It was incorporated in 1912, being then carved out of the “Old Couaty of Hampshire,” nd named from the great English patriot, the best, if not the greatest, mun that ever lived. It is a rich and fertile country, and is renowned for the beauty Of its scenery, the ,reatness of its water power, and the general prosperity of its very intelligent popula- tion. Though the most youthful, it is far from being the least prosperous of the several great divisions of this commonwealth, as will appear from a glance at ite statistics. It has for its shire town the oldest set- tlement in western Massachusetts, Springfield, the ancient Agawam, which dates from 1635, and there- fore is one of the most venerable places in the State. At that time the territury on which the settlement ‘was formed was supposed to belong to Connecticut, and when the cost of the crusade against the Pe- quods was assessed—for it is not Florida Indian wars that alone cost money— Agawam was ceuuted among the Connecticut towns. In 1638, however, the peo- ple declared that they belonged to Massachusetts, and with Massachusets the place has ever since re- mained. The name of Springfield was taken in 1640, probubly from the “rivers, brooks, streams, and springs,” that there abounded in the territory thus designated, and which was much greater than the present city’s boundaries. It is believed that the place was incorporated in 1641. It has always been an important place from the time that it makes its appearance in history. It isa great bu- siness centre, aud presents a vi lively a3 well as @ very elegant appesraece. In Philip’s War it suf- fered severely at the hands of the Indians. The National Armory that is there established is famous on many accounts. Like not a few other institutions of co uence, it has risen high from small beg'n- nings. Springfield being favorably situated for the purpose, and having previously been a recruiting station, was selected early in the Revolutionary War ase military depot, where ammunition was made and arms made and repaired. Its recommendations were ita central situation, its easiness of access, and ita inland position, which placed it beyond the chance of being suddenly attacked by the enemy. In 1794 the new government of the United States establiched the present armory, being thereunto in- duced by the consideration that many of the con- veniences desired were already in existence. Great additions have since bon made to ane it now nas a high uatation The growth a rosperity of the ene is on all hands admitted, acwlencaly ‘due to the existence of the armory. For some years past @ quarrel bas been going on about the mode of gov- erning the institution, and at present the subject is receiving the attention of a committee appointed by the President of the United States. The population of Hampden in 1820 was 28,021; in 1830, 31,640; in 1840, 37,339; and in 1850 it had increased to 56,224. Chere are twenty towns in the county, two of which—Chicopee and Holyoke— were made, the one in 1848, and the other in 1850, and taken from the territones of Springfield and West Springfield. These two towns contained 14,720 inhabitants in 1840; in 1850, in connection with the two new towns named, they contained 26,630 persons, so that very nearly the whole popa- lar increase of the county from 1840 to 1850 was made by these places. Palmer increased from 2,150 to 3,896; W Id from 3,460 to 4,010. No other town increased sufficiently to be specifically meu- tioned. Several towns lost in the numbers of their inhabitants, particularly and Montgomery. In 1840 the property of Hampden was officially valued at $10,188,423 71; in 1850, at $22,621,220 77; ig an increase of almost twelve and a half ding the loss of , increased from $3,610,141 35 to $6 375,453 50; Palmer, from $695,- 519 to $1,208,435 67; Westfield, from $964,317 50 to $1,563,758; West Springfield, from which Holyoke = taken, from $899,510 to $1,661,640 50; Wilbra- am, from $387,336 to $923,287 50; Longmead low, —_ $341,713 to!$845,966; and Monson, from $630, 73 86 toge016,185 60. Ei town made some ad- ition to 1% wealth, and in instance the Panount of such adci:ion was larger. The new town pf Chicopee was valued at $3,442,597, and it con- tained 8.319 inhabitants. The new town of Hol- yoke was valued at $1,512,854, and its population was 3,713. Asan_agricultural re; , Hampden stands very amounts to 70,017 acres; high.

A true account of that eon affair—which had not a little to do with the adoption of the constitution of the United States—is 7 to be written. Captain Shays, who is represented as a mere “loafer” and de: by the barren class of writers of waat they — was in reality a suj wr man, and had borne hii G well in the Revolt army. The feeling of dis- content was general thi hout Massachusetts for some years after the conclusion of the war, but it revailed most extensive'y in the western part of the To get of ou Compare arsenal at Springfield was a prime ol “insur «Spr and the authorities were equally interested in holding on to it. It was ned by soot 1,100 men, under command General Shepard, when it was assailed by a similar force, under Cap- tain Shays, January 25th, 1787. The assailants ex- pected to be supported by « baud of their friends, under command of Luke and perhazs it was expected that Eli Parsons, who was in the vicinity, at the head of 400 of the diecontented Berkshire men, would co-operate in the attack. But Captain Shays received no assistance, and his men retreated after being fired upon, leaving a few of their num- ber on the ground. Their commander is represented to have bebaved with great gallantry, and the affair did not fail through any want of akill or conducton his ey There were among his men rot a few old con- tal soldiers, who had anuffed wwder, and who had been all but frozen at Valley Forge, or bronzed by the fierce heats of Monmouth. They seem to have been cowed at Springfield; but the “rebel cause” was far from being that desperate af- fair which it is commonly represented; had any of its military movements been crowned with de- cisive success, it is quite likely that some chapters in our history would have read rather differently from what they now do. Revolution, it has been finely said, “ is the word which we read on the front of an advancing foe—rebellion that which sppears on the back of a flying enemy;” and as the ites — compelled to fy history calls them re State of Rhode Island ap to have strongly = pathized with the Ma: jusetts ‘‘ insurgents.” ‘he more promizent of them having fled to the neigh- boring States, great efforts were made by the Massa- chusetts authorities to have them given up or taken care of, and in some instances with euccess. “ But the authorities of Rhode Island,” says Minot, the historian of the insurrection, “‘ was far from taking steps to secure the fugitives from justice who pub- licly resorted there. When a motion was made in their Assembly, upon the act of Massa- chusetts for appreh3nding the principals of the rebellion being read, that a law should be passed requesting the Governor to issue a proclama- tion fer apprehending them, if within that State, it was lost by @ great majority; and one of the very re- fugees was lowed @ seat within their chamber. Fifty five years later there was an “insurrection” in Rhode Island; that affair, I mean, in which Mr. Dorr figured; and then the goverument of Massachusetts showed itself ready to aid the government party in the sister State. much to the di of the ape however, who turned Governor Davis out of office for the part he had taken against the murege men of Rhode Island, though he had been elected by fif- teen thousand majority but two years before. The Rhode Islanders were “twitted” with their conduct in 1787, when they found themselves in difficulties of a not very di jar nature, though the causes were not the same in the one case that they had been in the other. The Massachusetts “rebellion” was the result of social evils, ike many of those which occurred in Rome, and some of those which have taken pace of late years in Europe, while that of Rhode Island was purely political in ita causes, its incidents, and its consequences. I believe it is not generally known that the Massachusetts “iusur- genta” cent a deputation to the famous Ethan Allen, requesting him to take the command of their forces, and that he gave a reply not calculated to increase the ‘distinguished consideration” in which they had reviously held him. Yet he was not the man to ave been unscrupulous, in a contest between power and the people, to cast about him for excuses for siding with the holders of authority in a warfare be- tween these two aucient families--the only two par- ties, according te Sancho Panza’s shrewd female re- lative, into which the world is divided—the house of Have and the house of Want.

Oct. 4 AND 5.—CHARGE OF ASSAULT WiTH Daapty WeaPoxs axp Mvtixovs Coxpucr.—Tue Usrrgp Srares vs. Witt Dixon aND JaMes Goopwix.—A hearing was had in this upon which Mr. Ridgway appeared for the United tes, and Messrs. Cooper and Barstow for the defend. ants. Jacob Teal, on being sworn and examined, testitied in substance as follows:—I am master of the American ship France, of Philadelphia; these defendants wei part of my crew on the last voyage, which was from Orleans to Trieste i, Palermo and N while lying at an the south ¢ win, Dudle; rowed the chief mate ashore; this was early Sunday morning, the 26th of June last; between 4 and 5 that afternoon the boat returned; Iwas in my state room and heard angry words on deck; the first Isaw was Goodwin in the act of striking the mate; Duncan came to me with both his hands raised in an insulting mani saying, “You captain of this ship ?—do you allow thi stop it!’ Previously there was a scuilie between Good- win and the mate; I told Duncan to go forward, and he answered, “I won't go forward;? a moment afterwards Dixon came aft with a handspike, and gave Mr. Clark, the second mate, a blow on the head, and before he could re- cover himself he received a blow across the face from an axe Goodwin; the axe cut him from the left tem- p saw Good- win previously bring the axe from near the galley; Dixon soon after caine aft, and attempted to hit me on the head with a haudspike; then I went into the cabin to arm iny- self, and while there the mate reported Mr. Clark dead; armed myself, and with chief mate went on deck, where we found all the crew except Goodwin; put Dun- can, Dudley, and Dixon, in irons; then went forward for Goodwin; ordered him out of the forecastle; saw him istol pointed towards the forecastle door; I pointed mine in through the window, and ordered him t; hé came, and I put him in irons; then I went to see about the injuries to Clark; they presented an awful ight; the cut was so deep I’ could lay my two fingers in it; the cheek bone wak exposed; there was ali large cut on the top of the head made by the handspise; sent a boat ashore for a surgeon immediately; and same day sent Mr. Clark ashore, where he could be better attended to; every person who saw him said he never could re- cover. On cross-examination he testified he saw both the mate and Goodwin in contact; second mate was not near to them to my knowledge; saw a capstan bar in the mate’s hand after he got free from Goodwin, but none in the second mate’s hands; when Duncan spoke to me it wan like an order of defiance; after refusing the first time, he said, I'll not go forward—I'll die first,” he never said he would go forward if I_ would stop the mate; I heard the report of « pistol when I went to arm myself, but did not see it fired; afterwards found that Goodwin had a ball in his shoulder, which J caused to be extracted; 1 did not know he bad been wounded until he told me while in irons. thaniel C, Clark being sworn, testified—I was second mate; chief mate came on board in the afternoon, with the boat's crew, and as they got on deck, be asked them why they disobeyed his orders in not coming back to the ship in the morning; they mad» some reply which I did not understand, and’ then walked part of the way forward; Goodwin sooneame back to the mate in an insolent manner and clinched him for a fight; Istood neutral for a while; then, seeing Duncan take a capstan bar, and fearing there would be a serious blow, I tried to get peace without further difficulty; at this time Goodwin and the mate had let goof each other; went up to Goodwin civilly and asked him to go forward and be have himself; he replied, ‘Go away from me, you son of a b—h, or ]’ll murder you,’’ and for fear of his threat I immediately went away and tried to quiet Duncan, who was threatening and go on at a tremendous rate; (iood- win went and got an axe; Dixon struck me heavily on the top of the head with dspike, and, as [ was reeling under it, Goodwin cut the side of my head open with the axe; recollect seeing the axe coming down on me, but was to stunned from the other blow that I could not get gut of the way; remember nothing more which happened until several days afterwards; was entirely out of my senses; have not been able to eat anything but spoon victuals since, as I cannot separate my teeth; my left eye is also injured so much that I cannot shut ‘it and can scarcely see out of it; at times my mind has been much bewilder- ed; pains run through my head from one wound to the other, and that on the side of my head continues to run; can scarcely sleep at all; one piece of bone camo out in Palermo and three pieces more on the voyage; there is also a dent on the skull at the top of the woun On cross-examination he testified—I had no weapon in my hand, Many other parts of the captain's evidence were corrobo- rated by this witness Levi Martin, the steward, being sworn, testified that he saw Dixon with the handspike; then saw Goodwin strike the second mate on the head with an axe as he was stag- gering across the hatch; Clark was doing nothing. James B. Knight, chief mate, being sworn, testified very much the sameas the captain and second mate. In addition, he «nid that on being rowed ashore he told the men they might have fifteen or twenty minutes to get frvit and then they must return to the ship; thereupon he went out riding around the country, and ‘came back about 4 PM. ; found the boat abandoned and the men about town; told them to take him aboard, and asked why they had ‘hot obeyed his orders to go back in fifteen or twenty minutes; they said something about the weather being too rough, and they could not get off, which was not the case; the morning was pleasant, but at 4 o'clock it was quite rongh; arriving on board he asked them why they ditobeyed his order, when they gave some excuse, but in an insolent manner; he told them to go forward, and he would settle the matter at another time; in two or three minutes after Goodwin came aft and demanded sat isfaction on the spot; told him to go forward: and he put himself in an attitude of defence; we clinched, and a scuf. fle ensued; neither of us being hurt much; went to the forecastle afterwards to put Goodwin in irons; saw him have a pistol pointing it, and for self-defence fired at ran dom inside. For the defence several witnesses were produced whese evidence did not alter the caso. For the most part their evidence was corroborative of the witnesses for prosecu tion; but some of them testified that the second mate kicked Goodwin while the latter wns fighting the mate; that the mate struck Goodwin on the head with a hand: spike; and that the difficulty commenced by the mate's him with his open hands when he refused to go Upon this state of facts the defendants were committed in full for trial on beth the charges preferred against them. lll rrr " THE MANCHESTER FAIR. Hon. Edward Everett's Address at the New Ham, State Fair. On the second day of the State Fair in New Hawpashire, the facts of we have before 5 M1. Everett, im the of a large crowd in the seen oie, on the Fair grounds, delivered the follow- ress :— am greatly indebted to you, Mr. President and follow citizens for this very kind reception. Though personally known to very few of you, you will not allow me to regard myself an a secanger. Tmmough it has ever beoa my rood fortune before to do anything more than pass through Manchester with railway speed, your cordial welcome has me, myself, at once at home. _ With this simple ac- knowledginent of your kindness, Mr. President, I feel as if ought to stop. This is the husbandman’s festival, cele- brated under the auspicies of the New Hampshire Agri- cultural Society. Your Executive Committee was good enough, early in the season, to invite me to pronounce the usual annual address on this occasion. I felt greatly honored by the request, which, however, more than one prevailing reason compelled me to decline; and so accep- tably has the duty been performed by ‘the gentleman who has preceded me; 0 much has he instructed and interested us in kis very appropriate discourse, that I cannot but congratulate you and myself that it devolved upon him and not upon me. I feel it somewhat pre- sumptuous—being neither a scientific nor practical farmer—to intrude myself at all before an audience like this, and in the presence of those so much better able to occupy your time to advantage. My best apology will be, pot to occupy much of it, and not to presume to dwell upon matters which must be so much better understood by others, Mr. President, though it has not been my good fortune to be personally much acquainted with this part of your State, 1 have early associations ef the most kindly and agreeable nature with another part of New Hampshire. In the spring time—not of the year, but of my life—I was sent into it in pursuit of a apecies of culture, which you will allow to be not of inferior import- ance to that of the soil—I mean the culture of the mind. I was rent for a short time, when quite a lad, to the acad my at Exeter; and the only regret that mingles in my re- collection of it is, that I did not longer enjoy the advan- tages of that excellent institution and the paternal care of its beloved and venerated principal, Dr. Abbott. Yes, sir, if you will pardon me this reminiscence of my boyhood, I remember, but as yesterday—for it was the first time I ever left the parental roof—being called at about 4 o'clock in the morning, in the month of February, to get ready for what was then thought hard day’s work—the jour- ney from Boston to Exeter. When a boy between twelve and thirteen starts alone, before daybreak in the winter, to go from home to boarding school, the distances do not seem particularly short. They seemed the longer tome from # tlight misunderstanding of the information de- rived from the stage-driver. This was a person who had driyen a long time on the road, was well known to the academy boys, and had got rather weary of answering their perpetual inquiries, how many miles it was from one place to another along the reute. His name was Prime, which we saucy youngsters converted into Prinm—pestering him ‘with oecasional _witticisms, (which he took in very good part,) about the seige of Troy. He took his revenge by mystifying us about the distances. Wherever we were, the answer wai always the same; whether we asked the question at Haver hill, at Atkinson, or Plaistow, or Kingston, how far it was now to Exeter, it was always “about three miles.” 1 have said, fellow citizens, that I had the misfortune to be a stranger at Manehester; in those days you were all strangers at Manchester too; Manchester did not exist. It is one of those cities which has sprung like an exhalation from the soil, at the bidding of eapital, enterprise and skill, availing themselves of the creative forces of nature. In those days, sir, that is—but I will not tell you how many years ago—we knew Manchester only as Amoskea; Falls, and by the everlasting advertisemonta, which filled the newspapers relative to the construction of a canal around them. But it wasafamous spot, sir, even in a state of nature. The children of the forest had selected it as a chosen seat even before the foot of civilized man man had prested these shores. It was one of the favorite abodes of Passaconoway, as you reminded me an hour ago—the great Sachem of the Pennacooks, the powerful tribe which occupied the banks of the Merrimac and the Piscataqua. I can never reflect, sir, without some emotion, that not two hundred years have ‘passed since these fair regions were occupied by races of fellow-beings that have disappeared from the surface of the earth. We are told that Passaconaway passed for a wizard, inasmuch as he could produce a green from the ashes of a dry one; a live serpent from the skin of- @ dead one—could’ make water burn and trees dance. Well, Mr. President, without laying claim to witchcraft, the modern arts are competent to the per formance of most of these wonders. Iam not aware, in- deed, that we can produce a living serpent from the skia of a dead one; it is not a breed that there is any great motive to propagate, and very few experiments, 1 sup- se, have been tried ‘since Passaconaway’s time. But I think this Agricultural Society has labored to very little advantsge if it has not shown how a green leaf can be produced from the ashes of a dry one. I am sure the mists over at the mills can rosolve water into com- ible gases; and as for dancing trees, it almost took away iny breath to witness the rapidity of their motion as I came down this morning by the express train. There is no witchcraft or necromancy like the mechanic arts. By what simple contrivance of indian jugglery poor Passa- conaway performed his trickery wonders we do not know. In those days the white man, as well as the red, wasmor remarkable for what he did not perform in the way of th arts, than for what he did; for we are told that afte corn and wheat had been imported into New Hampshire from Virginia—in the earliest days of the settlement— they were obliged to send it from this part of the world to Boston to have it ground at the Boston windmill, that z the only mill in this part of the country. | This strengely enough at a spot where we can hear the rush of the Merrimac over yonder mighty water wheels. In fact, sir, the annals of New Hampshire are filled with romance of every description, from the times of G and Mason—and the igh-sounding grants of ‘ a and “Laconia ’?—the primitive _ settlement of ‘ Strawberry Bank’’—the advent of Mr. Wheelwright —the resolute founder of Exeter—who was Cromwell's fellow student at Cambridge, and his most formidable competitor at football, in which manly sport be was ac- customed to trip up the future Protector's heels, down through the pleasant and prosperous days of the union with Massachusetts, and then the bloody series of the Indian wars. It is almost beyond belief, sir, that a hun- dred years have not passed away since that pathetic tra- edy in domestic life was acted within the limits of New lampskire. I mean the captivity of Mrs. Jemima Howe and her chi‘dren. I believe the first time my blood was ever stirred by any tale, was when I read that narrative in the American ‘Preceptor: “ As Messrs. Caleb Howe, Helkiah Grout and Benjamin Gaffeld, who had been hoeing corn in'a meadow west of the river, were returning home a little before sunset toa place called Bridgnan’s fort, they were fired upon b; twelve Indians who had ambushed their path, on the 27th of July, That is the way the story begins; there is nothing in the Waverley novels that surpasses in interest the subsequent adventures of Mrs. Howe, in the captivity of herself and children among the Indians and Canadian French, less than a century ago. At that time, sir, the greater part of the extensive domain so beautifully repre- sented at this exhibition by all the preducts of agricul- ture, animate and iuanimate, still lay in a state of nature. It was impossible that settlement should penetrate far to the West and North along such an exposed frontier. The interior condition of New Hampshire, as of most of the other colonies, was dependant at that time on the struggles of the great monarchies of Europe. The downfall of the French power in Canada removed the terror of Indian war- fare—the establishment of our own independence called out all the hidden energies of the American character— and commerce and the fisheries on your coast, agriculture and manufactures in the interior, with the aid of labor- saving machinery, the railroad and the locomotive, have done the rest. They have converted the ‘howling wilderness’? into gardens and corn-fields and thriving towns and cities, and have brought your State to the con- dition of high prosperity in which we now behold it, and in which—as it xeems to me—you have no occasion to envy any of your sister States. On your western boundary you have the noble Connecticut, queen of the rivers of New England, bordered b y a line of railroad almost from your northernmost limit to Long Island Sound, giving you a broad belt of fertile land on its banks, and a direct communication with the great commercial metropolis of the Union. The railroads which traverse the centre of the State, and that which is just opened from Portland to Montreal, through your northeastern territory, place you in immediate comniuniecation with the St. Lawrence and Canada. At the mouth of the Piscataqua you have one of the best ports nnd harbors in the United States; and where in the world, for its length, is there a stream which excels this admirable Merrimac ?—whether we consider the beautiful lake in which it takes its origin; the fertile meadows thatare watered with its upper tributaries ; or the industry, enterprise, and creative capital concentra- ted at its falls; Hooksett, Manchester, Lowell, Lawrenca, the four great flights of stairs, KA which the genius of your prosperity goes down from bis mountain throne to the sea, scattering blessings as he descends. Why, sir, there is not a streamuist which leaps from the rocks and mingles its waters with the silver surface of your match- lens lake ; no, not a drop of dew condensed in the dark forests that surround it, that can find its way to the ocean (illit has contributed its share to move, one after another, fifty water wheels, and by the products of their motion to clothe hundreds of thousands of men in remote communities, and give an impulse to the commerce of the world, And then, sir, for natural beauty. I have been something of @ traveller in our own country—though far less than I could wish—and in Europe have seen all that is most attractive, from the Highlands of Scot- land to the Golden Horn of Constantinople, from the summit of the Hariz Mountains to the Fountaia of Vancluse ; but my eye has yet to rest on.a lovelier seene than that which smiles around you as you sail from Weir's landing to Centre harbor. I have yet to be- hold a sublimer spectacle than that which {s disclosed from Moumt Washington, when, on tome clear, cool summer’s morning, at ‘sunrise, the cloud-curtain is drawn up from nature’s grand proscenium, and all that chaos of wildness and beauty starts into life, the bare granitic tops of the surrounding heights—the pre- cipitous gorges a thousand fathoms deep, which foot of man or ray of light never entered—the sombre, matted forest—the moss-clad rooky wall, weeping with crystal springs—winding streams, gleaming lakes, and peaceful villages below—and in the dim, misty distance, beyond the lower hills, faint glimpses of the sacred bosom of the eternal deep, ever heaving as with the consciousness of its own immensity—all mingled in one indescribable pano- rama by the hand of the Divine artist. And can I speak of the kistorical legends—of her industrial resources—of her natural beauties—of New Hampshire, parent not of fruits only, but of men—without remembering the great and good who adorn her annals—her immortal Stark, who cheered the heart of the nation at the lowest ebb of de s«pondency, and led the way at Bennington to the triumphs of Saratoga—your Sullivan, your Poor, your Scammel, your Dearborn, your McCleary, your Plerce—who, from Bunker Hill to Yorktown, heard every peal of the trumpet, and breasted ‘every storm of war—the long line of your civilians—your ertletts, your Whipples, your Thurstons, yeur Langdona, your Gil mans, your Smiths, your Masons, your Woodburys—your men of letters and dirines, your Wheelocks, your Bel- koaps, your Buckminsters, your Abbots? How, expecially, can | forget him, whose decease not yet « twelvemonth ago filled the whole laad with sorrow, while, in the sub. lime ners ot, your fellow citizen, the President of the United States, “ oe ey heart of the nation beat heavily at the portals of his tomb.'’ He was the oflapring of your toil, be and hia fathers. His infancy was crad in hardships of your frontier settlements; he was wuss in your schools and your college. You him forth im the of bis youth(ul strength te leaf* i | faving faile the service of his country, and after the labors and the conflicts of life, you rose up ax one man to welcome him, when but two years ago, oh this anniversary, he came back, melting with his native State. Mr. Everett concluded with a renewal of his acknow- ledgmenta to the company. Mr. Everett was interrupted with enthusias- tic applause, and at the c! of his eloquent remarks three more hearty cheers came forth spontaneously from the assembled multitude. ‘< Coroners’. Inquests. MURDER IN THE FOURTH WARD—A WOMAN STABBED BY HER PaRAMOUR. Susan McAnnany, the female who was stabbed in the neck with a dirk pistol, on Wednesday after- noon, at the porter house No. 76 Cherry street, by James L. Hoare, keeper of the house, died between 12 and 1 o'clock yesterday morning, at the New York Hos- pital. It seems that both entered the porter house at the time first abovenamed together, and apparently in » friendly manner. After being there a short time, and partaking of some port wine, they went to the rear part of the store, when Hoare drew from his pocket, a pistol havinga dirk attached to it, and plunged the blade into her neck, The act was witnessed by John O'Conner, bar- keeper to the prisoner, who was the only person present atthe time, Tho prisoner is a middle aged man, of very respectable appearance, and is said to be in good circum- stances. Coroner Hilton yesterday afternoon held an Inquest upon the body, when Jas, Mf Smith, Jr., appeared as counsel for the prisoner, and the following evidence waa adduced:— Wim. A.
