Work Convention=Third Day. At the opening of the seasion this morning, Mr. Ryckman mtroduced his plan for the reformation of society which was accompanied with the following resolutions: 1, To empower tho Government at any time to limit ‘emieration so that no excess may derange the operetion of the lat ‘Lo wdolise the right to declare or wage war except on our oWan territory in our own defence. 3 To establish Free trede, and by these two measures saving the nation from the horrors of wars, with oll the waste and demoralization of armies, navies, custom-bou- Ses, and expensi mbassies abi . 4 To render the obligations to cultivate, inseparable fiom the right to own Jand 6 Tovestin the General Government the sole right ito issue circulating medium. 6 To make it the duty of Government to loan to all ‘useful productive enterprises, on good security, money lat no more than 1 per cent interest. 7 To exempt from forfeiture tor debt or misdemeanor, the land the debtor cultivates, so mugh of the stock, 1m- plements, and crops as may be necessary for the support of his family, and the continuance of nis industry, also of . household furniture and clothes. all vindictive and revengeful punishment imposing only such restraints us may b essury to prevent a repetition of offe for crime: * thought m those restraiuts to be so applied as to have a reformatory ‘influence. 9.

At about half past nize o’clolc last evening, Mr. Sher wood having #' upthe cese on the part of | people, Judge Parker rose to deliver nis charg. | Jury. The Court room was crowded to ex aced with the beauty and lovelin ad loft their homes, although the rein fell in torrents, to listen tothe charge of one of the most eloquent and learned Judges on tue bench. He commenced by say- i GextLemen:—It is evident from the patience you have | exhibited on this trial, tuat you feel the deep sesponsibi- lity restuung upon you, and the importacce of the cause itis doubtless the first time in your lives that you hav been called upon to pass on Cie of this maguitude, and probably it never will be again. The prisoner at the bar is indicted for murder, and it must always be a ainiul duty to sitin judgment upon ths life of a fellow eing. Appeals have been made to your sympathies by counsel—inflamatory appeals, caiculated to arouse your passions and prejudices—wirh these you have nothing to do, You are to pass on the facts and the law; you have simply to say if the prisoner is guilty of what he stands charged. he courtand jury have nothing to do with sympathy. If they hadthey could not adminis‘er jus- tice. Much has been said clearly foreign to the cause by counsel, about their position. With tris you hi thingtodo. Every thing said by them, except in rels tipn to the witnesses, tho law, aud facts of the cuse, is from the purpose, The duty which devolves upon you is to listen to the facts. If there is a reasonable doubt in yourminds as to the guilt of the prisouer, he must nave the benefit of it; but it must be a reasonable doubt; no- thing else will give you power to acquit. The prisoner is indicted for murder in being at the Earle sale on the 7th August, and is charged with the murder of under sheriff Steele. We must examine the law and the facts It is conceded by counsel that amurder was committed, and that is the first q! ion for us to coi ler. | will | not stop to detail ail the facts. It is enougn to say, that on the 7th of August last, the Sheritt proc d to Earle’s for the purpose of destraining his property for rent due Charlotte D.

He concluded by taying that by his plan a system of gov- ernment would be formed to every man’s satisfaction. _Mr. Cuinron Roosevenr next addressed the conven- tion and laid before them a long string of resolutions, defining his plan forthe reformation of the world; and | afterwards exhibited a disgram, with all his principles Jnid down with mathematical precision, and which look- | ed very well on paper. | fy Mr. Cor.sws then proposed to have a committee ap- | pointed, to whom should be referred all the various | plans for the reformation of the world, whose duty it would be to report on those they deemed most fe: le. Mr | erences then laid down on his plan, which was, thet every man who sits in this room should lat and upon his heart and go forth doing ax he would be d rules of conduct whether | done hy, reject all creed derived from the Christian, Jewish, or any other dispen- | jon which would require us to ‘kill our neighbor for | the love of God, and to accomplish this objact he moved | that the convention adjourn sivedie.

Mr Cotnins said, that every man’s plan should be treated with forbearance; it shows his weakness for him to present a crnde plan, but he was entitled to be heard ; he (Mr R.) had peculiar views and he claim- ed the right to present them Mr. Hay then got up and presented his plan for the ating of all the cvila which humanity is inflicted urising from the present depraved state of society; ¢ most scientific document yet submitted to the Lconvention, exhibiting the most thorough knowlege of humon. nature in all its phases and the profoundest ro- | ;Search—it is complete in itself, defying condensa ion or | ‘absidgment without *poring its symmetry. and we will, tnereiure, give it in full, verbatim literatim et spellatim, ond ouly vemark that the problem is at last solved, the worl can he regenerated and Mr Hay is the man to do it. | During the reading of there resolutions the sticklers for present forms were uncourteous enough to laugh at each tly to the mortification of Mr. Hay, self, could not see what the d—i they were amused so much abou!

Sieele. itis shown by the evidence that twelve or fifteen guns were discharged by persous present; noue by the shenif or those withhim. A murder is conceded—it was commit- ted. The great question for you to consider is, 13 the risoner legully responsible foi this murder. ‘The Judge hore read the defiuition of murder trom the statute, aud briefly commented on it. It all assembled at Karle’s were engaged in the commission of a felony, all were guilty of murder, whether they fired or not, under the third subdivision of the statute. if there is proot that the prisoner went to Karle’s with a premeditaied design to kill Steele, he is ulso guilty of murder under the first subdivision of the statute. 1 oughtto premise by saying that if he went there with others,who had formed this de- sign, he is equally guilty with them. The Judge now read the second subdivision of the statute, aud remurked, if a person was to fire iuto that crowd, and killed some one, thou gh without premeditated design, it would be murder. It is for you, (the jury) to say it comes under is subdivision. ‘The proof is that the prisoner wentto arle’s ith Indians disguised and armed, who shot Steele; and you will remember that if the murder was committed even without premeditated design, by a large body of men engaged in the commission ot @ felony, uli are guilty though they did not fire. I'he question is,were these men engaged inthe commission uf atelony? li they were, it Was murder. If, on she other haud, tue as- sembling was only a misdemeanot, then it is manslaugh rin the first degree. ‘There has been much discussiva on this subject among counsel, and it has been dened ‘that the act of January made assembling, disguised aud armed, atelony. Juoge Parker now read from the 7th tion of the uct of 1945. This section provides that all persons assembling disguised and armed alter the pas sage of the act, shail he punishable by five, imprison- meut in the county juilor State prison tor two years, at the discretion of the court. He then read trom the Re- vised Statutes in relation to felony. ‘ The term felony, when used in this act or in anyother statute,shall be con: ' strued to mean an offence fur which the offeuder, op con- viction, shall be liable by law to be punished by death, orby imprisonment ina State prison.” It is important, continued the judge,that the question should be defiuite- lyseitled whether the men ateurle’s were eugaged in the comnuttal of a moby ora misdemeanor, it may control the whole case. It is claimed by defendant’s counsel that it is not necessarily a felony under the late law, because a prisoner shall be punished in State Prison. It is not, lowarert that the guilty shall be punished in State Prn- son, but that they ure liuble to be so punished, which makes itatelony. The act, therefore, passed January, 1845, decl-ring persons assembling disguised and armeu, liable to punisimen: in Stute Prison, makes ita felouy There are many nalogous, Manslaughter in the fourth degree is felony, although punishable by impri- sonment in the county jail, fiue or State Prisun. It as my duty to advise clearly and explicitly as to the law, for prisoners’ benefit hereatter. 11 there is any error iu construing the law, there may be an appeal to a higher tribunal. ‘It isthe duty of the Court to charge you ou the law, though, as I betore remarked, you are the judges of the law as well as the fact—but you cannot al ter the law—you are under obligations to pronounce the law as itis—you did not make it, and you cannot alter it by your verdict~you are not responsible for it. ‘The statute defiuing the crime of murder differs somewhat from the common la’ Cases that were then murder By the statute, misdemeanor, perons engaged where doaw takes place, are guilty of manstughter—by the common Jaw they were guilty of murder. Iv | this case Jet me call your uttention to the facts and see how the law ies. Is the prisoner re- sponsible for murder under any of the subdivisions of the statute relating to murder? It is claimed by tue counsel for the people that all disguised and arnied at Earle’s on the 7th of August, were engaged in @ telouy and if arrested and tried, tagugh 10 murder was Comuut- ted, liable to punishment in the State prison. [1 the pre soner was there ecting With others disguised and a meo when Steele was killed, he is guilty ot murder. It is al- leged that the prisoner fired his gun upon this occasion It is important to ascertain if this is the fact. The court here reviewed the testimony on this point, and continu ed: Itis said by counsel for prisoner, that this evidence isto be looked upon with suspicion, as those who gave it have been engaged in the commission of crimes, &c You are the judges, and must decide whether this testi: mony is conclusi The Judge here alluded to what was said by Wm. Reside, in relation to prisoner haviug discharged his gun at Davis’ Spring. It 1s important fo: ou to oxamiue this, for it is very important to kuow Whether the prisoner fired at the sale The Judge tien reviewed the attempt to impeach witnesses. You musi judge of all this evideuce. A good deal has been said by counsel about many indicted for murder, and equally guilty with the prisoner, having been allowed to put in a plea of guilty of ‘manslaughter; but this is one of the extraneous matters that you have nothing to do with—it has nothing to do with the case, Appeal: have been made to you for mercy. [tis undouttedly true that in such cases as this, mercy should be shows but it belongs to the Court, and not to the jury bux You must try this cause according to the law aid evi- dence, as itis, or you do potdischarge your duty, You have sworn todo so—you ure bound by solemn obliga tions to regard the law and the evidence, regardless o! prejudice or uncalled for sympathy, You should avow all considerations of this Kind, brought up by ingeniou counsel. I leave the case with you, gentlemen, under the jaw and facts, es they exist. if this is murder, you may find it under some one of the sub-divisions cf the statute.

Wolfe, arrived yesterday morning from Rio de Je- | neiro, in one of her usual quick passages. | She sailed from Rio on the 28th of August, touch- | edat Pernambuco on the 6th of September, and brings advices from Buenos Ayres to the Sthof August, inclusive Among the passengers in the Courier are the Hon. Alexander H. Everett, our Minister to China, _ returned on account of ill health, and Amoy Ed- | wards, Esq.,late American Consul at Buenos Ayres and bearer of despatches to our Government and the Argentine Minister. It is said that Mr. Ed- wards returns to this country asa sort of special agent from Gen. Rosas, of the Argentine Republic, to enlist the American government and people in his cause ogainst the Banda-Orientalists and the French and English, who have impudently interfer- ed in the affairs of the southern republics. There is very little doubt of the intentions and tendency of the existing Argentine government in the present war against Montevideo, and were Rosas to be successful, he would next turn his attention to Brazil. It is his policy to subvert the government of that empire, and to bring the whole of that vast country under his administration. It is in conse- quence of this that Brazil keeps a large fleet in readi- ness to act in case of emergency. The Journal de Commercio of Rio, of August 28, contains advices from Montevideo to the 17th. On the 2d, Admiral Brown, commander of the Argen- tine squadron, made sail for Buenos Ayres, but the French and English opened their fire upon him and compelled him to come again to anchor. In the afternoon of the same day the whole Argentine | squadron was captured by the French and English | and brought into the harbor of Montevideo ; 1t con- sisted of two brigs, a sloo»-of-war and two schoon- ers, mounting in all 61 guns. No military movement had taken_place on the land side. On the Ilth of August General Oribe opened the Legislative Chambers in due form, out- side the walls of Montevideo, having assembled the deputies of 1838 The Montevideo National of August 13, says that a vessel from Buenos Ayres had brought informa- tien that Rosas had called a meeting of the citizens, to be held on the 12th, in the plaza, at which they were to determine whether there should be peace or war. At Montevideo the British and French command- ers were fitting out a flotilla of small vessels, des- tined, it was said, to attack the island of Martin Garcia. On the 21st of August, im the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies, notice was given of a series of ques- tions which would be put to the Ministers, requiring explicit information concerning the relations be- tween the Brazilian Government, that of Argentine, and thst of the Oriertal Republic. Also to what extent the Brazilian Government had taken part in or assented to the operations of the French and British naval forces in the La Plata. A report being current at Rio that the Brazilian naval commander in the La Plata had acceded to the request of the English and French command- ers, that he would unite with them in forcible mea- sures to compel the Argentine forces under Oribe to | withdraw from betore Montevideo, the Journal takes upon itself to say that the report is unfounded, and that the Brazilian squadron would not deviate from a course of strict neutrality. The Journal of the 21st contains various official papers, issued at Montevideo; among them are, a | joint declaration from the French and British Min- | isters, Baren Deffaudis and Mr. Ouseley, that their mission and purpose were simply to ensure. the per- fect independence of the Oriental Republic, unac- companied by any idea of invasion or acquisition of territory ; and a notification that the port of Buseo | was bluckaded from the Ist of August, neutral ves- sels being allowed until the 12th to withdraw. The British and French commanders had landed a thousand troops, with orders to attack Oribe if he committed any hostile act against the city of Mon- tevideo. There is nothing later of any importance trom Buenos Ayres. The English and French Minixters had received their passports, and gone to Monte- video. The American Hees Raritan, and brig of war Bainbridge, was at Rio on the 28th, the latter to leave on the 29th for Montevideo There had been serious mutiny on, board the | whaler Oscar, Capt. Ludlow. The Cajffain shot the ogleader, and put three of his companions in irons, and arrived at Rio on the 27th of August {From Buenos Ayres Packet, Aug. As this week has been one in which very important events were expected to take place, we have waited till the last moment in order to be able to give our readers abroad every possible information in regard to the pre- sent posture of affairs. All we can state is, that the Envoys of England and France, obeying, no doubt, in- structions framed on the assumption’ of a far different te of things than that which actually exists in the Rio de la Plata, made certain demands of the Argentine Gov- ernment, Which the Litter justly considering offensive to the rights and dignity of an independent nation, very properly declined to comply with. In consequence of this refusal, the Ministers requested their passports, which having been forwarded to them, they embarked yesterday for Montevideo. However, it appears that this withdraw ‘al of their Excellencies does not involve an interruption of diplomatic intercourse, as it is understood that M. Marueil continues in his character of Charge Affaires of France, and that Mr. Ball remains in charge ofthe British Legation. In our next publication, we shall probably be enabled to speak more fully. In the meantime itit gratifying to observe that the alarm crea. ted ai ong the British residents by Capt.

The markets for our principal staples were in avery healthy state, and the London money market was abundantly supplied with capital, seekirg employment ata very low rate of interest. In relation to the harvest, the accounts vary but little from those re ceived by the last steamer. There had been an unfavor} able change in the weather, but as the bulk of the crops had been gathered, there had been but little change in thecorn markets. The potatoe crop throughout Eu- rope will be a failure, as well as in this country, which must have, as the season advances, a great influence upon the consumption and price of grain. The partial | failure of the harvests of Great Britain has turned the attention of dealers in that country to the crops of this, and considerable anxiety was manifested as to the result of our harvests.

The books of subscription to the stock of the Oswego end Syracuse Railroud Compeny, will be opened for subscription to the balance of the stock, $150,000, on Saturday and Monday, the 4th and 6th of October, at Howard’s Hotel. The capital stock of the company is $350,000, of which $200,000 have been subscribed. The line of road will be thirty-six miles long, and it is esti- mated that it can be built for $10,000 per mile, which, if not exceeded, will make it the cheapest road in the country. Our capitalists and business men are deeply interested in the completion of this road, and it is highly necessary that the stock should be secured in this city, and not let the books be opened in Boston. This road will offset any attempt to draw the western trade from this city by the Ogdensburg and Champlain Railroad + us a railrodd communication from tide water to the Lal of only 190 miles, instead of about 400 miles, the present distance. Oswego is rapidly in- creasing its commerce, and, as a Lake port, will very soon rark among the largest; favorably located nearly at the head of Lake navigation, it must command a very large part of the carrying trade of the Lakes, particu, larly after a railroad connection is made with Syra- cuse and the line of western railroads. The reduced cost of the road must make it » good investment for the capital expended. ‘There perhaps, never was @ movement, rather too spe- culative we must confess, in its character—within the commercial history of Great Britain,whichwas anything like so general as the present movement in railways. Capitalists of every denomination,and members of neatly every elass of people in the United Kingdom, are en gaged io these speculations, and their only prospect of success rests in the speedy completion of the projects they have token in hand. This excitement is not con. fined to Great Britain, but has spread over the whole continent, and is rapidly spreading over this country. ‘The immense capital alresdy invested in railroeds in Great Brits and the anxiety to increase the invest- ment so rapi is looked upon by the alarmist as the most positive evidence of a panic in the money market and in commercial affairs generally. Panics or revul- sions in the whole commercial system of any country have not been brought about by the reverses which have overtaken or may overtake any particular trade or class of men in the country. When any single branch o¢ business becomes inflated, and speculation ranges very high in that alone, there is very little danger of a general panic in the market, or a general break down in the commercial community. Of all species of speculations, we look upon the railroad speculation as being the mos, beneficial to the country at large, and attended with less danger to the mercantile classes than any other. It absorbs capital, thereby restricting and checking other speculative movements, and the construction of the roads draw out the resources of the country, and deve. lope the elements of trade more rapidly than any other thing. Our object is to prevent speculation as much as possible in the articles of trade and commerce; and so long us we keep these things in their proper channels, a0 long as the supply desired ia governed principally by the wants for consumption, there is very little dange of the currency becoming expanded, or prices inflated So long as the currency continues contracted, and the operations of the banks confined toa proper limit, a very great speculative movement cannot arise, or the laws of trade become much deranged; and we do not look upon railway speculations as being likely to produce any of these evils. During a period of the wost extensive speculsticn this country ever experienced, the people of New England invested millions of dollars in railroads, and we are dis- posed to believe that it was the drain of capital from many of those who became at that time interested in these works, that prevented the various speculative movements of the day from spreading the ruin and deso- lation in that section which fell upon every other portion of the land. ‘The large investments in the roads then in a state of completion, contracted the resources of those interested, and prevented their engaging in the specula tive bubbles of the day, which soon after exploded, leaving buta wreck behind. ‘The railroad speculation of that period was looked upon as the snail in the fable, the moral of which has, however, been fully exempli- fied. The railroad speculation of the present day will, without doubt, be even more beueficial in its effects than the last, as it has become more general, and must operate as agrester check upon any expansion in commercial «fairs. The immense cost of the railroads of Great Bri- | tain has required a much greater expenditure in propor~ tion to the length of road constructed, than in this coun- try. It willhardly be credited that two roads, leading rom the centre of London, in length only three and three-quarter miles, cost about $11,000,000. The Lon- don aud Blackwall, £1,289,080, and the London and Greenwich, £1,026,10, or over $1,500,000 per mile. These two roads, constructed at this enormous expense, entera city having a population only about five tim larger than that of this city, and pay handsome dividends while New York has a railroad running the entire length of the island, about nine miles long, and costing for the whole line no more than one mile of the London and Blackwall railway, that has never yet paid a divi; dend, The railroads throughout Great Britain cost about three times as much per mile as those of this country, and are kept in running operation at nearly three times the expense, notwithstanding which they pay a better average rate of dividend than those of the United States.
