8 YOUNG AFRICA IN CONVENTION. Wetional Convention of Colored Americans. Grand Rally of Colored Folks at Phila- delphia. WOMEN’S RIGHTS ENDORSED. MEASURES TO PROMOTE THE CAUSE OF THE NEGRO, &e., &o., &e. Our Spectai Report. The national convention of colored persons called by resolution adopted in New York at the national assem- Dlage held in May last, met on Tuesday morning last at Franklin Hall, Sixth sireet, Philadelphia, when there was a very large attendance of the race. The convention grew out of a similar orgenization which met at Roches. ter, N. Y., in July, 1858, its object being to deliberate on the condition of the Afiican race ia the States of Ameri- ca, and to consider and propose such means as will best tend to promote its welfare and elevate the social condi tion of its members, At the assembling of the convention the certificates o election as delegates wore handed in, and Rev. Stephen Smith was chosen as temporary chairman, Davis Turner acting as secretary, ‘The call of the mecting as issued by the Central Com- mittee, consisting of Willlam J. Wilson, Stephen Smith, and John W. Lewis, was then read, It has already been published in the HEnato. On motion, the call was endorsed by the meeting. A motion was then made (und it called upa lengthy de- bate as to the necessity of it) to appoint a committee of three to examine the credentials presented. Notwith- Standing considerable opposition, the motion prevailed, and J. T. Smith, of Philadelphia; Stephen Myers, of New York, and Rev. A. G. Beman, of Connecticut, were ap- pointed, after nomination by the members, by the chair. Rev. J. C. Byway then offered up an appropriate prayer, aad speeches were made by several persons pre- rent, while awaiting the report of the Committee on Cre- Sentials. ‘The ChasMay led, congratulating the members on the unanimous response of the colored poople to the call of their delegates. Ae 10 upon this meeting as the first hail hit true true in‘o the collin, wherein is to be buried the laws and customs of slavery; its death blow has been struck, and its cof is prepared, and now the prospects ot the’ negro lock up aud brighten. He continued with an earnest appeal to the members to forget sectional dif- ferences, and so to conduct their business that their de- Liverations in goingforth to the world may command re- spect, and thus bring forth an abundant and welepme harvest of gain to the negro people at large. He con- cluded by bidding the members trom afar a hearty wel- come Rev. Lzonarp A. G: of Massachusetts, followed with a few words. ile thought that now, indeed, he might go home and tell his constituents that’ the child is boen.’? Rey. Jas, Caszva1, of Philadelphia, was glad that his ome should so be honored as to be the birthplace of such an offspring. He thought that while something had been done, not much of all has yet been accomplish- ed. Past experience will teach, and lias showa whet in the future must be done; and m this day the colored peo- ple are not unprepared for the great struggle. Making Speeches and adopting resclutions is not, however, the way to improve the sace; something more practical is needep; and this convention stands the new laid corner stoue of the work of progross. ‘The Committee on Credentials then reported that there present from New York sixteen membors—Vhilip A. i, of the Jntelligencer; Cv Williams, J. J. Simons, Edward V, Clark, Pete: Porter, Dr. J. McCune Smith, Wiiliam C. Innis, J. W, B. Smith, John Wiliams, Henry H. Beverly, John W. Hanter, Edward Crosby, Randail 1. Kenney, Jeremiah Powers, George Severe und Rev. Dr. Pennington. A motion was then made to adjourn to two o'clock. A noisy delute ensued, ducing which the oft-repeated culls for “order” by the chair were totaliy disregarded, whic! wos only allayed by the withdrawal of the motion. ‘A motion to appoint a committee of cue fron each State, to nominate permanent oflicers, likewise called up & noisy discussion, some members requiring that no ap- pointments be made until 2o’clock, to allow of the meet ing ofall the delegates, many being abscat from uecessivy; others urged immediate action. The motion was carried. They afterwards yeported the following names, which were adopted:— Previdai—Bev. Amos G. Beman, of Conuecticut. Fice-Previdente—Rev. L. A. Grunes aud William C, Nell, of Massachusetts; Dr. J.J Gould Bias and John F. Wil- liams; James W. Duffin, P. A. Bell, of New York; Rev. J. . Beman, of Convecticut. Sereariee—Dr. J. S. Rook, of Boston; Krancts A. Pureste, cf Philadelphia; and George Levere, of New York. Tue Convention then took a recess for one hour. AFTERNOON SESSION. ‘Uke convention met pursuant to adjournment, at 335 »’cloek, when the permanently elected officers took their seats. A business committee of three was thereupon ap- pointed to propose business for transaction, and ov mo- tion of J. W. Duffield, a committee of five was appointed on statistics. Vhe minutes of the morning session were thea present- €0, and gave rise to considerable opposition, made on the ground that the secretary read not from any record of Lis own, but from a newspaper report. Tueir approval yas at’ length laid over to the Wednesiay morning Bession. ‘ihe Presipest here announced that the hall at present occupied, will need to be vacated at 5 0’clock, ior the purposes of a concert. A motion was then made that when the convention ad- Journ, it acjourn to meet at the Philadelphia Institute, to hold a business session. A member thereupcn moved an amendment, that (he word “ business” be erased, and ‘ public be inserted. {nu support of his amendment, he desired that an oppor- tunity be given to strangers to see the sight. Mr. Srurwen Suurn, {a opposition, sail—t think that men who have come a distance of 209 or 300 miles, and ‘n scmne instances a much greater distance, lave come the proseoution of business, and not to be runuing er concerts, while the residents here are sufficiently Well ucquainted with the singing and singers of the city. ‘The cxigical motion prevailed by a large «majority, Tt was then proposed to appoint a committee of three to read communications received—several being present- ed from various parts of the Union. It called up some ebute, when Frep, Doverass rose. I have not risen, gentlemen, to discuss the propitety of the appointment of that commit. tee. I hope that This convection will so far respect it- self, and so far consider its dignity, as to absolutely re- fuse to diseuss every minor question that shall come up about raisiug committees. Let us vote; we have sufii- cient intelligence to know if we want committees. Let the question be put, @nd do not let us have so much talk cn questions of no importance. It seems to me that we have a primary question to consider—one to which the best energies of the'mind can be better di- rected. That great question is, to seefif we have any right to be here at all; whether we are benefitting our- selves by being bere in the capasity of a colored conven- tion. This is of more ;mportance. | know that there is t difference of opinion as to the wisdom of holding the Fe meetings. It would be good for us at the outset to Secide these points, and ruling this we can act on our yusinens. ‘The question as to the committee was put and lost. Adjourned. a EVENING SESSION. ‘The convention met for its evening ression at the Phi- Jadelphia Institute, at 734 o'clock, with a largely aug- tuented number of delegates. ‘The reading of the minutes having been disposed of, (Cuartm M. RaYMonD, of Mass., moved that Miss Mary Anue Sbadd, of London, Canada West, be admitted to a seat as a corresponding member, with all the privileges. A long discussion ensued. Rev. Mr. Hopes, of Williamsburg, rose in rake. I believe that Mist Shadd {s not included in the call for this convention. I cannot sce the consistency of asking her admission here, as sheis, to aay the least, not a sub, ject of the United States. I trust there are gentlemen enough here that have been de! to come here and to attend. to the business of our people. Let us not give time to the discussion of questions of women’s rights, but let us at once come to the issue before us. The tirst reat question before ws should be to know whether we Eive 4 right to hold these meetings, and whether such conventions will do any good to the colorgd man. We have met by adjournment to do business, and if we have #0 in reality, let us have something lesa of speech mak- ing, otherwise we shall not get through for @ month to ro L trust we shalt do our own business, We need e help, 1 take it, from England, Ireland, Scotland or ales. Mr. Frep Dovotass followed, favoring the admission. Tattach no incorsiderable importance to the subject now before us, Itmay «trike some minds as beinga very local end unimportant question whether she {s recetved’ or re- jected as a member of this convention. | should regret for this convention to reject her corresponding delegate to this assembly. against it is based on the fact that ahe la of another land—that she is of the citizens of nother realm—may sppear to have some weight; but her condition in the light of well known facts, I Bhink there Th bh those erica; a the aitietions of be man and woman in nited States are the ascites of tha colored man and woman without our Bounds. The alleviation of the condition of those abroad 4s in like measure the alleviation of the condition of us ‘ho live bere. We all live tegether. There are some- @hing like fourteen and a half millions of colored people wn the continent and in the islands; and wier- ever we are we are one people, and we must fall or louriah . Mins Shadd comes to ua from Cana ta. Ete has SSoreniten . ition there which we @anvot have; and I hi that if an opportunity syould be given, she could juced to gtre us some Nousiy rhip of this body. It ts too Inte in the day «make opposition to & Woman because of her sex. As «the impossibility of « Woman’s taking part in public vel ngs, our éitizems have decided that long ago. They ve decided by going to hear Miss Greenfield sing—by ing ladige in chureh choirs, singing. aye, and singt gow h louder than Miss Shadd promises to speak. If ts really too late to deny the right of woman to do all that man can do— ‘A Muauxn.—You are out of order. The question is up, ani int us dis- to make a woman’s rights speech. ‘our tights as men we are very ee Lone of sean. In woking we consider our capacit; first ofall. ‘That we have righte is evident from the fact that we have those capacities; and if woman po sesses the she has a 35 power, it was intended by God that she cht to exercise that power. { trust that we aball grant this small privilege, not that actually 1% is our right, for God has granted it before us—we have only to endorao it. Lewis H. Newson, of m—{ was at Liberia last summer, Mr. President, and while there I was iavited to & seat in the House of Representatives, but it was in the lobby. Iam ready to invite Miss Shadd to a similar seat; let her come into the lobby. Wiuam Warkins, ot Rochester—There is 8 disposition on the part ofthose themselves oppressed to oppress a feeble woman, and this it is that call: me, heretofore a worker and mp talker, to take a place on this floor. There can be no eossistent opposition on our part to any one man or woman who will sid in our cause, and when man comes here and tells us that he has been invited to the lobby of the Senate of Liberia, it is irrelevant to the issue, and looks much like an attempt to boast of somet he thinks that has net happened to others. The question is: has Miss Shadd a right to be here as a cor member? We should know no distinction of sex on this question of slavery, for that is what it ac- tually comes to; it is inconsistent for us to oppoce one. If Miss Shadd is admitted here, her voice, if raise will be the utterances for fifteen hundred thousand wo- men who dare not so high lift for themselves the words of liberty, such_ex we may, in a measure, listen to, I look at her @a fit representative of her sisters in South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Florida. A Mxnteer—Go it, stranger. (Lai Mr, Watkins resumed—! say, sir, the main who will stand up and say that a woman has no. ign to speak in our conventions ought to be repudiated by us. [ speak plainly, sir, because I foel keenly on the question. ‘e are an oppressed people. Here we are, halfa million of people in the North, crushed by the injustice of Ame- rican prejudices, and we would oppress those of our own community whom God has happened to send into the world as women. Shall we say for this that Miss Shadd has no right to speak here for her aistera in North Caro- linay I hope that she will be admitted. We wish to establish this precedent, for we would not have it go abroad that we refuse to admit a woman, while we make friends of men. No line of demarkation’ should be made in this momentous struggle. If we do not admit her, what do we tell the world? That we thrust her out of the convention, because she is a female! Mr. Cuas, M. RayMonp, of Boston, Masa,—It seems to me there is no need of a diveussion’ on woman’s rights; ‘we have some females already here as Gologs 108. Rey. Mr. Grey, of New Haven—With me it is here. In the call is there anything that could or does prohibit us from acting on that resolution to give this lady our suf- frageY ‘Ihat is what I wantto know now. 1 go infor her to become a corresponding member of this convention, for this reason: ax she is a resident of Canada, she is the very woman to give us some information as to facts we are’ trying to get at. The government of Britaia puts her on a level with white folks, but here we are put nowhere. and cennot find a level at all. We talk a great deal about men’s rigut—is there a man in this house that has a companion, a mother or a sister, and would see her dragged in chains to the Soutlern States, and who would not rather submit himself to the blow! No, | believe none such are here. A MEWCER—No sit-co. Mr. Gury continued—Well, here comes a lady fcom afar, and some gentlemen are 59 tenacious of their fancied rights, that they do not want to admit her toa seat. Do not let it be suid of us im this convention that such ac- tion was had. It is right that we should have her with us that she may communicate such information as she can and such a3 we want to hear. Some fifteen members here rose, all claiming the floor, which the Chairman gave to Fred’ Douglass. Frep, Dovatags—There ix an advantage in being in fropt of the speaker. I think I should not have got the floor bad I stood anywhere else in the room. We have certainly had the objectious to the admission of this lady stated in the strongest terms possible. I suppose this is a good feature for us to settle, that we may know what our women may do for us, A Menmer—I move that discussion be stopped iu ten minutes. Frep, Docarass—I object. But I will speak to that mo- tion ifyou please. The chief good which I expect ty rise out_of the holding of such conventions as these is the spréad of correct ideas among our people. Plans, schemes and resolutions for the amelioration of our condition may be decided on, Mr. Chairmau— A Maunen—I rise to a point of order; and I veg leave, with all due reepect for the speaker for interrupting him: if I understood the motion that brings us here aright, it was that the house hold a session for business, Now, if qe please, I putit to you ifthe discussion now pen ing this house is to be considered as on a matter of busi- ness on which we have assembled from all parts of the free Btates to-night? Ifso, it strikes meas a new feature. Frum. Dovcisse—That gentleman is making a speech. Hia point of order 1s stated. ‘The Cam decided Mr. Douglass in order. Fnep. Dovcrass—I was saying that the chief good that J look for in these meetings is the spread of right ideas among our people—the making knowa to them the true philosophy of reform. We are ‘a people that need educa- tion on the point as much as our pursuers, and whatever has a tendency to enlighten us on this, I lold to be in order, and useful and highly benofictal. I think a more mportant discnesion cannot well come before us than heone on which we are now engaged, not because I avnched it, because J did not—not that T songht it to be Inunched, for 1 did not; but it is up, and every mem- ber of the convention that has any light on the subject, has a right, witbin certain limits—that is, the limit of reacon—to throw, that light before us for our common edification. The argument made in the first place was, that while we ought to be humanitarians wearealso to be politicians, and that we should consider the proprieties of conventional usage. Popular opinion, we are told, de- cides that woman is not a proptr pezson to take part in such assemblages as this. Well, T have not much respect for the popular standard of propriety, for that would not only objest to Miss Shadd’s taking part in our deliberations but it would object to the objector’s owa presence here. {Cheers and laughte:.) | Bven the New York 2vhuns hat has said some mighty things for the redemp- tion of our race from chains, deems it improper for the colored man to meet to discuss questions of his eon- dition. They think it is not our business or our mission to jaw. (Laughter.) Unr business is silonoe, the wiite men being left to dy all the work for us. Lhave not much respect tor this propriety. 1 think it should be the boast and glory of the colored people that when popular pro- priety is found contrary to reasop, that we are fonnd ad- verseto it. In regard to the lady before us being from a foreign country, having left us, was put very strongly — that she in leaving us shifted her share of responsibility and left us to work. is this Kterally true? I think not. A Voun-—-No, sir. Fev. Dovcrars—The same battle that we are waging, she isand has been waging in Canada; the same pre dices against which we have to contend meet her in C. nada, and she is batiling with it with the same weapons, the pen, the tongue and example; and yet she is put down by us beeause she isa woman! In Canada every colored ‘person meets with these ebstables, the colored women as well as the men. As I once heard Dr. Smith say, “talk of nationality—the colored man is one everywhere on this continent.” If he goes to chureh he is reminded of his identity with an oppressed people; if be goes to an omnibus he is showa to be of the down- trodden race. If to the altar of bis God, it is still the same, as also if to the theatre or any place of amusement or instruction; and if he goes juto Canada he is still remind- ed of this identity. We are indeed one all over this conti nent: and one, as the people of the Uniled States will ove day learn, if they will continue to trample on us and our rights, and to goad us with the lash. Q eens.) Let us come to the merits of the case. What is the basis of your right and my right to be here? Asa man, where do you find them? ‘Where or out of what do they come Is all this from our strength or power? No! It does not rest in the fact that we are stronger in the arms than woman, or else the ox would have greater rights than man; nor does it rest in the fact that we are males and not females, but in the fact that we are moral, intellec- tual, and religious beings, and need the exercise of rights for the developement ot our perfections. The question hence comes—has woman amoral and intellectual consti- tution? 1 think yes, and no man dare gainsay it. (Cheers. Loud cries were now raised, calling for the question,” which being put, it was decided that Miss Shadd be elected a member of the Convention. The Committee on Fules then reported ‘rules of order’” similar to those governing like bodies, ‘The Business Committee then submitted the following reports on “the Industrial Schoo! enterprise: "— Your committee, appointed to report views relative to the In- dustrial School, respectfully submit as a report, that, baving carefully considered the subject in the varied aspects ‘which it presen's, they lave arrived at the conclusion that the establ ah: ment of an Industrial School, as ee by the previous Na- tional Convention, althongh within the range of human possi- bility, is not advisable. They have so concluded from thelr conviction of the many almost insuparable didiculties which Must axcnd the encerprive,, i PE PS ee Having objected to the plan proposed for the accomplishment ofthe dared ohvect, I will ofcorren be expected Uat-we will gest come suibsiiinie. This we will endeavour to do, and present the skeleton of a pian, believing that the concentrated wisdom of this convention will be able to fashion it into. such x “harronious whole” as will meet the end we have so much desired. Let the National Coun- cil, when duly organized, establish, ag a part of their ope railons, amechanica, Dufeau, accuinulating a fund to be em- ployed in the promotion of thé mechanic arts amongst colored mep. They ‘sbait organise in the several States, or any localit, boards of control, who. when they sal find a responsable p son or persons, having a knowledge of any desirable occup: (lon and willing, (or « fair remuneration, to {mpart the art to colored youths, shall repor: the same_ to the bureau, giving all necessary information ®s \6 amount of capital required for car: Fying oul of sald chjecn. The bureau, after making sich pro visions @@ may be necessary, and instituting such say ir ship as may be desirable, shal] advance the amount deemed heceseary, requiring sich reports from time to ime as will be consistent with the. prudent management of financial affal ‘Dr. Jawes McCes® SWiTh, of New York—There is a rad cal fant of,our people in the distaste for mechanical pur- suite and the faulty desire of parents to profit by the earnings # their 7oune ones without affording th opportunity to cultivate the little leanings they ha that way. Tarents aa @ common among us took on their children, not as beings int to their charge by Providence to be raised higher in the scale of humanity than themselves, but as beings—and I say it with siame —trom whom they shall receive a small weekly pittance to assist in their support. Thus it is that they are let to work a* waiters, at $3 per week, rather than tanght to < mechanics at $13, What we first want is to wake our people sensible of this, and then to indnse them to produce their ‘jewels’ and let them’ be led into the Jove of mechanics by the tender voice of the parent, and not by the harth notes of the schoolmaster. At this stage of the proceedings the hour of adjourn: ment having arrived, it was 20 done, SECOND DAY. The Convention re-assembled at Franklin Hall, on Wednesday at 945 o'clock, the presiding officers ia their seats, and a full representation of mowbers present, still further additions baving been made to their nambar, The proceedings were opened by the calling of the roll, sented and accepted.

Mr. Crank, the writer of the report, then made some remarks touching the character of the’ statistics offered. He said —We are the ministers of our own degradation.

There is with us no unity of netion, neither do our people look after their own interests.’ Then why we have not more working at thelr trades, shows ome of our great faults, as a people. We do not even patronize colored men, and this will ever bear against enterprise amongst ourselves. Mr. Roms Punvess, of Rox county, Pennsylvania, of- fered two resolutions bearing on the ‘case of Passmore Williamson, amidst much applause, but withdrew them for the purpose of transmitting them through the Basi- ness Committee, who reported them as follows :— Resolved, That this convention gladly seizes the opportunity of expressing towards Passmore Mamson thelr sincere adintration for his fidelity to prinziples, ani his heroic devotion to the ewuse of treedom, and they beg lim to accept for himself and bis injured and bereaved faintly assurance of thelr deepest and most heartfe)! sympathy.

The report that was read this morning seems to me to allow the possibility of car- rying out that which is attributed to tue Rochester Convention. Ido not want to go into an elaborate dis- cussion of what has been presented, yet it is mevessary to do a little that way. In the first place the report says, while the industrial school is possible it is impracticable. He considered it was impracticable in its present form. He was sick of imputations of weakness made by the co- lored people themselves. There is no real want of money to do good, but there is no union—no love of kindred— and thus the people would not be active in their own cauee, He presented the following resolutions asa sub- stitut Resolved, That this convention do recommend in all commu- nities where there is a sufficient nutnber of colored persons, that they do form associations to be called Industrial Associa tions, with fuch F egulations as they beat for ‘ing colored youth of both sexes in the Fr Arilstic employment, ore axtociations be Fequesied to correspond with each olber and publish the facta effected by them. ~_ Rescived, That these associations he requested to liold a ge- Teral convention om the Wh day of October, si, in the ety of ince!

COMMENCEMENT OF THE EXAMINATION BEFORS JU3- TICE OSBORNE—TESTIMONY OF THREE WITNESSES. At 10o’clock yesterday morning the Mayor's office was crowded by « dense assemblage of curious individuals, who, having seen the announcement in the papsrs that the examination would take place st that hour, had com> together, expecting to witness some rish scenes and curious deve!opements. Mr. Andrews himself, with two of his brothers (at least, as such they were pointed out to our reporter), Mr. Harland, the two Andersons, cealing her charms from the impudent gaze of the gaping | crowd, were present. ‘Who is she? What’s ber name? Where does she come frem!”’ and many other questions, wore heard on all sides; but no one seemed to kaow her, and those who did, were evidently unwilling to divulge the important secret. No information was therefore ob- tatned. The great man of all—the eloquent, the aub- lime, the tragic and indignant Brisbane, who had borne so much for the “free love brotherhood’ appeared not, and great was the sorrowing and_ disappointment occasioned thereby, for he was the great inducement—be was the grand feature of attraction. Why Brother Brisbane appeared not on #0 important anoceasion is not explained, A batch of his friends, however, were on hand, and dofended him against the attacks of the scoffers and enemies of the “institution.” Mr. Henry D. Lapaugh acted as counsel for the Ander- sons, and all the other prisoners, with the single excep- tion of the pugnaciously disposed Treasurer, Mr. Har- land, who, it s rumored, is a bit of a lawyer himself, and perfectly capable cr arguing his own case. Brother Har- land acted quites prominent part in the examination, and more than once gave evidence that he was not only a capital hand at ‘free love,’ but also at ‘free diseua- sion.” In justice to the others, (no: offence to Mr. Eh,) be it eaid that, as became them, they nmintained a quiet and mild demeanor throughout, looking more like ’ martyrs at the stake than criminals arraigned before the bar of justice. At 10} o'clock, or theteaboute, every- thing being ready, Justice Osborne deciared that he was ready to begin, and evorybody having taken a seat, who witness called up was Counctiman Ridder, who, having been duly aworn, tes- tified as follows:—I saw a large gathering,outside, and heard a very great noise, and some one calling out ‘very loudly “let him go;”” Yinquired what was the matter— ifthere had been some robbery committed; the repl; given tome was that ‘it was none of my bast answered that I had that I would so act; I ti went up stairs, where Capt. t charge; the prisoner’s name was, I believe, John son; I then saw n person behind Capt. Turnbull with his arm raised; I catched his arm and said, “Hold up, dont strike that man; there was a-person on the right side of tho prisoner, whom Capt. Turnbull had in custody; it ap- peared to me by his action that this person was disposed to rescue the prisoner; the name of this individual was, I believe, Henderson too: I told him that as it did not appear that he was assisting the officer, I would‘ relieve him from hip charge; and finally I took hold of the pri- soner myself; the citcumstances which led to this were right side, was pulling him back, while Capt. Turnbull was endeavoring to draw the prisoner along; after { took held he (the prisoner) talked very loud, and I told bim to keep quiet; the whole scene seemed to me to havea tendency to create a great riot; four persona were rested at the time. Examined by Mr. Tapaugh—The drst arrest took place in Broadway; T could not be positive as to the time, but I thi it was betweon 9 and 10 o'clock, in Broadway, Detween Spring and Prince; the person who was then arrested I don’t see here; he gave his name os Hender- son; he refused to announce his name publicly, and wrote it; Capt. Turnbull arrested him—at least he had him in charge; I had not looked at my watch for about four hours previously, and that was when I was at 129 Front ‘street; after looking at my watch I went home, where I arrived at about 6 o'clock, and got to Broadway about 73g o'clock; I didn’t look ‘at my watch then; at 734 o'clock I was at Constitu’tonal Hall, 665 Breadway; 1 went there because I belonged toa committee: no one directed me to go there that day; I left Constitutional Hall, went down Broadway, and saw the mob at the corner Prince stroet; did not go down as far as 666 Broadway; after leaving’ Constitutional Hall I did uot go to any Other plece before the arrest was made; Mr, Henderson said, “Let bim go—what do you arrest him for?” but nothing else. Capt. Turnbull replied, “I know my duty ;”” Capt. T. didn't say why he arrested him; Idid not see him ‘lap his hand on his star and say that that was his suthority; Ben). Henderson cht not attempt to atrike the officer, Mr. Burland here asked the witness some questions, all ¢f whieh he answered thus:—1 did not see you (Har. land) before arriving at the station house; I didn’t see you act ina disorderly way otherwise than by retusing to give your name. Mr. H.—Do you say I refused to give my name? Witness—Capt. Tarnbull asked what your name. was, and you refused {o give it, assigning a3 a reason that you did not wish to have it published ia the papers. Michael G, Hart, a conspicuous whig politician of the hth ward, next'stood up, was sworn, aud deposed:—I ive at 863 Broadway; I was present at 565 Broadway on the evening of the 18th of Veiober. Judge—State what you know about the matter. Witness—It would take me a long while to do that. Judge—Well, state, J mean, what you know about the difiiculty. Witnese—Well, I was sitting in the rear room, nearly opposite the door, talking to some two or three gentle- men, when | heard a noise of a tussle outside; stepping out | beheld Dr. Cockefair and some other man. whom don’t know, clinched ; the other person had on a black Kcesuth hat, and hair on his face; another gentleman and myselfseperated them; well, there wasn cail for Oap- tain Turnbull from some one in the hall; 1 saw Captain ‘Turnbull arrest tke person who had the difleulty wita Cockefair; I heard him order an officer to take him to the station house; I don’t think I saw any one attempt to escue the prisoner; I saw some one in the gangway, wit his foot upon the table, talking very loud; I don’t ‘know any of the women who were there; they are all strangers to me except one, whom I remember to have seen bafore; Thave now stated all I saw of the difficulty; I saw nothing on the sidewalk; I waited on the Indies down; I saw the arrest of the man Brisbane. Nr. Lapaugh—Hov: was the lady, whom you say you saw hefore, dressed? Answer—She wae dressed in black, T believe; I was not very near her, and did not speak to her. Q.—How old do you suppose she was? A.—My dear siz, Thaven’t the mast remote idea of her age. Q.—What color was her hair? A. Black, I believe. Q! Was it done up in curls? A. You are too minute entirely, sir; I did not notice her so very particularly. Q. Who commenced the assault ? A. 1 don’t know. Mr. Haxland—What was your opinion of Mr. Cocke- fair’s condition on that evening? 4. Well, I think he was very much excited. Q Do you think he was drank? 4. [don’t know; I didn’t smell hia breath; he was in about the same state as he usually is at that hour of the evening. Q. Did you see me manifest any disposition to attack Cockefair aguin after our separation ? A. Laid not. Q. Well, who do you think was mast deserving of ar- rest? A. That is a question which I can’t answer judicially. bir. H.—I did not ask you to answer it judictally. (Angry.) Do you know w ether it was I who ‘called out lor Capt. Turnbull? ‘A. f could not say who called, not having been pre- viously acquainted with you. Mr. Lapaugh (to witnéss)—Did you tell Captain T. not to be ao ror ? . ‘A. Lid not. ‘The testimony of Mr. Hart was then concluded, and Captain Kis: ner, of the Fourteenth ward police, took his place. : ‘aptain Kissner, after being sworn, asked whether the house 666 Brondway was a disorderly one, or whether it had such reputation * Judge—It is not. Capt. Kissner—Then I should like to give what occurred insite the room. Mr. Harlane—I appeal to the Judge if this is to be allowed? Can the witness be permitted to state what oc- eurved inside? Capt. Kissner—1 wish to say all I know, and not to be put in a false position. I Mstened to Mr. Brisbane's speech, during the course of which a disturbance arose bars wei x is this right? ‘ounsel—I ask in this right? Tustice Osborne here read over the affidavit of Captain Turnbull and Kissner, and stated that this testimony had already been given therein. Just Spbtees then woamilie’ Captain Kissner, who testified:—I did not see the first difficulty between Har- Jand and Cockefair; there was at the time a riot about to take place in the front room. By Mr, Harland—I was not at the station house when Captain Turnbull asked your (Harland’s) name; I was not in the hall before your arrest; Capt. Turnball bad you in charge when I came out; no one tried to rescue the pri- soner from me; of course several halloocd out “let him go,” but nothing further; I can’t say whether Cockefair ‘wae drunk; he was perfectly competent to give testimony, though certainly very much excited; when I first saw Cockefair it was at the station house. It was here proposed by some one to examine Dr. Cockefair, and several calls were made for him, but in vain, as he was not present. Judge Osborne then ordered that's wubpens should te served upon, the doctor, to be present on Monday morning, at 10 o'clock. The case was then declared adjourned until that hour on Monday morning. statement of TO TAE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.
