. Peel is beginning to weigh well and coolly the question how far itis wise and statesmanlike to perpetuate the present existing relation between the colony and the mother country, and which he regards as is apparent from the new light that has flashed on his mind, pretty much the same as that of a spoiled child and an over indulgent parent. There will be more of this anon. Common sense will occasion- ally neutralize the sophistication of the politician ; and verily, a little leaveu of truth, if brought into active operation, sooner or later leaveneth the whole lump of tallacious theory. Sir R. Peel will be able to derive some valuable fact for contemplation from the late disclosures of that vile jade, ** The Canada Land Company.”— One would have thought that the bursting of that bubble, the Australian concern, a conple of years ago, should have been sufficient to open the eyes of every one to the real character of companies of land-jobbers, alias land-sharks; and we trust that Peel will not be deterred from looking to the job in which the Hon (%) Mr. Ellice is the principal actor, one whit the more because that honorable ge ‘ntleman is a very intimate relation of his own. The Canada papers speak of the reception of Sir C. Metcalfe, on his arrival at the new seat of go- vernment, Montreal, as very warm, and highly flattering to thatpersonage. If this be set down as proof positive of his popularity with, or an endorse- ment of his administration, by the mass, it will be an egregious error.

Caleb Cushing, our Minister to China, arrived at Hong Kong in the trigate Brandywine on the 24th of February. Great preparations were made at Hong Kong to receive him. A circular had been issued by Mr. Cushing to the American merchants, asking them for informa- tion relative to their intercourse with the Celestials, Teas were said to be very scarce and high The chipper Eagle, trom this port, reached Can- ton in 108 days’ passage against the monsoons.

Metcalfe, will always command powerful | consumption of the article is now much diminished — This was, in a great measure, produced by the sad commercial and pecuniary reverses which had visi- ted the country previous to that struggle. Disap- pointment—avarice—all the ambitious feelings of man’s nature, served to give exasperation to the feelings cf that day, and communicate a spirit of almost sublime energy to the contest, and which afforded the only reliet to its drunken revelries and mingled coon and hickory absurdities. The electioneering contest of the present day re- sembles that of 1840 only in one particular, and that is, the display which it affords of the utter licen- tiousness of the party politicians, and the gross de- gradation and awful demoralization of the party press, comprehending both Whigs and Democrats, with a very few exceptions on both sides. But the excitement of 1840 pervaded the entire mass of the people, whilst the excitement of 1844, with all its demoralization, is confined to the party press and the mere party hacks. The great body of the people regard with marked apathy, contempt, and disgust, the manner in which the contest is conducted, and when the day of elec- tion arrives, they will go up quietly tothe polls, and deposite their ballots, without mingling at all in the licentiousness and folly of the fray. The country, been gradually regaining its commercial prosperi ty. Trade is improving. Industry is flourishing All the elements of prosperity are in rapid motion, and all intelligent business men, in every depart- ment of human industry and enterprise, begin to be convinced that the farther politics are remo- It is this apathy amongst the masses of the peo- political excitement and buffoonery,which renders he prediction of the probable result of this contest,so And ithy, unmannerly and vulgar nature can supply, “Murderer,” “ ruf- ”’ **gambler,” and such terms, are applied to ile epithets. Mr. Frelinghuysen is reviled and de~ ided because he is piousand a cold water man; and, n the same breath, his contemptible revilers abuse hemselves, not long since, declared, with fierce imprecations, that if the Texas treaty were passed, they would dissolve the Union! Now all this vile, malignant, disgracetul conduct, is regarded in its proper light by the masses of the especially amongst the polite French population— would, as a matter of course, evince a respectful and courteous bearing towards him. We recollect, too well, how that part of the Montrealers, who call themselves loyal par excellence, and British every inch of them, treated Sir C. Bagot. His first entrée into that city was most enthusiastic. Every de- vice—“all alliances and means to boot”—were re- sorted to, to give effect and éclat to his arrival. Yet that same faction, in one short year, received him, at his‘ return from Kingston, with the mosi marked reserve and studied coldness. Aithough thousands were assembled on the wharf to see his landing, not one solitary cheer arose to greet the good man, solely because he had earned the addi- tional*honor of being a good aed liberal Governor Facts are stubborn things. We hope Sir Charles Metcalfe will not be too much elated by the warmest attentions of the Montrealers. Tue Erutoptans.—The miastrelsy of these pro- fessors isbeyond question admired by all who go to hear them—and deservedly so. Their perform ances take place at the Apollo rooms, 410 Broad- way, where they are nightly listened to by crowds of the gay and fashionable.

Affairs were somewhat settled when the Preble left, but it was thought that tranquillity would not long continue, as the rebel chief Acoan, had mani- fested considerable reluctance to obey the orders, and coine under the subjection of Gen.

But whether Polk may be elected or defeated by a large majority, it is impossible to tell We shall, however, watch with due care the pro- gress of events, and keep our readers fully and ac- curately informed. Emteration To Wisconstv.—A vast political emigration is preparing to go to Wisconsin in a very short time. It seems that Senator Tallmadge, who has been appointed as Governor of Wisconsin, is only a link in a series of appointments, which have @ very curious aspect. According to all ap- pearances, and from the information we have re- ceived, the whole conservative party of New York, immediately after Captain Tyler’s nomination to the Presidency, made arrangements for emigrating to Wisconsin, to manage that Territory with the as well as the Oxford, will sail with a full comple- ment. Apropos ot packets: we are informed that a passenger from Boston, who has crossed the At- lantic several times with Captain Rathbone, has lately presented a beautiful and costly silver snufl- box to that experienced navigator, in token of es- teem and respect.

RICHMOND COURT HOUSE. AN BXCLUSIVH FULL DAY'S PROCEEDINGS, : UP TO TEN O'CLOCK LAST NIGHT, Trial of Polly Bodine, for the Murder of Emmeline Houseman, her sister-in-law. ‘This trial is continued at Richmond Court-house, Staten Island, before the Court of Oyer und Ter- miner, consisting of Hon. Amasa J. Parker, Cir- cuit Judge; Hon. Albert Ward, First Judge ot Richmond County, and Assistant-Judges Cortel- you, Littell, Crocheron and Clawson. For prosecution, District-Attorney Crarx, James R. Wurrney, Esq., and Commissioner Purtps. For defence, Daviy Granam, R. N. Morrison and Cuintron De Wirt, Esqs. Quite an excitement was created in this neigh- borhood and at Port Richmond this morning (Fri- day,) by the appearance of a colored man,very gen- teely dressed, who said that he had come to the island to reveal some great secret relative to the murder of ihe deceased. He had withhim a book containing an entry of his dreams, in which he states that the deceased had appeared to him and revealed the whole secret of the murder and who had committed it. He was found upon examina- tion to be a crazy negro ‘‘ dreamer” named James F. Bayard, tailor, of 106 Sands street, Brooklyn, He was ordered to quit the island or run the risk of being lock ed up. Firtn Day. At the opening of the Court, Mr. Gnawa for deferce, stated that he understood that the Court had adjourned on Thursday afternoon in order to allow the prosecution tume to introduce three witnesses, Dr. Munday, Alderman Vandervoort, and Mr. Coddington, who were ubsent, who had been represented by the proseoution us having been subpanaed at a prener period to attend thetrial, He had been informed this morning by Alderman Vander- voort, that he had not been subpesnaed until last evening, and also that the prosecution intended to introduce addi: tional testimony. He hoped, therefore, that the prosecu- tion would be compelled to confine themselves to these three witnesses, and then rest their testimony. The Court stated they would hear the three witnesses, and then decide this question. noweLt Munpay was then called by preseeution and sworn-—Knows the accused ; was called to see her at the prison on Monday the Ist of January ; she told me she was troubled with peculiar paing ; on the Wednesday following she was delivered of a atill horn child; some property was taken irom her on Tuesday the 2d of Janua- ty by the Sherif: he told her that he was ordered to search her cell; he did so and found a small leather pocket wallet containing about ¢10 in bills ie 5 1 took a memorandum of the bills, but it has since been worn out in my pocket; { cannot say that this is the pocket book. Cross-ecamined by Granam for defence—At the time the sheriff went,intojher cell to search it the accused was un- dez labor pains ; she was actually in labor at the time ; the sheriff said he had authority to search her cell; she made no objections to the cell being searched ; she said she had nothing but a pocket book, and she told him where it was ; this was the day before she was confined. Sautn Coppinaron called and sworn—I reside at Rah- way, New Jersey ; I resided in New York on Christmas last ; knows accused and have known her for some two or three years past ; I saw her in New York on Sunday, the 8istday of December ; I saw her in Spring street on tnat day ; ‘she was passing towards Hudson street ; I re- cognized her at the time; it was between 12 and 1 o’clock; Ihad never spoken to her before ; she turned up Hudson street, and I left the company I was with and followed her and spoke to her; she recognized me, and asked if my name was Coddingten ; I asked her if she had heard of the reports in circulation about her ; she said she had; [asked her if she was aware the officers were in search 0! her} she said she was,but that she was perfect ly innocent; I asked her why she did not return to her friends ; her an- swer was, that they were the first to suspect her or ac cuse her and she had no friends ; I advised her to return and I would protect her so far as was in my power ; she turned about and went with me as far as Alderman Van- dervoort’s ; he.was not at home ; she begged of me not to take her before any public magistrate ; we went aleng until we came to a tavern near a stuble where horses were to let ; I asked her to take some refreshments at the tavern, but she declined; the stable was next door; I took her into one of the parlors up stairs and asked her to set down while I got the car:iage; she said she would rather walk then ride; Alderman Vandervoot came up stairs and we all three went down to the ‘Tombs together in the car riage; she had on a dark cloak and one, two or three shawls, a dark colored hood and green veil, and a smal] handkerchief round her head; she said she had had a small satchel basket with her, but [ do not know that this is the one here; it was very cold that day; she said she hed been to church that morning and had left the basket there by mistake ; the basket was found in a church in Franklin street, between West Broadway and Hud-on street; there was a pair of gloves and a black lace or crape veil inthe basket; I do not remember what else was in the baskst; I had never spoken to her before ; when I accosted her first I passed by her andfsaid, ‘is this Mrs. Bodine! Yesterday af- ternoon was the first time I was subpanaed ; |,was sub- penied at Rahway, New Jersey; I did not go to New Jer sey to avoid the service of any subpenae ; I went on my own business, Cross-examined by Granam for Defence—The day 1 met the accused in New York it was very col By Prosecutten—who asked the privilege to put, an other question to witness.—The accused informed me that she had neither eat or slept for one or two nights ; she said that when she leftthe house in Washington strect on Saturday night, she crossed over towards the East riv. er, and walked ont to Harlem and back ; that, on return- ing in the morning, she came down in town and went to church in Franklin street, in tho morning ; she said all she had eaten the night before was 4 piece of pie; I think she said she had falien, or had a spasm in the street, as her face was bruised ; this conversation was held on board ot the boat coming down, Counsel for defence objected to any further relation of the conversation of accused with witness,as he had prom isedto protect her if she wouid go to the island. The court sustained the objection. By Defence.-I do not know thi on entitled to the reward; I have been told I was, and | wes not; if it i+ claimed by any one, I suppose I am’ entitled to a share of it; that will ‘depend upon circumstances; if nobod: should claim the reward .’ll say | would; the small han: kerchief she had round her head presented nothing unu- sual for a cold day; it did not prevent me from recogni- zing her; she made no hesitation in recognizing me at once when I spoke to her; she answered me with perfect coolness when I told her that she was suspected, and the officers were in search ot her; she said she would come to the Island without my going to a magistrate; this was said while I was going on the stoop of Alderman Vander- voort’s house. Davip VaNoERvoort sworn.—I was an Alderman of New York city last year; I saw the accused on Sunday, the last day of December, with Mr. Coddington; 1 met them, and went to a room over the tavern or porter house, and remained there ux.til Mr. Coddington got the carriage; she said nothing of any consequence to me while there; | do not know that 1 can identify the basket here shown eC. Q.—What did she say coming down in the boat 7 ‘The defence objected, as the promise of Coddington, who was on board the boat, to protect her, was sufficient to exclude the testimony, and also that the conversation was in the presence of a magistrate, before she was cau- tioned as to her rights. Thecourt noted the exception. Witwess—The accused said on board the boat that she had walked all the way across Staten Island to the Quar antine, onthe Friday night p evious; she did not talk much; her face was tied up with a handkerchief when | first saw her in the city; I believe she said she had fell and hurt herself the night before; the handkerchief was removed at the police office by some one. Cross-ecamined by Guaniam for defence.—I was not sub- peenaed to attend in this case till last evening at 9 o'clock; [received two subpenacs last evening; I have not been outof the city for the past several weeks, ‘The Prosecution ebjected {to the inquiry, when the court stated that it was proper, as it was evident that the cause should not have been delayed, as the witnesses named last evening were not properly subpanaed The Prosecution here said they should call another witness. Th» Defence contended that by previons understanding last evening, the prosecution were to rest on calling these three witnesses. On consultation, the prosecution as sented to rest their testimony at this point. They have examined 51 witnesses. The Court then took a short recess to allow counsel for defence to consult previous to their epening. At IL o'clock, Gisnrow De Wirt, Esq, proceeded to open the cause for defence, in which he stated that he had been the last counsel called in the case, but should endeavor to discharge his duty to his client in a manner satisfactory to the Court and in accordance with those conscientious motives that should always actuate coun- sel. He then alluded to the unfortunate position of the accused, the responsibility of the jury, and the duty of all concerned in the important cause: that the jury should discard all prejudices, former opinions and hearsay stories, and depend upon the testimony as presented before them. It was very natural, he said, that when a great crime was committed, that a jury should loose eight of the true position of the person charged ; but they should not only be satisfted that a crime has been committed, but that the prisoner at the bar had committed that crime. He said he should allude for a moment to the effect of prejudice as created by popular opinion, which uncon sciously obtained predominance over the mind, without the person being aware of its insidious influence. It therefore became the jurers to search their minds to as- certain whether prejtdice was not lurking there, and if so to root it out and judge from the facts as presented, only. ‘The situation of the prisoner, he was truly unpro pitious indeed-—that in addition tothe offence tor which she was on trial, she had heen charged by the District. At- torney, in his opening, with having, at a previous time lived iu illicit intercourse with a party also charged as an accessory to the murder, which statement was calculated to create prejudice against her in the minds of the j' This position, by the prosecution, might compel the fence to present the circumstances under which thia ac- quaintance was commenced and continued. The accused was married, while young, to her husband, Bodine, who had afterwards committed the offence of bigamy, and finally died in State prison afew weeks since, while un der the sentence ot the law. That the accused had be come acquainted with Mr. Waite in New York, while she was engaged there in keeping a small shop, and that this acquaintance ripened into mutual affee: tion, which was followed by an intimacy tha’ weuld long since have terminated in Lawful marriage,ha’ not the existence of her husband prevented it. Her affec jon for Waite was pure and real ; not selfish oF onimal | she had. at a time when her father divided $1000 among nis children loaned that money to him, and took his notes for payment, which are yet due and which he believed are now, in the handsjofthe prosecution, end would be cal- [led for during this trial. He believed thet this was now a part of the defence; but he dreaded its although it would have had nothing to do with the The commission of one offence was generally con @s G foundation for others, and, therefore, the unfortunate position of the prisover under the cij ces that sur.) rounded her. “He then ailuded to of rr, newspaper publication and other sourees of excitement which were created ot the time, until all “eyes were tumed towards the case, and which immediately cen- tered upon the unfortunate prigoner as soon as sho Was arrested on mere suspicion of the commission of the offence. He regretted its «ffeet, and if it was in his power he would prevent the publication of every rumor relative,to any offinee, uatil the jury had rendered theig verdict. They would show that mére rumor—not mere ru ‘but perfect witcheratt, had formed the basis of suspicion against her, and that old Mr. Van Pelt,the father of deceused, had, previgus to any suspicion falling upon the accused, consulted a sooth sayer, or jortune-teller— and thus was he convinced, nay satisfied, that this unfor tunate woman had committed the horrible crime of mur- der, He then alluded to the opportunity given accused to escape if she had been guilty—the organization of the se- cret investigating committee, which he said was a dis- @race to the course of justice and to all the officers of jus- Uce in the country—and that during all this investigation the uccused remained at the very scene of the murder until the hour she was told sue was suspected. He then referred to the law and common sense view of circum stantial testimony as laid down in Hodges’ case in Crown reports, and which should govern the action of the jury, That the jury must be satisfied not only that these cir, cumstances were consistent with the prisoner having committed the act, but they must ulso be satisfied that the facts were such as to be inconsistent with any other ra: tional conclusion that the prisoner was the guilty person He tnen illustrated this position by several apalagous cases, and referred to the fect of his Stepping out with the prisoner yesterday, while she was temporarily unwell, while standing at the prison hall below, he missed sight of her, and looked about saw another person. passing down the road resembling her. He became excited, anc was on the eve of pursuing the person in the street, wher he heard the accused vomiting at the far end of the prisor hall In illustration of conviction upon circumstantial testimony, he asked if she had then escaped would no} any jury have almost instantly convicted him of the offence, ulthough he had committed no actual guilt After alluding to the several points of testimony of thy prosecution, in which, he said, they endeavored to es jish the theory that the murder was committed by ‘hoed cused on Saturday night, he stated that the defence woul show that the deceased Was live on Sunday morning, and therefore that the whole basis of the ‘prosecution would be tumbled to pieces, That the prosecution hat urged this point with apparent force, and even urged that the accused could have committed the murder at no other period of time. After describing the conrse of the testi- mony relative to the accused having been at the house of deceased on Sunday aiterthe murder is alleged to hi been committed, he said the defence would show concin sively that on her return, after trying the door, the pro bability of the absence of deceased was talked about by the family, as would have been usual on such an occa sion, They would show that on Sunday night the acous ed was at her fathe1’s house—thut she remained thers all the afternoon and evening—slept there tha night in the same bed with her sister-in-law, Mre Van Name, and in the same room with her mother ; tha she got upthe next morning, got breakfast and attende to her usual occupations. “Phe baskets taken by bert the city, which were usually carried by her, they woul, show were filled on Sunday morning, and remaine ing in the bed room of the accused at her mother during the whole day on Sunday. They would show bt the preceding testimony that the offence was not comm ted by the accused on Sunday night, and by satisfying jury that the deceased was alive on Sunday morning, th accused could not be guilty of the offence, if the theor of the prosecution was based upon any thing like truth An regards the possession of the property that the proxe cution had attempted to trace to the accused, the: would show the geld watch to have been in other hand and in not those of Waite on the very morning tht they allege the accused had pawned it) This woul be made manifest from one of the very witnesses calle by the prosecution before the preliminary examination The testimony of the pawnbrokers of New York, who had endeavored to ratisty the jury of the identity of th accused, he would show to be unfounded and without be lief, He would present the pawnbroker Adolphus witl adouble face—Gotze on one side and Adolphus on th other—and show the jury by testimony that he had ru) away from Berlin {to escape that justice that was ther. awaiting him—such a witness was therefore not to b believed, nor did he think any pawn broking Jew wast be believed who refused to take the oath of his faith i giving testimony in a case where his interest waa to b effected by the result. They would show that the motive if motive there was, of hope of obtuining possession of tht $1000 talked of, by the comm: mn of this murder could have no application to the accused, as sh knew the money was not in the house of deceased but at her father’s. This they conld prove conclusivel beyond the remotest doubt, and, therefore, no motive, ex cept the possexsion of property worth some $30 or $4 could have prompted the accused to have committed th deed. They would satisfy the jury of the kind relatior ship that had always existed between the accused an: deceased, and the love and affection of accused for thi deceased child. The learned gentleman contended tha this ety would present such a donbt that no jur} could unravel the’mystery that surreunded it, or bring the commission of the offence home to the accused. | was one of those secrets that nought but the inscrutabl: eye of Divine Providence could reveal at the last day In relation to the absence of accused from the houst of deceased on Sunday night, they would show tha the accused had urged her ‘sister, Mrs Van Namé to go over vnd sleep with the ‘deceased, on thai very Sunday night after the prosecution now allege the murder was committed. He then alluded to the letter found on Waite, that is alleged to have been sent by th¢ accused, and contended that the t:ue translation of thd letter, if any could be obtained, requested Waite to hide the writings, which were the notes of evie dences of his dobts toher, and not to hide any “thi as alleged by the prosecution. Her object in making thi request was to prevent their exposure while the officers were searching the house, and thus avoid suspicion of her close connexion with Waite. He said they should not admit that any murder had been committed, but that tho fire in the house must have been burning for hours before it was discovered. He would show that the drawers of the bureau containing the jewellery were unlocked, and not locked, as was alleged by the prosecution when they endeavored to satisfy the jur that trom this disclosure the jewelry must have been t- ken by @ member of the family, or some one sequainted with the premises; the two boxes that the prosecution sl- lege were not inthe drawers at the time of the fire, but were afterwards returned, they would show were ,in the bureau, and present them the evidence by the marks of the figure and size of the boxes on the drawers as sur- rounded by the blackened smoke of the fire. As to the “bundle” of clothes that had been presented to the jury as forming the chain of circumstantial testimony againit the accused, because it was not blackened, and therefore must have been returned by accused alter the fire was discovered; they would as had already been prosecution, satisfying the jury that the acc! Seen near the house, ner at the house on the night of the fire, and therefore that she could not have been the persom who returned the bundle, He then close¢ with a foreible appeal to the justice of the jury, by asserting as the theo. ry of the defence, that the murder was committed on Sun. day or Monday night, and not on Saturday night. the deceased was alive on Sunday morning, aud the accus- ed not out of the house of her mother on Sunday night, or on the Island on the Monday night, the night that they scume the murder was committed, if it wus not commit- ted on Sunda: The court Le} here teok a recees et an hour for dinner. AFTERNOON SxsstoN. TESTIMONY POR THE DEFENCE. The Distuicr Artonngy asked that the witnesses of defence be excluded from the Court room during the ex- amination of testimony, und be called in ene nt a time. The counsel tor the defence objected to such an order, as the prosecution should have made the motion before they commenced their side of the case, and then the rule would have;born eequally The Court concurred with the defence, and allowed the witnesses to remain.
