The circumstances which led occurrence were as follows—The deceased, Joha- yas engaged ina cotillon, and when so engaged Taompson and Robert Matthews came up towards a the room—in the rear part of the roem—and that Johnston had trod upon his foot.

About t! there can be no dispute. The only question would yg b, be es laste which a, used for the purpose y prisoner or by Thom son? That the affray was between Thcengen, and ae ceased is sufficiently manifest. They had given each other the lie—they had squared off to each other—they had bandied Riss rious epithets, and clinched and scuf- fled—and they it was who were seen in the attitude of one standing with an upiifted stool over the other, and threatening his life. The passion, the motive, the threat, at first all seemingly pointed to Thompson as the author of the crime. Indeed, in one si the trial, the inference against him, as the case then stood, ap} to be irresistible. It was met, however, by ve proof, and that of the most confirma ter, fixing, if believed, the distinctly on the inoner. Two. witnesses, only P 5 a few feet from the parties, saw him draw the knife his pocket, and deliberately thrust it into the side of the deceased. True, the deceased himself, immediately after, on Being interrogated, said he did not know ‘who did it.” As he was in defending himself from Thompson, his attention might easily have been diverted from the actual perpetrator. But they saw it, and are certain. They swear that tho knife was hell and the thrast made by the prisoner at the bar. The knife, too, it is proved, was the prisoner’s knife—it was seen a few moments after with blood uy it, in the prisoner’s hands; and on his way toward Orange street he boasted to his two companions, and that repeatedly, of having done the eed. He scems to have been equally reckless in the act, and in the acknowledgment of its perpetration. He was drunk before—drunk at—aend drunk after it; and pdt to pave gee ep: except ardrunkaa, sense! ve of figl cause, rd less of consequences. He had, only a few hours belore, beon treating deceased, and treating him as a friend—in- dulging, it is true, in rude jokes, but exhibiting no indi- cations whatever of malenity, The whole transaction was, no doubt, the result of liquor. The ieepe drank before he went to the dance, and we may fairly presume drank Frequently and freely at the dance. re was a bayat Matthews’ porter house, frem which he went, and @ bar at Mrs. Parker’s dancing saloon, to which he went- And it will be recollected that the evening’s entertain- ments continued from.about 9 in the evening till after 3 the next morning, when this fatal occurrence brought them tos close. Here was ample time and amplo temp- tation for indulgence; and the condition of the prisoner immediately after showed that he had availed hi poelig leg , casi fd ‘to the other, to lites an extent, in- lee: e ess Arthur says Was staggerit drunk. If, then—and sych should: be the result af the evidenoe—it, I say, the prisoner did the deed, and did it under the eitcumstanees and in the condition detailed b; the witnesses, what, in law, is the character of the of- fence? Is it murder, -or'is it manslaughter? And if the latter, to what ? The statute di- crime of unjustifiably Le | human life, into murder, and four degrees manalaugh- To constitute murder there must be design, and longer or shorter premeditation. If the killing be “in the heat of passion, without a design to effect death, but with a dangeroos weapon, in a cruel and unusual man- ner,’’ it becomes manslaughter in the second or third de- gree, according to the case—the manner, if cruel and un- usual, aggravating the offence. If the in the heat passion—no matter what the manner or the instra- ment—be even “involuutary’’—it may bemanelaughter in the fourth degree, unless a legal excuse can be offered for it, which voluntary drunkenness certainly is not. The act of a drunken man bo A pecans, in some sense, and in some cases, be said to voluntary, or withou! design, and in the heat of ion. Unless this be so, the statute makes no exception in favor of drunkenness short of entire insanity. © only express reference to state of intoxication is in the case of « physician who in such a state shall unintentionrlly ister poison, resulting in death. His act, in that case, is made man- slaughter in the third thus showing that where aman voluntarily and Yielously puts himself in a oon- dition to endanger the life of o! , he is not wholly to escape punishment, under the plea that, in such a condi- tion, he could have no “design,” or that his action of ne- conslty must be “involuntary.” He who gets drunk usui “designs” to get drunk, and may, therefore, fairly be said to “will” or “design”? such circumstances ag usually result from drunkenness. The utmost in- dulgence, if any,.to which he could fairly Iny claim, would seem to be to have his act treated as done “in a heat of passion,” and entitled, on that ground, to such mitigati (not exemption) oo enee the law allows to human infirmity. “If, cea you shail find that the prisoner, and not Thompson, inflicted the stab, you will convict him of murder, or of manslaughter in ‘the second, third or fourth degree, according ag it shall appear that he was capable or incapable, excited or con- fused by liquor as he was of deliberately entertaining the design to kill. And you willbear in nied that drunk- enness, although it may, Terhaps, excopt in the case of a medical man, reduce the grade of the crime, is no de- fence to save the culprit from the penalty of imptisen- ment, however it may sometimes, if ever, shield him from severer punishment of death. btrietly, the tule is—and sol am bound tocharge you—that a state ofintoxication, voluntarily produced, unless it amount light on the cnr)? 2% 08, tteelt ce ltiarze of murder. ‘The jury retired at four o’clock, and, after an absence of one hour, returned with a verdict of ‘Manslaughter fo second degree.”” The District ae moved for the judgment of viha comttomnatie prisoner to ? bard @ court sent seven years’ labor in the State prison. prio being no other business, the court adjourned SENTENCE OF ANDREW WILLIAMS, OONVIOTED OF THE MURDER OF HIS WIFE. While the jury in the case of Aaron Jackson were de- literating, . ‘The District Attorney-moved the judgment of the Court upon Andrew Williams, convicted of having deli- ‘Derately caused the death of his wife, Rosa Williams, by self of poison. Mr. Spencer, counsel for defence, asked the Oourt to defer sentence upon this man at this time. ~ Having oare- fully reviewed the proceedings had in the trial, and upon consultation with the gentleman who had assisted him tm the matter, he had come to the conclusion that it was ® case in which duty required that a delay of sentence should be bad. The Court said the prisoner would have, when sen- tenced, the same benefit which he nowhad. Ifhe was entitled to a stay of proceedings at any time, he would ‘equally be entitled to it after sentence as before. The sentence of the Court upon the prisoner at the bar was then pronounced as follows:— Andrew Williams, have been tried by an impar- MAI say 0g, th View of thelr recommpataiion to mercy, sympa ing jury—on a charge of deliberately, in cold blood, po ty ‘an unoff Pt that female your own wife. Thejury, on the evi have found you guilly of the charge, énd if thelr verilot be true, as the Court must, and , assume it to be, own conscience, now that its slumbering Bac! ag has m roused by the Ce orig ees that a on, cannot but acknowledge it crime was one whose enormity admits no exaggeration. Some twelve months or vo belore your wife’s death, in consequence, it may be, of her intemperate habits, you had refused, {t_ap- rs, to live with her or to support her.

An order to that effect was made, you and = friend entered into Lie? required recognizance, , from time to time, by or monthly instalments, you promptly fulfilled its conditions. No complaint was made of any neglect on your part, and no cause of complaint existed. This order, being limited by {te terms to one year, would have expired in one month from the 7th of May. And although, on the ap- lication of your wife, its xequirements might have been renewed, yet there was no eviden: inly none ha: been offered or shown—of any such intention on her days of her death, both her lagguuge and deport. lew days er death, er and de; ment exhibited the most ptretieredtmer. ran. pe entire reconciliation; and for some weeks, it would seem she was in-the habit of visiting you every Saturiay She did #0, we have » right to presume, the Saturday previous to her death, On that’ fatal cht, impelled by @ long cherished but concealed spirit of resentment, or by the mercenary motive of rel from the «mall contribution of a few dollars to her support; oF from of the marriage nd ; I say, by some such instigation, you ‘administered to her in the unspecting confidence ef restored affection, that fatal tea, or whatever elsc it was, which et her all on fire and mate hee iilook a if tha, Bad bore laid in the grave.’” e next day, 'y, in the afternoon, seemingly oon- scious of whet you hed done, aad contraty #0 your ordi: Bary custom, you visited her in her humble garret. De- lighted with’ this demenstration of restored affection, she rose from her bed, pat on her dress, and poured out thecontents of her slender purse to send her fellow- Jodger to purchase fruit and confectionery—not to eat herself, but to bestow upon you. You heard her tale of suffering, and you saw with your own eyos the agonics your something—that ‘something which you gave her the previous day’’—bed produced.

But instead of sending fora physi- cian—instead of ny measures whatever to coun- toract, if it was not os it op it was net the effects of the poison, you left her after a short visit, without advice or assiatance, seemingly content that the fire eg Fd had ignited should consume its unsus- ting victim.

The scene that followed I need notdescribe, You anticipated it, and your anticipations were realised. Yet you now ask—and the Jury have asked for you—wic. mercy which, so coldly and perseveringly, you denied to your unfortunate victim. The law, were I so disposed, has given me no power to grant the request. It haa declared act of which you have been convicted to be murder, and it has further declared that every murderer ‘shall suffer death;” and that “no judge, court or officer, other than the Governor,” shall reprieve or suspend the exe- cution of the sentence. The judgment of the Court, therefore, is—and such is the mandate of the law—that ‘ou, Andrew Williams, for the crime of which you have convicted, do suffer death, and that your sentenco be carried into execution on Friday, the 14th day of July next. And may that high and holy Being, whose injune- tions you have so inexcusably and cruelly violated, con- | vert the intervening agonies of your sulfering spirit into a blessing upon its final destiny. The prisoner remained apparently stupified during the delivery of the sentence, and evinced very little emotion. The death warrant was then read, and the prisoner given in charge of Sheriff Orser, Superior Court—Part I. Before Chief Justice Oakley. ACTION FOR ASSAULT ON THE HIGH SEAS, May 26.—Edward Bradford vs. John McGowan ani John Boyle.—This was an action for assault and ill-usage alleged to have been committed on the plaintiff, who was a fireman on board the steamship Crescent City, in the month of May, 1863, while that vessel was in port at Kingston, Jamaica. The assault consisted in placing the Loree in irons. Damages wore laid at $3,000. The fendant McGowan was Captain of the Crescent City, and Boyle was first engineer. For the defence it was alleged that the plaintiff was drunk, ly and diso- nt, and resisted the officers of the ship, and that he had been brought on board the vessel from shore in that state, and then put in irons and confined in the storo room of the ship, and that no more force was used than was necessary to keep him quiet, and also that the plain- tiff left the ship without the consent of the officers, and refused to come on board when requested. The Jury found a yerdict for plaintiff for $500. Theatres and Exhibitions. BroaDway THEATRE.—Tho benefit of Mr. James Ander- son takes place this evening, when Schiller’s tragedy of “The Robbers”? and the comedy of ‘The Elder Brother” will be ited. In the first piece he will sustain the Charles de Meor, and in the last that of Charles, a scholar. As it will be his lest opeeerenee but one, those who have not seen him in “The Elder Bro- ther’? should embrace the only opportunity they will have of doing se. ; Bowsry THEATRE.—The benefit of Miss C. Hiffert comes off to-night, when a very good entertainment will be provided for her friends and patrons. The amusements ‘will commence with the drama of ‘Salvator Rosa,” with Messrs. Eddy, Johnston, Winans and Mrs. Clark in the Principal parte. The “Good for Nothing” will follow, and al close with the ‘‘Pirate of the Isles.”” Nip10’s Garvzn.—The amusements of this evening wil) commence with the piece called ‘Jocko,’’ in which Mar zetti, Francois, Antoine and Jerome Ravel will appear- The beautiful fairy pantomime entitled “Medins, or a Dream and Reality,” will conclude the entertainments. The Ravels will appear again to-morrow evening. Navioxat TuraTRe.—The receipts of this evening are for the benefit of Mr. Cony and Mr. Taylor, on which oo- casion they will appear in two of their favorite dramas. ‘The amusements commence with the ‘Miller's Maid?’ = the part of Giles by Mr. Prior. The drama of the “Butcher’s Dog of Ghent” will follow, and all will ter- minate with the ‘Island Monkey,”’ WALLACK’S THRATKE.—“The Merchant of Venice,” in which Mr. Wallack appears as Shylock, is announced for this evening.

There was, ap- parently, great activity in the stock, but we notice very few cash transactions. Out of five thousand shares re- ported sold at the first board of the Stock Exchange, but little more than one thousand were sold for cash. It would be well enough for outsiders to bear in mind the rise, progress and decline of the Phoenix Coal, Parker Vein, and a host of other coal stocks of the Cumberland region. The history of the Cumberland itself is suffi- cient to deter any sane man from touching it at almost any price, The Phoenix Goal stock was ran up to forty per cent, and there is now ne market at any price. The Parker Vein has sold aa high as seventy five and eighty percent; it can now be bought at from four and foar and one quarter per cent. Cumberland has bean as high as eighty four per cent, and as low as twonty-foar. The present inflation has been produced by the operation, or rather the co-operation, of those fwho carried up thos fancies before, and they havo a firm belief that they will be able to do so again. So they will if they find as many buyers with equal means. It is bat little more than » year since the great break down in all those eoal stocks took place, and itis hardly possible that tho xo- rious lonses of that time have already boon forgotten; neither {s it prgbable that there are enough new fresh speculators in the market to ald the cornering clique in the present movement. Those who were gorod before are not likely to be gored again, atall events, by the sane bull, and fresh, green material must be hunted up to operate upon, before the expansion can get sufficient strength to sustain itself, The balls and bears differ | very widely in their statements regarding the flosnele! | condition of the Cumberland Coal Company. Both par- ties profess to have thoroughly examined the books, &., of the concern, and the conclusions arrived at are cer- tainly of the most extraordinary character. The bulls sey that the stock is worth from forty to fifty dollars per share, while the bears are as confident that the company is hopelessly bankrupt. This is the posttion of the eon- tending parties, and little time will not only show which is the strongest of the two, but which is correct.9§ Erie and Reading were the most prominent railroad fancies at the board to-day, and sold more actively than usual, at @ slight improvement in prices. In railroad bonds, bank stocks, State stocks an mining stocks, there has been for semo time past no movement of conse- quence, or any change in prices. Mining stocks have been much neglected lately by operators at both boards, ‘There is not mueh pressing for sales, and holders appear disposed to wait for better prices. Quotations current at | the first board to-day, compared with those ruling at the close yesterday, show an advance in Cumberland of 2 per cent; Pennsylvania Coal, 1; Parker Vein, 4; Erie Rail- road, }; Reading Raflroad }; Michigan Central, \; Stonington Railroad, 144, on time; and Norwich and Wor- coster, 134, on time. Hudson Convertible Bonds fell off 3 per cont; Hudson River Railroad, 4. ‘The European and California advices have had no visible effect on the different markets, although the news is considered favor- able and encouraging. The California steamers bring full as much gold dust as anticipated, and the future monthly receipts are likely to be mach larger than they have been. ‘This is a very important foature—one which we hope to oce steadily and fully developed.
