V The tilegality of the American Art Vali SUPERIOR COURT. OPINION OF JUDGE __ JoNK 14.—Judgo Roosevelt has given tho follow- ing opinion—concurring with that of Judge Mitoholl —on the illegality unconstituti ity of the American Art Union :— First—That a lottery, within tho meaning of the constitution, was a ‘ sohome,” by which contribu- tions in money wero solicited to o common fand, composed of equal shares, to be distributed after- wards (subject to a fixed deduction for profits and expenses), into uboqual portions, called blanks and prizes, determinable by the ** wheel of forvuno,” or any other appeal to chance. Second—That an in- vestmeat of the common fund, that invited aud con- tributed for a subsequent unequal partition by lot Alue Lastead of won y or uv curities, can wake no diflereucyin principle.

Tho passion tor gaming may be stimulated as efloctually by tho prespect of the ous a3 of the other. ‘herr mutual convertibility is too obvious to escape the dullest perception, A great commer- cial emporium, all kuow, aud especiully the keon- sighted gamester, can turn painting “into gold, and gold into painting, with equal, or nearly equa facility. Theo ‘work of art,” it is trae, may, in the fluctuations of demand and supply, sell for t but it may also sell for more, than the artist's p. curved 5 vee of play is, to tho vo cal ingredient of hazard, instead of counteracting, serves rathor to aggravate tho virulence of the poi- sen. What the constitution intended to protubit was the setting up of lotteries aud the pan of lot- tery tickets. The greater or less certainty of the prizes, or their greater or less magnitude, provided they had any pecuniary valuo, and any tendency to stimulate the gambling propensity, wore circum- stances of nB account. Tho moral opium, ia all its forms and degrees, was to bo exciuded from the for Mr. Brush, the defendant. corroborated Mr. Russell's statemoxt, repeating the evidence of Ie The assault w the complaint for affidavit was ; one directed him to di wards to get him to come and answer to it; did not remember what day it was sworn to ; said he wou'd p tion (the witnosses, at the defondant’s request, wore here erdered to withdraw); he went to nerve 8 gub- paren; rent up into the second story, sud he handod 0 subpoena, and handed him fifty cents, which vere on the ground; that Brash struck bim whi in bis room; that ho wont out of the room, and was going down stairs, when Brush reachod over and struck him, and: kicked him as he was going down towards the entry.

Canany di inction, in prineiplo, be drawn between the ‘cor clivered to ‘the subscriber,” as the ev dence of his chanee, in tho lottery of the Art Union, and the © ticket’ sold in former times to the candi- dates for fortuno in the Union College scheme? The method is the same, the motive is the same, the object is the same, and the passion addressed aud relied on for success is the same; and I may add, the ‘public good,” so strenuously, and no doubt sincerely, urged, is the same. And yet, tho Union College lotteries were stopped forever— merely to be succeeded, if the defendants’ counsel are right, by the lotterics of the Art-Union, and others of a kindred character. Some stress has been laid upon the fact, which is not denied, that the Art Union scheme involves no blanks. Every purchaser of a ticket, it is said, is sure to draw a prize. If this distinction be admissible, it must be applicd equally to moneyed lotteries, and the munagers would only have to avo- rage a scheme of dollar prizes, at the bot- tom, to sustain a system of twenties and oven hundreds ofthousands at the top. Absolute blanks are not essential to the idea of # lottery; intoutional inequality in the distribution, be it great or small, to be determined by chance, is ull on this point that is necessary. It is the possibility of drawing a ‘splendid prize” that constitutes the temptation of the deluded victim; the blanks, whether absolute or comparative, in his view are of little or no account. But even admitting them to have some influenci it is difficult to conceive how a small modicum of certainty, in the shape of an overvalued engraving, threwn into a stupendous mixture of chance, can entirely, not partially, neutralizo the poisonous na- ture of the compound, It may make the drug more extensively sednetive—and that, I presume, is both its object and iis effi but does it render it less pernicious? My conclusion is, that, purchased, as these paintings were, for the express purpose, the poposed distribution of them by lot, in unequal portions, among the holders of tickets, by way of b wnks and prizes, is in every just acceytation of the term, and in every just view of the evil to be rome- died, a lottery, and as such, not only unay bat prohibited by | Judgment, theretiy be given for the ‘plaintiffs. Court of General Sessions. Before the Recorder, and Ald. Ward and Denman. June M.—Tiral for Forgery—Acquittal of the Accused. —The jury re aseembied, as appointed. at lo o'clock this morning, and the trial of Edwin Wilbur was proceeded Mr. Hobson was recalled, and examined at considerable length, as to the language used to the prisoner at tle time of the confession, acd Mr. Spencer renewed his argument against the adrissibility. Justice Osborn was also placed on the stand, and testified to the substance of what Mr. Hobson said at the examination before him. It was, that he told the young man that he ha got himself into a diffieulty, and that he had t proof against him; and now, if there were any miti- gating circumstances in the matter, and he should require any favor at his hands, it would be fur bet- ter for him to tell the whole truth, than to doccive any partics. eae fhe Court, afler a long discussion, held that the confession was not such a voluntary and free one as the law contemplated, and ruled it out. A witness, (EB. Graves,) for the defence, did not think that the filling up of the check was in the prisoner’s hand writing; and be and anothor wit- ness spoke as to his good general character. Mr. Spencer summed up for tho defence, pointing out the absence of all testimony, when the confes- sion, (which was extorted under the fear of expo- sureand disgrace), was strickenout. Tho Assistunt District Attorney submitted the case under the charge of the Recorder. His Honor directed them to discard the adinission of guilt by the prisoner himself, and confine themselves to the consideration of the other points. These were very meagre, con- sisting principally in the facility which the defend- ant bad of committing the offence. The jury, after an absence of about an hour, returned a verdict of not guilty. The accused, who is an ery is- genteel and good looking young man, was then eharged, and left the Court with his friends. Charge of Perjury Against an Attorney. An Episode in the © Shirt Case” Contr James Ferguson, whose litigations have claimed so much attention from our courts, civil and criminal, for the past five or six years, chiefly originating with the celebrated divorce suit, known as the *‘shirt cage,” wag placed on trial, indicted for falsely swear- ing before the Court of Special Sessions, on the 26th November, 1850, that the present complainant, George P. Brush, had assaulted him on the 16th day of March, 1850, on his going to serve him with a subpoena. Hon. A. L. Jordan and Hon. I’. A. Talmadge ap- peared for the defence. ; Mr. A. O. Hall opened the case, and read the in- dictment He proceeded to state the circumstances, showing that the defendant had complained, in the first instance, before the police magistrate—hid then gone to the grand jury, and finally to the Special Sessions—upon which’ occastons, as also in a civil suit, he had sworn to the same state of ficts, Mr. Jordan objected. None of these facts were alleged in the indictment, and could not be given in evidence; he therefore submitted that counsel ought not to state them in the opening. | Mr Hall supposed he had the right to give them in evidence, and should certainly offer them all. An element in the crime was the corruptness, or malice; and the repeated acts of the prisoner, in tho same course of action, was, he contended, not only competent but most proper evidence of malice, and he certainly had a right to it in bis opening. Mr. Jordan replied, it resolved if into a ques- tion whether they had theright to give these things in evidence, and prove other cases against his client. The indictment referred to the Specis! Sessions only, and to that they must confine them- selves. The Court thought, in’ the present stage, that the District, Attorney should confine himself to the specific perjury charged—at a fature one, they might go into the question of malice. Mr. Hall said he would offer the evidence in the course of the trial, and with that intimation from the Court, would avoid the subjoct at present. Aftor a few Turther observations, Mr. Woury Van- dervoort, the clerk of the Court of Sessions, was but it was admitted that on the day Court of Special Sessions was consti- named, the tuted as alleged, that Brash was tried for an as- soult and batt and that tho defendant was sworn asa witness.

The question is often asked how far the Crystal Palace, on Reservoir square, may be expected to ofitable affair.

It is,in fact, much more. Of this million, some will visit the exhibition re- peatedly, some only once, some not at all.

This, however, is made doubtful by tho ad- mission that similar rumors were in circulation some weeks before the visit of the Spy. From theso rumors, the editor of the Herald pro~ ceeds to argue very warmly that England has taken part with the enemies of tho republic, and that @ sad fate awaits Liberia, unloss a ** repressing hand”® from abroad arrests these proceedings. For our owa part, we see no sufficient reason for these gloomy apprehensions—apprehensions, too, to whioh, we are free to say, we think the Liberian authorities ought not to give place, except on vory sufficient and in- controvertible evidence, seein; the first to recognise Liberi: ig that that power was ia’ national existence, and has given her substantial tokens of good will. There is enough in gland’s connection with the Tradetown country to justify her in “inquiring inte the difficulty”? between the three chiefs an the Liberian authorities, for aluhough the sovercignty of that country was ceded to Liberia by Bo; its acknowledged chief, for a well understood conside- ration, yet this was dono with a reservation made necessary by the fact that two English merchants, Mevsrs. Lawrenco and Murray, had purchased therein fhe right to a site or sites for factories. Now, ithas een asserted by Liberia, that Mr. Lawrence prompted Beyer to rebellion and resistance to Libe- rian authority. This is reiterated in the He) fore us, rrald be- Those and other circumstances made it in- cumbent upon the English commander to institute inquiries, such interference not being of his own secking, but forced upon him by. the rey gations of the Liberian authorities. Wiel ated alle With respect to the mode of conducting the inquiry, we really find no established fact—nothing having the appear= anc of accredited truth—that is not compatible with feelings ef friendship, and a desire to do justice. But subsequently, as we understand, to the in- band, &c., who were clamorous for their pay, and | quiry at Tradetown, the British sloop-of-war Crane arrived at Monrovia, and the commander sent despatch to Governor Roberts, conveying a dscu- ment to the effect that the right of thd government to of Liberia to exercise sovereignty over the Trade country having been denied by tho native chiefs, he must protest “against any arrest or mo= lestation whatever of Mr. Lawrence,” who had been cited to trial by the ley’s pecuniary difficulties being explained, rezolu- tions were passed to carry him through his season- Now this appears very liberal, but in truth the sub- scribers served themselves, as they had bought their boxes for several years, and their speculation would have proved a dead loss if the theatre had been closed. Lucky Lumley, he gets out of his pecuniary difficulties with less trouble than any managor I ever heard of. The artistes have behaved with great gene- | rosity, Lablach and the principal singers haying yo-*} lunteered to accept half salaries. The great soprano, Mad’lle Wagner, has made a ney muss of it. She cannot sing anywhere in treat Britain or Ireland, having refused to fulfil her | engagement to Lumley, in consequence of more tempting offers from Covent Garden Theatre, and the Lord Chancellor having issued his injunction to prevent her appearing at any other house until she completes her contract atfthe Queen’s theatre. You will remember that the angel Jenny Lind got inte a similar difficulty some years since. Oh, this love of money and want of honor! Lumley will bring an action heth here and in Prussia against M’lle Wag- ner and her securities, (some members of the Prus- sian ministry), for £30,000; and it is generally be- lieved, among gentlemen ef the legal profession, that he will recover. He has certainly beon treated most villanously; but few blamo the fair cantatrice— the avaricious old father is the cause of all the trouble. Lumley has prosecuted Gye, the lessee of of Covent Garden, for a conspiracy, and will proba- bly lock him up in prison, unless he pays a large sum for bis deliveranco. As M’llo Wagner cannot sing in any theatre in Europe until her legal diffi- culties are arranged, | think it probable that she | will pay a visit to thé United States. The rew at the Italiaa Opera is not the only |. theatrical disturbance that has lately occurred. An actor, who calls himself the American tragedian, and who has been in London about a year, was at & Bloomer ball not long since, and on being remonstrated with by the officers for his ungentlo- manly conduct to several ladies present, drew a Bowie knife, which wasimmediately taken from him, and he was kicked out of the room: he has not been seen since. Charles Kean says he is going to be knighted, and made master of elocution to the royal family; but most people think him mad, and, in- deed, his late conduct would seem to warrant the supposition. He behaves most rudely to his actors, and had lately to send a written apology to Mr. Wigan, whom he grossly insulted. The atmosphe of the court makes many a litle man forget him- self. | une 11.)
