WHOLE NO. 6305. EVACUATION DAY. Celebratien of the Day in New York and Brooklyn. Military Parade and Religious Services—The ‘Veterans of 1812—Dlumination of the City Hall, &e., de. Hvacuation day was yes'erday celebrated with a pa- fade of the Veteran Corps of the War of 1812, Tho dis- play, however, which this day used to call forth in times gone by, has somewhat diminished, in these days of utili- farianisa, As wo advance, it is perceptible that less and ‘eas time is devoted to the public celebrations of the @ventful days of the American Revolution. On the 25th ef November, 1783—now just seventy years sgo—was enacted the last scone of the revolutionary struggle. On that day the last British regiment embarked from the ‘Battery for the shores of England, and on the same day Gen. George Washington made a public entry into this city, amid the welcome shonts of an emancipated people. The day was particularly remembered yesterday, by the weterars of the war cf 1812. The remaining soldiers of this contest assembied at half-past one o’clock yesterday Sfternvon, at their headquarters, No. 64 Lispenard street. ‘They wore their usual uniform of citizens’ dress, ef dark @lothes, with black hat, cockade, and side-arms. From theix bead-quarters they marched to the City Hail, where ‘they were reviewed by his Honor Mayor Westervelt, who @hook aii the old soldiers manly by the hand, He ex pressed himself highly pleased with the military erolu- of these veterans of the last war. From the Park they marched through Nassau street, by the different mewsp» per offices, peo each as they passed a military salute, Marching to the Custom House, they were there Feoeived by Collector Heman J. Redfield, who shook each the hand, and seemed pleased to meet the heroes, the Castom Houre they marched to Fulton ferry, which they crossed, to attend Dr. Beecher’s church in the @veving. All who saw this company were delighted with the soldier like bearing of the corps, and pleased with the Mapce in which all eeeiced to preverve the enthusiasm Of youth against the attacks of age.

HENRY WARD BEECHER. ‘When the ceremonies of the day were over in this City, the Veteran Corps proceeded to Brooklyn about five o'clock in the evening, where they were received by the Brooklyn Continentals, under command of Captain Wm. H. Sharp. The privates of the corps ‘were dressed in citizens’ clothes, the only indications of their military character being a sword and belt. ‘The officers were dressed in regular uniform, and wore in their chapeaux a tri-colored plume. The Dumber of privates was 125. The following are the pames of the officers: — Lieut. Col., Henry Raymond; Adjatant, Abraham Dally, 5 on, Dr Porter; Chaplain, Rev. Dr. Van Pelt; odes, Taylor) and Anderson; and Lieutenaats, est, Bann, Haines, I. M. Ph} fe, Gouge, Howe, Hoyt, Hagadorn, Griffiths. Abvut seven o'clock they arrived at Rev. Henry Ward Beecher's church, and took up their places im- Mediately in front of the pulpit, in pews which were Teserved for them. On their entrance Hail Columbia ‘Was played upontheorgan. After this, Rev. Dr. Van Pelt, the chaplain of the corps, offered up a prayer; at the conclusion of which, Rev. Mr. Beecher pro- Geeded to address the meeting. He commenced by a Brief dissertation on the moral aspects of war; and after a brief review of the wars of Napoleon, proceed- - ed to speak of the latin which our own country was mmgaged:— . ‘The declaration of war, said he, against Great Britain, eanpot os aoe in any other lighs than an exceeding: Jy boli sad hazardous determination on the part of thi pie @ maintain inviolate the rights of the country and he": vetples of liverty.

Since then kinder counsels have prevailed. The parent is becomii propd ef her child. The child is proud of paternal honors. They callour Washington theirs. Their Cromwell, and Vane, and Pym, and Hampden are ours, Ours, tod, is ev honor of their history—the Magna Charta, the Eoglial Reformation—the ejection of tyranny and the Stuarts—the establishment of constitutional liberty in the Hanoverian succession. Ouraare their names of genius—our Chaucer itis; eurSpeneer; our Shakspeare our Bacon; our Newton: our Milton. We wili 4o by their libraries, unreproved, what they did by our ships—we will board them; we will ques- tion and claim their authors; we will impress and bind them, end send them forth to serve our youth. And if the piinters of great Britain are fierce to make reprisals, and send forth armies of compositors to seize our Irving, and Prescott, and Bancroft, and Hillard; our Emerson, and Bryant, and Dass, and Willis; ourTyng, and Bethune and Eéwards—why, we will not go to war for that; but we will thank God that Ola Eoplana has yet got a people who love good seading, and know where to look for it, Ney, never—uever, let our flags be interlocked again in the fie:ce fray of battle; or if, in God’s mysterioas over- ring of human affairs, the Eogliss and American fi foe again stream out over the battl 00 field, let their battle ide, axd on thatgreat field of the world’s liber- rants are finally taughs that men sball be {ree and nations protected in their rigtt of self-government In such a conflict as that—if it must come—if God has again so hardened the heart of Pharoah that he will no let the people go, and He cecrees that the people shal ccme forth from the land of bondage by the gateway of war—then let Great Britain be as Moses; France and America as Aaron and Hur; and while they hold up the vorerable bands, Jet it be again as when it was written, “4nd it came to pass, when Moves held up bis hand, Ieracl prevailed, * * ® And his hands were stea- éy until the going down of the sun.” Until tha ron go down on the earth for the last time, let England and America stand for the liberty of the world But so long have we detained you with these general c siderations, that you are Ike to forget one principal errand that brought you here. It is true that Now Yora, excett upon her northera frontier, was but little subjact to the ravages of war Fleets hovered off her port, and men were ready to put the torch to yonder city. It was, in fact, because resolute citizens stood enrolled and ready to meet and repel invasion, thet we were not tar- nishec, Aud here before you are some of the men who stood there a living bulwark. What strange associations wust theirs be, as they walk these streets, In 1812 where was Brooklyn? Not ore of these strevts wan here. A country road leading to Fulton ferry was all that ex- isted. Corn nestled over all these then fields. But along these heights entrenchmenta were drawn, and not far from the foundations on which this church stacds, the earth was thrown up for fortifications; and, peradventare, ome of then vary men wFo ait before you to-night delved with mattock and spade on the very spot where now their infirmer age rest, How great the chango! Time, that bas builded there thea exp'y fields into streets, compact witb josous homes for ten thousaué happy hearts, has been tabirg down the strength of these brave men, and ir preparing to drive them forth from the tabernacle of mortality Shell they spend the last hours of their stay anieng us as panyers? Siall they who willingly gave their bressts to the enemy, and to whose courage it was owed that New York was not burned, fiud none to rise up and call them blessed ?—none who shall account it not charity to confor comfort upon the declining years of those sanong them who are poor, but an honor and # privilege? Shall war be move merciful than peace? Having olfered thelr lives upon the altar of their country, and been shown the +hapo of war, shall they find peace more crael than battle? Shall poverty bite sharper than the sword, and want drive them whom foreiga armfes could not { Grive? No. Vererable men, in age you are our parents; but in acare of your honorable wants you are cur chil- dren. You sball not taste our bounty, bat our love. It is no dole that we extend to you. Wo make baste to offer our respect. They that have de’ended their country, them that country adopts for ite special care. They that peril their lives for their countrymen are therefore God’s most sacred Ceposit in the cateful regards of every patriot, And where should you find friends if not in this building, whose feet stand almost upon the very spot which you have guarded? In these places you shall never again hear the rol efthe war drom, nor the ehrill call of the fife. Softer sounds now forever to abide here. But more stirring than the loudest trumpet is the appeal which your want makes to oar Lovor; softer than the sweetest music is the response which our love and duty shall make to your necessities, Take it. We feel it to be more blessed to give thun to receive. May your age be honorably lengthened out, Every year may you find your appeal more welcome. And when the time of your departure from these earthly places shall come, may God give to you each a crown of righteousness, through Christ our Faviour Amen. At the conclusion of this address, which was fre quentiy applauded during its delivery, a collection was taken up; after which the Veteran Corps returned to New Yor! : In Jersey City, The Second regiment of the Hudson Brigade, uncer the command of Col Ellis, were out yesterday on parade, and was reviewed by Gen.

The companies that turnea ou were the following:—The Continental Guard, Montgomery Guard, Washington Volunteers, Meagher’ Republican Grenadiers, and Grenville Guard. A Woman Snot By some Person UNKNowN. —Coroner Wil: helm yesterday held an inquest at No, 42 West Thirteenth street, on the body of an Irishwoman named Catharine Moran, who was shot im the breast by some boy from amongst a gang of other boys, by the careless use of fire- arms, on Thanksgiving day. From ‘he evidence adduced before the Coroner, it appeared that on the day in ques- tion a number of boys were congregated in a yard of house No. 111 West Twelfth street, which yard joins the premi- ses in question, where Mrs. Moram was engxged in hanging out clothes, and rimultancasly with the repor? of a gun or pistol, she was heard to give @ deathly scream. The boys heanrg the scream, belioving that they had done mischief, ran off and escaped. The unfortunate woman burried to the house, exclaiming, “open the door, for God's sake, for Lam shot,” and expired slmost immedi- ately aiter reaching the house ‘The premises above men- tioned are ocenpied by a large number of families, but none eould tell the nsmes, or say that they knew the boys who had congregated in the yard and used f earms, As no evidence could be procured ea to the partios dis. charging the Srearms, the Jury rendered the following verdict: “That deceased came to her death from injuries received frem a shot wound in the breast on the 24th in- stant, enid thot being fired by some person to the Jury unknown.” The deceased was thirty-five years of age, and a wative of Ireland, OxaTH bY FauunG THROvGH A Wett-Hore.—Coroner O’ vonnell held an inquest st the New York Hospital on the body of Charles 8t.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. A QUESTION TO BE SETTLED—RETRENCHMENT—THB PRESIDENT’S MESSAGR—THE BRITISH MINISTER AND “HAIL COLUMBIA,” ETO. Wasuinoton, Nov. 25, 1853. Hon. John Wheeler has arrived in town, and taken rooms for the winter at the National. He will probably seek a solution of the problem at the hands of the admin: istration why Emanuel B. Hart was refused the position of Naval Officer of New York, upon the charge ef not cordially supporting the regular romination of Hiram Walbridge; and yet Messrs Dix, Fowler, Cochrane, and Thomas, all abolitionists, residing in Mr. Wheeler's dis- trict, were appointed against Mr. Wheeler’s remonstrance, to important federal offices, although they had all op- posed the regular democratic €ongressional nomination; and singular to relate, all these men, except Dix, had been defeated previously in their attempts to ebtain office from the people. It’s a nice point. Mr. Harvey M. Watterson denies that he is to be cen- nected with the Union, It certainly would be strange if Mr. Watterson ehould assume the position of an editor of the Union, after the very free and not altogether compli- mentary maprer in which he has spoken of the President and Cabinet within the last two months. It is understood that the estimates which will be pre- sented to Congress will show's material reduction over that of last year. In the Interior Department nlone this reduction will be to the extent of more then half mil lion of dollars. Aspecial meeting of the Cabinet was held to-day, for the purpose of hearing the President’s message read for the first time. A gocd deal of feeling is expressed here at the bad taste of the British Minister, Mr. Orampton, at Jullien’s concert, last evening. When “Hail Columbia” was play: ed, the audience fcllowed the example set in New York, and rose from their seats. The only exception was inthe case of Mr. Crampton, who, occupying s prominent posi- tion in the theatre, eaw fit to mark his contempt by re- maining seated, Were Mr. Buchanan to act in sucha manner in Lendon, where “God Save the Queen” was played, what would be thought of it?

They say that General Cass is not dead yes ; but that in his aspirations for the succession, he is too wise to run the hazards of rebellion. His remarkable silence concerning the New York squabble, is urged as positive proof that he is with the Cabinet On the other hand, it is reported that at the esrliest opportunity in both houtes, resolutions will be offered which will bring all hands to the wark on the direct issue of the Van Buren restoration, UNION, HEALTH OF THE PRESIDENT— POSTMASTER OF TROY RESIGNED—JOBN VAN BUREN DISAPPOINTED— THANKRGIVING DAY, ETC.

THE TRIAL OF WARREN WOOD FOR THE MURDER OF HIRAM WILLIAMS THE PEDLER—VERDICT OF ourLry. Carsxn, Nov. 23, 1853. ihe trial of Warren Wood for the murder of Hiram Wil.‘ams, the pedler, which occurred near Greenville in the ab ove named county, on the 19th of August last, was comme: wed this morning in the Court of Oyer and Ter miner, be fore Judge Harris, assisted by Justices Salisbury, Cochrane a ud Bailey, of the Court of Sessions. The pro secution wa.’ conducted by D. K. Olney, District Attorney, areisted by Rufus H. King. For the prisoner the Court assigned ex Judge Tremain and Mitchell Sanford. Wood was bruaght into court and placed in the prison- er’s seat at 8 o’sluck. He was dressed in » gray sack coat, black pantalowns, and red vest. He was not ironed. His countenance war thin aad pale, probably the result of prison confinement. He locked serious and care-worn, and appeared to pay marked attention to every word that fell from the lips of the witnesses and counsel. Mr. King opened the case on the part of tis proseoutien, and the empannelling of the jury then too’ place. ‘The following is a list of the jurom— David Conine, Joseph Johnson, Joseph P. Shults, Ebene zer White, Hiram Davis, Albert B. Humphrey, Reuben Mead, Jefferson Mead, Nathaniel F. EV Is, Laban A. Hub bard, Casper Spoor, and Jobe Bishop. The first witness called was Richard Griffin, the stage driver, who testified that on approaching the spot where ths crime was committed, he-heard groans and calls for help, and discovered Williams: leaning on the fence by the roadside, for support, ard resting upon his knees; a he reached bim, Williams fell over, and he raised him up when Williams’ told him he had been shot; the driver then procured a wagon and assistance aud took ths wounded man to the tavern bept by John H, Moo: John H. Moore war called, and testified to Williams be ing at bis bouse and dying there. ‘The next witness was Dennis McCabe, the first pliyst- cian who was called to see Williams. He testified to the medical treatment of the deceased, the appearance of the wounds, &c. Williams bad two long gashes on the top of his head, cut to the bone; a bruise oa the back part of the same; one just above the temple and eye, on the left side of the face; the undér lip and chin were cut, and there was a wound, supposed to have been made by a bullet, on the right side of the head, above the ear; aad, in addition to this, a bullet wound in the back. left side of the spine, jurt above the hip; the shot passed through the body, was taken out in front, just under the breast- bone, and was doubtless the cause of the pecler’s death; he died the fourteenth day after receiving the wounds. Dr. Gideon Botstord, another attending physician, was examined, and corroborated the rtatement of Doctor McCabe as to the medical treatment of the patient, and the cause of his death. Captain Ditchett, of the New York police, textified to the arrest of Wood in Cherry street, aided by Constable Rennett, of this courty, While Wood was confined at the Fourth ward station house, he confessed to Captain Ditchett that he was guilty of the charge for whic! was arrested, of shooting the pedler Williams on the Plank Road; and said that he wished he was dead, and that if he had the means he would take his own li‘e. He told witness that he had travelled a great distance that day, and bad drank @ number of times, and could not account for the reason of his committing the deed, ex- cept that he did not know what he was about. Wuile on bik way from Now York to the place of examination, and while crorsing the river at Coxsackie, he heard rome one ray that Hendrickson was arrested for the murder of Williams. The prisoner thea expressed the opiuion that the pedler might identify him #: the person who shot him, and asked Captain Ditchett to allow him te change bis coat, Daviel P. Pennelt'testified to his assisting in the ar- rest of the pritoner in Cherry street, and that the prison: er raid while at Moore's tavern, on the 30th August that he came up the riveren the 17th of August ard went to Albany, and from thence went across to Greenvilie a foot, intenving to go to Durbam, and came across the pedler ner Greenville; said he had been dritking covsiderable that day and was excited, and shot him; a powder flask was shown him, and he said it was from that flask that the powder was taken to lead the pistol that shot the pecler; that be threw away the pistol, took the money fom the pedier’e pocketbook, tore up the pocketbook and threw it away >that the pedler gave him the pocketbook, ard thst it contained $32 in blils an¢ $1 $2 cents in gold dust: when he was arrested, and I pulled oat handeutls, hers “Ben: ett, for God’s sake don’t put them on me —I will ;o wi lryou” he had ona dark greep sack coat with velvet colar; the pri-oner said he aiJ not intend to bill the pedier a few moments previous to doing 0; Wood and Henderson were both taken before the pedier at the tome time, at Moore's tavern, aud pointing to Wood, he said, * that is the man who shot me—that is the same cont, (the ene Wood bai on), and those are the same bocts that he wore at the time it was done”’—Wood mads no reply. 3 George Kirg sworn.—Lived near the place whare tho pedier wus shot; he searched for the pistol, and found a yittol barrel pear the place where the crime was commit tec. ‘Thompeon King, sworn —I found the stock of the pistol; (the pistoletock ard bullets were exhi be said ha crew the charges from the pistol; found fout of the six barrels loaded; the bullets titted the muzzles, as tried be- fore the jury, Dr, McCabe was re-called—Said he extracted « ball from the pedler’s body ; produced it aud’ tried it with one of the muzzles of the pistol, andt fitted, and was passed over to the jury for examination. Robert W. Drake, of Brooklyn, testified that he bad known Wood about eleven months: prisoner bronght some baggage to my house on the 20th of August—a valise and travelling bags; Wocd left my house about 2 o'clock P. M. cn the 17th of August to go to Albany, and returned on the morning of the 20th; he wore a dark green coat, with velvet collar, ehi ck pamtaloons, and bell-crowned hat; he told my wifethat on bis return he arrived at Now York on Fridsy evening, the 19th, at balf-past 11 o'clock; I eaw him have a six-barrelled pistol before he went away on the 17th; is of the opinion that the pistol now shown to him is the same. The bullet moulds taken from the travelling bag of the prisoner were now produced, and the bullets fitted the cavity in them. Mrs. Robert W. Drake recognized the prisoner; remem- bers his returning on the 20th o/ August; he said he ar- rived at New York at llo’clock the night before; he lett my house on the 17th of August, wore a dark green sack coat, with velvet collar; when he returned he clanged his pantalocns and shirt; I saw him have a pistol; the one here shown to me looks like the same. Peter Miller testified that he saw the prisoner about 7 o’clock A. M. on the 19th of August at his house, on the plank road, and saw him again betweon'll and 120'clock, going Fast; he was about three miles west of Greenville; before I met him I saw a pedler resting a ainst the fence, with his pack off; when I raw Wood he was about forty rods from the pecler, and approaching him. Trompeon King, re-called—Says ha found a. pocket- book about a mile from the bridge where the pedler was thot; the pistol was found about ten rods frow the bridge. ‘The pocketbook was exhibited to the jury, torn in three iecen.) Sohn King says he feund the umbrel! delorg to the prisoner, om the 5th September. Madison Stevens testified that he saw a powder flask, that was found betweem a quarter and haif a mile from the bridge. (The flack was exhibited to the jury as the one from which Wcod anid he loaded the pistol.) George C. Wicks testified that prisoner came to him sbout four o’clock in the afternoan of tho: 10th of Au- gust, and otated that he was too lata for the stage, and wanted him to take him (prisones } to Catebill in imme for the oars at balf-paet six o'clock; said his father was sick and he was going to see him; offered him $24! he would do #0; witness declined the offer. prisoner said his name was Johnyon. It opy ears by tha testimony of Charles Wicks and Aus- tin Boward, that the prisoner also called on them sepa. rately a little later on the eame day, and eased them the some quertion and made them a rimilar offer. Wm. 8, Wilbur testified that the privonor came to him cn the afternoon of the 19th of August and asked him to carry bim to Catrhill, stating that his father laid very rick in the eity of Troy; prisoner «oid his name wax Willism Wil inzoson; he offered witness 32, which witness accepted, and be reached the Catskill Point with prisoner Gfterm minutes after six o'clock; Wood crossed the river in time for the down train to New York. William Stewart justice of the panoo from the town of Comtackie, testifies that he raw Weod at Moore's tavern, on the 50th of August; says he showed the prisoner the powder flak, and Wood ruid it was "hs one from which he loaded the pistol that shot the pedler. Williams made anosfidavit before him that 1a ofthe manner of his heing shot, and witness read ivover to Wood, and defen dont said some part of the statement was not true; it wae im regard to throwing the pedier of the bridge, aud the amouut of money the pedler caid was in his pocket boo's but im the main it was corroct; he said there was but $21 in the pocket book and tba gold dust, which he sold in ‘Wall street, New York: be denied throwing Williams. off the bridge. (The statement of the pedler was, wt this stage of ihe proceedings, placed before the court.). On the 10h of Avgust the pedier made a statement, which ‘was sworn to, describing the person who shot bins: and again on the 27th of Angust, he monde an afidavit, saying ‘live or die, Hendzickson was the man who shot me,’ some money was found on the pedler, and handed to his brother in-law. D. P. Bennett, recalled, testified that he was present when the statement exhibited here read to the priscr er, and thathe said the main features of the state- ment were correct. Here followed the statement which has been heretofore published inthe Huuaiy, at the time of Wood's arrest. ‘The prorecution now rested the case. Judge Tremain, tor the defence, addzeared the jury in & most fervent and sloquent speech in bebalf of th after which one witness was examined, and mony elosed. Hevry Boyd of New York city, testified that he saw Wood in Brooklyn on Tuesday or Wednesday after the ped- lar bad been shot; that he (Wood) drove stage; that wit- ness asked Wood if he had seen any one from county looking for him, and he answered ‘‘no;”’ he asked witness if the man had a sabpeena for him; saw him after- wards several times until the time of his arrest on Satur: day of same week. After the examination of this witness the testimony clored, and Mitchell Sanford, paey commenced — up in bebalf of the acoused at balf part eight o'clock, aterly style of eloquence, to enchaia, the attention of the jury and vast assemblage that hed collected within the court-room for more than ag hour, whoa be gara way, without (ar va edjour: upposed to ment of the court untfl half. t o'elock the ast ‘past eight o’ a Tavrapay, Nov, 24, 1853. On the opening of the Court this morning, a hal! hour was consumed in business foreign to this trial. The ap- pearance of the prisoner wag, if possible, more cheerful than the day previous. Mr. Sanford resumed his argu- ment to the jury at nine o’clock, and concluded at tem. It is, perhaps, sufficient for me to say that he astonished every man within the sound of his voice by the ingenuity and tact with whisk he defended the prisoner, almost without any testimony favorable to him except what was drawn out inthe cross-examination of witnesses for the prosecution, and even that, it will be seen, was very mea- gre. Many of the persons composing the audience were affected to tears during his appeal to the Court and jury for mercy in behalf of the prisoner. This was paz- ticularly the case with a majority of the jurors, the pri- soner, and nearly all the ladies, of which there were about twenty present. There was but one opinion among t! who listened to him, and that was that himself and as- sociste had done all that could be done for the defence of the prisoner. Both Mr. Sanford and Judge tremaim sustained fully the exalted reputation which they have acquired in the legal profession. Mr. D. K. Olney, District Attorney, commenced the discharge of the onerous duties devolving upon him at ten e’cleek, and continued until about a quarter-past one o'clock, carefully reviewing the testimony, and coma- menting upon it, and explaining the law to the jury, and pointing out to them their duty in behalf of the people. While Mr. Olaey said nothing that,the testimony did nob bear him out in saying, it is clear that he did not shrinks from a full and free discharge of the Siecgengehie bar- then which the law Eon pre upon him. The prisoner, a nearly the whole of three hours and a quarter cea- sumed in the delivery of his eloquent address, leaned for- ward, resting hia forehead upon the back of his hands, which were placed upon the rail in front, which encloses the prisoner’s bench. The most intense interest wag manifested by the auditors from the commencement te Cy vlirsera his remarks. He has shown himself an able voeate. When Mr. Olney had concluded, the court adjourned te & quarter past tw» o'clock. fudge Harris delivered hia charge to the jury at halt past two o'clock, ina solemn and impressive manner. A dentblike stillness pervaded the court rom, whieh was crowded to overflowing. After reminding the jury of the great importance anc responsibility of their position, botia in relation to the prisoner at the bar and the people, and the care with which they should weigh the law and teati- mony in the case, he briefly, but carefully, reviewed all the testimony—considering it, first, independent of that portion wherein the sccused eonfersed his guilt of the charge of having shot Willisms—tracing the acta and course of conduct of Wood, together with the circum. stantial evidence attending the same, from the time he lef: Brooklyn, about two or three o’clock on the 17th day of August last, to the time of his arrest and appearance before the Justice in the town of Coxaackie, on.the 30th. of the same month. The Judge then reviewed the prison- er’s confession made to several witnesses, and pointed out what importance should be attached ‘to it, anc how far it was corroborated by other evidence, and closed his charge in the same clear, feeling, and impressive style that characterized the remarks throughout. Iamediately on the conclusion of the charge, the jury retired to thelr room, and returaed with a verdict at pre- cisely four o'clock, having deliberated but three quarters of ax hour. Nearly the entire mass of people remained in their places in the court room during the absence of the jury, evidently anticipating that their coasultetion would be brief, and the result showed the perfect agree~ ment in opinion between the jury and spectaters—it waa clearly the vercict of both, When the verdict of guil Was proaounced, no agitation was manifested on the of the prisoner. He appeared calm and resigned to his fate. will pass sentence upon the convict this The Jud (Saturday,) morning. Father Gavazzi on the Pilgrim Fathers. Father Gavazai delivered his last lecture in Brooklym, last evening, at the Atheneum, to a very large audience. ‘The subject which had been anrounced for the evening’s lecture, was “The Pilgrim Fathers,” but the Padre, ae- cording to his usual custom, did not confine himself te his text, and his address compriseda very curious melange of subjects which had been for the most part embraced im his previous lectures. He commenced by alluding to the recent strictures om his lectures. It has been said by the Freeman's Journal’ and other prints, that I have no right to speak in Amer> ica on religious subjects. The New York tribune alee, the organ of socialiem, has undertaken to rebuke me, ‘Here the Romanism of Archbishop Hughes and the sool- alism of the Tribune meet. It is an old proverb that ‘‘ex- tremes meet.” as I am im America, I will enjoy the right to speak in America. All this outory about my speeches arises from the fact that I have touched a fender spot in my speeches. If I had chosen to speak theoretically, I should have been called am erator; but, because I the truth—the practi- cal trath, f am called a charlatan and a humbug. In reference to the subject of my lecture. when Puritecs were forced to fly before the intolerance of spirl- tual and temporal tyranay, they arrived in this country, and considered it @ refuge from intolerance and perseou- the home for the pure gospel of Christ. After two centuries the question for their childrem is of the same character as that which stirred the hearts of the parents. There is no freedom for the baw le with out Protestantism. Look at those lands which Tor years bave been priest-ridden and destroyed by spiritual tyram- ny. Look at Mexico, always embroiled in civil wars, amd she always will be, because her inhatitants are the slaves of Papal tyranny. In New Graocada too, the Romish Noncio has been driven from the country because of am attempt to usurp the civil authority, and claiming too high prerogatives. Now, no more nuncios in New Grana- ¢a—no more usurpation—it will be in truth, a republicam country. Archbishop Hnghes asks why we don’t import ragged schools into this country, since we are so enthusiastic on the subject of education. But we answer, schools are not for Protestant boy y boys, and espasially fitted for those of the land which Bishop Hughes comes from. (Applause and laughter.) Maintain the Bible in your schools and in your families. I do not wish religious education introduced into your seminaries of literature and science, and I belisve that literary and re- ligious schools should be kept separate; but the Bible is Lota sectarian bock. If itis nota secterian book—if it is the word of God—why do the Romanists object to ite introcuction into the common schools? Because they are the cbildren of the Council of Tren: rather than the chil- dren of God. But they say that the Bible is a Protestant book. But if it is 0, is not God a Protestant? (Ay plaure.) Ard if so, we are very gisd to see and read ‘the work of such an author and such a Protestant. My part- ing advice is, that the Bible should be put into the hands of the people, and that they should all be permitted te read it in its purity. Use no force in introducing the ¢ into your publie schools, and let the Roma: if they don’t want to hear it, go ‘out. This plan was intro- duced at Philadelphia, and the number of Catholies whe left decreaced daily until all or pearly all stayed. Kdneate your people with the Bible, if you would have go Christians and good republicans. Romam Catholicism makes slaves, but Protestantism makes free hearts. (Iong-continued app'ause.) The lecturer proceeded at some length to point out the errors inte which Roman Catholocism had fallen, according to opinion. He thought th the and repeating the prayer in, was a unmeaning ceremony. He (the lecturer) hed ccedingly amused on attending church in Ireland, to rifie and uneducated peop.e, chiefly old women, up thoiz eyes in admiration at certain passages, of they understood nothing whatever. He conéluded by voying :—Keep alive fn ae of power ¢ (oo heart», and preserve ‘ae your eure, Do Dot eater the word of God to be taken from or Ceried to the youth of your land. Preserve your in your common achools a# your first duty, and then do not. forget to retain it in your families. It ia in truth your most precious legacy, asd never —— my dear Ameri- cans, that it ia the only weapon with w! to encounter the forces of Popery. The lecturer concluded great applause.
