Judge Betts awnounced from the ch, on Saturday, some very important rules, whica Coart had determined to adhere to, and which wer orted in Sunday’s Hxnap. He says he willin a; oa where the public prosecutor ia not ready to pro ito tril, discharge from custody all persons who ar+ (fined as government witnenees, there being no place rvided for them but the cell of the common felon, the ger and the murderer. Tne Court, however, may int indulgence to the public prosecutor, in cases of irder or treason; but in the ordivary cases of felonies d misdemeanors which crowd the celendar, the wit- sees will be discharged, if the government are not sdy for trial, In case the defendant is not ready, hs ast farnich the necessary afficavit for postponement» id waive the pereonal appearance of the witnesses for @ prosecution on the trial.

There were no murder canes tried last rm; and consicering the heated term at this time, it is oubtful if aay of the capital cases now on the calendar (1 be taken up this month.

A shocking tragedy was enacted in the Eleventh ward on Sunday morning, (yorterdsy,) whis resalted in the death of one person, the mortal wouad ng of another and serious injuries to a third. It appears that, about half-past one o'clock, three young men, named Charles Johnson, Robert Johnson, (brothers,) and Patrick McDonough, passed by the cor- ner of Fulton aveaue and Raymond street, on their way to Bedford. They saw three men lying on the edge of the side-walk, one being in the gutter. They appeared to be asleep, and were probably intoxicated. Their names sre Michael Gorman, Michael McGee, and Patrick Scully. Charles Johnson went up and abook them, tell- ing them to get up and go home, Two of them paid no attention to him; but on taking hold of Gorman by thé leg, he sprang up, andas quick as though; thrust the blade of a dirk knife into bis abdomen, and followed it up until he had inflicted four deep gashea, each one of which was sufficient to produce death. ‘The wounded man cried out, “I’m mardered—I’m urdered!” and dropped upon the pavement.
