Although the weather was most unfavorable to the eecasion, the attendance was very numerous, After the performance of the usual religious ceremonies, in which Rev. Dr. Price and Rey. Messrs. Eigenbrodt and Camp | assisted, Charles M. Tracy read ,the ninth annual report of the Board of Managers. This document represented the so- @ety to be ina prosperous condition, although the ex.” penses of the past year were increased over thos of former years. The managers acknowledge the reccipt, | since their last report, of $4,952 47, being an increase of | $817 86 on the amount received the preceding year. | ‘With these means we have been enabled to sustain the three branches of the mission, and reach the close of the | year out of debt. It must, however, be allowed us to Say that the upholding ot two cospels, the payment of dock rents, other indispensable charges, compel us to the salaries of the three clergymen in this service ‘en the most narrow basis of missionary subsistence; and, while prastising the strictest economy of expenditure, we Jove still watched the moderate flow into the treasury with unceasing interest, lost it should fail to supply our meeda.

The case for the prosecution bere closed, and the Court took a recess tor half an hour. AFTERNOON SESSIONS. Mr. Palmer opened the case for the defence, the theory of which was that the deceased was a woman of violent temper. and that she had seized the pistol from the man- tel piece, and that in a scuitie between them it went off, apd deceased was shot, Bridget Rourke deposed to the bad and quarrelsome temper of the deceased and that she saw her 0a one oc- casion throw a tumbler at the prisoner; saw them several times fling at one another. Cross examined by the Distriet Attorney.—Did not see aiveeralt catch his wife by the hair; had seen him chase er.

Dir. Phillips called Coroner Hilton to'prove that in the pocket of the deceased was found the key of a drawer, iu which drawer the Coroner found power, bulls and caps. Mr. Hilton, however, was not present. ‘the District Attorney said that where there are four Ccrouers, he did not see why one of them could not be spared to attend us a witness.on a case of this impor- tance. He, (Mr. Blunt,) would admit the fact, if the counsel desired it, as the evidence would cut both ways ‘The testimony on the part of the prisoner here closed. Capt. Flandrow, re-called by the District Aitoraey, posed that the pistol produerd, te the, one taken from the prisoner; one barrel (the left) is discharged; the other is still loaded. ‘The District Attorney said he would send and have the contents of the loaded barrel drawn. [The barrel was then drawn, and the District Attorney aid it was proper for him toy stute that it contained nothing but powder aud wadding | Mr Thillips then proceeded to addrecs the jury upon behalf of th prisoner, contending that the prooability was as defence showed—that the explosion of the pistol took place in a geuille between the prisoner and the do- ceused. The District Attorney then proceeded to sum up the case for the prosecution, which ie said prevented a melancholy picture of conjugal quarrels, and an unbappy state of life, resulting from the habit of intemperaace. He reviewed the evidence at considerable length, and con- tended that the crime in this instance came under the first subdivision of murder. Judge Edwards, in charging the jury, said that it xeem- ed from the testimony in the case that the domestic re- lations between the deceased and the prisoner had not been harnonious; they had frequent and violent quar- rele: they were both maze or less prone to intemperate ha the deceased was a woman of large stature—uot inferior in that respect to the prisoner. It would appear also that on more occasions ne she was the aggres- vor; that she assailed her husbas seen pursuing her with an axe in his hand, and she flying from him. It was with persons between whom the mutual relations of man and wife existed that these | scenes cecuried, The proof shows that on two nights pre vious to the ocearrence in question Mrs. Fitygerald had not slept at home: ehe slept with her neighbor, Mrs. Hardy; she bad not been érizking at that time, ‘The next we heawof her is that rhe was at the house of Mc. Reash; We Hext te at Ue HUUEL ve st. Dolan, thea, wt tn where ecreams were heard: the re; ort of a pistol folip ved, and rhe was found dead. ‘The proof is that she was killed, and that the was killed by the discharge of a pistol The physician says that on taking off her skull, he found in the head two tlugs. A pistol was found on the pri oner, and no other pistol was discovered. The presumption is, therefore, that the one found on the prisoner is the ong by which’she met her death, acd the only question for you is, whether it was discharged by him, and, if it was, whether the act comes under the crime’ of murder or manslaoghter. The evidence is entirely i ial, but circumstantial evidence anay be os tatisfastory as positive evidence. It is, however, neces- rary for a jury lo find a complete chain of circumstances; there must be no link wanted tormake it conclusive of guilt; the circumstances must be inconsistent with any | reasonable hypothesis of the defence; not inconsistent With what is possible, but inconsistent with what is pro: bable. The theory of the defence here is founded on the statement of the prisoner which is not admissable as evidence; but the reason it is recvived is that if the party is innocent he may be able to state a hypothesis consts- tent with his innocence. He states that the deceased took the pistcl from the mantel piece and attempted her own life; that he endeavored t6 prevent her, and in the struggle she was killed The learned Judge then reviewed | the testimony, and said, is thie consistent with the de- fence/—is it consistent with human action, as it is ordi- narily developed, that the circumstances occurred as he | states? If you should come to the conclusion that the | supposition presented by the prisoner is reasonable, that you cannot find him guilty, then it will be unnecessary for you to proceed further. But on the other hand, if youthink otherwise, you will say what is the uature of the crime. The Judge then defined the crimes of murder and man- slaughter in their various degrees, tatute, and continued to say the, case comes to this :— Do the circumstances proved here show that the prisoner was guilty of killing the deceased? Do they prove that the prisorer did it with premeditated design It‘so, then he is guilty of murder. If not, and that he did it in the heat of passion with a deadly weapon, withont the design to effect death. why then he will be guilty of manslaughter in the third degree. If you believe the prisoner guilty, no matter of what degree of crime, then you will ray so on your oaths, regardless of the consequences. If mercy is to be extended, that is the province of the executive, The jury retired at'about a quarter to 6 o'clock. At twenty minutes past seven they came into court, having previously sent a-written communication to the judge. ‘Judge Edwards said—All T can do in auswer to your in- quiry is to read the statute. The Judge then read tho statute again, and said that of manslaughter had no re- ference to this case. If they think the evidence here shows tke prisoner guilty of the erime of murder, cer- tainly it is their duty to find him so. The sovereign power of the State is to define the punishment; the duty of the jury is to find the verdict; the duty of the court is to pronounce the sentence. The jury sgain retired, but as they intimated that there was no probability of their agreeing. the court separated, directing that they should be sent for when required. At the time this side of our paper was sent to press, the jury were still locked up, and had not agreed. Theatrical Musteal.

Waldron and fisteu ‘sre very active and energetic, and being well known to posrers both tact and talent, the public have full confidence in their managerial abilities. The pieces selected for this evening are ‘William Tell,” with Mr. Kady as Tell, and Mrs. Parker as Tell’s wife. The en- tertainments conclude with the extravaganza of “Lola Montez.”” BroapwaY THEATRE.—Mr. Forrest, who appears this evening for the forty:third time, during whieh he has wayed to very good houses, is announced to-night to sustain his great character of Baptista Febro, in the tra gedy of the ‘Broker of Bogota.” Mr. Conway will ap- ia as Antonio Cabarero, and Mad. Ponisi as Joanon. lias Price will dance a pas seul, and the amusements will conclude with the farce of “’Twas I.’ An immense audience may be avticipated, National, THEATRE —-The new oriental mythological spectacle called the ‘“Armorer of Tyre. or the Oracle and its Priest,” was produced. last evening, with new and Paeat scenery. The theatre, which has been painted throughout in a very handsome manner, was crowded in every department. Mr. W. G. Jones sustained the cha- racter of Gio, and Mrs. Nichols that of Marina, and the other characters were filled bya fine stock compan. ‘The piece throughout was ably performed, and the si nery is excellent, particularly the grand rquare and the ruins of the old city, the revels of the priests and vas tals, the palace stormed and laid in ruins, &e. In fine, the manager seems to have expended a great deal of money in the display of this piece, and will, no doubt, bo well repaid for bis enterprise, as ‘it will have a long and successful run. The en'ertainments commenced with the comedietta of the “Miveries of Human Life.” It will he repeated to-night, when, no doubt, the house will be filled to overflowing. Wartack’s Turaten.—This ably managed and proape- rous concern contianes to be largely patronized, and the audiences ennerally testify their pleasure by enthusiastic applause ‘The five comedy called “Old Heads and Yourg Hearts,’ will commence the entertainments. Although the characters ip this piece are all excellent in their way, and will be filled by artists of the first stamp inthe draina, yet Blake's representation of Jowse Rural is worth the price of admission.

During the performance at the National theatre, Phila- delphia on the 16th instant, of the opera of ‘Lucia di Lammermoor,” the scenery took fire, but the flames were promptly extinguished, not, however, before con- siderable alarm was created. Pozzolini was on the stage at the time, and elicited round of applause by his ef- ficiency and presence of mind. Board of Supervisors. April 18.—His Honor, the Recorder in the chair. The minutes of the last were read and proved. Resolved, That the Comptroller be directed to draw his warrant for $60, in favor of John Ridden, for services ren- dered as secretary to the Board of Assessors for 1863. Resolved That the Register certify. in the usual man- ner, the bills of elerks for indexing done by order of this Board, up to this date, upon the same being found correct. The Board then adjourned to 4 o’clock on Monday next, FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, MONEY MARKET. Monpay, April 18—6 P. M. The stock market opened this morning moderately buoyant and active. There were plenty of sellers; but the class of buyers was one not calculated to guaranty much permanence to the slight improvement in prices. ‘There are no outsiders of consequence in the street, and the fancies are pretty well distributed among weak holders, Most of the large operators have for some time past been selling out, and many have been selling short ‘The fact that there is such an immense short interest in the street, may put the fancies up several per cent, An advance produced by such a course cannot be but tem- porary, as the stocks would full into the hands of the bulls upon a more inflated market, and they would be obliged to carry them, or let them down for the parpose of attracting purchasers. Parties who have heretofore been holders of large lots of the leading fancies, beve made a clean sweep, and weaker parties have now the burden on their shoulders. They do not pessess the means to carry them for any length of time, or the ability to get up combizations for arise, that the strong houses in the street do, and any improvement which may be realized while stocks are 0 situated, cannot be of a strong or healthy character. We may see a movement up to-day, aud & movement down to-morrow. This will probably continue until the appearance of the money market, and financial affairs generally, are sufficiently favorable to warrant decided action on the part of strong bodies of specula- tors. Things are approaching that point, but the time has not yet come. At the first board today, Canton Company ad- vanced 34 per cent; Florence and Keyport, 34; Nicaragua Transit. 34; Cumberland, 14; Phenix, {; Herlem, 34; Norwich and Worcester, 34; Erie Railroad, 4{; Hudson River Railroad, 14; Michigan Central Railroad, 2; Roches- ter, Lockport and Niagara Falls Railroad, 1. There was a small sale of Brunswick Land Company at 15 per cent, anadyance of 1 per cent. on previous sales.. Hanover Bank is steadily working up again. In railroad bonds we notice a little more activity. Erie and Hudson River bonds command more attention thau any others, but we have no change of importance in market value to record, except in Erie Convertibles, 1862, which have improved one per cent since Saturday. The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of port to-day amounted to $140,109, 64; payments, $62,622 82—balance, $6,622,127 19, F The custem house return of Toronto, Canada, for the 5th inst , shows an import of £23,669, against £10,137 for the corresponding quarter of 1852, being an increase of £13,532. This large increase is at’ributed to the action of the facilities afferded by the bonding laws of the United States, by which merchants are enabled to receive their goods early in the spring. ‘The Delaware and Hudson Canal Company have issued their circular for the season, proposing to deliver their coal at Rondout, by the cargo, at the following rates per ton — After To July 1.

The total value of the foreign exports from Baltimore for the week ending on Thursday, was $109,175, exclu- sive of the cargo of the bark Linwood, valued at $82,600, and of the bark Margaret Hugg, valued at $46,256, both of which cleared coastwise for California. Including these the total value is,$238,031. The export of bread- stuffs for the week comprises 12,934 barrels of flour, 1,376 barrels of corn meal, and 6,604 bushels of corn. Shipments of coal on the Lehigh canal to Saturday Inst were, for the week, 13,260 tons, and for the season, 21,857 tons, being an increase of 12,555 tons over the shipments to the corresponding time last year. The Lehigh canal bas now been navigable for about three weeks ; but oper- ations have been much curtailed by the delay in opening the Delaware division of the Pennsylvania canal. Into this canal, water was begun to be let on Monday last, and the portion extending from New Hope te Bristol has beon filled. But, upon attempting to fill that portion of the canal which extends from Easton to New Hope, it was found that, in consequence of the defective workmanship of the lock recently built at Uhler’s, it was necessary again to draw off the water, and a further delay of ten or twelve days will probably be required to get the canal in condition for the passage ef loaded boats, In the mean- time, the business of the entire region depending upon the Delaware division is suffering, and the loss in tolls to the State will probably be equal to the cost of construe- tion of the new lock. The Reading Railroad Company brought down, for the week ending on Thursday, 28,483 tons, and the Schuylkill Navigation, for the week, to the same time, 18,699 tons. The tonnage tor the week by the three lines is 60,532 tons, and for the season 469,230 tons, ‘The trade is moving on, but not as brisk as it was sup- posed it would. The demand for white ash lump is good but the red ash trade is comparatively dull. In some of the markets the stocks lying over will last nearly to May. Prices, however, remain firm, both st Pottsville and at Richmond. So far the trade remains behind that of last season, upwards of 43,000 tons.

Nothwithstanding the large shipments of merchan- dise and the great increase in value, compared with the corresponding period Jast year, the excess of imports continues very large. For the month, it will not vary Thuch from five millions of dollars, unless some great change takes place in the movement of foreign goods. The limited exportation of specie tends materially to » reduction of the aggregate. It isa very curious fact, jm connection with the heavy importation of foreign goods this season, that very little specie has been shipped, and foreign exchange has been pretty stationary at very low points. This is beyond our comprehension. The montl: of April is ueually the time for making remittances im payment for importattons, and we have been looking for an important advance in rates for sterling bills and an increased shipment of specie. Thus far our anticipations have not been realized, and indications of an easier money market are already quite plenty, At present the + but it is the impression that, rae ube nertizty or ninety Gaye, we shall have ea great an abundance of money as we have months.
