The Case of Col. Roberts and Capt. McLane. At ten o'clock yesterday morning. the court martial appointed to try Captain McLane. re-assembled, per ad- journment, at ‘the Quartermaster’s office, State street. The proceedings were opened by the Judge-Advocate calling over the roll of officers composing the court, and reading the minutes of the proceedings of the previous dey. The firet witness called was Lieutenant Johm. G, Parker, who deposed as follows:— Q —Are you acquainted with the accused? 0. A Q—Did PE, ever see him before, and if s0, when?

Q.—Where did this affray occur? A.—In the lower hail of Winder’s Buildings, in the city of Washington. Q.—Were any other persons present? A.—Yes, sir; quite a number, ‘The Jud_e Advocate intimated that he did not think it necersary to put any further questions to this witness, Mr. R alice then requested him to put the following question :— Q.—Will you state to the court ull that you saw on A —I was sitting {n the office adjoining Colonel Ewart's, and heard loud talking in tbe hall; on going to the door, in conversation. the latter with a letter in bis hand, ques. tioning the Colenel about the contents, or demunding some explanations. Not wirhing to be implicated in any | diffieulty, Lreturned to my desk in the office, aud there | remained until Lieutenant Wright, of the Engineers, | entered. He told me thut it was time this matter shonld be stopped, and we went to the dcor, and while standing | in the doorway, heard a rustling of paper aud a slap; | starting into the hall, I saw the accused making gestion lations. and attempting to strike Colonel Roberts; I im- mediately sterted towards the parties, and took bold of the accused, whereupon Lieutenant Wright arrested him. Q—What was the manner and tone of Volonel Roberts on the cecaston ? A.—Perfeotly gentlemanly, as far as Q.—Were not the manuer and tone ef as insolent as those of the accused ? A.—No, sir. ‘Tho next witness was Brevet Lientenant Colonel Ro- wand heard. rlonel Roberts of oy Court for appearing without his epaulettes, de- sed :-— Q.—Wohat regiment do you belong to and what is your rank in that regiment, and in the army ! A.—A captain in the mounted rifles, and a brevet lieutenant colonei in the army. Q—Are you acquainted with the accused and if so, how long ? A.—I am acquainted with Captain McLane since Octo- ber, 1846 Q.—Pleace state to the Court the nsture of the inti- macy which you had with the accwed since October, 1846. A —Tie joined my company at the Brazos, S$», Jago, in 1846, as second lieutenant, on the march from that place to Lampico; he was the lieutenant in my company | tll the 10th of April, 1847, when I was promoted to another company; during ali that time, [ think he tented and mesred with me in more than ordinary rela- | tions of intimacy’ and more than was usual between the | commanding oflicer of a company and « subaltern ; this kind feeling continued to exist until Captain McLane left the city of Mexico, which was, I think. in October, or November, 1847 ; from that time, until Gctober. 1862, | T have met Captain McLare in different places. and sup- | pored that the sume intimacy existid up to that date, Q—Did anything occur on the day epecified to change those feelings ? | A.—There did Q—Pleate etate to the Court the the circumstances of that occurrence.

Roberts continued—{ left that oflics to go to my own; on getting there found no one there, but while talking with the servant girl, who had delivered a mes- | sage to me trom my wife,and to my ebildien, who were with ber —— Captain McLane o denee, which was, ve Col Roberts again ec Ae eted to this portion ef the ingly erwed from the minut! nucd—{ saw a gentleman a proachixg me whom I recogrized to be Capt. McLane; T advenced to speak to him, and offered him my hand, and seluted him with “low do you do, Usaotain !” or some thing of thst kind; instead of giving bis hand, he drew from bis pocket a letter, end demanded to know why I wrote to bim that lett | | | | cay ke would inflict « | j | | in which [called him “iny | dear subaltern”? and signed myself truly, or ein- | d that if he convicted things, i he raid certain state be of asserting falsely | cerely bis, or scinething like that, and in the same letter | would | replied that | J presumed the lotter he bad was ore [ had written to | him, end that my letiers generally were very plain, and | misunderstood; aud since he had assumed an ner, L covld give him no explanations of not to b offensive mu | that letter; that he could put his own constraction on | it, cr something to that eflect, or that I was responsible | for the ccntents. Ge again replied that he knew I wrote things which [did not mean, and that I often meant | things which I did net write, and demand dto know | what I meant by calling bim “may dear rubsitera.” I re plied. in eubstance that if our relations had not justified me in vring that term without offending him, that he and that T was retpopsible for the offence. He then enid im substance, as near as I can mmember, that be would have me to | know that I could not edify his friends with com vereations about him witbout his Koowing it. and that he would not permit me to be talking Mig im bebind his back I replied, what @ SAG Of HIM 1 Wowd repeat te tis tase or hold myself responsible for sil that I hadsaid. He again asked at this time, or previously if when I wrote to him my first let ter, Lhad seen an article in the Old Defender, or knew that he was the officer referred to in thatarticle. I re- lied that I would not tell or that Idid not remember. Je said the Jeter was cowardly and contemptible, and I repelled the blow, and struck at him, and # g-neral altercation with fists occurred. I rbould ra’hor say Captain MeLane did attempt to strike mo, and I repelled him. Cuptala McLane repeated several well-directed and powerful blows at me which I avoided as well as T could by closing in with him. Some persons. during this altercation caught bold of me, and Captain McLane was arrested by Lieutenant Wright, of the Eng neers, I think, who told him to go to his quarters end Captain McLane said he he was etationed at Carlisle, and bad no quarters in town. Lieutenant Wright eaid he would. That is what occurred, as near as I cnn remember, Some conversation took place relative to that portion of the Colonel's evidence, concerning to the fight between Capt. MeLane and him. The Colonel begged to be understood, that be did not mean to say he actaally fought with bis fists, for he was incapacitated from ro doing, by a disease in his throat which would cause suf. focation it he used much exertion, He defended himself a8 well as he could. Q.=Did the accused st-ike you ? A.—The first blow delivered by the acoured, hit me on right side of my face pear my ear, The other blows were parred by my arm Q —Where is your office, to whioh you refer ? A.—ItSs on the first dor in Winder’s ts Q,—Were any other persons present during the and if so, what description of persons? A —About twenty, I think, came out of their oflces— the teme ball, and gathered ronnd during the alterca- tion. There were officers of the army aud navy, and clerks of different depariments, At this stage of the proceedings, Capt, McLane requost- ed the Court to adjourn for ten minutes, in order to ena ble him to prepare a few questions which he desired to have put to the witness, ‘The Court uoceded to the re- quest, and extended the time to fifteen minutes, On the re-astombliog of the Court, Col, Roberts was asked the following questions by the Judge Advocate, in accordan se with the request of Mr, Barrott :— Q.—Have you ever seen an article in the Old Defender a to General Pierce ? .—I have never seen an article in the Old Defender, or purporting to be ‘until to day, % nr Q —Heve you heard its contents ?

Col, Roberts’ evidence wasthen continued :— Q.—Did you hear, and when, that the secused was the officer referred to in the said article in the Old Deyender, as the author? A.—Col. McLenahan asked meif [knew whet captain of the ermy was stationed in Baltimore; he said he had heard it was Captain McLane, Robert McLane’s brother, Mojor Morris agein objeoted, and a diccussibn took pies ‘a8 to whether evidence should or should not admitted. Strangers were ordered to withdraw; and on being re-admitted the eae Advocate announced that the court had decided that the answer should not be continued. Major Muckell remarked that he thought the court did not co express itself, but allowed the wit- ness to reply with a simple affirmative or negative A short conversation ensued, and it was settled tl witness should confine himself to facts, and not gi arsay evidence. Col. Roberte them replied to a question ing the authorship of that article, by pe that he did not hear the accused was the author of article, nor think 20 till he received a letter from McLane himself; and that he did not think there was a general rumor in Wasbing- ton that the accused was the author till after the receipt of that letter. Q.—Prior to writing your letter to the accused, had you not learned in Washington that the accused was the officer referred to?

Captain G McLane, U.S. A. ThesJudge Advocate then, by request of Capt. MeLane, called on Col. Roberts to produce the reply to that letter, but the Colonel replied that he looked for it on leavigg home and could not find it. A copy of the said let was put im by the accused, and the Volonel stated that he believed it to be correct:— Baurimonx, (Md.) Sopt. 10, 1852. Dean Srn—Your letter of the 9th iust. it betore me.

The court, after the extreet was read by the Judge Advocate decided that it should be admitted as evidence for the defence, GENERAL PIER GALLANTRY, An article r.cently appeared in the Old Defender, of thia city, which was ec pied in the Americonand Patriot, of city, and other papers, relative to an gccurrence ia the ¢ of Mexico, in which General Pierce had a part.

T HE EPISCOPAL CHURC Il. { giren the change to preserve this trenvure, and to carry It Consecration of Bishop Wainwright, in Trinity Church. SMPRESSIVE AND INTERESTING CEREMONY, Sermon of Bishop Chase, of New Hampshire, &o., &o., be. ‘Trinity Chureh was yesterday the scene of one of the most solemu, interesting, and impressive ceremonies of | the Christian chezch, namely, the consecration of a bi- shop. The Reverend Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright, the recently elested Bixhop of the diocese of New York, was to be conrecruted to the sacred offize of the Eptecopa cy of the Protesteut Epivcopal Church, and very great inte- rest was manifested te witness the ceremonial. The hour appointed for the comm neement of the service was 11 o'clock, A. M., but for more than two hours previousiy, thore holding tickets for admission, crowded to the c'furch for the purpote of securing sents. It was found necessary to place members of the potice force at the cuter gutes and @vors, to restrain the rush which would otherwise have been made to procure places within the edifice, Long before the commencement ofthe solemn proceedings, the auditory of the church was filled to its utmost eapacity; and many ladies wero forced to go away without being able to procure admissior. A procession was formed in the vestry room, and entered the church in the following order:— First-~The candidates for orders, and students of the ‘Theologieal Semivary, attired in citizens dress, and num. bering come sixty gentlemen; these took the pews as- signed to them inthe north and south ai les. Second--The deacons, and Third—The priests, the juniors among thom coming first. The clergy. attired in surplice and scarf, and num- bering about 150, proceeded down the middle aisle, and cecupied the seats therein reserved for them, and’ the ceats in front of the chancel; Most of the clergy ofthe diocees were present, and thera were also many feom Gou- necticut and Western New York. ‘The Officiating deacons and priests followed the other clergy, and the procession was closed by the bishops, robed in their Episcopalattire, whe took their seats within the sacrarium, _ The following are the names of tho Bisbops who took part in the ceremony:— Brownell, Bishop of Connecticut, Presiding Bishop, { } Mountain, do. Quebec. Poiter, do. Pennsylvania, Whittingham, do, Maryland, Dhare, do. New Hampshire, Doane, do, Now Jersey, Kemper, do. Wisconsin, Upfold. do. Indiana Wiilinms, Assistant Bishop of Connecticut, Delancy, Bishop of Western New York. The Bishop elect did not enter the sncrarium with the other members of the Episcopacy, but, wearing his rochet, ecoupied a chair in the centre of the chancel, with his back turned to the congregation, and supported on one side by Doctor Creighton, of Tarrytown, the recent Bishop elect who had declined the sacred office, andon the other by Doctor Higbie, Assistant Mints'er of Trinity Church, Lishop Mourrain, of Quebec, then read the collect pre- scribed in the rubric of ordination :— Almighty God. who, by thy Son Jesus Christ, didst give to thy holy aposties many excellent gifts, and didst charge them to feed thy flocks. give grace. we beseech thee, toall bishops. the pastors of thy church, that they may diligently preach the word, ana duly administer the godly discipline thereof; nnd grant to the people that they may obediently follow the same that all may receive the crown of everlasting glory, through Jesus Unrist our Lord. Amen Bishop Porter, of Pennsylvania, read the epistle taken from the third chapter and first verse of the first Epistle to Timothy :— ‘This isatrue saying. If aman desire the office of a bishop, he desireth » good work. A bishop, then, must be blemelese, the hurband ot one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach ; not | given to wive, no striker, poi greedy of filthy lucre, but | Tatient, not @ brawler. not covetcus; one that ruleth well his own house, baving his children in subjection with all gravity (¥or if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall be take care of the church of God!) Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride, he fall into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover. he must have a geod report of them which are without, leot he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil, Bishop Wavrrincrast, of Maryland, then read the gos- pel eppointed for tho service, being the twenty-first chap- ter of St. Jobn, beginning at the fifteenth verse. Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than there? He saith unto hit, yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee, Hesaith unto him, feed my lembs, He saith to bim again, the second time, Simon, ron of Jonas, lovest thou me’' He srith unto Lim. yea, Lord, thou knowest that [love thee. He saitia unto him, feed my rheep, He saith unto him the third time, Simon, eon of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, lovest thou me? And he raid unto him, Lord, thou knowest all thinge, thou knowest that I love thee, Jesus saith unto | him, fied my sheep. | The procecdings commenced by the reading of the | ordinary morning rervice by Dr. Hawks, of Calvary | church, Rey, Dr. Vinton read the first lesson, which was taken from the sixty-second chapter of Iraiah. then the choir rang the hymn “We praise Thee, 0 Lord.” The Rey. Dr. Kipp, of Albany, rend the second lesson, being the twen- ticth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, beginning et | the 17th verre, after which the hyinn ‘ O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands,” was magnificently rendered by the | choir, Dr. Bedell recited the creed, and the succeeding | preyers, and then the choir and congregation sang the | following verses :— Arise, O Tord, and now possess | Thy constant place of rest; Bo that not ovly with thy ark, But with thy presence bless’d. Clothe thou thy priests with righteousness, Make thou tby saints rejoice : And, for thy servant David's sake, Hear thy apnointed’s voice, Fair Sion does, in God's estvem, A\l other eeate excel; His place of everlasting rest, Where he desires to dwell. ‘ Her store th’ Almighty will increase, Her poor with plenty bless; Ter seints shail rhout for joy, hor priests His saving health confess, The Right Rev, Bichop Chase, of New Hampshire, was then conducted to the pulpit, and the following four verses of the 9th selection of hymns was sung by tho congregation :— the apestle’s honor’d name, youd heroic fame; Hence dictates the prophetic st Aud hexve the evangelic page, In lower forms, to bless our eyes, Pastors from hence and teachers rise; Who, though with feebier rays they shine, Srill mark @ long extended line, From Ohrist their varied gifts derive, And. fed by him, their graces live; Whiist, guarded by bis potent hand, Amidst the rage of hell they stand. So shall the bright succession run Throvgh all the courses of the sun; Whilst unborn churches, by their care, Shall rise and flourish, large and fair. After the usual prayer— _ ‘ Ph SERMON ‘as preached by Bishop Chase, cf New Hampshire, who took bis text from the First Epistle of Paul toTimo. thy, the first chapter and the fifteenth verse: * This is a faithful saying. and worthy of ull acceptation, that Christ Jerus came into the world to rave sinners,” The latter clnuse of this verse is the announcement and the record of a doctrine which, the Apostle said, is of the greatest posible importance to mankind ; worthy to be received by all, Inthe fullest and strongest sense of accuptation, apd worthy to be cherished and reverenced as the great doctrine of life and light to lost man. In this brief gen. tence, we have ‘teat and comprehensive view of re- vealed religion, it is the formula for expressing and revealing the mercy of God, in the blessed work of re- demption Christ Jesu came into the world to savesin- ners. It ts that true and precious treasure which was said by the holy Apostle to be held in earthen vessels, and is still beld asa sacred trust, in the same manner, and for the same glorious ends, This is the great ele ment of that message which the Apestles were comnranded to carry to men over all the earth. It is the great saying of revealed truth. In connection with this eolemn occa: tion, it cannot. judge, be a Jolie to give our views of the dignity and responsibility of the sacred of- fice; and to an illustration then, of this faith ful saying, let me ask your attention, Tho part of the text now chiefly in view is tho affirmation of what may be considered to be the peculiar and characteristic features of the gospel, and itis the revelation of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. and the Son of man, as the Saviour of sinners. This is the great peculiarity of the gospel God manifested in the flesh ‘Tho sterasl word of truth became incarnate in the world. to do for guilty man what the written law, and the voice of instruction, and the communion of God, from time to time, could n6t do. Jesus Christ came into the world to give himself to them, and to give instruction. so fur as the peouliar nature of his work made it necessary that he should aid by revela- | eddown by the Apostles, and addressing Bishop Wain- to all dark’ lands, and into all the abodes of sin; and to deliver Iteves as the message of God. and a faith: ful seying worthy of alt acceptation. It will conduce to # more Useful view of Unesesfacta, if We consider what are the conrtitvent parts of the work or system of operation hy which Christ wecomplished the plcrious ohject of his mis- sion. What has he done,and what is he doing, and what re- maine, according to the covenant, to be done for the sal- vation of man? Here is a vast field. which, urder a wise fold and fuithfa) minister. overy soul must eater and ex plore, aud appropriate First, we have the eardinal doe- tine of the atonement. Now. as to the atonement, tt is pot my design Lo go into n theological disonasion of tals cardinal point 6f the ehurch system of Christian dovtrine “By the law,” says the Apostle, “is tee knowledge of sin: aid the first objeot of Christ, aa he went about Jedew wad Gadilec. was te convince man of sin, and to show the dark | chambers of that eepulchro which sia hadmade for the sout | of man.

May the remaining years of your life be years of usefulness, and when the King of Saints shail call his ambassador home, may my brothers reception be, “Well done, thou good and faith- ful servant, enter thou intoihe joy of thy Lord.” ‘The following verses of the 9th selection of Psalmy was then sung.by the choir and congregation O, ever pray for Sxlem's peace ; For they shall prosperous be, Thou holy city of our God, Who bear true love to thee, May peace within thy sacred walls ‘A constant guest be found; With plenty and prosperity Thy palaces be crowa'd.
