ee TN LLNS I = OE ET 1 Ruecell is now threatened. We may just remark tha’ we consider it highly mmprobable that the Court will admit this evidence. It appears to us to be illegal; still the docurfients may, and, we thuok, should, be read and commen: d upon in the | statements of counsel. They will be tendered, | moreover, as evidence, and, though objected to, | successfully, b and succetmcnad than dirmmaiched by. their tech- nical suppression. These letters, and the doctrine which Lord John Russell is said to promulgate, in one of his works on the constitution, namely, that ‘it 18 sufficient to justify the movers of an | inc urrection that people are weary with suffering, and view with complacency a change of rule,” will | surely prove, even toa Tipperary jury, that my | Lord Russell is, atter all, an aider and an abettor | of treason and sedition, by * open and advised | speaking.

More business had been transacted, and prices for most descriptions of stocks “were advancing. Trade in general hada reviving appearance. i- Theatrical and Musical, Park Turatre.—The announcement that last eve- ning was the last time on which the new ballet of “ Esmeralda” would be performed at the Park Theatre, caused the house to be most fully attended. Although this ballet has beem performed a great number of times, it still is as popular as ever, and the graceful Monpiaisic troupe must be well satisfied with the great favor with which the public have regarded their efforts in this piece, at the Park. Seldom has a ballet been got up more completely and splendidly; the dancers, tabléaux, and general airangement, have been perfect, and whenever, hereafter, the Monplaisir troupe wish to draw a fll houre, they will only have to announce the balict of the “ Esmeralda.” With such a magnifi cent house, such a first rate company, and the well known enterprise and tact of the present proprietor, there is no such wordas fail at the Park; and we are quite safe in predicting that the successful issue of the present ballet reason is but a foreshadowing of the continued good fortune which will hereafter attend Old Drury. To night. Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert will make their first appearance since their return from Europe, in the comedy of “The Rivals;”’ and the laughable farce of “ Turning the Tables’ will vonclude the per- formances. Broapway Tura -The two popular pieces of the “ Irish Attorney,” and the “ Happy Man.” were prerented last evening, Mr. Collins sustaining the principal parts, Ilis Galway Attorney, of sixty years ago, is no caricature, such as we have seen presented by other Irish comedians. It was perfect both in con- ception and acting, and was received with rapturous applause by the audience. The drunken scene was really adumirable, and had but one drawback. It was marred by the very indifferent acting of those cast for the subordinate parte. With the exception of Mr. Andrews there was really no support rendered Mr. Why is this? To-night, on the cccation of his benefit, he appezrs in three characters; Sir Patrick O'Plenipo in the “Irish Ambassador,” Dennis McCarthy in the “ Wrong Passenger,” and Teddy Malswney in “ Teddy the Tiler.”” These pieves are well cast, and present unusual attraction. Mr. Collins sings ten or twelve songs, and he will be sup- ported by Vache, Andrews, Miss Wallack, Mrs. Abbott, and Mrs. Watts. There will likewise be dancing by Mille Celeste and Mons. Wiethoff. There will, of course, be a crowded house. Brrron’s Tuearre.—‘Dombey and Son,” the most entertaining and most affecting piece we ever saw, was performed last night toa crowded house. Never was there brought forward a more beautiful drama, | and never was such a lovely piece better performed. It is a very remarkable play. it has this about it, which few have—there is not a single character intro- duced which is not highly entertaining, effective, and absolutely necessary, E ery scene is picture of real hfe and manners, suchasexistin England; and every scene tells, producing an indescribable effect upon every spectator. We saw many vainly endeavoring to conceal tbe tears which flowed involuntarily at several passages, especially when Capt. Cuttle (Mr Bur:on) breaks to Florence (Mrs. Loder) the escape of Waiter, (Mr. Grace.) Mr. Burton played the frank old honest | failor to the life. Mr. Burton was called out by loud acclamation, when the curtain fell. He appeared, was greeted with thunders of applause, (so also was Mr. Kaymond,) and announced the piece again for this even ing, amid loud cheers. Mn. Macreapy —This eminent tragedian, who, afte an absence of several years, has just returned to thier | country, bas been engaged by Mr. Niblo, and will appear at the Astor Place Opera House, on Wednesday evening next, in afavorite part. The great celebrity most finished and artistic tragedians of the age, will, ance. He isto be supported by a talented company among whom we learn are to be reckoned Miss Cramer, Mr. Ryder, and others ot nvte. The Astor Place Opera House will, of course, be crowded next’ Cuatnam Thratne,—This house, as usual, was crowded in every department; and the three pieces which were played. passed off with the groatest éclat. ‘The first drama, “ Therese, or the Orphan of Geneva,” was ably sustained throughout, Chanfrau_personating the character of Carwin in an imirable manner. We have already noticed the respective characters of this local drama, and have only to repeat that the en- ce was received with enthusiastic cheers. El Jaleo de Xeres,” was given with much grace and agility. Tho performances closed with the farce of the “ Spectre Bridegroom,” in which Burke, one of the best low comedians, kept the house in roars of laughter. Chanfrau, by his good management, is receiving patronage commensurate with his exertions to please the patrons of the national theatre.

The Foreign News.—The Contents of this Da; Herald. We are crowded with news of various kinds. The foreign intelligence brought by the America— he particulars of the murder in Leonard street— the report of the proceedings at the Mariners» Church, on the presentation of the freedom of the city to Frederick Jerome, &e., &c. &c., fill our columns to-day. To make room for the above we are obliged, of course, to leave out a great dea’ of interesting matter, including the speech o¢ Leslie Combs at Vauxhall Garden last night. ‘The news from Europe is of the firstimportance. The outbreaks in Ireland, caused by starvation, will attractattention. They indicate the condition of that unfortunate country, and are, probably, but a beginning of the food nots that are to mari its history for the next six months, or more. These riots may lead to something of the greatest conse- quence to the freedom of Ireland. See intelligence “to the latest moment.” Our advices from the continent of Europe are not very encouraging. Affuirs there have a threat” ening aspect The finan advices from Europe by this arn val are of very little importance, and do not vary materially from those previously received. Con- sols had slightly advanced, and the Bank of Eng- land had increased its bullion asmall amount, and reduced its circulation. The demand for money fiom the commercial classes was moderate, and the rates of interest ranged from two and a halfto three per cent. We find nothing in the London papers relative to the movements of Mr. Corcoran, and know nothing yet regarding the re” sultof his mission. Commercially, the accounts are a little more favorable than those received by the Acadia. Cotton was pot in active demand neither had there been any improvement in prices; but there had been quite an advance in [adian corn. Breadstufis generally were dull, and prices somewhat depressed ; but the prospect of an ex- tensive demand for Indian corn aaa Indian meal was good, anda further improvement in’ prices was pretty generally admitted. The potatoe crop will be largely deficient, and nothing will supply the place of that root as well as Indian corn. The news will give an impetus to ehipments of thisgrain, and as it 18 an article we have in great abundance, it is fortunate for the producers that the question as to foreign wants is settled so early in the sea- son. + Our correspondence is full ;—we shall begin its publication in to-morrow’s He ald. ‘The Murder Cas In the care of John §, Austin, who stands charged with shooting Timothy Shea, on ‘Thursday night, pjuries, was given to the jury at half-pust six o'clock, the testimoney of which we give in another column; and at balf-past two o'clock this morning they lad not agreed upon a verdict, the jury standing ten for a verdict that the deceased came to his death by a gun- shot wound infiieted by John §.

Tue Eriscoray Coxvention.—This body closed its deliberations ata late hourlast evening. It had been | expected that protracted debates would have arisen on several important topics, such as Bishop Onderdonk’s case and the St. Philips’ (colored) church case. But the expedition with which the business of the house was accomplished, brought their labors to a close after asession of only three days. On the Important sub- | ject erate, og qualifications of lay members of conventions, Dr. Vinton’s resolution finally prevailed, by a considerable majority, so that if the present ac- tion is approved by the next convention, no lay dele- | Bates can be admitted thereafter, except such as are actually communicants in the church. In reference to the case of Bishop Onderdonk, it was, after considerable debate, resolved that the trustees of the by pence Fund be directed to pay to the Right Rev. Bishop T. Onderdonk, D. D., out of the income of the said fund, (excepting the portion set apart for ue- | cumulation.) the sum of $2,500 annually, until the | further orde= of this convention; to take effect from the first day of the sitting of this body. Rev. Dr. Suxnwoon, of Hyde Park, offered a resolu- tion to the effect that the diocese of N. Y, call upon the House of Bishops to terminate the suspension of Bishop O., cr it they were not ready to do this, asking them to state when they would terminate enid suspens sion. This created some little stir, but was finally re- ferred to the next convention, anu after the usual ex- ercises the convention adjourned, sine die, The Murder of Timothy Shea, in Li Street—The Coroners Invertigauene The coroner, yesterday, about 2 o'clock, assembied a Jury in order to hold the inquest on the body of Timo- thy Shea, who was shot the night previous, while in an ber aig Pale rt — i yr is No, 66 Leonard street, who #1 arged Ww: c! rhere- By Shen lost his life, Ens DA piel Wi ‘The following gentlemen were sworn on the jury Samuel Scoye, tailor, corner of Broadway White street; O.

Mr. Hatton never san; better than he did on this occasion, and his peculiar style was universally appreciated, As it was announced by the bills, the 4éné,iciaire introduced several of the erlebrated old rea sengs of Dibdin, and some of the clarticn! piano forte nausic of the great German com- porer Mendelrsobm, and this way mingling the “funny” with the «,erlous,” was imdeed very pleasing. The “ Little Bat Man” which Mr. Hat- ton singe with such wit and humor, was received with great laughter, and the prilude fugue of the great marstro was much admired.

Agiceably to arrangement, the ceremony of the presentation of the freedom of the city, in a gold box, to Frederick Jerome, took place last night, at the Ma. riners’ Chur@h, in Rosevelt street. Long before the appointed hour the house was filled in every part, and many were unable to getin. At hbalf-past eeven o'clock Alderman De Forrest an- nounced his Honor Mayor Havemeyer as chairman of the meeting. Prayer was then offered by the Rev. Mr. Chase. ‘The Cnainaan then briefly stated the object of the astemblage, and adverted to the daring feats of Jerome, both in the burning of the Ocean Monarch, and the stranding of the ship Henry Clay, in rescuing from the wrecks so many; who, but for his exertions. must have perished. He then announced that Morris Franklin Erq would make the presentation, Mr. Monnis Franxiin therefore rose and said :— The Common Council of the city of New York have heerd with feelings of deep interest and admiration ef the beroic cou £, and neble bravery of Frederick Jerome, one of the irdy sons of the ocean, in rescu- ing from impending deuth fifleen helpless women and dbildren, upon the occesion of the awfal calamity which befel the Ocean Monarch, on the starting of thet ehiy from Liverpool to this country, by which, almost within sight of their homes, but with their faces directed towards this western world, in the fond hope that here they would arrive in safety and real- ize the rummit of their ambition, one hundred and reventy-three human beings, men, women, and chil- dren. were, by the Sapensa as of Providence, sud- cenly called into eternity by the destruction of that ill-fated veesel, and but your timely and well-di- rected exertions, others would have been it away to swell the number of the lamented dead. Onthe 2th day of August, 1648, the noble vessel tailed from Liverpool, freighted with a valuable cargo, and baving on board three hundred and ninety-six souls, with every prospect of a short and pleasant voyage; but, alas! delusive hope! for hardly had the canvass kiseed the breeze which filled her swelling sails, and sent her bounding on her western course, and while the eyes of her passengers* still linger e upon their own green hills. which many of them had lett forever, before the appalling sound was heard,the ship's on fire!” and almost with the rapidity of thovght, the burning element swept from stem to stern, while spars and masts, wrapt one by one in the living thame, fell, crushing in their descent the shriek- ing marees upon the deck, while others, in the phren- zy of the mement, vainly sought safety in the waver, andiound o gr the green sea weed which flouriehed there, and where, in the touching language of the tailor-boy’s bard, “On beds of green sa flowers their forms shall Le Inid, Around their white tones the red coral shall grow, OF thetr tir yellow locke threads of amber he made, And every part suit to their mansion below.” |, must have been the scene, in which male men, women and children, were seen rush- part of the veseel to the other, and asthe welcomed him in, and ecemed to be acquainted with the wan; I sang a song while the stranger was room; he was asked to drink; | think drank; I’ cannot that there was any elling with the stranger; after a while, throes or jour more persons came into the basement; | cannot ray how they were dressed; as soon a3 head got into the Lasement, the row commenced; tumblers were thrown at them; @ bottle was also thrown; I did not fee avy perron bave a knife; I did not see any person struck with a chair; [ heard the report of the pistol; I con hardly say whether I was in the bacement or outside of the door; I was very near the pistol; the deceared and his brother were standing close by mo; after the pistol was fired, the brother of the decease cried out “ He is dead—he is dead!” Leaw a man standitg outside of the basement door; I think it was the mou that hed the pistol—I may be mistaken; | think the man that fired the pistel was fre or six yards fiom me; | would not know him if [should see him again; the man that stood outeide the door with the pittol in hes hand was not the man that came into the bouse first: I cannot say whether the man that had the pistol bad a white or # black hat on. bis PETER *% ROBINSON, mark. ark, Parnick Snva, residing at 66 Leonard etrect, being sworn, says that he is a son of John Shea, who keeps the porter house at said place, and brother of the de- ceared; he is 23 years old; last night between ? and 10 o'clock, a man witha white bat on, came into the barement siene eed teat @renton a barrel of char- cow); roe him if he would not take» teut om 8 chair, he said be thought » sat on charcoal ‘Wan goo a) jim; the deceased then said that they were goipgto baye @ song; the men with the flemes forced them from the stern, crowding together in the forepuit of the burning ship, where, in their maddered despair, women threw themselves overboard with their offspring in their arms, and sunk to rise no more; men followed their wives and children in the phrenzy of the moment, and were lost; groups of etery Claes, frantic mothers, and helpless children, rent the air with the most terrific soreams of horror and dirmay. Ina few minutes, the mizenmast wont overboard; the mainmast shared the same fate, the toremast yet remained. But as the fire forced its way to the fore part of the vessel, the passengers and crew crowded closer together, in the hope that relief would Jet arrive to eave them from an eran death; to the Jibbocm they clung in the agony of despair, and there piled one upon the other, not knowing what to do or where to flee for enceor, waited the approach of death, which seemed to them inevitable, At length the fore: mart fell, snapping the fastnings of the jibboom, which, with its toad of human beings dr ypped into the water, amidst the screams of the drowning victims, and of thore who lingered upon tho burning wreck. on to follow in their downward course.

When the Honry Clay was stranded upon the shoals of Barnegat, = formed one of the crew of tbat noble vessel, and he to whom I havo before referred as one of the officers of the Ocean Monarch, was acting as her second m beg that occasion, he, with four others and yourself, undertook the hazardous experiment of conveying @ line to the thore over the rolling surf which threatened ¥ engulph the stoutert yawl; and so, indeed, {t did, for the fury of the waves was too great for the frail boat long to live, and she was finally swamped, and four of your companions pe- rithed, But you, and the Sndividual who was after- wards the second mate of the Oceam Monarch, were, through the mercy of an overruling Providenes, pro- served for future usefulness, and reached the ship in safety. After an exposure such as this, an ordinary mind would have shrank from any further attempt to accomplish so bold and daring an act; but little did they know the firm, determined purpose which con- trolled your actiovs and urged you forward in the path of duty, who believed for 4 moment that while a ray of hope remained to rescue from destruction your fellow men, thet dangers would prevent, or difienitivs. how- ever grert, fail to be encountered, to attain that object. There are reflections connected with these circums- tances, which ought to make a deep, lasting, impres- sion upon the hearts of those, whose duties call them. upon the mighty deep, and who are peculiarly oxposed. every mement of their lives to share the fate of those who sunkand perished with the Ocean Monarch, but itis not my place to enforce the moral or to enlarge: upon the train of thought, which naturally rushes upon the mind in the contemplation of the subjeot. Mine is a more humble, but not more pleasing theme, for 1am the instrument of the representatives of the people of the first commercial city of this Westera world, to tender to you their most grathtul thanks, for the valuable services which you have rendered to the cause of humenity, and to commend * and your family, to the care and protection of that Providence, “who guides the whirlwind and directs the storm,’ and as an evidedce of our sincirity, to udopt you ae one cfour citizens, and enrole your nanie upon the catalogue sf those who have distinguised themeelves. ior deeds of valer, philanthropy, and benevo- lence.

Gentlemen—I am requested by my brother, only an humble sailor, foremast hend on board the ship New World, Capt. Knight of New York; to make for him a reply to the address that hus just been made tohim by the distinguished chairman of able notice that has been here takenof him. It is £0 unusual an occurrence fer an unfettered sailor to be brought into public notoriety, and to receive from such a body as the honorable corporation of the first commercial city in Ameri notice of his services, that he feels utterly unable to make answer for him- self. If he were able in other respects, he feels too’ much overwhelmed by the publicity into which his ef- forts in the cause of humanity have been this evening brought, and the unwonted position in which he finds himself, to express himself in a fit- ting manner. The forecastle, and the shrouds, and the yard-arms of a ship, are but a poor school in which to make an orator; altbough they not seldom make a man, and an honest and well meaning one, too.
