Our telegraphic intelligence is interesting, voluminous, and important. The synopsis of the proceedings in the New York Legislature is full of interest. A variety of subjects are before that body, and there seems a disposition to hurry ‘over them, which is wholly inconsistent with the welfare of the State, or with the purposes for which the logislators have been called together. Hf the Legislature must adjourn, ‘et them make no blunders to accomplish their purpose. The intel- Figent reader will perceive that many important gubjecte are demanding the action of the State law-givers. At Washington the Court Martial of General ‘Talcott is still proceeding; but the reports seem to promise a farce in the importance of the exami- nation and its result. At Lancaster the democratic ratification meet- ing has followed up the conventions of Harrisburg and Reading with a spirit that will command public attention, for the possible political conse- ‘quences which may ensue. The compromise mea- sures of the last session, and the Fugitive Slave daw, are sustained by the action of the meeting. From Canada we have important news. The secularization of the Protestant Clergy Reserves may lead to a very serious disturbanee, and even a Separation of the Canadian union. It will be seen &hat the Attorney General, La Fontaine, has male an announcement on the subject that will actas a firebrand throughout the colonies of Great Britain. From St. Louis we have later news from Santa Fe, the particulars of which, as far as given, will be found in our telegraphic columns. From Boston we have some directions with res- pect to passports for foreign couxtries; but they con- tain not a single item of news to any one who has instructed himself for the purpose of travelling in Europe with facility and convenience. Whe State Bank at Morris—Review of the ‘Trials for Perjury and Conspiracy to De- fraud. Now that the two trials in relation to the @efunct State Bank at Morris—one for perjury, and the other for conspiracy to defraud--have terminated, a review of the proceedings, and of the results arrived at, may not be uninteresting or un- imstructive to the reader. The charge of the learned Judge on the trial of the directors, who were acquitted—which we give exclusively—pre- gents a curious coutrast to that of the same Judge on the trial of Dayton, who was convicted. Atour leieure, we may review these charges, in connection with the philosophical history of New Jersey justice for some years p It is a fresh subject, at least. There is no man that has attentively read the full reports of those cases—which were published exclusively in this journal, and fur- nished by our own reporter—who must not have been startled at the audacity of the ‘con- fidence men” who played their parts in this drama, and the facility with which they walked into the affections of their dupes. The developements mide en these trials are well calculated to alarm the public who are holders of the notes of many banks, which, for aught they know, may be, and, in point ef fact, really are, as rotten and as tottering as the State Bank at Morris on the day before its fall. The very directors themselves (if we are to believe them) were so utterly ignorant of its situation, on the night before it failed, that they had no hesitation in releasing an endorser of two notes from his security for $15,000, and substituting in its stead, eight hundred and thir- teen shares of the stock of the bank, owned by E. A. Thompson, which were then not worth a rush, for the foundation on which they rested—the Susque- hannah Bank—bad failed, and the superstructure went with it. These eight hundred and thirteon shares had been purchased by Susquehannah mo- ney, of whose worthlessness at least two of the directors were advived on the morning of @mday, in New York, the placards of the failure beimg in their own hands. Yet such was their blind credu- lity—such their implicit relianee upon the con- fidence man—that they released a good security, and leaned upon a broken reed. ‘This is their own showing; and it affords pretty conclusive evidence as to what kind of directors they wi lawyers and doctors—sons of Esculapius and Solon—with a oothdrawer for their cashier, whose defence on his trial was, that he was utterly ignorant of baak- ing and accounts—a fact which the books most satifactorily proved. We are bound to believe, from the characters the directors received, that they were “all honorable men.” Being friends, too, of the Judge, who endorsed their respectability, and pat in a good word for them with the jury, the presumption is that they are all as innocent as ‘unborn babes or sucking doves, while i. A. Thomp- gon and Willard Earle were very hawks. One of these is gone to bis account, and the other over the Alleghanics g@beent cannot defend themselves; blame the direetors attach to them, must be re- ecived with a grain of salt. One thing is worthy of remark—no attempt has been made to bring Thompson to trial. There has beeu no requisition upon the Governor of Ohio to deliver him up to offended justice As the case stands now, it presonts @ curious | phase of the administration of justice. Harvey Dayton, the supple tool, who, by the sanction and | ‘with the advice of the directors, swore that t bank hada bom: fide cash capital of $40,000 Officer of the bank—the servant who was only car- | rying out tho will of his employers—is a convict for ‘that false oath, and will be brought up for sentence in July next, b fore the Supreme Co while the employers, at whose instigation and for whose advantage he perpetrated the foul deed, go scot free, illustrating the proverb, That in the Coptain 's but a cholexse word. Which iu the soldier is flat baspheay Lambert Norton, the President of E. A. Thomp- who did bis bidding, avd also gulped h—notwithstanling the Sunday schools and the prayer meetings, and other religious exercises in which Judge and jury seeuted to place so much faith on the last trial—will have to pass through the ordeal a second time, at Morris town, in September next, or Mr. Ponier, who re poses the utmost confidence in him, after a thr n i # hoqua will forfeit bie b or, . r his piet ‘ of je mah j yt ‘ fame ation i equally opplicable 20 certainty of the law.” ‘There are some lessons to be derived from the late proceedings, and no doubt there are apt pupils, who will “ better the instruction.” In the first place, the public ought to take good | importance, and should not escape public attention. cs e in what banks they invest their money, of | The defendants are deserters from the British army respectability, combined, are sometimes more than amatch for law, justice, and State prosecutors ; and that when banking and financial operations are ous teaching at a Sabbath school, and eyes turned up te heaven, with all the sanctity ef Aminadab Sleek. Alas fer poor Harvey Dayton! he did act pay sufficient attentien to these things. ‘Thirdly—A web of rascality may be woven with such skill that % defies the ingenuity of lawyers to unravel it. A bank may be insolvent, and have is- sued $106,000 of Ks notes, without $5,000 to pay them ; and still the directors may know nothing about it, while the public are betrayed and victim- iced—a warning this, in future, to all really henest men, to have nething to do with tke direction of banks over which they de not exercise dirsct and constant contrel. Fourthly—The crafty are sometimes caugkt in their own net; and, as the ioe is new broken, anda conviction obtained for bank ewindting, other ope- rators have reason to beware how they trifle with an outraged community, for juries, now and then, like that which convicted Harvey Dayton, will be found firm enough to de their duty to God and their country. It is to be hoped that those neso- rious offenders who have hitherto leughed at the jaw, will be brought te justice, particularly the ¢windlers of the bank im Maryland, who are en- sconced in this locality, and ought to be immedi- ately indicted by the Grart Jury of the county where the offence was comm.ted. Though the re- sult of the seeond trial at Morristowo was # most “lame and impotent conclusion,” following the | first, both trials are important, for the principles of law laid down and admitted by the presiding Judge, and for the legal opinion of the Supreme Court of New Jersey, cited by the prosecutor, show- ing that swearing a wilfully false affidavit is corrupt perjury, and that the swindling of a bank by its officers or directors, is a crime both at common law and by the statute of New Jersey. Let the finan- ciers look out for breakers ahead. In conclusion, we would suggest a remedy, which, though it might not be always effectual, would p-e- vent much evil to thecommunity. Bankinspeetora— men of high honor, integrity, and as keen as razors— cught to be appointed in each State, whose busi. ness it should be to visit all banks, at such uncertain timesas to take them by surprise, and examine minutely the books and funds of each concern, and report them to the proper quarter, to be dealt with according to law, if found to be playing a swindling | game upon the public. Something of this sort seems necessary for the more effectual protection of the people. In the meantime, let the legal | means we already possess be put vigorously into action, and a vast amount of good may be achieved. Tue Arrroacnine Foveru or Jucy.—Announee- ments are made in every part of the country, which promise an unusual degree of enterprise in the celebration of the coming Fourth of July. Mr. Webster will deliver an oration on that day at Washington, when the corner stone for the new buildings for the enlarge ment of the Capitol will be luid—the practical illustration of compromise mea- sures in architecture. The probability is that Mr. Webster's mind will draw some likensss between the proposed improvements and the condition and prospects of the country. It will be a great event in the history of Mr Webster's career, and no one can tell what may be the result of one of his most powerful orations on an occasion that will afford scope for his most brilliant rhetorical and oratorical power. Besides our many local and municipal festivities on the recurrence of our great political Sabbath, there will be some interest in certain districts, from the presence of our Canadian neighbors, whe, in | large numbers—particularly of those who have been in favor of annexation—wil! come over to this side, to see what the Fourth of July really is, and how v political freedom looks on its great festival day, when all classes join in the great anniversary, with | willing tearts, and with hopes for its perpetuity through all tim Tue Wesrenn Lerrer Mait.—We were shown, yesterday, a letter received by a gentleman of this city, which had been ninety-six days on the rout* from Quincy, Illinois, to this city. The letter was postmarked Feb. 18, and arrived at the post office in this city on the 26thof June. This is certainly a bad show for Postmaster General Hall's mail ar. rangements, and it is no wonder that constant com- plaints are made of the loss of letters which do not | reach their destination in regular time. The time necessary for a mail from Quiney to New York is five days; but in the case here alluded to, it re- quired more than nineteen times the necessary time. It would be well for the Postmaster General to look into the matter, and see where the fault lies. It requires but about thirty-two days to transport | intelligence from California to New York—a dis tance of nine thousand miles—while more than three months are necessary to transport the mails from the western berder of Illinois to New York—a dis tance of but about one thousand miles. Tne New Paxx.—Since the Mayor and Common Council decided to have a grand park on the East | river, opposition has sprung up, in one or two quib- | bling forms. Those who are opposed to the park at Jones's wood and the Schermerhorn estate, pro- pose to have a park of six hundred acres, extend- ing from the Fourth avenue almost to Harlem. The objection—and it is an insuperable one—to this latter project is, that the present goneration could have no delight from it, as the land is with- out shrubbery or trees. No such objection can be brought against the original project, for Jones's | Dead men can tell no tales, and the | and whatever | woods is alroady a park, and only wante trimming | and laying out.

The :ule must work beth ways. After the treaty was ratified, and during Mr. Tyler’e administration, several negro slaves, on the Atlantic coast of one of our Southern States, murdered their overseer, burned kis house to cow ceal the murder, and stole a boat and other pro- perty of their masters, and fled to the Briiish Bahema Islands. ‘They were indicted for these crimes, and were demanded of the British autho- rities at Nassau, New Providence, by"the United States. A revenue cutter was despatched after them, and the United States Marshal, with the indictments and witnesses te identify them. The British judicial authorities formally and grave- ly decided, that the treaty did not cover the case, and even went éo far as to intimate that the taking of life and preperty by a slave, in an effort torecover his freedom, was a quasi political crime, an act of insurrection, and not known to the British law as one of the crimes epecified in the treaty; and the judges refused to surrender the fugitive murderers and thieves! ‘This case was laid before Congress by Mr. Cal- houn, whilst he was Seeretary of State, and it is to be found stated at large in the printed documents, about eight years since. in the House of Representatives. vernment sustained ita judges. If that desision is adhered to, the British government cannot claim the restoration of their deserters, even though they did bring off their muskets and equipments, or take any other articles of property assorted to them, to enable them to escape, or in delivering them from their military slavery. ‘Those lesser offences are all merged in the felony of mutiny, and according to the decision ofthe Bahama British judges the offences | wore merely political. The restrictions of the treaty cannot be evaded by trumping up a charge of steal- ing a penknife or anything else, if it was an act done to enable them todesert. Desertion is not one ofthe crimes enumerated in the treaty. We may be mistaken, and have no references at hand to correct our impressions of the Creole, Eater- prise and Encomium cases, that one or two of them were cases of piracy and murder in American vessels, and that the British authorities refused to surrender | the pirates and murderers, on similar grounds; the criminals committing the acts to escape from | slavery. It may be, however, that these cases were before this treaty. In the Amistead case, the United States courts set the negro murderers and | pirates free. The British deserters are to have no | legal counsel. Probably the anti-fugitive slave | committee or association do not employ counsel be- cause they are white men. The commissioner will, we presume, give his written opinion on Monday, on this highly important and interesting case. Inreuisoesce yRom Havawa.—We have reselved, via Charleston, our files of the Fare Industrial de la Habana and Diarw dela Marina to the 224 inst. The politica, | news is of no interest; and the island continues to enjoy | the greatest tranquillity. On the 17th inst., when all the captains of the Spanish war vessels in the port were congregated in the house of the General Commander of the Navy, the news arrived that a fire bad broken out on board the beautiful frigate Esperanza, It is easy to conceive that the meeting im- mediately broke up, and the commanders hurried to their ships. The fire, hewever, was soon put down, aud the damages to the frigate were but trifling. The Faro Industrial has translated an article from the New York Herald, relative to the new postal arrangements | between the United States and some of the Antilles, Mexieo, and the ports situated on the Mexican Gulf and South America. The same journal complains of the ex- terior postal arrangements of Iiavana, and asks the mer- chants to call the attention of the proper authorities to the subject, in order to improve the exterior postal sor- vice of the island. ‘The Diario enys that it is rumored that Marti will not epgage with an Italian operatic company for the next reason; and that Lumley, the celebrated manager of the Italian Operas of Paris and London, will come to Ia- vana next winter. with Mile.

Crowds of | | people gathered around the tragical scene, and the most | intense and gloomy agony was depicted in the counte- | mance of every individual, young and old. It appears vhat about four years ago, Kiely was married clandes- \inely to Ann Golden, daughter of Patrick Golden, the | girl being only about fifteen years of age at the time. | The parents, particularly the father, had been opposed | tothe marriage,and Kiely was forbidden to approach the house, and the consequence was, that Riely and his wife | did not live together for a considerable time, Latterly a | Partial reconciliation took place between Riely and his | wife's relations, and he resided since for the most part in | Patrick Goldea’s house, Jealousy, however, whether just or unjust, induced Riely to suspect the fidelity of his wife; and it appears, from his own statement and the evidence cf others, that he had resolved upon her murder: and also upon that of her mother. EXAMINATION OF ELIZABETH CONROY BEFORE JUSTICE BOSWELL. At eleven o'clock, Justice Boswell proceeded with the exemination of Elteabesh Conroy, in her sick room, who, being duly sworn, says, that Lawrence Riely, on the 28th of June, 1851, did inflict a dangerous wound on | the said Elizabeth, with arharp instrument, which she | taw in the hands of said Riely; she believed it to be a knife; saw Ann, his wife, struck with the same instru- ment; Ann fell immediately; it was about 71¢ o’olock; there was nobody in the room except Ann Riely and myself, when he struck Ann; Riely said nothing; I heard a shriek; it proceeded from an adjoining back came into the front room of the second story of the house No. 110 North Fourth street, where Ann and myrelf were, took held of Ann by the shoulder with one hand, and plunged the knife or sharp instrumeat in her body more than onee, and she fell; I went to save her; he then stabbed me; I am nineteen years of age; was staying at the house of Riely while I was out of w place; have lived there one work, since Saturday last; the shriek came from Mary Goldiag, the motber of Ann; I believe Riley has not worked much during the past week; he was sbout heme a gecd deal during the week; he appeared sober and temperate, but complained of being unwell; he acted strangely; when spoken to he was pleasant; he was going sailing yesterday; before that he said he would not cure if he was drowned; be frequently said he wished he was dead; yesterday a young man came to the house; Ann was pleasant to him; Lawrence Miely said she would not alwoys be sofunny; Aan replied he could not hinder her; Iusked him to take me sailing yesterday; he said “you would not go, and I will not ask Ann;” Ann or Ann's mother said be wouid upset the boat; he said he would not hurt a hair of her head; the mother told him he bad often sought an opportunity to injure her. The following is the certificate of Dr. Hogeboom, the physician who was called to attend cn Elizabeth Qon- roy I certify that I have examined Elizabeth and have fourd a wound upon her body, situated on the up- per pertion of the seventh rib, abovt #ix inches from the int of the sternu line of the body, ve Joined to the ribs’ The wound is aboat oue and a quar- ter inches im length, and three.quarters or one inch in depth, perhaps involving some iuternal organ. She has considerable pain on inhaling a full breath. She does not express any fear in regard to her situation, and I do not think her iu a dangerous state, although it would not be proper to remove her at present. [cannot say what instrument the wound was inflleted with. CHARLES L, HOGEBOOM, M. D, THE CORONER'S INQUEST.

EVIDENCE OF DR. LORETT RELATIVE TO THE DEATH OF ANN RIELY. th. Charles L. Hogeboom fully coneurred in the above statement. Lawrence Riely, the prisoner, was brought forward. On being interrogated, he said that he was married to his dece: wife, Aun Kiely, by Father Beacon more than three yearsago. [A knife was here shown to the pritover, four and a half inches long, the point and guards of which seemed to have been broken recently.) On being questioned, he said the knife was his. Question—Did you stab your mother-in law and wife with this knife ? Answer—Yes, He eaid he did not mean to stab Eliza- ee aay that no assault had been made on him, but that he n plagued by bis wife and mother-in-law, who said they wished that he might cut his throat while he was busy in shaving; he had owned the knife three or four days, and ought it im New York for the purpose to which it was applied. Coroner Anderson was unwilling to question the pric soner further, and ordered the officer to reconduct him to theeells. When about to retire, the prisoner remarked that he did not wish to live. ‘The prisoner being Ge eure as the murderer of Mery Golden and Aun ly, he was committed to the county jail, It was now sbout half-past two o'clock, and further evidence being deemed unnecerrary, the investigation was cored; and, after a few moments retirement, the jury returned the following verdict:—-That the said ary Golden came to her death from hemorrhage of the lungs, caused by # wound inflicted witha dirk knife in the hands of Lawrence Kiely. That the said Ann Riely come to her death from a stab in the heart with & dirk knife in the hands ot Lawrence Riely.” The celisin Williamsburgh not being deemed a safe Place to keep the prisoner, he was removed to the Count; jail, in Brooklyn, Before he was taken out of the cell our reporter visited him, in company with several other persons. The prisoner sat in his cell, apparently quite calm and unconcerned. He locked uudismayed, and, it would seem, regarded his fate in such 4 manner as if he bad been preparing for it for some time. On being ques tioned by the reporter, the following conversation took place :-— THE CONVERSATION. Reporter—Mr. Kiely, are you not sorry for what you Lave done? Prisoner—No. My wife has betrayed me; she has shown. that fidelity to another which she should have shown to me. Ke ‘But why should you have killed her mother ?

During the whole day and evening the street opporite the houge in which the murder took place was thro with pedple, and the most melancholy wir was visil on every countenance. Hundreds were still around the decor about 9 o'clock last night, and it would seem by the silence hich uniformly prevailed, that they had been fasein: to the spot. The interior of the hor rented a most awful and heartrending spe: whole flight of stairs was dyed with the heart’s blood of the murndered, and on the floor where Mrs, Golden fell ® pool of the purple gore was to be seen, The dismal appearance of everything around was sufficient to make e heart shudder, and the whole scene presented an awful picture of human wickedness avd reckless rity such as it is to be hoped will but seldom be wit nessed among a civilized people. Etizabeth Conroy, who was stabbed under the left breast, was not expected to urvive last night. city Iw INCENDIARY FIRE— FRIGHTFUL SCENE —SEVERAL PERSONS INJURED.

Between the hours of ten and eleven o'clock, on Friday” night, the jewelry store belonging to Mr. A. L. Williams,. situated at 2263, Broad strect, Newark, N.

Yesterday morning early, Mr. Southard arrived in this city, and gave the first information to- Mr. Matsell, the Chief of Police, respecting the burglary,. and likewise the description of two men who were secn, by a boy, to cross the bridge about eleven o'clock that. night, carrying each a bundle, going in a direction to- wards New York, This description, although somewhat. imperfect. enabled the ebief to direct his atteutioa t. certuin quarters heretofore suspected, ‘Accordingly, officers Brown Reed and Parker, wero cslied up, and the matter placed in their hands to de- tect and arrest the accused parties, Mr. Reed, when. informed about the burglary at Newark, suspeetod tw > Englishmen, named George Shields and George Thomas, who resided in a small room situated ina smell frams building in Orange street, near the vicinity of the Five Points In pursuance ¢f this suspicion, the three officers proceeded. about 2 o'clock yesterday aiternoon, to the locality above named, with a view, at first, of re- connoitering the premises; but, on arriving at thy door. they observed some suspicicus persons lurking abous near by, who they thought would communicace witi. the rogues. anJ therefore concluded to proceed a: once up rtaire, hit or miss, and secure the parties at any rate, on suspicion, The officers, in order to get up stairs, were compelled to pass through the basement aud up a back stair case, very narrow and difficult of access, ‘Tuis wos accomplished ina very quiet manner, so as not to caure apy alarm to the robbers, whom they intended to surprise; and ina small back room on the seceud story. the door of which was closed, the officers listened aud heard the voices of men and women.
