Father Gavazzi delivered bis sixth lecture on Wednes- dey evening, in the Broadway Tabernacle, before a very large and respectable audience. The subject of his lec- ture was Mariolatry and the Worship of Saints, especial- ly of Saint Patrick. After his Italian address, be pro- | cooded to give his lecture in English. Why is the Virgin Mary wershipped? The Virgin Mary is worshipped be- eause she is co-redeemer, co mediator, and all powerful‘ im the Christian world. I find in ancient prophecy that Christ was called to fulfil his own work as Redeemer, { but I never did-read that the Virgin Mary was called to take part im the redemption.

Judge Edwards and Ald. Sturtevant and = THE LETTR&S IN TMH CASE. Arai 7.—An order was issued to Coroner Hilton yoa- | terday, to show cause why he should not Se OP to | the District Attorney certain letters in his ion, | Mr. Sanxey, counsel on bebalf of Mrs. Melville, pro- | tested against the production of those pavers, as’ boing | | her private property and irrelevant to case. | Mr. Hilton (coronor) said that on taking possession of | the papers, be read them and found that they had no | | bearing on the case. He was called on Mrs. Melville’s | | counsel not to give them up to the District Attorney, and | in accordance with the usual custom he had resolved to return them to the parties entitled to them. Mr. Jas. T. Brady, who is leading counsel in the de- | fenee, asked the Coronor if any of the letters had refer- ence to De Corn. | The Coronor replied in the negative, but said that in | one letter, which he was willing to give up, there was | reference tos person. Many of the letters were from the South to Mrs. Melville, before she was married. Mr. Brady asked the Distriet Attorney by what autho- rity the letters of a lady, in a very delicate state of | health, had been taken out of her room without any | warrant. He, Mr. B., could not discover any law autho- | rizing the taking away of papers even belo: toe party charged with the highest erime. He contended, | at some length, that the District Attorney had ne right | | to interfere with the Coronor, and it might lead to very | bad consequences if the presecuting officer were allowed | to attend at inquests where the accused may have no counsel. If, for instance, he (Mr. B.) was charged with a murder in Broadway, where was the law authorizing a search in bis house for his private papers to drag his | whole life before the community? He submitted that he Would be justified in the search, even to death. The Distriet Attorney said these papers i portant, if not actually necessary, for the trial. He had, on a former oveasion, to thank | for his official duties, and he was at a loss now to know | my there should be an apparent self and the Coroner. The District Attorney then reter- | red to Whaton’s Criminal Law, p. 815, p. od also to the cases of Webster, and the applicability of the letters in thle case, he (the Dis- trict At ‘could imagine a case of this description— that an individeal, in broad might shoot ano- { daylight ther, and should fiee; they maybe strangers ‘to cach | other.

Suppose the widow of the deceased wan called to the | stand to oxculpate the would it not be neces | sary that the proseoution abouid show complicity by the production of those letters? He was mot aware of any law ‘that made the Coroner the custodian of amy property but that which is found on the deceased: the Coroner aliould and all property over to the City Treasurer; be was not | aware of any law that made the Coroner the custodian of | any documents pertaining to the trialof the case. They should be deposited in the archives of the court having nce of the crime. ir. Brady replied, contending that there was no evi- | dence to show that these letters would be admissible on | the trial of De Corn, as against the character of Mrs. | Melvilio; but he would sesert that if such an attempt | were made it would prove as innoouous as any attempt | upon the fair fume and reputation of any other spotloss | woman. Mr. Brady referred to Rev. Stat. 270 and sec. 35, as to the power of the Court, and contended that would look im vain for any authority in this Court to | make an order on the Coroner for the production of these | papers. After some further remarks, the learned coun- | wel referred to Roseoe’s Crim. Ey., p. 79; ¢th Howard’s State Trials, p. 17. ‘The District At had read the letters, and upon | his responsibility he declared that the action of | them was highly important to the prosecution of this | case. If they were not Dreduoed, and the Prosecution | failed, let the responsibility fall on who deserves it. | T have done all that T could do, and my “withers will be | wnwrung.”’ The Judge inquired if these letters had been read at the inquest, and the Coroner that they had not. | The Court, after a few pr ry remarks on the duties of coroners and magistrates, said that the Coroner is required to return all retognizances and examinations | takem before bim, te the Court of Oyer and Terminer. | The question, then. is sMoply, are these letters part of | the examination? That is the reason the Court asked | | | | the Coroner if bad been read at the examination. The Coroner says not. The Court have methingto do with the relevancy of the letters in the case, and as to the bad effects the non-production of the letters may aye on the prosecution, if the Court has no power to interfere, why, it cammot do eo.

It appeared in evidence that the deceased wa: very intemperate man, and, when under the influenoo | liquor, would abuse his wife and squander his money. He juently of late threatened to commit suicide, and on Tuesday afternoon carried his threat into execa- tion, having just before had a quarrel with his wife rela- tive to the rent of their place.

About the time of the publication of the | second edition, Professor Webster made confession of his guilt, and injured the sale of the pamphlet.

The total was 76,900 tons, and the vessels 187, there being, besides American and English, French, | Danish, Hamburg, Spanish, and Dutch. The tea your commis- 57,695,000 pounds.

The bridges are constructed for a double track and for the balance of the line a double track will not cost to exceed $60,000, exclusive of the superstruc- ture. ‘The Board estimate the receipts from the 1st Jan- uary to the Ist July, 1868, at...... 5,000 To which add balance en hand... 8,680 mie cetera satis ck eee faites 969,680 1e expenses for repairs and su] jon duri the same time are fed atiivedercasescs 5,00 | Leaving available on the Ist of July next......$54,680 | _ Little more than sufficient to pay the 3 per cent inter- est on the $160,000 of antici; indebtedness and 8 per cent dividend on the stock. ‘The gross earnings of this Company from July 1, | 1852, to January 1, 1853, amounted to $31,119. There have been charged to’expense account, the past six months, for repairs, supervision, new work about stations and ballasting, $23,689, of which about $13,000 are chargeable to the two last items, and might with propriety have been charged to the con- struction account, thus making the net earnings for the past six months $20,430, sufficient to have paid three per cent dividend on the stock. The Board, however, thought it better not to increase the indebt- dness of the Company on account of the above, work, believing that the receipts for the next six months, (including_$3,680 on hand, after paying the interest on the indebtedness of the Company up to the lst of July, 1853,) will be sufficient to pay at least eight per cent dividend during the year com- mencing the Ist of July last, exclusive of the ameunt appropriated as above, making the net earnings for the year commencing the lst of January last 11 per cent. This result, when it is considered that for five months of this time the road had noconnection west, with a strong competition on the Lake, demonstrates that, under the most unfavorable circumstances, this | road will pay large dividends. The monthly earnings of this road, from Jannary | 1st to April Ist, 1853, has been as follows :— 95,462 40 Jonnary.. .Pa February... | $18,357 92 March.....Passengers.... 12; “ Freights azd mail: . 11,000 00 | $23,274 97 This road is only twenty miles in length, and is of it will be observed, is very large. The Canadian government, having abandoned the threatened policy of retaliation, now proposes a re- duction of duties, entering largely into the provincial revenue, and a re-arrangement of the canal tolls, with the view of offering a bonus on navigation via | the St. Lawrence. It is proposed to allow goods going upwards, through the St. Lawrence canals, to pass the Welland Canal free, and to allow goods downwards, passing the Welland Canal, to go through the St. Lawrence free. The duties on re. fined sugar are to be reduced from 14s. to 10s., and on other sugars from 9s. to 6s. per cwt.; on molasses from 3x. to 2s.; and other articles in proportion. It | is supposed the measure will become a law. The Lehigh Canal has brought down this season, to April 2, 8,507 tons of coal. | The Boston Journal gives the following informa- tion relative to Lake Superior copper eompanies:— Attention lately has been particularly called to the va- copper companies, which are considered by those most conversant with these matters as the most promis- ing investment. The abandonment of the copper mines of England and Australia has greatly enhanced the value of our own, and stimulated enterprise by the promive of large returns, It may be indeed aid this promise is in the course of fulfilment, Pittaburg, (better known as the ‘Cliff Mine,””) promises to increase its already dividends, The Minnesota, prinetpally owned in New Yor has declared a dividend of $80, the par value ef the sha: being $22.

These are appended to this report, condensed into a form to show at a glance the dead it and the movement of the bank and each of its beanches on the 12th of Fe! a It will be perceived that a very and profitable part of the business of the bank in New Orleans] is transacted through the branch in the Second Municipality, and that ita loans, made through the branches, and particularl; through that in the Second Manicipality, are mus! beyond the line bed in the charter of the bank, for the proportion of business to capital, and also exhibit a large excess of the joint business of the parent bank and branches beyond the charter limitation. It is worth a particular remark that the branch in the Second Munici- pality has, upon an capital of $100,000, loaned to its own di , and. those of the parent bank, the sum of $266,055, or two and a half times its capital. The committee cannot leave this subject witheut at least alluding to grave questions ap) ing to this in- stitution, which have been much debated from time to time, but never judicially examined and authoritatively settled. Has the bank a right to erect, in the place where its own business is conducted, another bank under the name of branch, with powers as comprehensive as its $f | own; ‘and with this, the consequent right of multiply- ing itsalf indefinitely ‘in the same city?” Are the privi- legos which havo been exercised under the act of 1860, in relation to the establishment ofa branch at Baten Rouge, whereby the bank claims an exemption from the limita: tions imposed by its charter upon the loans made through its branches, lawfully claimed and exercised? Upon points of so much intricacy, the committeo are in- dis to express ‘positive opinions, but they have no hesitation in saying that there ought to bo a judisial de- termination of those points. In what form ii should be sought, it is not thelr province to point out; but they insist that the construction of law ought to be rigidly meat against powers so dangerous pe license so un- imited.
