The steamship Asia, which arrived at a late hour last night, brought three days later advices from all parts of the Old World, full details of which are given elsewhere. The political intelligence by this azrival is ofa more peaceable nature, and there is now every probability that the difficulty between Tarkey and Russia will be amicably adjusted. In Switzerland, however, the signs are warlike. Ex- ‘tensive preparations were making to resist the en- @roachments of the Austrians. Cuban affairs ‘were still the theme of discussion in Parliament. The Bank of England had advanced the rate of dis- fount to 34 per cent. ‘The quotations for cotton were unchanged, and breadstuffs were active. ‘We publish to-day, a full report of the first and geoond days’ proceedings of the Great Southern Con- vention, which assembled at Memphis on the 6th inst. There were over one thousand delegates pre- sent from the Southern and Western States, and the Most sanguine expectations were entertained in refe- rence to its action; but after four days duration it adjourned without effecting any thing definite, ex- cept its approval of the Pacific Railroad. The great ebjects for which it was called, are briefly as follows: Steam communication between the South and foreign ports; a continental depot for cotton—thus taking from Liverpool the monopoly of our great staple; the Pacific Railroad; railroad alliances between the Great ‘West and Northwest and the South; to demand of ‘Congress proper mail facilities for the Western and Southern routes and rivers; the encouragement of Southern institutions of learning, and the establish- ment of a direct trade with Southern ports, as a com- mercial policy to be pursued by planters. These are the principal subjects which were presented for the consideration of the convention; but an unfortunate discussion arose on a question as to which should have the precedence, and a great deal of time was conse- quently lost, The convention, however, decided in favor of the construction of the Pacific Railroad, and adjourned to meet at Charleston next year. After all, we may regard this merely as the commencement of a great Southern movement. The long agony with regard to the enlargement and completion of the canals, is at last over, so far as the Legislature is concerned. The compromise re- solutions for amending the constitution were yester layadopted by the Senate. Buta single voice was ‘aised against them—being that of Mr. Jones, the Aemocratic representative of the Ninth district, be- ‘ween whom and Mr. Cooley such a bitter partizan warfare has of late been carried on, and which originated on this canal question. The moment that the triumphant passage of the resolutions was an- nounced, cannons were fired, and every demonstra- tion of joy evinced by the friends of the canals gathered in Albany. A lengthy debate took place in the Senate an the pilot bill, which wus eventually so amended as to cut out the half pilotage clause, and then ordered to a third reading. The Assembly resolution, ordering twenty thousand copies of the defence of Canal Com- missioner Mather, was agreed to. A discussion respecting the jurisdiction over lauds held by the United States in Brooklyn, wound up the day's business. The feature of the day in the Assembly, and one which bids fair to eke out the session to a much greater length than was anticipated in the early part of the week, was the impeachment case of John C. Mather. In order to enable ourreaders to fully un- derstand this important matter, it will be necessary for them to read the opening remarks of Mr. Champ- lin, one of the committee who preferred the charges, as wel! as the rebutting speeches that may hereafter be made. According to Mr. C.’s statement, thisis a very serious affuir, involving the whole of the Canal Cummissioners; while, on the other hand, it is inti- mated that the defence of Mr. Mather shows up the barnburners in a most curious manner. After this subject has been disposed of the Assembly have re- solved to take up the bill for the better security of life on railroads. Instead of being almost readf to adjourn, it now seems as though our legislaters were just getting fairly to work. Great excitement was produced at New Orleans, last Tuesday, by the arrest of a slave, on information given by a free negro of an intended rising agains the whites. The prisoner was heavily armed, and, on being questioned, acknowledged that a conspiracy existed among twenty-five hundred blacks to attack the city and set it on fire at various points next day, which would be the signal for a general revolt ou the part of the slaves, azainst th masters, throughout the country. Subsequent inquiries led to the belief that the prisoner's statement wa3 a hoax—neverthe- jess, the authorities adopted every precaution to guard against a surprise, and, in addition, arrested some twenty negroes on suspicion of being concern ed in the plot. Further information relative to the affuir will be awaited with great anxiety, especially by those Southerners who have come North to spend the summer,and who are well aware that this is probably the time of year that would be chosen by the blacks for rising against their masters, could they be incited to such a suicidal course by the more aischievously inclined portion of the abolitionists, who never lose an cpportanity of sowing the seeds of discord, so long as they themselves can manage to avoid reaping the malevolent harvest. Additional intelligence from Buenos Ayres informs us that a naval battle was fought between the squad- rons of Urquiza and the Buenos Ayreans, on the 13th of April, in which the former captured two of the five or six vessels belonging to the latter. All oa board were taken prisoners, with the exception of the ad- miral of the fleet, who escaped in a small boat. A rumor was current that the besieged Buenos Ayreans had accepted the mediation of the Brazilian and Bo- livian ministers; but before these functionaries would be able to move in the matter, it was probable the ex- Dictator would not only regain possession of the city, but decay a inajority of bis principal opponents. He dexpatches business ina very summary manner, equally as much so as did his banished predecessor, Rovas. In shanging rulers the unfortunate people merely removed one iron heel from their shoulders and placed another on their heads. Nothing was received by telegraph from Montreal respecting the rec@ption of Father Gayazzi, who was to resume his course of lectures last evening, Alarge number of the Irish Catholics are reported ty have attended a meeting in thet city on Tuesday, tons were adopted deprecating the ¢ provision for the arrest of th hich res of peace hereafter. reward of two hundred dollars for the capture of the persons concerned in the attack on the church last Sunday. ‘The election in Buffalo, yesterday, resulted in favor of granting the loan of one hundred thousand dollars to the Buffalo and Pittsburg railroad. We learn from the fishery regions that the increas- ed facilities offered by the French government have given a great impulse to those engaged in the taking of fish. Two hundred vessels are occupied on the Grand Banks, and forty-eight on St. Peter's Bank, all doing well. Two French steamers of war are cruising in the immediate vicinity, for the pur- pose of protecting the interests of the fishermen. The Baltimore Exchange Company opposes the acceptance of the propositions of the New York and Philadelphia ship-builders for the construction of the steamships for the Baltimore and Liverpool line. A Convention of the owners and managers of se- veral North Western Telegraph lines, is about to assemble in this city, for the purpose of harmonizing the conflicting interests of the companies, and adopt- ing measures to render the lines more reliable and accurate in the transmission of messages. The object is a worthy one, and there is certainly a very wide margin for improvement. Amongst those al- ready here are Professor Morse, Hon. Amos Kendall, Messrs. Speed, Wade, Shaffiner and several others. The Protestant Episcopal Convention of Rhode Island adjourned yesterday without electing a Bishop. Bishop Williams, of Connecticut, was requested to perform the Episcopal duties for the ensuing year. The directors and stockholders of the Harlem Railroad, together with their friends, embracing some three hundred and fifty persons, yesterday proceeded to Chatham Four Corners, where they had an ex- cellent dinner awaiting their coming. Having done justice to the edibles and drinkables, they returned to the city at a late hour last night, highly gratified with their trip. Want of room compels us to omit our reporter's account of the excursion. Governor Seymour having ordered another in- quisition relative to the sanity or insanity of Thomas Neary, it was held yesterday afternoon, in the Court of General Sessions. Sheriff Orsen and Under Sheriff Willett presided. Mr. Blunt, District Attor- ney, appeared for the people, and Mr. Morrison as counsel for the convict. The testimony was very voluminous. The Jury retired at a quarter past twelve o’clock at night, and at a quarter to one this morning they returned, and found—* That he is sane Owing to the excessively crowded state of our columns, we are under the necessity of deferring the publication vf a large amount of local and other in- teresting matter, among which is the report of the trial of Bernard Hagan for the murder of his wife in Brooklyn; description of the Horticultural Society's Exhibition at Metropolitan Hall, together with the list of prizes awarded, &c. Cuba, Spain, England, Mexico, and the United States.—Warlike Aspect of Affairs. The intelligence which we published yester- day from Havana, in connection with the cor- roborative information from other sources, to which we shall advert in this present article, gives to our relations with Cuba, Spain, Eng- land and Mexico the paramount importance of a crisis of impending war. The extraordinary con- juncture of circumstances, incidents, accidents, and State policy, which has brought these parties .together, is but the natural result, of a common cause against our institutions, our commercial prosperity, our power among the nations, and the imminent danger of still farther annexations to our Southern States. First, it appears that Lord Palmerston has brought the home government of Spain toasort of compromise upon the Cuban slave trade. It is reported from various authorities to the southward that Spain has agreed to suspend this traffic, and to substitute the apprenticeship system of the British West Indies, ‘by the free introduction of negroes from Africa, without molestation.” to serve as apprentices for periods of eight, ten, or fifteen years, or more or less; and the ground upon which this ominous move- ment is supposed to rest, is, that as far as it goes. this arrangvaucut WIL vue off the wom quisition of Cuba by the United States, by the introduction of the Jamaica policy of Eng- land, as contradistinguished from the slave- holding system of our Southern States; for the inference is plausible enough. that with the gradual establishment in Cuba of the emanci- pation humbug of Jamaica, the “Queen of the Antilles” will cease to be a desirable acquisi- tion by the southern section of this Union. And in this light we are disposed to believe that there may be substance enough in this aforesaid report to challenge the immediate attention of our government. The violent, evasive and equivocal assault upon the New York Heravp by the Spanish government organ at Havana, betrays a pecu- liar sensitiveness among the Catalans upon this “subject of the slave trade; but it is apparent that the Diario editor does not tell the half that he might disclose were he in a more inde- pendent positiou. The correspondence which we published of Lord Palmerston concern- ing this African traffle with Cuba, has touched the authorities of the island in a tender place. They wince under it; but they cannot evade the question, under cover of their ridiculous and otent of this journal. We trust they will still be enabled to digest abus the debate in the British House of Lords, which we published the other day. And however disagreeable to the Catalans of Cuba may be the hostility of the Heraip as the organ of the popular sentiment of this country upon the African slave trade, it is manifest that the Halaneros have been bronght to the pinch when they must deter- mine either to risk an English blockade, ora qualified abolition of this African traffic, and of African slavery as it now exists in the island. This, we apprehend, is the key to the peculiar bitterness of the Diario. and is thus corroborative evidence to the direct issue of an impending (compact England and Spain. involving the introduction into Ouba of the British West India system of emancipation on the one hand, and on the other the protec- tion of Spain in her sovereignty over the between This is the first branch of our present sab- ject. And let us a word or two. consider the tendencies this British West [adia pol We presume that. fully 1 out, it can only result in the final establ confederated free lack republ the West India Islands, under +} a European holy alliance. here to suggest the mischievousi such a confederation would the slaveholding States of this count fluence would subject the South to perpetualcom- mercial annoyances, toconstant embarrasments, internal as well as external, with their slaves and would inevitably. sooner or later, embroil us ina bloody war in the Gulf. and perhaps in a bloodier extermination of the blacks of the That they would be exterminated, if inflamed to a general insurrection by the North- and their foreign allies, is, at all events, a rational and logical conelusion. of © or empi tion prote or is it nec! fluence which South. ern abolitionis And such being the tendency of this alleged projet of a compromise between England and Spain upon the African slave trade and African slavery in Cuba, does it not behoove our ad- ministration instantly to demand of the British government an explanation in the premises? If there is a justification for the belligerent a.cti- tude of England and France against the de- signs of Russia, as supposed to be concealed in the mysterious movements of Prince Menschi- koff at Constantinople, how much stronger the right and the duty of our immediate interposi- tion in a matter affecting our interests so closely as the future destiny of the island of Cuba. Nor is the second specification of our present indictment inferior in importance to the first. In fact. it may be blended with the first, as but a feature of a grand, comprehensive program- me for the maintenance of a European balance of power upon this continent of North America. In this view, then, we present this second braneh of our subject, to wit :—The fact of an extraordinary understanding of friendship and sympathy between Santa Anna and Spain, and the probability of an alliance, offensive and defensive, between them, contemplating the re- sistance, by arms, of the further extension southward of the boundaries of these United States. On the return of Santa Anna from his exile, and in connection with the singular kindness and import of his reception at Havana, we pre- sented to our readers, from all the circumstan- ces and disclosures attending his recall to power, our suspicions of a warlike understanding on his part with the Court of Madrid. The Diario of Havana oracularly spoke of his purpose to consider the unity and preservation of the Spanish race as the basis of his policy in Mexico, and of institutions analogous to those of Spain- Subsequently we have adverted to the broad hints thrown out by the Diario Espanol, of Madrid, in connection with the belligerent move- ments of Santa Anna, as supporting our original conclusions. And now we have further informa- tion. and more directly to the purpose. It appears that Spain is not only strengthen- ing her inte rior and maritime defences of Cuba with remarkable liberality and activity, but it is said—and the information comes from various sources--that such is her sense of security in the island, that she has detailed several vessels of war to Vera Cruz. What business have they there at this crisis? If this report be correct, we may conjecture that Spain is fulfilling a contract with Santa Anna for the supply of ord- nance, small arms, and munitions of war. We shall know the truth upon this point, however, in sufficient season for all practical purposes; but in the interim, the well authenticated movements of British and Spanish cruizers strongly suggest the necessity of a correspond- ing vigilance in the Gulf on the part of our Navy Department. If Mr. Dobbin is still rusti- cating among the pine barrens of North Caroli- na, we trust he is not beyond the reach of the news of the day, and that he will promptly re- turn tohis post and look up the scattered frag- ments of the Home Squadron. There is a friendly understanding between Spain and Santa Anna. This is conceded by the Spanish official organs at Havana and Mad- rid. There is a feeling of unsatisfied hostility against the United States, and a burning dis- position for revenge against us entertained by Santa Anna. He has substantially avowed it ; and the immense army he is collecting indi- cates a larger field of military operations than the suppression of the straggling revolution ists and border savages. There is an anxious and very uneasy feeling of distrust and hatred ofthis country by all true Spaniards, officials and subjects, concerning Cuba, and a lively sym- pathy with their brethren of the same national stock, and of the same church, in Mexico. Thece are the nndoniable Auto, wich give to all these startling rumors from Havana a de- gree of importance to which otherwise they would not be entitled. All that is required to make the cause of Mex- ico and Cuba the common cause of Spain and Santa Anna, is the consummation of the al- leged understanding entered into, whereby the policy of England shall be established in Cuba. In that event, while her navy will inevitably be required to protect the island, Spain will be very apt to imagine herself sufficiently secure tolend a helping hand to Santa Anna. Al- ready, indeed, it is alleged that Spanish officers are “ filling places near the person and in the army of Santa Anna.” Andwhen we consider the fact that the debt of Spain gives to England a lien upon Cuba, and that the sixty millions due to British creditors from Mexico render her interest in that country a cash investment, we may possibly account for her apparent ap- prehensions of the doctrine of ‘ manifest desti- ny,” 60 widely entertained in this Union. We cannot movg our god Terminus further South without trenching upon English claims and Eng- lish creditors against Spain or against Mexico. We presume that our government is duly ad- vised of all these things, and we shall expect some speedy action from Gen. Pierce and his cabinet in proportion to the exigencies sug- gested. Let our President demand an explana- tion of England in reference to Cuba. and watch the occasion for a similar demand upon Spain respecting Mexico, if the occasion has not already arrived. A proper vigilance may pre- vent a general war; a dclusive sense of secu- rity may, upon some fine morning, find us locked in and locked out ofthe Gulf of Mexico. We earnestly invoke the prompt and serious at- tention of the administration to the threatening aspect of our present relations with Cuba, Mex- ico, England and Spain. Tue Cvsan Jenta—Srartiino Revors.— There are certain startling rumors afloat of busy movements hereabouts, among the order of the Lone Star and the Cuban Junta. Men are said to Le now in this city who were lately seen in active intercourse with the ercoles of Cuba. We have information from Havana that many creoles are leaving the island for the north; and there are also reports of revolutionary dis- turhances inthe Vuelta Abajo, memorable from the invasion of Lop Verily, there isa strong aroma of gunpowder in the air. Will there be war? Acquiryal or Carrars Motony.—Some surprise has beeo expressed that a cave of this apparent magnitude was not provecuted by Mr. O'Conor, the United States Actor ney, We are not aware of any personal reasons why that gentleman ¢id not appear for the goverament; bat t he was engaged prosecuting in another case in the District Court, which was going on simulta with the trialef Captain Melony for three or Mr. O'Conor, however, confided the prosecu tion of Molony to Mesers. Fuiler‘on and Dunning, who. thongh comparatively young at our bar, have bad great experience at the legel profession in Orangs © ty. where Mr. Fullerton filled the position of District Attor ney. The prosecution in this case Jacked neither energy nor ability. we know Marine Affairs. DEPARTURE OF THR ARABIA.—The R M, steamship Ara- bia, Capt. Judking, left at balf-past 12 o’elock yesterday, ith 170 passengers, Talk on Change: Cot‘m sold to the extent of 100 bales. The whole de- eli'ee since the receipt of the Pacide’s news had amounted ty about one quarter of scent. Flour and wheat were active, at steady prices, Freights were also in good de- mand for Liverpool. Gratification was expressed for the final passage of the canal resolutions through the Legislature. ‘There was one small law which ought to be passed be- fore the adjournment, and that was the bill previously introduced to eompel ferry companies on the East and North rivers to have gates placed at the ends of their boats, and also at the ends of their swinging bridges. Gates might be formed of light iron railing, higher than the heads of passengers, which could be so arranged as to swing to the sides of the boat, and also the pier bridges, when net in use. There is no doubt but, if gates were adopted, they would prevent the loss of many lives. The humanity of the companies had not prompted them to provide these precautions for the safety of passengers; the Legislature should not therefore hesitate to pass an act compelling them to do so at once, ‘The rumor regarding the eontemplated insurrection of the negroes at New Orleans, was believed to have been either a hoax, or some inconsiderable affair, greatly mag. nified, The despatch stated that the rumor had caused “arms to be distributed to the police,” when it was per- fectly well known that the gen d’armes, especially in the French part of the city, had been at all times (as its name implied) a regularly armed police force. No city was under better surveillance than New Orleans. After 9 o'clock at night stragglers of all kinds, black and white, were closely looked after; no colored slave was allowed after that hour to be at large without a permit. These rumors, in some sections of the southern country, occurred almost every summer, but generally ended in nothing of moment. re No serious importance was attached to the reported intentions of Spain in assuming hostilities towards the United States in conjunction with Santa Anna and his party, with the view of sustaining her protectorate pledges. A nation whose greatest energies were required to guard and keep down the creole population of Cuba, and to preserve the island to the crown, was in a poor condition to protect Santa Anna even against his own malcontent subjects, much less in a crusade against the Americans. Whatever else might be said of Mexico and the Mexicans, no dictator had ever been long tolerated by them, They might not like, or care much for the Americans, yet they hated the idea of Spanish rule above all other things, The thought of having the royalty of Spain extended over them again, even indi- rectly, would drive them into the most determined revo- lutions, The protected and protectorate would, sepa- rately, have their hands full, without seeking to revenge their principles upon the government and the people of the United States, Asa means of shortening the route to California, and torender communication more frequent, a hope was ex- pressed that the Tehuantepec Isthmus might be speedily opened, Among the variety of items received from Mexi- co, it was satisfactory to perceive that Mexico had pro- ceeded in # favorable manner on the subject, The Crystal Palace Exhibition. In our notice, » day or two since, ef a very curious work of art recently arrived in this country, and intended for exhibition at the Crystal Palace, it was spoken of asa collection of colossal figures designed by Thorwalden, but without any further or more particular description. ‘As the subject has excited considerable attention, it may be proper to add a word or two in explanation, ‘The figures are thirteen in number, representing Christ and the twelve apostles, They are larger than life size, that of our Saviour being twelve feet, and the apostles eight feet in height. Thorwaldsen, whose genius pro- jected this singular werk of art, lived only to complete the models in plaster, and the design of embedying in marble this sublime conception of the sculptor’s genius has not been accomplished. The group is to be placed in the circular enclosure now erecting in the area of the Crystal Palace, and which opens on one of the main aisles. A baptismal font forms part of the collection, and is to stand immediately in front of the figure of the Saviour, The whole will, doubtless, form one of the most attractive, as well as one of the most curious and im- posing groups in the exhibition. Among the collection of curiosities from England, are some that will deeply interest the antiquarian and stu- dent of history. In this class are eight complete suits of ancient armor, that have been preserved as historical relics in that venerable repository of the past—whose existence dates back to the times of William the Con- queror—the Tower of London, Each of these suits of armor, we understand, belongs to # different age in Eng. lish history. They will serve to exhibit the mechanical skill of the middle ages in the fabrication of defensive armor and the weapons of war. Between these} grim specimes of antiquity and our modern military inven tions—between the mace and battle axe of Richard Ceur de Lion, and the Paixhan guns: the ---+ -# ==) ve wressy and Agincourt and Calt’s revolvers, what a history inter venes of progress in the mecbanic and industrial arts, and of painful labor and toil! Two of the suits of armor are to be placed in each of the four galleries overlooking the centre, under the dome, where is to stand Maro- chetti’s equestrian statue of Washington. The French articles, it is understood, will soon arrive. Some of these are rare and perfeetly unique in their kind— the products of the government manufactories ia Franes, whose fabrications stard unrivalled by the industry of the world. Among these are the celebrated Sevres por celain and the world renowned Gobelin tapestry and car- 8. Of the first of these articles, Napoleon Ill. sends one hundred specimens, of the greatest beauty and per- fection of workmanship. Some of the large vases and pictures are said to be worth $10,000. ‘The Godelin tapestry and carpets will require a longer description than we-bave space te give. They are said to be beautiful in the extreme, and superior to anything which can be manufactured in Persia. They have a his- toric as well as artistic interest, their manufacture being traced back to the middle of the fifteenth century, when the practice of an art or trade was called a mystery —e term which may still be properly applied to the manu- facture of these costly textures. The Gobelin carpets are made entire, and have a nap half an inch thick. They sre copied from paintings of the highest merit as works of art. Some of theee carpets require years to finish, and cost from 60,000 to 100,000 franca. They are use only in the roysl palaces of France, and as presents by the Emperor. Those at present in the looms are intended for, the apartments of the Empress Eugenie in the Tui- Teries. ‘The Case of the Convict Thomas Neary, SECOND INQUISITION BEFORE SHERIFF ORSER. Owing to the disagreement of the jury in the former case when the subject of the sanity or insanity of this vrbappy man was wade the subject of investigation, fur- ther representations were made to the Goyerrfor, aud his Exeelleucy gran ed a respite of the execution, and a rescript authorizing the impannelling of another jury. Pursuant to this power, a number of electors of the county were summoned, and met in the Court of General charge lunatic asylum, and am juently not so much ac- p recraeed pb ‘all its com tons and ) from tase fo suis ig ine lank twenty oars; 1€o not rebulect i this in the wenty years; ever being deceived in a case of simulated insanity by Fear pede La aad wan Give corres He eer meen ly to affect ity, but not easy to deceive a person competent skill when examining bis; Thave examined him upon two ; I have seen the man for an hour in the prison; I was in company with Dr. Earl; Ihave also had an interview with Neary alone, for about an hour and three quarters; from the first investigation I had great doubts upon my mind whether the man was sane or in- sane; l expressed these doubts to many persons; at the second investigation I learned that I would be examined as a witness, and I came from the interview with the con- viction that the man was of unsound mind; this is now my professional opinion; I have not seen him since the day of the last interview; if I had visited him from day to day, it is not likely it would alter my opinion. Here the letter of the prisoner relative to Pet ter O wmerly published, was handed to witners ) ve - re that the man is insane, and I f it from opinion’ the entire bisigry of the case, without special reference to that letter; 1 know he is rational on many subjects, but not upon this one of his delusion; if 8 man had a co education, he may solve a problem in Euclid, and yet be insape; I cannot, to an unprofessional person, give a proper idea of this case; I formed my opinion from his conversation, appearance, and the le! together; I may be mistaken, but my professional opinion in that he is insane; my opinion is that insanity {s like other d d that a man must understand ‘it in or- der to give a correct opinion; it is a professional subject just as much as small pox; it would be nearly as dificult for a man like bim to feign insanity as small pox; krew a case of a man fei monomania, or such a de- Jusion as this is; I call thi case of positive monomania; the feigned cases that I ever met were of mania. Cross examined by Mr. Blunt—I am a professor of ob- stetrics, and Ihave devoted more attention to that branch than any other; I went to visit the man in company with Dr. Farle, and I'was furnished with a copy of the letter to Sheriff Orser before I went; the letter directed my atten: tion to a particular hallucination or delusion of the mind, Doctor Earl and I remained about an hour with him; I den’t think that we directed the convict’s attention to the delusion relative to Tansey, mentioned in the letter: Dr. Earl is physician to the Bloomingdale Asylum. and has bad much experience in cases of insanity; I saw nothing to lead me to think him insane except the de Tuslon abeut Tansey; he told me he had written a letter to you (Mr. Blunt); this letter was shown to me; it is near- ly similar to the one of which I had a copy. To Mr. Morrison—I do not recollect a work written by an English officer relative'to cases of soldiers feigning deaf- oe do reeollect one related by Barton Larrey, where the delusion is not organic, but of the mind; the mind does not treat it asa fact; if a man labors under a delu- sion as to voices, he will sometimes treat it as reality, and reply to the voices; # man awaking from a slumber may imagine he hears voices, and reply to them; but it is net a pecubasity of & real delusion that aman will argue br false premises as if they were real. A mathematician of Cambridge was insane, and there was no man more talented upon mathematics. An insane monomania will argue rationally that he is Christ, but he will argue upon false premises. Hatfield was insane, Dut be ad cunning enough to avold the subject. In tho case of Thomas Neary I form my opinion from the review of all the facte; [think he is insane, my opinion is based n his written and oral conversation; if he told me about the voices, and afterwards denied that he heard them, I would think the man to be ina wrong state of mind; M. Escorole has stated that a man’s mind shonld be totally clouded in order to legally excuse him; I did state to Juege Edwards that I had great doubts about Neary’s insanity. (Mr. Morrison re examined the wit- nees upon explanatory points of the cross-examination. } ‘Thomas McDermott sworn—Kuows Neary for the last thirty-five years; also knew Tansey; one evening last October Neary came to my house and told me he was chased by a mob of men, and that he was greatly afraid; be eaid that his wife had got up the mob, and that it headed by Tansey; he slept with me that night; he got up in the night and went to the window, Cy * See what a position my wife is in;” he had no ‘eur smell of liquor off him; upon another occasion he got up and rolled himself in ‘my great coat, and hid under the table, to screen himself, as he said, from the mob. Cross examined by Mr. Blunt—I never saw Tunsey and Neary drunk together; I was not examined at the trial, but I think I told all this to his brother and sister in law; Isaw her examined at the trial; it was in the morning after he had attacked his wife with s knife that he came to my house; I never saw him drink much. Henry Morrison, Esq., Counsellor-at-law, sworn, and ave testimony as to his connection with the case, simi x to that heretofore detailed on the previous inquiry. ‘Mores H. Ramsey, M. D., was sworn, and testified at eat length as to all the peculiar forms of insanity. de fusions, Gallucivations, fatuity, and mental ynbecility, which he had observed in his extensive practice. ‘He was cross-examined by Mr. Blut with great acumen as to their appearances under different circumstances and in various constitutions Father Thomas Millett sworn—He gave his testimony with regard to the delusions or supposed delusions of the convict, which was similar to that published in the ‘Herat’ before, as taken at the first inquisition.

Cross-examined by’Mr. Blunt—I came from Baltimore upon last Friday week.

Dr. Covell, sworn—I have been for over six years phy- sician to the City Prison; I have been in the practice over twenty years; I have seen as many as four und fire cases of aifferent sorts of insanity, om which I pass; I visit here ly; since Neary’s conviction I have seen him daily, and 1 cannot conse entiously say that Mr. Neary is an insane man; I wished I could conscientiously believe that poor Neary was so; Ihave been trying, from the testimony of the doctors, ‘to make myself % #0, but I could not; upon lest Saturday@he told me that be thought the voices were all come from imagination; he said it was hardly worth while to mention about them; he left the imprestion upen me tbat it was a mere floating imagina- tion not worth remembering; from my previous tien, and since my attention has been led to it Sessions, at five o'clock last evening. Sheriff Orser presided, assisted by Under Sheriff Willett. Mr. Bunt, District Attorney, attended upon. the part of the people, and Henry Morrison, #q., a8 counsel for the convict Neary, After some preliminaries, Sheriff Wilet tendered the legal oath to the following Jurors:— ¥. M. Brown, J. Warren, . P. Brinkerhoff, James Ward, H. H. Casey, 'W. H. Wisner, F. Tracey, Barrett Eldridge, 3. Van Pelt, W. B. Thompson, 3. Van Norden ©, A.

I cannot answer much about thore letters on Tansoy; I formed my opinion upon prac- relation to the particular case, he should at once chal- lenge himeelf, and retire. Mr. Morrison inquired if the newspaper report of the testimony of Dr. Farle, at the first inquisition, would be admitted by the District Attorney, as the ductor was not in town? Mr. Blunt read the report given in the Herarn, and said he would allow it to be tendered to and received by the jury. Mr. Morrison then addressed the jary in a lengthy speech, reviewing his connection with, and exertion in, the eae since fils first assignment as counsel by the judge at the Court of Oyer and Terminer. He pointed out the absence of any pecuniary interest which an as- signed counsel had in a éase. Fdward Neary, son of the convict, sworn ard examined by Mr. Morrison—I am son of the convict and of the de ceased woman; I was present at the attack of my father on my mother, Question—What was his manner on that occasion? Mr. Blunt objected, under the statute, to this line of examination, or the reply by the Court. Iam here to al low all latitude to the counsel, which # humane dis- charge of my duty will allow inthis case, I will go into all questions relerring to heriditary insanity, wounds previously received as cansing this insanity, &., if the insanity developed itself after conviction, But I cannot permits rebutting of the former trial, at which all the evidence that could be procured was procured, Mr. Morrison replied. ‘The witness continued—My father said, when he hid my mother killed, that ‘ if Peter Tansey came in then, he would give him as hard a battle; this was after he killed her; I saw him raive the back window the night before; I thought I saw him looking out, but I am not right sure; Leannot ray what his wanner was, ss it was dark; he had his head out of the bed-room window, and was look- ing into the yard; Iraw him go to the bed again; I do not know what the hour was, as T was kened out of my sleep; next day my mother said that he was very un- easy and that he was going to have one of hi ng fits, Croseesemined by Mr Blunt—I was examined npoa the trial, and told ail that my mother told me then; I knew Peter Tansey; Teaw him inthe old eountry more than ten yenrs ago; I came here with my father two years ago next December; Taney came here afterwards; after he a he wee frequently in my father’s y were in the habit of going out and getting d my mother did not wieh him to come in there; when Tansey would come to drunk, my mother would wieh him to be put out; my father would wish him kep | tical observation of the man; I think the delusions are floating out of his mind; an insanity must be feeble if not discovered in a few months. Mr. Eemonds, affirmed—I am Warden of the city prison for over six years; 1am opposed to capital punishment very much ; I never dircovered any mark or indication of insanity in Thomas Neary; I may have two handred aud thirty-five totwo hundred and forty under my charge: I think that Neary prefers death to perpetual imprison: meni Mr, Wood's testimony upon the former occasion was referred to, and was corroborative of Mr. Edmonds’. The District Attorney summed up in a very logical and brilliant speech on the part of the people. Unéer-Sheriff Willett charged the jury, who retired, but could not agree up to a quarter past twelve o'clock. They then into court, and inquired as to the legal mean- ing of the words of the inquisition, which Mr. Blunt ex- ploined, * ‘Ata to one o’eleck this morning they returned, aud del RAMs flowin iti VERDICT UPON THE INQUISITION. “We find tat the raid convict is sane.”’ ‘The finding will be duly forwarded to the Governor, who of course will not now as regards any further respiten. At the request of Mr. Morrison the jury was polled, when they unanimously agreed to the finding. They were then discharged.
