Tho Functions of Juries. It is conceded on all sides, that trial by jury is one of the dearest and most important privi- leges that we enjoy; it is the glorious chara teristic of freedom—the bulwark of the con- stitution, and the palladium of our rights and liberties. When this noble and time-honored institution was first founded, those pure-minded men by whore public virtue and worth the majestic superstructure was raised—having for its basis, stern and impartial justice—did not suppose that in after times so many attempts would be made to derogate from its value, to invade its sanctity, and to defeat the object which they, its illustrious founders, had in view. We need not recapitulate the opinion of Blackstone, who was the greatest judge that ever sat upon the English bench, for the purpose of showing the estimate which he had set upon trial by jury; nor need we refer to the great act which was consummuted on the plains of Run- neymede, where the barons compelled a heartless, cruel, and wicked king to ratify their desires. All understand and appreciate the great blessings which flow from the institution in question, and they are ready to uphold it in all its usefulness, in- tegrity, and incorruptibility. Sometimes juries will arrive at conclusions in opposition—conscientious opposition—to the in- structions of judges ; and when they do, some ap- plaud, and others condemn them ; some call it ar- rogance, und the usurpation of a right that does not belong to them—while others, whose opinions are of equal weight and influence, say that itis a virtuous anda conscientious discharge of the sa- cred responsibility which attaches to the office of a juror, who, for the time being, takes upon him- self the dignity of the constitutien. A day or two ago, at the General Sessions, the jury returnedy a verdict of guilty against a man named Jackson, contrary to the instructions of the learned Re- corder. Now, whatever legal doubts there may be as to the finding of the jury, there was no moral doubt whatever as to the guilt of the accused, and, there- fore, none as to the righteousness of the verdict. But, said the learned gentleman, whose defence of the accused was marked by great ability, it is bet- ter that a hundred guilty men should escape than that one man should be found guilty not according tolaw. We do not hold with the philosophy of this reasoning—it may be legally right, but it is morally wrong. He said that the jury had set themselves up as the oracles of the law, and in a brief but neat speech, he poured forth some vir- tuous indignation at the course which the jury had deemed it their duty to pursue. This was perfectly fair, because an advocate is bound to use every effort for the benefit of his client. But then came the Assistant District Attorney ; and what did he say? Why that the jury had not differed from the court on a question of law, but on a question of fact, of which the constitution, the law, and their own consciences, made them the judges; and he farther said that they had acted as faithful guar- dians of the public interests, and that twelve more honorable men hud never sat ina jury box. This 1s an answer to the question as to the legality of the conviction. The city is infested with such men as the accused ; they are, in all directions, ready to pounce upon the unwary, and to make them the victims of their nefarious mode of ob- taining a living. The most outrageous depreda- tions have been committed in this way; and it is high time thatthe strong arm of the law should cut short the career of the base and unprincipled persons who are guilty of them. Many a scoun- drel has escaped upon a mere technicality, who deserved the most condign punishment. Some years ago, a monster in hun shape was tried at the Old Bailey in London, for the murder of his own child ; but the miscreant escaped the punish ment of an earthly tribunal, because there was an error in the indictment as to the Christian name o the child! The error was discovered by the dex- terity of the prisoner’s counsel. We think that, under all the circumstances, the verdict of the jury in this case was a most correct one ; and we hope the day 1s not far distant when common sense, and the requirements of justice, will be regarded by juries in general as the only grounds upon which their verdicts should be pro- nounced. We trust that this verdict will prove a warning to the evil-disposed, and, in particular, to the fellows who have been doing so large a trade in the watch line, to the ruin of those who have had the misfortune to be caught in their trap, and who have found out, by dearly purchased experience, that “ it is not all gold that glitters.” Axnivat ov rug Sreamsmip Texvessnr.—The steamship Tennessee, Capt. Collins, arrived yester- day morning from Savannah, bringing us papers two days ahead of the mail, for which we are indebted to Capt. C., and to the offices of the Savannah Re pwbhcan and Georgian. Tue Srramsuir Saran Saxps, Captain Thomp- son, was to have left Liverpool on the 20th ult. She may arrive here before we get the news by the Cunard steamer. An em! has been placod upon the exportation of grain from Prince Edward's Island, N. 9.,in conse. quence of ite great soarcity, Fiang-vr in THe Enaiisn Cuvrcn.—The Chureh of England, ‘as by law established,” is evidently in an extraordinary, and we might add, anomalous cendition, Since the publication of the celebrated Oxford tracts—and especially tract No. 9)—a reac- tion has taken place inthe public mind, and the church has verged downwards in a rapid degree. ‘The shock, however, which it sustained by those publications, accompanied as it has been and is, hourly, to this duy, by secession after secession, of many of its brightest and most learned men, was not so great as that which it is destined to receive by the publieation of an extraordinary work by one of its own ministers, the Rey. Mr. Allies. We have not yet seen this work; but from the comments paseed upon it by the English press in the chureh interest, we have no doubt that it will raise a greater commotion than even the Oxford tracts did.— ‘We have perused a few extracts from it, which we give, with comments. Mr. Allies, the author, says:—“I am quite con- vinced that the re-union of the English Church with the Church of Rome, would be an incalcula- ble blessing to the whole church of God, and to the whole human rac Gracious Heavens, what an admiseion! and coming, too, from one of the minis- ters of the Church of England, in England, and still preaching from the pulpit of the established church ! In another part of this extraordinary work, Mr. ‘Allies, in speaking of a missionary college at Paris, says that in one of the rooms is a quantity of relics, &c. “ The young missionaries,” he says, ‘‘ make a visit here every evening, and pray before these re- lics of their brethren, soliciting their intercession— a fitting preparation, I thought, for so difficult a task.” Here is Popery or Romanism in its worst phase, and in a light as hostile as it possibly could be to the teachings of the church by law establish- ed. And yet these are the words of a minister of that church ! From these and other indications of the signs of the times, it is obvious that a revolution is at work in the English Church. Such sentiments not many years ago, would have sent their author to the stake. We would not be at all surprised to live to see the Church of England completely upturned, and a majority of its votaries return to the bosom of the Church of Rome. Whether such an event is desirable, or not, is a question which we shall leave to the disputants of both sides. We are satisfied with chronicling the signs of the times. Tue Snaxens.—A curious document is before ‘us. It is “ The Report of the Select Committee on the Subject of the Shakers.” This committee was raised to consider upon the propriety of repealing a law of this State,by which the Society in this State is permitted to hold in trust property not exceeding $5,000 in annual value. Charges were made, by petitions against the Society, that this law enabled them to unite in a dangerous monopoly of the lands of this State; that they corrupted the children in their schools, and were a dangerous people, &c. The committee, in its report, says :— On examining the schools at Watervilet, a mode! worthy the imitation of the best society was presented; # full and excellent library of the most approved books: was found; and a thorough education for the business man ia there imparted, by teachers competent for the task. ‘The scholars. both male and female, seemed highly pleased with their sltuation, and wero in tho apparent enjoyment of all the pleasures of youthful li ir workshops and manufactories, it Is truly be- ed, surpase in mechanism any similar establish- ste in the country, Brooms, herbs, and garden the principal articles of sale. These have a world-wide fame, ‘The total number of acres of land held and owned by the three communities of Shakers in this State, is about ten thousand, but a fraction over ten acres to each person; not one fourth the quantity held by the Papal Indians of this State, against which not a murmur has ever been uttered, ‘The ouly remaining subject of consideration is that of nt Of legislative interference. Your committee re clearly of opinion that our written constitution fully and unequivocally settles this questi ‘That the Shakers are a religious society, no one has presume to doubt. That their principles of religion and mode of worship may be sneered at, scorned, or regretted; that from without the pale of their commu- nily. all may unite in the mortification that such a strange, innocent and deluded people should exist.may ndily be concede vut that they are inhuman, and jo not possess mor ings, ali must deny. Hence the panoply of our laws are over them, and they must be allowed, unmolested, to enjoy the free exercise of their religious devotions. Now, we hold our lives and property on a very frail and doubtful tenure in this State, if any per- sons or body of persons are liable to have the laws which protect them in their property repealed, not for any violation on their part of those laws, but atthe mere petition and representation of their enemies. The mere appointment of a committee, at the suggestion of enemies, to inquire shall the laws be repealed, is somewhat ominous. We are glad this committee asked to be discharged from the subject. If any people violate the laws, let the laws judge them and punish them; but let not the tongue of malicious slander succeed in acting upon our laws or upon our law- givers to injure and destroy those who have not been proved before a proper tribunal to have vio- lated the laws, under the protection of which we ought to be sure of living securely as long as we do not violate them. Drarn op Tur Rev. Dr. Power.—It is our mel- ancholy duty to armounce to our readers the de- cease of the Rey. Mr. Power, D. D., late one of the Pastors of St. Peter’s Church, in this city. The sad event took place yesterday afternoon—not en- tirely unexpected, however; for he had been in ill health for a period of two years. The deceased was a native of Ireland, of a highly respectable family, and a man of great learning, piety, and ability. As a zealous defender of the faith which he preached, he had but few equals, and no superiors, As an orator, he will be remembered for the splendid extempore discourses which he de- livered a few years since, and which were reported in the Herald and copied into journals (secular and religious) in Europe, where they excited the ex- amination of the most eminent Catholic divines. His kind and charitable disposition knew no limits in dispensing benefits to his less fortunate brethren. It made no matter what was the country or religion of the applicant, his bounty was liberally bestowed on all who needed it. In deeds of charity he recog- nized no distinctions. The lowes which the congregation of St. Peter’s Church have sustained by this dispensation of Pro- vidence is irreparable. No more will they behold his benignant countenance, beaming with the kind- liest feelings of human nature: the voice which rung upon their ears, in exposition and defence of Catholic Christianity, is hushed forever. The Catholic religion has lost, in the death of Mr. Power, an able expounder—the congregation of St. Peter azealous and faithful pastor—the poor a well tried and feeling friend—and society at large a member who was an ornament to it. Requiescat im pace. Brooklyn City Intelligence. Tnx Cuvxen Bunciars.—The examination of the burglars, John Edmonds, John Brown, and Daniel Col- ling, arrested in New York, by officer Stevens, of that city. and officers Mundell and Folk. of Brooklyn, charged with having, on the 4th inst., burglariously entered the chureh called Grace Church, in Hicks street, in this city, took pldee yesterday afternoon, before Justies Garrison.

A silvered cross was torn from the front, bont up with violence, and thrown on the floor. A course hemp linen bag was left on the altar table, From the robing room, or minister's private room, & pair of slippers of patent leather was taken and’ carried awny, which was valued at about $150; from a closet in washetand, which was opened, was taken a crimeon velvet altar cloth, richly embellished with gold embroidery and gold bullion fringe, and carried away; the cloth was of the value of about $300. A gilt clarp, worth about $2. was also taken from a prayer. book, and carried away, Tho gold fringo vel- yet now shown is undoubtedly ® part of the stolen property. A number of witnesses were examined, whose testimony fixed the guilt upon the prisonors, beyond the shadow of a doubt; and the Justice accord. ingly committed them for trial at the King's county Court of Oyee and Torminer, Leonard. On Friday evening, the friends of Moses G.

Lyons, and J. Bancroft Steyens—Mr. Lyons being designated as chairman, and Mr, Stevens selected to deliver the pro- Sentation address, which duty he performed in » hand- some style, aud to which address Mr. Leonard replied as follows :— ‘Sin—In accepting this valuable gift—valuable for its intrinsic worth, but tome a thousand times moro va- luable, as the testimonial of the kind feelings and friendship—of the affectionate regard and attachinont of my associntes, whose liberality has contributed to thin rich bequest, I fecl that language is too feeble properly to convey the sentiments of my heart, or to Meknowledge, asl desire, the debt of gratitude I owe them for so signal a manifestation of their favorablo conrideration and esteem, Sir, you have been pleased to refer in a flattering manner to the strong attach- ment bad for me by these donors, as evidenced by this presentation of costly plate—attributing these feolings to my conduct in the discharge of my official duties as the executive of the Alms fouse vepartmont of this great motropolis, ‘To have disebarged iny duties with fdelity, required that these, my associates, should be equally faithful in the performance of theirs; and it is ho email gratification to me to be able to say, that, to my knowledge, there has been no want of discipline, no lack of necountability, no license or indulgence to thom, not consistent with # strict and rigid performance of the trusts committed to their charge, ‘To have re- ceived, sir, the favorable consideration of such men and such officers, selected by the city authorities, for their virtues, inte ¢ snd qualifications for the discharge of the responsible duties imposed upon them as aids in the most tinportant department of our city government, is tome a matter of no small congratulation and pride, Notwithstanding, however much | may have devoted inyself to the duties of my office, and with what success my exertions in tho pub- lic service have been crowned, I'cannot be so vain as to suppose that Ido not owe much of this significant ex- pression of the favorable consideration of my associ- r generous and liberal estimate of my labors the interests of this department; and it iberal in the extreme were | to refuse the just acknowledgment, that to their exertions and devo- tion to their duties belongs much of iny success in the management of this most diffleutt department.

You have not, sir, inapproprintely alluded to the differences of party views between these gentle men and myself; and if there be any one above all the joyous emotions that thrill through my breast in the reeeption of this magnificent gift, it is, that these donors are my political epponents, "Let this evince to the world, that differences of opinion in political mat- ters need not, and should not, prevent amicable rela- tions between those engaged in the same work of serving the public in a public capacity.

' Pheu, and not till then, will be experienced that high attainn perity guarantied to us by our republican form of govern- ment; and, if mistake not, the signs of the times strongly foreshadow this glorious event, Sir, you have appealed most sensibly tomy feelings, in your allusions to my con- templated journey to the fur West—to my soparation from associates, acquaintances and friends+—but more particularly, from those above all dearest to my heart— iy wife and my little ones, Sir, noone can more keenly feel than 1 do, the sacrifices | mako in this separation. Made for social enjoyment, deeply imbued with do- meetie feclings, and surrounded with those well caleu- lated to secure my strongest love, my voluntary sur- render of them is @ wonder to myself. It fs a subject too painful for me to dwell upon here, and I cau but say that my over anxiety to surround those dear ones with the comforts of existence, and in tho strong hope that this temporary separation wiil prove not only theirs, but my own future good and happiness, I ven- ture the racriiice, and I shall drink with contentodness the bitter cup, if, with it there be reasonable grounds for hope that in the cnd_ it will sweeten tho waters of life, by providing those physical comforts so material to the demands of our nature, ‘and contribute to the means for their mental and moral advancement, with- out which lite is scarcely worth possessing, Sir, I can- not reccive this costly present, without again thanking the donors for this unexpected offering, and by as. suring them that so long as memory exists, I shall carry with me the pleasing recollections not only of this night and this testimonial of their kind and af- fectionate regards, but of their many virtues, their high sense of honor and integrity, their devotion to their duty in relieving suffering humanity by their ready ministrations of charitablo relief, by the kind courteous demeanor in conforming to any requirement of the office, and in fine by all tho soul-ennobling qua- lities which make mana man.

When Mr. Leonard had concluded his remarks, Al- derman Franxin, President of the Board of Alderm came forward, aud presented the following preamble and resolutions, prefacing them with some handsome and happy remarks ;— ‘At a mecting of the Joint Committee of the Common Council of the city of New York, on Charity and Alms House, held the isth day of April, 1849, the foll preamble and resolutions were unanimously ad Whercas, information has this day been receive the Hon.

B. Condit & Co., a wallet containing $50 in bills, and a package containing $400, in all $520. It is supposed that the thief who entered the room, used the nippers, which ix an instrument used by these hotel thieves, made to fit on the head of the key, while in the lock, from the outside, thereby enabling them to turn the bolt, and open the door, No arrest. sArrest ft a Fugitive.—A man by the name of Rouben P, Miche was brought to this city yesterday in enstody, from the town of Northampton, Pennsylvania, on a re- quisition from the Governor of this Stato, wherein he stands charged with obtaining a lot of dry goods, va- lued at $661 41, from the firm of Johns, Otis, &'Co., under false and fraudulent representations. It ap- pears that the accused, on purchasing tho goods, repre- sented that he was worth $3,000 in cash, of his own money, and had bought out his partner, and paid his $8,000 for his right in the business. Upon these repro- kentations, the goods were sold; but subsequently it was ascertained that the representations were false aud fraudulent. by which means it is alleged that tho com- plainants have been defrauded out of their goods, Jus- tice McGrath held the accused to bail in the sum of $1,500, to answer the charge at Court, for trial, Arrest on Suspicion.—Officers Stephons and Harri- gan, of the lower police, arrested, yesterday, a suspicious character, called Jack Carpenter, alias Bergen Jack, on suspicion of being concerned in several burglaries. On his arreet, he was seen to throw from his person a sil- ver pencil, with gold pen; also, a gold pencil, on the top of which was the letter R, These articles are evident- ly a portion of some robbery.

Ani. 12.—In consequence of the non-attendance of the number of jurors required by law in cases of felony, the trial which had beon set down for this morning was ut off until to-morrow. The law requires twenty-four jurors, and only twenty-two were presont. Jurors Fined. —The following jurors were fined $10 for not answering when called Peter Edes, E.. H. Bowyer, Wm. R.

He then went on {0 state, that he had, in the course of the trial, decided the ques- tious of aw, namely ;—that in his opinion, according to the true construction of the agreement, the defendant was bound to furnish the steaur power; and that having | given the agrecment without any restrietion, the plain= tif was at Dberty to carry on the manufacture of eotton ng. In the next place, it is probable that Mr. y thought that the carrying on of the defendant's uid interfere with hiv own business in sou why you should ey; nor is it wny reason why do- ry on his business. ‘The next question you sider, and wich if cided in favor of the defendant will end the matter. It is this: the ease was submitted, with the consent of both parties, to the arbitration of three gentlemen selected By themselves, to whom they submitted their claims, and it seems the arbitration closed on the 30th of June, about six o'clock of that evening. The arbi- (rators met the next morning, made thelr award, which was sign that renders it as valid don tho part of in the morn- the plaintiff, that it was re e ing. On this one point the whole case turns, namely:— whether the case in contro rey was finally submitted tothem on the 30th of June ?—because, if you are of opinion that it was, then there is an end to the case, It is the only disputed fact issue in the cause. His honor called the attention of the jury to the testi- mony upon this point, and concluded by telling them that if they believed it was finally submitted on the evening of the 30th of June, they should find a verdiot for the defendant; but if they believed it was not finally submitte » that day, the plaintiff was not precluded fre ing his cause of action, having remained as if there was no arbitration atall, He then proceeded to instruct them in the rule of damages, if they concluded to find for the plaintiff, and directed them to bring in a sealed verdict to-morrow (this) morning.

A nonsuit was granted on the ground that this suit was brought before the judgment obtained by Beals & Co., against plaintiffs was perfected, and satistied, because until then the contract was legally vested in Beals & Co., aud the plaintiffs had no interest in it.

We saw but little business done at the figure. Five heats were run, but they presented few points worth describing. In the first heat, Sarah War- ren led all the way round, (the Elouise filly making » pretty race with her,) and won by about a length, in 1:5534. Eolus kept snug, and didn't oxert himself for the heat, Two to one was then the figure three to one against Eolus, but Sar friends fought shy. Eolus won the second heat in a hand canter, the Elouise filly having unsuccessfully contested with him —time, 1574. Five to four was then offered on Eolus, and in ono or two instances five to three was the figuro, but very little was dono, Sarah appeared to be out of the market. After two false starts, the lot got off well, the Elouise filly leading, maintaining her posi- tion all the way round, and winning in 2:05—v slow time indeed. The betting (what there was of it) was then ateven on Eolus. The lot, after one false st shot off in double quick time, the Elouise filly leading, but before they entered the back stretch, Eolus gave signs of a determination to go ahead, and after a pretty contest, passed the Elouisé filly and came in a very easy winner, (the other two holding up when it was found they couldn't go in with Eolus.) in 1:58. Con- siderable excitement then prevailed, and 100 to 30 was offercd on Eolus, but no takers. Sarah Warren and Eolus made the running in the last heat, and had @ pretty struggle, which resulted in victory to the latter & a length, he winning tho heat in°1:544%.

Tho entries wore Goldsby’s ch. f, by imp. Leviathan, and K. Harrison's c. f. by Belshazzar, Previous to the start, the Lovia- than filly was the favorite, two to one, and fow takers even at those odds, Both ‘fillies camo up promptly at the tap of the drum, and got off well together. ~At the turn, the Belshazzar filly took the lead, and maintained that position, with little variation, throughout the heat to the home stretch, when she reached tho stand » length ahead, winning the heat in 1:57. Second Heai—The nags again came up promptly, eoth locking finely, and started well. Tho Belshazzar filly thok ine i as in tho first heat, meting it throughout, several lengths aby winning in 1:55.44. Srconp Rack.—The race was for the St. Charles Hotet urse of $400, three mile heats, The entries were Little Mistress, Black ,Setin, and Jumping Mullet—Black Satin being the favorite at odds against the field. At the start Little Mistress had the track, Black Satin being second, and Jumping Mullet third. ’ Black Satin soon took the cad. Little Mistress following, and Jump- ing Mullet behind, which position was maintained throughout the first and second mile, On tho third mile the horses kept the same position up to the home stretch, whore Little Mistross made a splendid brush for the heat, coming home littlo less than a length be- hind Black Satin, Jumping Mullet being third. Satin won the heat in 6:40. Second Heat—At tho start, Satin took the lead, Little Mistress pressing close, and Jumping Mullet again bo- hind, At the turn, Mullet pawed Little Mistress, but ‘ain fell back in the first quarter. Each horse kept this position to the last quarter turn, where all were fa aheap. ‘Thus they came up to within twonty rods of the winning post, Here Black Satin was ahead, both horres laying close up, with their noses on his quarter Satin's rider seemed confident of winning the heat, and dirceted all his attention to Little Mistress, who was the favorito against him. On this aceount, Jumping Mullet was enabled to steal the heat from both, and camo in a length ahead, in 6:27. Third Heat—Tho start was the samo as in the second heat, which position was constantly maintained at » slow gallop to the last quarter, where the only racing was done; here there was a splendid contest botweem all three, and the whip and spur were freely used, par- ticularly on Black Satin and Jumping Mullet. But the heat could not be taken from the latter, who came « half longth ahead, winning in 6:43%4. We may remark here that the track was heavy and unfavorable to very good time.
