The court room wos densely crowded with anxious and highly excit- ed spectators. The jury was called, and the indictment put into their hands, when they retired from their room in charge of the Sergeant. In about three quarters of an hour the Sergeant came into the court room, and asked— “Ix your Honor ready to receive the verdict of the Jury” The Court replied that it was. The jury then returned into court, and their names were called. Mr. Williams (the Clerk) axked—Have you come toa verdict? A. We fave. Q. Who shall speak for your A. Mr. Harrison. Mr. Harrison then handed the Clerk the indictment, and the verdict endorsed thereon, which he re « We the jury find the prisoner guilty of murder in the second de- gree, and xentence him to confinement in the publie jail or penitentiary for the term of ten years.” ‘The Clerk—4ientiemen, is this your verdict? A. It is. ‘The Court—Gentlemen, you are discharged. ‘Thus ended a trial which has excited a deeper interest than any for 4 long time in this community. The gene- ral opinion is that Decker has got off easily. Decker was sentenced on Wednesday by tha Judge, and took his departure for Richmond on Friday morning, in custody of J. Hardy Hendren, Deputy Sherif. He was safely lodged in tho penitentiary on the evening of the kame day. ‘The trial of Goseline, charged with the same offence, has been postponed tntil the November term, as it was absolutely impossible to get a jury. Nearly all the free- hoiters in the city were summoned, and only ten, out of twenty-four, were found competent. ‘The Judge ordered a tenire facias for Norfolk county, and there will be no further difliculty. Obsequles of a Lady Superior. FUNERAL CEREMONIES OF MOTHKR MARKY PAULA RUTH, SUPERIOR OF THE SISTERS OF MERCY. ‘(From the Chicago. Tribune, Aug. 4: The city papers yesierday .announced the sudden death of the Lady Ss of the Sisters of Mercy of this city, Mother Mury Paula Ruth, aged twenty- #ix , and her obsequies took place at St. Mary’s Cathedral, corner of Wabash avenue and Madison street, at 10 o'clock the same morning.

Ie conn containing the remains of the deceased sister, covered with a black canopy completely con- cealitig it from” view, was pl: in the centre aisle of the Cathedral, with lighted tapers at its head and feet. The principal altar of the church was draped in mourning, aud the glare of twenty wax yer. ehed u strange and funerenl gloom over the eburch. There were eleven officiating priests, among whom was the bishop, andthe same number of acolyths, or aseistants. The priest who caid masa_was attired in a surplice aud black stole, with «large white crosembroidered upon the back of his surphoe; hia two attendants were dressed in surplices and stoles, with large yellow crosses: the other priests in white garnenta, with the exception of the i who sat upon his post of dignity, clothed in the purple veatures of his high office. The acolyths were dressed in white gowns, with red scarfs. Their duty was to pass the various utensils needed to the priests, to ring the bell denoting the elevations of the host, and so forth. Be el standing at the feet of the deceased, sprinkled the corpse with holy water, and then re- peated the antiphon:— ern “If thou, O Lord, shal! mark iniquities, Lord, who hall abide it?” &e. The nsnai_ responses were then sang by the choir, and the matins for the dead were eaid, with three nectorns and iauds, and at the end of the office the antiphon, “1am the resurrection and the life,” was repeated. ‘hen the priest prayed as follows, the choir an- awering:— “ Absolve, we beseech thee, oh Lord, the sonl of thy servant from all the bond of her sins, that rising again in the glory of the resurrection she may enjoy repose among thy sainta and elect.” ; A high mass’ was then celebrated with mach pomp, by the entire body of priests and their as- sistante, at the conclusion of which the bishop ad- vanced to the front of the railing before the altar, and covering himeelf with his purple three-cornered cap, delivered a waite oF the deceased Lady Sa- perior. He spoke of youth, her accomplish- ments, the single-heartedness with which she gave up all Yor the glory of God, the self denial which she constantly practised, the unceasing One works which she performed for the sick and the afflicted, the care and assiduity with which she instilled re- liglo and virtae into the hearts of the children over whose education she presided, and of the sudden and unexpected death which overtook her. 3 The funeral oration being finished, the officiating foc laced himself befure the crucifix, held at the end of the coffin, and proceeded to pray, and the choir to sing a responsary. The priest then, tak! from his assistant the asperge of holy water an: muking an inclination to the crucifix, went round the bier and sprinkled the body of the deceased thrice, on each side, at the feet, in the middle, and the head; then, returning to his place, he received the thurible from the aseistant, and in the same manner went again around the bier and incensed the corpse. Beme other eaves and ceremonies were then gene through with, and then the body was taken by the priests to the hearre, and conveyed to its final tepuichie. ‘or the lady thus suddenly taken away from earth we have no sentiment but admiration and pity. She ‘was porsessed of unusual charms, both of person and manner, and wasa lady of arkable sweetness and amiability 0: disposition. lost her own life in attempts to serve her heavenly Father, and we have no other thought but that she will reap a great re- ward. But for the system of which she was a victlm— which took her from her family and native la which shut her out from all those woman! affections for which she was so pre-eminent pt ed, and which made her, in the horrible language of her own books, a “walking corpre,” we have no feel- ing but unmitigated horror and aversion. Woman's Rignre—Cowntpine 1x BurraLo.— We understand that an individual employed on the steamer Troy received a severe cowhiding, at the hands of a highly respected and esteemed lady re siding in Fort Eric, on Monday last. The cireum- stances are these:—A few days ago the std was chartered for an presing excursion. The fellow al- Inded to above induced the servant girl of the lady in question to join in the festivities of the occasion, and, after she had arrived on board, introduced her to the company as the Indy herself. Her conduct during the evening was not such as Vesta would bave approved— had it teen uvexceptionable, the lady would haye been justified in showing her de. cided disapprobation of this proxy arrangement. It was not long before the circumstance reached her ears: it willl hardly be thought strange that her in- dignation was raised to the highest pitch, and that she withed to punish the individual who had thus brought reproach upon her fairname. Accordingly, on Monday last, she came to this city, prooured a stont ayuide, proceeded to the boat and asked for the offender. ‘He waa on shore jnst then, but the captain assured her thas he would soon come aboard, adding the remark that perhaps some one else could transact the business in Mer place. “No,” she firmly replied, ‘I wish to cowhide him.” She then stepped down stairs, and happened to meet her traducer, who had just arrived, when she approached him and charged him with having done what we have stated. He replied, “I don't know you,” to which she answered, “Well, 1 know you," and fell to beat! him right lu-tily with the'rawhide, He ran to his room—sbe followed—he closed the door and held it —the pushed ft open and gave him a second dress ing—when eons from the window and auc: ceeded in hiding himself, He remained in coneeal- ment until the boat waa rae, Jeave, then and- denly jamped ashore and took fo hia heels.

San Jose, Costa Rica, July 21, 1855, The Onited States Sentiment in Central American Affairs —The Guatematian President—Centrat American Polt- tice—The United States Minister, Mr. Wheeler, &. ‘The most singular feature in the present political strug- gle in Central America, is, that the United States, the | the revolution then the comfortable quarters of Gen, Clinton in New ‘ork. ‘The Granadinas saw that they had him, and deter- mined, if possible, to prevent his return through the democratic comp, where he might be undeceived; for they knew well that under the th exterior of that camp there were fentlemen sapaita of explaining the real principles of (he two parties, and the true cause of | They reminded him of the fatigues and { great model republic and world’s example of political \ ae to one not accustomed to a tropical sun, of the | and religious lberty, gives her sympathy and influence to the mevarchical and Jesuitical party—the party that, aided by European agents, is laboring to convert these States into ao many petty kingdems or ecclesiastical dos. potisms; or perhaps, into an ecclesiastico-military em- pire, with Guatemala as the capital—the party that, os a liberal writer here observes, ‘under the progressive in- fluence of the Jesuits, would re-establish the Inquisi- tion.” The recent success of this party in Guatemals is notorious. Don Rafael Carrera, an illiterate Indian goat- herd, is proclaimed President for life, with the following itles:—'‘Captain General of the Army, Knight of the Grand Pontifical Cross of the Military Order of Gregory he Great, of the Grand Croas of Guadalupe of Mexico, Knight of Leopold of Belgium, President of the Republic. of Guatemala,” &c., &c., with the power to name his suc- cessor, create titles of distinction—in short, with all the attributes of royalty. " It will be recollected by all who have read the history of Guatemala, or Mr. Squier’s book on Central America, hat there has always been a party here in favor of the system recently adopted in Guatemala, The object of this party in favoring the separation from Spain was to form an empire or kingdom, and thus perpetuate their ancient customs and ceremonies; and they were angered by the innovstions which the Peninsular war and the general progress of the age had introduced into Spain. The flerce contest that commenced between this party ‘and the liberal or reputlican party, soon after their inde- pendence was achieved, and which has continued down to the present moment, will also be recollected. ~ It will be remembered, nlso, that in one of these struggles Carrera, the present President-Fmperor of Guatemala, arose. He was taken up by the church, an ignorant Indian goat- herd, unable to efther read or write, A letter wad tet ‘down from the cefling of one of the churches in nn Indian village, said to be transmitted from heaven, by the Vir- gin Mary, proclaiming him Defender of the Church and Peliverer of Guatemala. Thus commissioned, he became a formidable opposer of the great liberal chief, Morizan, who was endeavoring to make Central Amorica in fact, what she was in name—a_ republic— by adopting the Livingston code of laws, abol- ings ishing the church tither—making tho (eepecreeh| of marriage by the magistrates legal—establishing trial by jury, und many other truly republican reforms. The un- timely death of this great patriot—the test of Central America’s son/—w) deserves epithet. than downright murder, and for which Coste Rica the un-* enviable seh eare Carrera the aecendency in Guate- mala, since which he has been gradually aided by European agent: —making reforms, as ere called, until he has reached bis present station. He is now at the head of the ecclesiastico-military or Jesuetico-monarchial party of Central America, and General Cabanas, the President of Honduras, and favorite of the immortal Morizan, at the head ‘of the other liberal or republican party. Costs Rica sider with Carrera, and San Salvador with Cabanas. Nicarsgua is divided; one of her governments—for she has {wo at preeent—sides with the one, the other with the other. ‘The Granada government adheres to the priu- ciples and policy of his friend and alley, Carrera; the Leon government to those of her friend and ally Cabanas; and to the former the United States gives her influence and sympathy. Mr. J. H. Wheeler, her minister, assures ber of the sympathy Ge the present contest) and sincere friend- hip of the United States, and, mere to the } olltienl struggle that is to decide whi Centr: rica is to be republican or monarchical, he says:— "As 6 nation, we have encountered the same dark days of tribu- lation and trial.” “We have to maintain the same prin- ciples of Hberty with ceareless ce.” will not attempt to give all the reasons that may be given, to substantiate the delief that the preseut revolu- tion will decide the question for ever, whether monarchy or republicaniem shall‘prevail in Central America, for they would fill an entire sheet. Ican ein only give two or three:—First, the inveteracy of the present struggle, which Loth prrties regard as final: secondly, the determi- nation of the Carrera party, so often declared, that they will never make peace till. they shall bave exterminated the Cabanas party, and which their acta thus far prove tobe sincere, for they have killed all the lenders of that party that have fallen into their hands. In the taking of the city offen Fernando, the commandant capitulated on condition that the lives of himself and troops should be Fpa’ ‘ext day, he and ull his officers, from the scr- geant upward, were publicly shot. Third, it is a cell known juct that Fngland, France and @pain are united in their efforts to cripple the United States, and by every means in their power to prevent her extension. Could they succeed in ortabilshing ‘a number of petty kingdoms or an emyire of the Central American States, hostile to resent Ame- the principles of the United States, and 'sympathiz- ing with, and under their control, they ‘will have done much to prevent her extension in this quarter. ‘the i meddling of England in. the politics of Central and more especially in Guatemals, is proverbial. ecently established, according to the Official Guatemals, ‘ an important mission’? here, the first, I believe, since the independence of the States. What is the oject and importance of this misstonY She hax no ecusmerce here, nor any visible interest, except it be that incommon with Fnglind and France, before alluded to. ‘he incumbent of this “important miasion,’” “enor Coni, is said to have taken an active part in the late cforms,’ as they are styled, made in the government of Guatemala, and before alluded to. He has also visited the other Central American Stater—for he seems to have a sort of flying commission to #1 of them—and no doubt but he will be accredited to all of them, so far as they shall be prepared for reforms,” Ina conversation with a very intelligent Englishman, one of the eldest forcign residents in the country, and who has been for more than twenty-five years on the mont intimate terma with the Fnglish consul and vice- consuls of Central America, be remarked, ina triumphant and epimated tone, ‘1 am ratixfied since seeing and talhing with Mr. Wheeler, your new minister to Nicaragua, that Englirh principles are bound to prevail throughout Central America. Your new minister, Mr. Wheeler, will do nothing to prevent it. You bad uson the hip,” he continued, ‘when Mr. Squier was out here, but your go- vernment' did not sustain him. Now the tables are tuned: Mr. Wheeler will do nothing. Our viec-consul can wind him round his finger in Central American affairs.’ ‘This conversation oecurted soon after the arrival of Mr. Wheeler in the country, and some time before he had taken any political step whatever. When it became known that the United States was about to rend a resident minister to Nicaragua, there was an obvious disquietude among the «ympathizers with Englirh principles. It was taken for granted from the known principles of the belligerent parties, that if the United States did anything, rhe must inevitably favor the revolutionary party, which it seemed prpbable might be successful, and which the influence and xympathy of the United States, expressed through her minister, would, from the confidence it would give the people in the cause, ren- der nearly cortain, Hence the triumphant animation of my friend efter he had seen and conversed with Mr, Wheeler. He had discovered his simplicity and ignorance of Central American affairs, and knew that be would be humbuggedinto the very course he has taken, Some time after Mr. Wheeler had presented his credentiats to the Granada government, being in company with a few friends, the conversation turned upon Central American affairs. An Englishman present observed to me, * So your new minister to Nicaragua has presented his ereden- links to the Granada government in a flaming patriotic apeceh, assuring her of the sympathy and sincere friend- ehip of the United States.” So it seems,’ said 1. “When the President of the French Republic,”’ he con- tinned, “‘rided with the Pope against the Koman republi- cans, I could easily conceive his object to be to obtain the influence of the Pope, to be exercised over the Catholics cf France ‘in favor of his political aspirations; but what may be the — objects of President Fierce in this singular move, I am quite unable tu divine.” An American present, observed that it was probable that the President, or rather Mr. Marey, ‘was endeavoring by favoring the Jesuits of Central Ame- rica to court Catholic favor. to make it available in the next Presidential election. “You recolleet,"’ said he, “that an jesue has been raised between the administration ond the Know Nothings; you recollect, too, that just before the arrival of the present American Minister to Nicars ua and Guatemala, a special agent of the Chure ‘ome, 4 citizen of the United States, arrived here, a wae suid, on on important mission: that almost imme- diately aiterwards Mr. Marcy, all of a sudden. became popular, while the government of the United Stater co tinued to Le spoken of in the same train of denunel tion.’’ Another observed that he was inclined te that Marcy and Cushing were favoring the eff land and Spain to convert the in order to prevent their annex it and the re-establishment of slavery—for which \ 4 is peculiarly adapted. I will not attempt hn, or whether either, of these opinions be ¢ nor what may be the political designs of Marcy or Corhing. My own opinion jx, that President Pierce by in this matter. It would seem that Mr. Wheeler arrived in Nicaragua with instructions to visit both governments =the Leon and the Granada—and report t his sovern ment the principles and views of each. He decided to virit the Leon government first, but was dissuaded from doing £0, and Bhally vet out from Virgin Bay to +icit the po vernment of Granada, tuking the democratic camp in the suburbs of the eity of Granada im his route.

Here b remained for a few minntes—long enough to observe this state of things—and then left for the Maza. with « pro- mise to return. In the Plaza he was laudsomely re ceived, They bad learned that he was in the democratic camp, and were waiting to feceive him, and conducted him to comfortable lodgings, where every attention was aid infor they, had determined if posalile to use him, Here he found everything different from the caw he had just left.

Reworsp Deata wy Viourxce.—Yesterday morning Captain Speight, of the Twenty-first ward police, reported that a woman, named Ann Atkinson, thirty years of age, had been found dead in Lexington avenue, near Thirty- ninth street, under somewhat suspicions circumstances, warranting, as the official stated, the arrest of the hus- band, William Atkinson, om suspicion of murder, as marka of violence were found upon the body of the de- ceased woman. Coroner Hilton, on being informed of the occurrence, proceeded to Bellevue Hospital, where an inquest was held upon the body, when the following facts ‘were elicited, clearly exonerating the prisoner from all blame in the matter. The testimony taken on the in- uest went to show that the woman was found ying dead upon theisidewalk at the ubove place, while her lus: band sat alongside of her. The deceased and her hus- band, it seems, were much addicted to the use of in- toxicating eee, and on the evening in question, being dispossesncd from their dwelling for non-payment of rent, they wandered through the streets, very ill and much the worse for liquor; that on their rea the corner of Thirty-ninth street and Lexington avenue, deceased fell te the ground, and in consequence thereof sustained severe injuries, from the effects of which she never reco- vered, having died chortly after receiving the fall, From the testimony of the doctor, who made a post moriem exa- mination of the body, it appeared that the woman died of acute inflammation of the brain, brought about by in- temperance, The jury, therefore, in view of thes facta, rendered a verdict of death by ‘meningitis or inflamma- tion of the brain.” Upon the rendition of the verdict, the Coroner discharged the prisoner from custody. The deceased was a native of Ireland.

Deceased was slightly built, had short hair; wore a striped linon shirt, linen jacket, linen pantaloons, and velvet cap. One of the Witnesses on the inquest thought he recognized the de- ceared as a boy named John Healy. Coroner Hilton held an inquest at the first ward sta- tion house upon the body of a sailor, named Samuc! Small, n native of Massuchusetts, who was accidentally drowned by falling overboard at Coenties slip. The de- ceased was a hand on board the schooner Nerissa, from Hingham, Mass. ‘The deceased, in attempting to gu ashore in search of a pnil of water, lost his balance, and ‘was precipitated into the water, where he ink ere ns- sistance could reach him.

Such parties as can conveniently enter their horses at an early day will un- doubtedly confer a fuvor on the officers by doing 40, as will thus render less oppressive the labor which must necessarily be performed at a later period.
