THE # AT JAMAICA, LONG ISLAND. Commencement of the Investigation—Ex. | citcment on the inerease--Evidence of Wit- | nesses, ete. Before Justices Abram D. and Johu 8. Snediker. YesterCay morning, at 11 o'clock, the legal investiga- tion was commenced brfore the above nameé justices of the peace, in the case ef rape and murder, perpetrated on the person ‘of Catharne Quigley, who suffered st the hands of the monsters on Sunday, the 9th inst., wl her way home from a visit to Mr. Skidmore's, situ the Blackstump road. ‘The proceedings were held in a large room at t lic house of Mr. W. P. Holland, in the village; and f anearly hour a large number of persons had collected, anxiously awaiting the commencement of the court. | The whole affair has been discussed by the people over | and over again, and are the opinions | formed as io the guilt or, innocence of the | parties under arrest suspected of the crime. At the | opening of the court the room was soon filled with spec- | tatora, and Mr. Priest, who is « vigilance committee in himself, was, as usual, very actively engaged in collecting the necesssry evidence for the prosecution. The two prisoners, McCoy and Duify, were seated beside euch other, and during the investigation the latter named | appeared to take a very deep interest in the testimony of ie respective witnesses. McCoy soemed to treat the matter with considerable indifference, making frequent applications to the officers for permission to leave the room with them. Avother feature was exhibited pending the examination which we never recollect witnessiag be- fore in a court of justice. It was a Catholic priest taking | notes of the evidence as it proceeded, This priest, we understand, was on Monday permitted to have a private interview with the prisoners, and now we see him attend- ing the examination. It is a very curious affair. The prosecution was conducted by Mr. Hadden, ef Brooklyn, and Mr. Armstrong, of Jamaica; Mr. Lamberson, the | District Attorney, being absent from the county. The | defence was conducted by Mr. Wessel Smith, and the fol. lewing evidence was adducei up to the time of adjoarn ment -— le on i on many TESTIMONY. Lorenzo D.

Denton, sworn, says:—I reside in the town o: on the Black stump road; I did not know Catha- rine Quigley; I think I saw a female on the road on the | afternoon of Sunday, a week ago, the 9th inst.; it was about three o'clock; she was a middling sized girl, about thirteen or fourteen years of age; she was then going north; there is a pond on my farm, itis situated some, | four Rundred feet from my house,’ and near the side | of the road: on Monday afternoon, near sundown, I saw a | piece of calico floating on the surface of the water in my | pond; I went on an old raft near enough to see what it was; IT knew the girl was nussing, and I called to MoCoy, one of my men, to come to me, as I had found the girl who was missing; the part of the pond where I discovered the y is surrounded by bushes; the body Jay some tea or | fifteen feet from the nearest part of the shore; I should think the water and mud together would be from three to four feet; my idea is that the body, when I saw it, I should say, was partly afloat; when Michael MeCoy came I told him to get on the raft while I procured a rope; | Michael pushed the raft out to the body, I then threw | one end of the rope to Michael, who made it fast to the | arm of deceased, and raised her partly out of the water; I asked Michael if he saw her face was bruised; he replied yes, very much, or a good deal, I cannot sa: which; I thipk thatwas all that was said at that time; could ‘not sce the face myself; before I asked Michael these questions Mr. Verity came along the road, andl | asked bim to stop and help us, and he did s0; we pulled the body out of the water, and conveyed it to’ the barn, and told Michael to get a sheet to cover it with; the bod; remained in my barn until ten o’clock that night, when it was taken away by Coroner Hendrickson; the bonnet was on her head, apparently tied; I did not notice whether her dress was torn or not; part of her lip and cheek had been eaten a say to the teeth, as I suppore by the turtles or eels; 10 not think it possible to throw the body into tbe pond from the roadside, on account of the bushes; if | there had been no bushes I think it would then have taken two men to have thrown it as far in the pond as I found it; my family consists of my mother, wife, four cf children, niece, and a cousin, and at that time of twe hired men, named Michael McCoy and Edward Maher; on | that Sunday afternoon | returned home at five o’clock, | and remained bome all the evening; all my family was at home, except my men, but whether they were absent or not I do not know; I id not see any person passing on | foot along the road that evening. It now being nearly six o'clock the Court took a recess until this morning, at ten o’clock, when the testimony of witnesses will be continued. | Protestant Episcopal Historical Society. The triennial meeting of this society was held last even- ing in the chapel of St. George’s Church, Stuyvesant | square. There were about one hundred persons present, among whom were several ef the biskops in attendance at the Episcopal Convention, now holding in this city. | Rey. Francit L. Hawks presided, and the Rey. Mr. Frank- | lin officiated as secretary. After the meeting was called to order, the secretary read the last report of the so- | ciety, from which we learn that it was established in Hartford, in June, 1850. Soon after its organization, con- tinues the report, the whole bench of bishops were en- rolled as members. The object of the society is the | preservation of records of the church in this country, Already two volumes of collections have been published, in addition to a number of pamphlets. Similar societies were established among the Baptists-and Methodists, and even among the Protestants of France. The collections of this association during the last three years have con- | sisted of all the church newspapers, and other periodi- cals, and the current journals of most of the diosesses, and other documents of historical interest or value. ‘After the report was read, the Right Rev. Tuomas Wi 14st, Bishop of Connecticut, delivered a long and elabo- rate address, of which we have room only for a very brief abstract. The speaker said:—The occasion which gives me the honor of addressing you to-night suggests the line of thought which it is proper for me to follow, which is the history of onr Anglo-American church. I will avoid gene- ralities on the one hand, and mere details on the other. After a general outline of the history of the church, the speaker ss ng these preliminary observations, general views, embraced in the | olution. “One of the, first and | ist imports 8 in the history of | our chureh ! jscopal history. There was a great in the way in which this relation | workea itself out, between this colony and others. Now, there are a number of principles in connection with this difference, which are worthy of the attention and study of the members of the church. Another thing, which is | much overlooked, the supply of clergymen in those | early days came from the mother country, and there was | | a reality in crossiag the stormy ocean which stamped | with sincerity the acts of those who undertook the task. Of the first four clergymen who went | from Connecticut to England for aid before the Rerolu- tion, three only returned alive, and therefore we may | venture the assertion, that our church in this country (and we thank God for it) was not established without tears and blood. Demosthenes once said it was no trou: | ble to make a law, but the difficulty was to give this law will, And go it is with clerical law. To give it force it must have the consent of all orders. One of the hardest lessons for man to learn -is the law of self dependence. It was by the stern lessons of the Revolution that the church was compelled to learn son, and to look for existence to its own resources, when, in fact, it may be said it was without rerources, 1 do not wish to look with too critical an eye at this distance of time to the struggles of the church towards the revola- tionists and the king. We can be kind to both parties. Some were active in the struggles for freedom, and others, good members of the church, thought that their oath of allegiance to their sovereign bound them to the very last. When these stern lessons ended, then was commenced the work of the reconstruction ‘of the: church, by no means an easy task, inasmuch as it was necessary to adapt the chureh to the wants and requirements of the nation then just established. The speaker here gave an account of the formation of the church after the Revolu- success. In conclusion he said, I fear we are getting to be sadly negligent of history. The graves of our fathers are swiftly swept away and forgotten, to make room for the vineyard and the mart. The memories of our past must be gathered up before they are all gone, We are almost too young and too small asa society to do much in this way, but we should do all we can. Now is the time, and the onty time, to do the work of preservation, for which posterity will bless us. It is our duty to do this work, and do it heartily. Upon motion, a vote of thanks was here tendered to the lecturer for his able discourse, and he was requested to furnish the society with a copy of it for publication. The President declared the election of officers next in order, when, by @ unanimeus vote, the officers of last | year were re-elected as follows:— Yresment—The Right Rev. T. C. Brownell D.D. LL.D.

It appears he attempted to climb on the cart, but slipped ant fell before the wheels, and was run over before the horse could be stopped. ‘The coroner preceeded to investigate the circumstanees yesterday. ‘Tue Watt Sera Feney.—The proprietors of this ferry, having obtained permission from the New York Common Council totransfer one of their landings from Montague street to the foot of Fulton street, west of the slips of the UnionFersy Company, presented a petition to the Brook- lyn Common Council at their meeting on Monday evening, praying for privilege to make the necessary improvements, lontague being’a private street, vehicles are prohibited from using it; which has thus far proved detrimental to the interests of the company. Another objection is the steep ascent at the landing, which would prevent team- sters from choosing this route, even if the street were a thoroughfare.

About the first of April last, Mrs. McClenathan, of New Orleans, with her children, nurse and servants,’ arrived here to spend the summer. Mrs. McClenathan was a Northern lady, and isa sister of Mr. Francis Sheldon, of the firm of Phillips & Sheldon, Mrs. McClenathan has re- sided at the house of her brother during her visit to the North. Colonel McClenathan arrived here last week. A short time since, Hayden, Morris, Sewall, and some colored men, together with leading abolitionists, learned that Colonel McClenathan’s family was in Boston, and that they bad with them one or more slaves.’ This fact spread abroad, and they resolved that Ann, one of the servants, hould be rescued from slavery at the hazard of their lives. The council of safety was convened night after night, and lofty speeches were made, and ter- rible resolves passed and recorded on paper. Thus mat- ters went on until yesterday, when the venerable Judge Metcalf was applied to by certain leading abolitionists and free soilers, for a habeas corpus writ. They stated tothe Justice that in Phipps place, at the North End, in the house of one Sheldon, a fugitive slave was held and detained against her will. ‘Judge Metcalf was persuaded to grant capias. The document was immediately placed in the hands of Wm. P. Baker, one of the deputy sheriffs of Suffolk, who called to his aid Captain Gaius W. Allen, of the Centre Watch. The officers, armed with the high authority of the Su- preme Court of Massachusetts, started for Phipps place. Arriving at the residence of Mr. Sheldon they found the family wll out. The officers waited at a convenient dis- tance for about an hour, when the family returned. Mr. Baker then proceeded with the capias to the house, and stated his business, Colonel M‘Clenathan at first was Gisposed to resist, and Ann, the slave, was about to run for her life; but wren they were informed of the process by which she was to be arrested, and that she could be taken at once before the court, the terror of the scene was somewhat lessened. The little children of Colonel M‘Clen- atbon clung to their colored nurse with infant fondness; two of them had been nursed by her, and a third was at her breast, when the law officers took her from them and hurried her into the presence of Judge Metcalf. She was taken in a carriage to the court house about four o'clock, accompanied by her master and the two officers. Several colored men and some abolitionists were in attendance at the court-hcuse, when the parties arrived in Court square, “ithe slave Ann was taken directly to the private room of the Judges of the Supreme Court. Judge Metcalf pro- ceeded at once with the hearing. The abolitionists present exerted their intluenee to make the woman declare that she was detained here against her will, but this she declined to do. Her master stated that the slave was free to go—that she was informed when she came North that she would cease to be his slave, and that nothing had been done to restrain her freedom. Judge Metcalf then took Ann into the next room where he conversed with herand became satisfied, that although a slave she was ¢etained here only by devotion to the family of Colonel MClenathan. After conversing with Ann, Judge Metcalf stated that there was no evidenca that the woman was detained against her will, and ordered that all further proceedings be dirmissed, After the hearing was finished Colonel M‘Clenathan and his slave returnod in a carriage to his lodgings in Phipps place. TeRRIGLE ACCIDENT IN CrncinnaTI~Many Lives Pronamiy Lost.—Yesterday afternoon, about two o’clock, as a number of workmen were at work on the old steamer Sacramento, near the dry dock, teasing tt to pieces,the up- per part of the boat or the cabin, which was in a tottering condition, fell down with a tremendous crash, part going into the rivers On the boiler. deck of the boat, under the cabin, were a number of children, engaged in picking chips and pieces of the wrecked boat. Some of them were taken from the wreck, while it is thought that others are beneath the pile of rubbish. At a late hour last night it was thought that some seven lives were lost. Two grown persons, workmen on the boat, are missing, and are supposed to be drowned. Much excitement was manifested, and a number of frantic mothers and fathers were on the ground, in search of their children and friends.
