Massachusetts State Temperance Convention. Granda Rally of Anti-Liquor Men at Sp:ing- ela. FROM OUR SPECIAL REPORTER. Sraivormp, Mass., June 22, 1863. EVENING SESSION—FIRST DAY. Notwithstanding the tact that the heat of the weather had considerably abated, and extra handbills were posted about the streets, the people in Springfield manifested ‘the most supreme contempt for the Convention, and the ‘hall was not #0 full in the evening as it had been in the afternoon. A few of the fair sex, however, honored the Maine-acs with their presence. ‘The proceedings were opened with prayer by Rev. Lyman Beecher, of Boston. ‘The resolutions having been read again, J. B. Meawive, of Connecticut, took the tivor, as he said, to say a word upon downtrodden, rum drinking Connecticut. He paid several other compliments of tne same kisd to his native State. He aleo wanted to know if it was true that there were be- tween forty and fifty groggeries im Springfield. (A voize —“Too true!) This had been stated in the Connecticut Legislature, and this was the worst blow that the friends of the law had ever had. The opponents of the law had atated that it was foolish to pass a law that could not be executed in Massachusetts. Mr. Merwine got up very be ic the skies of metaphor, and ‘ell dowa as suddenly as he rose. The “‘star’’ of the evening, Rev. Mr Wowcorr, of Provi- dence, now came forwara was received witn consider- ableapplause. Mr Wolvoct apologised for coming across ‘the State line, and seid be had deen irresistably drawa to ‘this place. He now found himself, for the fourth time this year, occupying toe platform of a Maice Law cen- vention. He knew net that he could say aaything new on this subject, but he begged the indulence of the audience, while he said ® few words in the cause nearest to his beart It is a curious fact in the ral govera- ment of God, that every great enterprise had its kindred causes and affinities. ‘Ihis was ulustrated by the simple story which has now arrested the atteution of the world, applause), which though at first way only intended as the simple protest of a geutie and femiaine Leart agasiast foul abuse, bad now been used to teach the lessons of freedom to all the nations, and which nad been added by the Pepe of Rome to the ex purgatory index —the oscupant of the chair of St. Peter ig astonished by the little vol- ume known as Uncle Tom’s Cabin. (Cheers and applause.) ‘It was as well illustrated by the temperance cause. The day was carried long ago in the field of the progress, and the great results of tuis enterprise were unthought of when it was commenced. First it bad imbued the pulpit and the press with the spirit of enlarged philanthropy. Go back thirty years and examine any collection of ser mons, and you will find them filled with nothing but the- ological dogmas. 1 would be the last to oppose the ele- ‘ments of » but there could ba no Christianity without humanity, und there was need of more chariiy in the pulpit, and this had been brought asout by temperance and reform. The first sermon that was reached on this sudject was in 1806, when a poor man was found dead, fiozen in the snow, with a jug of rum by his side. This was a new theme for this pious Vonnecti- cut divine He preached and published his discourse va the evil effects of ardent spits. and since that time this cause bad brought the pulpit daily in conjunction with the popular heart, so tlrt it is now singular to Snd a divine who wraps bimeslf in rigid couserva- tiem, and now the pulpit makes itselfy heard against fashienable vice. The same might be said of the press. Once the brilliant creations of genius lacked that delic: cy which tow characterizes them; and the same is true with regard to editors, even of newspapers, whose aims are political and commercial, and whose columns are ai ways open to temperate discussions upon this, as well as other subjects. In other high places this influence was also felt, aud it had now become an axiom that the righ:s of humanity should be the ideal of a Christian republic. Applause.) The first principle of every goverament wa: tw protect ita citizens. and even in the deserts of the Eas the American tiag was respected; why should we not be ected at home? Foreign euemies were no more to be than insidious domestic foes, and in consecrat- ipg our legislation to so noble a purpose as the Maine law, one of the greatert ends of government was aa- swered. Mr. Wolcott clo-ed by congratalating the Con- vention upon the brilliant prospects of the cause. Its march was onward and upward. Rev Dr. Jonny lopp of Pitt-field, foliowed. Mr. Todd's speech Was eminently practical, He announced that he was ove of the old guard in the temperance army, hav- ing seen twenty-six years service, and he had seen brandy sling mixed on a coffin. with the dead in it; and the bardest work he ever bad was to abolish rum at funerals in his town. That’s where he began. The whole town was mortgaged, and all for rum. Waen they found ou: their respousivilities they became a new peo- ple. This little reed bad grown up into « larze tree, and touishing. We are not yet satisted with the want that it should spread ail over the at the people should be educaced to it; let law twenty five years, and this nation will stand higher, freer, and nobler, than any nation that ever looked up to heaven. True, some objectious are , made against the law, axd our great cities, New York and Boston, stand up against it. Why? It is the power of Mammen—short-sighted Mammon; he cannot see that ha would be ricber with the law than withouit. Let us have the law 25 yearr and Mammon hiaseif qill ike it. Whether he does or does not, we will have the law, and New Yu: and Boston may as well kaow it The secoad difficulty, it is urged, is that the jaw cannot be executed. Way not? Hannibal led the armies of Carthage over the Alps, | and thuncered at the gute- of Rome, on vinegar and wa- ter, and capnot you Bunker Hill folks duas much’ There is a cold.wa’er generation coming up, (spplause,) and they ‘will teach people the law. They are Nuzarites from thair mother’s womb; they are no louger bora in rum; they no longer live and die iu rum. It will all be right bye and bye. Our hope is in progress—in the spread of uaiversal humanity. The light shail come, though not perhaps in our day. Mr. Keiioca, of Ohio, was the last speaker of the even- ing. He is a good stump orator, but mis speech was a great failing off from the polished a¢dress which prece- Ged it. He gave Dr. Beecher a strovg puff for his six short sermons on the vse of ardent spuits, an eceeatri ty in which all the speakers indulged a great many times; itwas rather tedious after the twenty-fifth time or so. The reporter suffered +o much trom Mr. Kelloyg’s speech, that he will not bore the Hexatp readers with any portion of it The convention adjourned, at tea o'clock, till nine o'clock Thursdsy morning. SECOND DAY. Sprincrrenp, June 23, 1853. MORNING 8: 10N. The Convention met at 9 o'clock, but was not called to order till near 10, There was a great deal of grumblicg about celaying of business, and one delegate sharply said that if anything was to be done it was time to gst about jt The proceedings were opened with prayer by Rev. Dr. Cleveland, of Northampton. Mr. CuumR, of Boston, said that the delegation from the Shakspeare Division, Sons of Temperance, desired per- mission to read the tollowing resolution:— Resolved, That in the opicion of this Convention, it is inexpedient and injurious to sentence druukards to the House of Correction, where they are dressed and treated as felons. The Convention suggest that an asylum should be provided for such persons where returmation slould be the main object to be sought. Mr. Cuver was about to speak to this resolution, when be was cut off by a motion to refer it to » committee, which motion prevailed, and Mr. Cluer sat down very indigvant indeed. His principal opponent was Mr. H. D. Cushing, of Baston. ‘A committee was now appointed to prepare a State Addre-s. z | Mr. Civen arked consent of the Convention to speak ten misutes on his resolution. A DeizcaTe.—I move Brother Cluer be allowed to speak. The subject is a very important one. The PRESENT put the question, but could not decide the vote. s Mr. CLvER then refused to speak at that time, but said that he was bound to briog his resolution up ‘The PRESIDENT announced that the question before the | Convention wax upon the second resolutioa, relative to “moral and legal suasion,’’ and that the Rey. Dr. Osgood, of 8 field, had the fluor. De Crone said he was in favor of the strongest kind of legal suasion, and he hoped that those friends who had thought hardly of the temperance men in Springfield would have patience, and they would | hear from her. There was s strong phalanx of true tem: perance hearts in Springfieid—they were not quite as fast | asthe Doctor desired that they should be, but still they did well, and would do vetver. This Convention would have a good effect on them. Mr. Mornis, Probate Judge, also of Springfield, briefly addressed the Convention, and was strongly in favor of ough of moral suasivn to know that He called on ing men not to be weary in well doing, but to go ‘on boldly and cheerfully to execute the law. Mr. How1anp, (a very patriotic shoemaker from Stoughton,) who had tried a great many times to get the floor, now caught the eye of tne President, and poured outs most singular harangue. He announced that he was ‘a descendant of Piymouth Rock,’’ aad that it would be the sum of his earthly happiness if he could see the Maine law executed io that “ heil-hole of misery,’’ the city of Boston. He had seen the law executed in the beau- tifal village in which he revided, and he was at a loss to know why the same thing could not be done in Boston. ‘He had been Chairman of # committee, which had spied out the holes where rum waa sold, and they had drivea every rum seller from the town. (Appieuse.) Une man he ‘watched and caught him in the very act. This man went to the House of ection for three months, and now he hhas come out resolved not to sell any more rum. (Ap: ase) And this can, be done in any place, «mali or 8°, take heed like men, The ons,” and censured the je will onl, indulges in a “pat” for the Beechier’s ‘Six Short Rev. Mr. Lovejoy, of Camoridge- port, who has labored for the repeal of the law. Dr. Curran, of Warren, wanted to see more work and less He wanted to have some plan arranged by which the ‘law could be executed in the towns where it was now a nul lity. It was executed in his town, but not in several others that he knew of. The law must be enforced. They thought so in Warren, and they very frequently went out of town to enforce it. Ouce they went out of the county, captured and brought back a pedlar who was selling liquor. (Laughter and applause.) Mr. Cutler closed by aces that vigilance committees should be ap- inted in Pete Rev. every town. . Mr. Cueverayp, chairman of the committee on that subject, mace Committee, which was reac andgreferred to the Publica F report on the accounts of the State tion The rep rt states that the money has been spent with judgment and cconomy—the travelling ecturers only receiving five dollars per lecture with cost, transportation and subsistence, and in some cases not wo much asjthat. Resolutions accompanying, expressed the thanks of the Convention to the Treasurer (Moses Mellen), and other members of the State Committee. Mr. CieveLanp hoped this rt would be prin ae it was the _ a he to makes fare in the convention. (laughter). cI of the Finance Committee, an- pouneed that he should commence to coliect subscrip- ons. The cost of the Vonvention was about $100, and Fest F ge J i Hi rer olution was amended by inserting these words:—‘: That this (the Maine Law question) is to be the issue of the next State election—is forced upon us as such by our opponents, and accepted by ourselves ”” He also report: eda straggling revolution, the gist of which was, that the unicips! authorities of Boston had their cho! either to execute the law or be damaed to all eternit, Also anotbam, thanking the Maine Law men in the Legislature their efforts to prevent the repeal of the la w. Mr. CuvEr’s resolution not baving been reported, that gentleman rose in his place and moved that it be added to those on the table. The motion was seconded. ‘Then ensued a spattering debate, in which several mo- tions were made, end it was very difficult for the Presi- dent to ascer’ain what the It war finally vo' table for the present, when Dr. Lyman Beecnsr, of Boston, took the stand and wade a rather discursive speech He hoped the law would be executed up to the hilt, and that the children would be educsted up to it at home, in the Sunday schools and everywhere elve. He desised that e1 should be locked after. In Rhoce I'land wi a pular vote in favor of thelaw, it ¢vuld not be executed, cause its enemies had so wronged the towns that taey had got sheriffs who would do as the ram-ocrats ordsred them. Don’t neglect it. It makes no difference how you execute it. There is no way to do it but to do it. Rev. Mr. Toompson took the floor, aad pitched in the Boston Herald; which newspaper, he said, ia owned by a distiller. “That paper acknowledges that's great deal of bad rum is made; and our cause must be going forward iter our enemies acknowledge themselves to be seroun- els. The fact that the proprietor of the Boston Herald only manufactures liquors to be used for mechanical purposes, rather npsets Mr. Thompson's ‘‘{air-built castle ’—Rxp. Rev. #. W. Cuark, East Boston, thought that the best way fo sustain the law was to execute it (Applause ) He thought it could be exesuted in Boston. He kney that twenty-two out of twenty four grand jurors were favor of it. (Applause) He was in @ searcaing com- mittee in East Boston, snd he intended to do bis utmost to execute the law. He was adverse to antediluvian pulpits and antediluvian sermons. He thought the pulpit should leave alone people who had been buried » thousand years, and attack the sins of the present day. He’ did’ it. (Renewed applause.) He knew well the effect that the execution of the law in Boston would have all over the country, and the firet hog-head of rum that was emptied into Boston har- bor would create as much noise aw the throwing over- board of the tea, eighty years ago. There was « strong feeling in Boston in favor of the law, and in other cities likewise. The Reverend gentleman had lately attended a tremendous temperance gathering in New York, when the largest hall in the country was crowded to overfio ¥- ing. Mr. Clark closed with’ another “puff” for Dr. Beecher’s six short sermons. The Rev. Mr, Livpsey, of Fairhaven, got the floor, and related how popular the law was in New Bedford, ouly that it was difficult to execute it there at the present time, as the Mayor and the City Council were quarreling about the City Marshal. However, the friends of the law were not idle. Rey. Mr. Cuzvetanp, of Northampton, pledged himself to execute the law, and to preach against it to the best of bis ability. a PRESIDENT now resigned the chair to Vice President Usher. Rev Mr. Wensrsr, of Hopkinton, wanted to know why some definite plan of action had not been arranged He thought that every town should be organized, and pre. vided with men to sign warrants, search houses. and look after thecarea wnen they come to trial. We had great imfivence on oar side, and our President was President of acollege. The speaker wished he was in the chair now. Ustxe—What do you mean ¢ Warsrm—Oh, notuing personal to you; I only wished to have him hear me. ‘The PRESIDENT now returned, ard after apologising to Mr. Usher, the gentleman from Hopkinton resumed, hia tent. Hon. Wriuam Hypx of Ware, was elected a member of the State Committee, vice Julius A. Palmer, of Boston, declined Mr. Civer, of Boston, said he would not say another word about his resolution, but he would be glad to show apy of the delegates the mysteries of Boston, provided they would call onhim. He then withdrew. Kev. Mr. Brewsrez, of Lowell, took the floor, and made a speech detailing the history of the law in that place. He said that the only objection to the law was the diffi- culty in getting three legal voters to sign the warrant. Traders were afraid to do it for fear it would make them unpopular, and thus injure their business. This could be obviated by every body’s taking huld, as they had done in Lowell. The thing had been so far extended, that peo- ple could not be pacticularised. On the first day the taw went into oseration, every greg-shop in the city was cloved, and the topers were obliged to go over the line into Pelbam, New Hampehire, to fill their tia cans, | ete. A director of one of the corporations was kicked out of an hotel for insisting upon having liquor. (Hathasi- artic applause.) The first month erime decreased sevea- ty five per cent, and for three mouths eversthicg was right, until the Bostonians sept uo small quantities of liquor in the last train every night. We conquered all sorts of difficulties, They threw all our cases ouc of the police court because the law gave the bigner court coa- current jurisdiction, aad where two courts have coa- eurrent jurisdiction the principle of law is that the court which is interested in the fines shall not have cognizance over tbe court not so inter- ested. Then the rum-sellers triumphed over us, but ve did not desoair: we sent * young Justice of the Peace across the river to Dracat; he became a citizen of that place, but bis office was in Lowell. He tried these cases, and Judge Merrick decided that his wasa Jegal court. | Then we triumphed again; and now there ia but one hotel in Lowell where liquor can be had st all, (the Merrimac Heuse,) and nut there with- out c nsiderable difficulty. Mr. Wiss, f Bustoa. moved that the resolutions be taken from the table and adopted. Mr. CusHING hoped that a motion to take up the reso- lutions al ogether, and to strike out that offered by the gentleman from Bostov, (Mr. Cluer,) would prevail Ee did not believe it expedient for this Convention to fly in the face of slleriminal jurisprudeace Worcet said he hoped no resolution would pass Geciaring that drupkepness was pot a crime; he pitied the drupkard, bat would not assent to acy such doc- trine. ‘And the motion to strike out prevailed, and the other resolutions were adopted. Mr. Hicoms moved a resolution that cases in cities should be tried before justices, as it had been decided that police courts kad not jurisdiction, Adopted. A Mr. Morcay got the floor, and pitched iato the peo- ple of Springtield for ailozing rum to be sold ia their city. He said that all the delegates patronized rum | hotels, and the lanclords wonld like to have temperance conventions here every day in the week. He was called to order by the President and after a vote of thanks to the cfficera, the Convention, at one o'clock P. M., ad- jourted sine die Toe wise pullers in the affair are rather ashamed of the deme nstiation, and it will not, probably, prove very ad- vantsgeous to the cause. Ww Domestic Misceliany.

At Ogdensburg, on the 20th inst, Frederick Clark, an adopted son of Mr. William Burton, aged about sevea years, was instantly killed by ligntning. The same shock which killed the boy also struck Mr. Burton on the head, the fluid passing down on his shoulders till it eame in contact with his watch chain, which wasa silver oue, and from thence into his watch-pocket, severing the chain in many pieces, breaking the crystal and removing the hands, # weil as partially melting the case, wheo it passed out of his watch pocket on the inner side of his vest, following down his legs, and shivering bis shoes as it parsed off. Mr. Burton is very badly burned, and lies ina critical situation, but is not entirely insensible. Mr. James Robo, a stout, athletic mes, was knocked down by the same shock, but soon recovered, and hus no marks of injury upon his person.

Seriove Accipent.—Yesterday morning, a boy named Hunt, while passing down Rose street, was kicked in the head by » horse, and received injuries of #0 serious a na- oyrrive, ‘vare that he camnot and that consumes tea, the staple product of China, free of duty; and our cotton and cotton manufac- tures, and various other articles, ought to be freely received in exchange. The present crisis has in- duced the President to tender this mission to the Hon. Robert J. Walker, of Mississippi, late Secreta of the Treasury of the United States, accompanie: by all the necessary powers and authority to accom- plish the pats object of this most important trust; and Mr. Walker, we understand, has accepted the mission. It is well known that the last Congress placed the mission to China upon the highest grade nown to our diplomacy. Since this actioa of Con- gress, new events have given to the mission a still more commandin; eter. There is at present no diplomatic station upon which the public eye, not only of our country but of all civilized nations, will be more intently fixed. To this signal interest and importance of the mission alone, we presume, it is owing that Mr. Walker, whose political antecedents 80 ened at him for the work before him, has abandoned his well known preference for private life, and undertaken this high and difficult diplomatic service. His general views in favor of a liberal commercial policy are well known to the country and to the world. Under the tariff of 1846, our revenue, a8 well as our imports and exports, have been doubled, and the prosperity of the country is unprecedented. Whatever opinions may be entertained by the few who still advocate the protective policy as regards his views in connection with reciprocal trade with | England, there can be none who will doubt the pro- priety of his opinions in regard to an enlarged trade and commerce with China and the East; and we prea there is no American who will not desire jis success in the great and important mission now intrusted to his care. Mr. Walker’s views in regard to our trade with China and Asia are fully set torth in his several aera A Reports, and Clee in that of Decem- ber, 1848. In that report Mr. Walker concluded his Ait on this subject with the following prophetic re- marks:— Our ports upon the gulf, with those upon both oceans fronting upon Europe from the East, and Asia from the West, occupying the central position between all the continents of the globe, nearer to them all by convenient routes tnan any other nation, including aa easy access to the whole interior of our own country, we want only the ocean steamships of adequate strength, speed, and numbers, to give us the command of the trade of all na- tions, or should we forget that, in carrying our trade among the great and populous nations of ‘Asia, aad faci- tating intercourse with that vast region, passi monthly or weekly steamships. the light of Christianity, following the path of commerce, would return with all its Dlessings to the East, from which it rose. Ia tho gions, commerce must be the precursor of Christianity. commerce, which teaches peace and intero>urse between nations; which declares that man {is not the enemy of man. nor nation of nation; but that the interests of all coun- nd that they will 1 influence of an unrestricted reciprocal trade snd intercourse. By our recent scquisi*ions on the Pacific, Asia has auddealy be- come our neighbor, with a placid intervening ocean, in- viting our steamships upon the track of # commerce greater than that of ali Europe combiced, This com merce is ours, if our merchants and government should, by their united energies, secure for us with Asia a rapid and frequent communication by steam. Our products and our manufactures, and especially our coarse cotton fabcics, are precisely what are desired by several haudred millions of their people, who will send us back ia return their «pecie and their rich productions, so few of which are raized within our limits Tt is not a little remarkable that the predictions of Mr. Walker, as regards the advent of Christianity in China as the result of increasing trade and inter- course, ceem to be on the eve of fulfilment, as indi- cated in the proclamation in favor of Christianity by the rebel chief—not apsuRay) now the new Emper- orof China. This proclamation, if the facts are truly stated, is the most striking event the world has wit- nessed since the unfolding of the Banner of the Cross by Constantine at the head of the imperial legions of Rome. We are sure we but echo the voice of the whole American people 4 wishing entire success to Mr. Walker in this great and arduous trust confided to him by the President, of opening the trade of China tries avd of all mankind are identical, and the East to our own country and that of the ! world. City Intelligence. ACQDENT To ONE oF THE OrricsRs or THR LRANDER.— On Wedcesday night Sir Henry Blackwood, one of the officers belonging to the English frigate Leander, was found by the police in Chatham street with his head cut in a very bad manner. Sir Heory was taken to the station houre of the Sixth police district, in Centre street, when Dr. Simmons was sent for, who dressed his wounds. He was taken care of at the station house, and detained during the night for protection, and the property that he had aboat him put in safe keeping. Yesterday morning he was suflisiently recovered to retuen alone to his ship. It is unknown to the police how the accident happened, whether he had been attacked by some rowdy in the street or whether it procesded from a fall. Sir Henry communicated nothing as to the cause to the Captain of the sixth ward police. Cry RerorM.—A meeting of citizens to premote this desirable object was held last evening at the University, Washington square; but as members of the press ware excluded, we are unable to furnish any report to our readers. SixcuLaR Suncica Opezation.—James Riley, while at work on board a vessel, helping to discharge the cargo, which consisted of bars of iron, met with a very singular accident, which rendered bis immediate removal to the City Hospitel requisite, to obtain surgical assistance. The bars of iron were being raised teparately from the hold of the vessel, by menus of a sling. and in doing so the tling ur fortunately broke, and the bar of irmm that was beivg lifted up fell upon the ankle bone of the lvft leg of the above individual. The avcle bone was forced inward, and from the unusual strain that ensued, the foot became twisted round, foreing the inner ankle bone out of the socket. On his admission to the hospital, it was deemad expedient, in order to save the foot from amputation, that one of the tarsal bones, called the “estragalua,” which protruded through the external opening conse. quent upon the laceration of the flesh, should be re- moved. The operation—which is a very difficult one, ac- cidents of this kind being very uncommon—was perform. ed by Dr. Buck last night, chloroform haviag been given to the patient, who was, during the whole time, uncon- scious of what trapspized. Fire —Ou Tuesday afterncon at half-past two o'clock, a fire cecurred at No. 26 Bleecker street, communicating from the chimney to the rafters of the house. Captain Dilks, of the Fifteenth ward, with a platoon of men and engine No. 9, were quickly on the spot, and extinguished the fire with trifling damage. ANoTHKR.—On Wednesday morning, near two o’elock, a fire broke out in the Bowery, No. 259, in Mr. George Maxwell's machine shop, in the rear. Damage from three to four hund:ed dollars. Adjoiving the factory in the rear, is a large building occupied by several families, the entrance to which is by a narrow alley way, of great length, and not over two feet four inches wide. “Had the Gre extended further than it fortunately did, the loss of life must have been great. Such buildings appear to call loud- ly for rome legirlative interference. The Chief of Police was on the spot with the Captains of several wards and their reserve force. Fatt Ovt or a Wixnow.—Mary Bassing, a married woman, a native of Ireland, aged thirty, fractured her thigh and received several ‘contusions about the body, arms and faee, from falling out of the third story window while hanging out some clothes. She resided in Essex street, and was admitted into the City Hospital last evening, having been taken there immediately after tho accident, She was not very dangerously injured, and is under the care of Dr. Derby, who dressed her wound: KescveD From DRows1nG.—On Tuesday a m: Louis Theotille Poillen was rescued from drowning by a boatman. who saw him in the water at the foot of Twenty-first street, North river. His statement is that his intention was self destruction, having no money nor friends in this country. He was tal to the station house by officers Tewnsend and Conove, apparently in a dying state, bu: was soon restored to consciousness by Dr. Booram. Roy Ovgn.—John Donnelly. while driving a brick cart, ran over a chil ed John Quilty, killing the child on the spot, in the street opponite No. 102 Washington street. The driver was arrested. and sent to the police court yesterday morning for examination. ATTEMPT AT SuIcipr.— Wednesday morning s man named William Jones, twenty: seven vears of age, a native of Ire- land, by trade a shoemaker, who had attempted to eut his throat with his shoe knife, was bean to to the City Hospital, where, on examination, it was found that the windpipe had been cut through, but had been afterwards sewed up, and the wound dressed prior to his admission, He is now there, under the care of Dr Derby, and isin a fair way of recovery, but will assign no reason for the rash act. AccweNT.—A sailor by the name of James Murphy, em- eck on board the sloop James Lawrence, which has en taking in cargo at the pier adjoining the end of Jof- ferron street, on the East river, had his arm broken, Wed. nesday, by the fall of s bar of iron upon it from off the dock.” ‘It appears that some of the bars of iron formin, the cargo, bad been placed endwise upon the dock sod one of them ng down, fell upon his arm and broke it.

Acctoert.—Yesterday afternoon John Leasander, while helping to unload seme pig iron from the hold of a ship that was lying in the Kast river, at the wharf at the foot of Montgomery street, opposite to the sugar refinery at the corner of the above street and Water street, slipped and fell down into the hold on the iron below, fractucing the hip bone, and receiving several contusions abou: the bedy. He was taken to the City Hospital, and was at- tended to by Dr, McComb. of Wednesday, sbout Scporw Deatas.—In the Libis 4 six o'clock, a man by the name John Campbell, resid ing at No, 606 Grand street, fell down in a fit while sitting at the tea table, and immediately expired.

To case has oc- cupied the court several deys. Mr. F. B Cutting and Betts ap tiff, ngth, Judge Paine proceeded to charge the jury. ‘This cuse involves important questions of ls and the question of law remains unsettled, having been discussed and differently aonetrued. It is not my pur- pose to pronounce any opinion on the law by which I in- tend to abide. I give my opinion only for the purpose of bringing the case before a full bench. where it can be de- liberately argued and considered, and tho law properly settled. I do not think it conducive to the ends of jus- tice to give any decisive opinion in the case; bat 1 do consider it conducive to the ends of justice to charge you a¢1 do, in order to bring up the case to another court. There is only one question of fact in the case, which is simplited by the opinion I shall give you on the question of law. The question of law raised by the plaintiff is, that it is for him to recover, if there is a usage between Savannah d Antwerp to ship cotton below deck or on deck, when clear bill of laden is given that it is under deck. The plaintiff contends that it is sufficient if he proves this, Un the other side it is said it is not sufficient, that he must show not only such a usage between the anioper and insurer to treat it as on deck, but he must also bring home such # usage to the knowledge of the Insurance Company, and that they became parties to it, and it was done with thelr cognizance and approval, as well as that of the shipper. The plaintiff, however, says that the in- surers and insured are bound to know all the usages in that trade. But it is for me to dispose of the ques- tion of law and to show you the question of fact you have to dispose of. As to the question of law, [ charge you that if you are of opinion that the gen- eral usage of trade between Savannah and Aat- werp is to loud merchandise on deck when it is ship- ped as @ cargo below deck. and may be put below oron deck. The goods in this case are covered by this policy, and I dispose of the question of law in favor of the plaintiff, by saying that it is not necessary that he should bring bome to the insurance company a know- ledge of. or acquiescence in, that usage, but that it is enough to+bow that such a usage exists between the shipper and insurer. This cuts off all inquiry as to whether the inaurers were acquainted with the usage, and places in your hands tbe question of fact whether between the insurers and shippers it was the usage of trade when there was a clean bill of laden, or it was said that the goods were shipped under deck, they might be Placed over deck, ina covered house. It you find that such @ usoge exists you will then find for the plaintiff, and if such a usage does not exist you will fiad for the defendants. The jury ure to bring in a sealed verdict.
