As We previously stated, the Coroner had desired an offer to proceed to the City Prison, and bring Fokel ina carriage to 31 Bond etree. Through some means this Ciroamatance had besome known, and before hie arrival & few bundrede of persons had congregated in the street, Anxious to catch a glimpse Of this notorious person. The carriage roiled to the door md he alighted, and \n custody of ibe (Beers was condvcted inte the house So rapidiy, however, was this accomplished, nat the aseembly had ‘Witlo time to exhibit their abhorremoe of the crime which, to some extent, bas been fastened om him by the comme. mity. Eokel wag conducted to the bedroom of Dr. Bur- Gell, amd the Coroner was notified of the fact. That gec- Ueman, addressing the jary, desired six of them to pro- Cced with him tothe room in which the marder was Committed The reporters desired to follow, but ‘were premed back by the police. One of our stall succeeded in penetrating to the room. The Coroner then desired the eix jurors to take off their conte and vests, his Object being to place each one, with Eckei, in the position im whiok the witness described the man at the door—the right band on the knob, and (he left on the casing of the door—it being open some two foot. When the arrange- ments were complete, Mr. Connery passed through the emall passage to the bedroom of thel) ooter, where Eckel ‘was confined, and addressed bim thus :— Mr. Eckel, in the performance of my duty as Coroner I Mest request you to divest yourself of your coat and vert.

Eokol—I refuse to do it unless compelled by force until I know the motives fer this provedure. Further, I de- © ine till I bave consulted with my counsel. The Corcnor again req::cted bim, but meeting with a depided refusal, left the room, and the jurors baying re- sumed thelr apparel, descended to the apartment ia which the inquest is held. ‘The Coroner (to the jary)—I wish you tocome up stairs with mo. Woe bere tnquired Mf the reporters wore to be admitted, and the Coroner, jurors, ~eporters end some others, crowded up stairs tothe room, We found Eokei seated ma cbair, woering the identical dress in which he was yesterday clad—shaggy brown overcoat, light colored pants, with a fur cap, which he retained en bis bead. He sppeared nervous and frightened, his bands trembled 2d lips quivered, and he appeared sur- prised at so many visiters preseating themselves thus ceremoniousily. Presently be arose from his obair, took of bis bat, and was surrounded by a crowd of some twenty-five to thirty persons There formed a circle, and the witoces, who bad been detained below, made bis appearance for the purpose of identification. He carefully scrutinized the countenances of some fifteen or twenty, and at inst cams to Eckel. He looked st bim narrowly, aud then balf turned away, but to receive some impression, at the moment beat his eyes on him again, and exclaimed, “I think that man there (pointing) 's more iike him than any other maz in the room.’’ ‘ But,’ said ho, “I wes lower than the man at the door, | betpg on the stoop and be on the en- try, and I will stoop down apa look a him.” A space was cleared, and tbe witness bending almost to bis knees attentively regardcd Eckel. Eokel bore this scrutiny with anything but composure. We noticed that his ‘aces trembled, his hands shook, and bis countenance became deadly pale. The interest evinced by the speo- tators was immeore. Not @ sound was heard, and one might fanoy be could hear the beating ot his own heart, ‘The witness slowly rose from his recumbent posture, slowly and distinctly sald, “I think shat is the man. That the man’’ The heavy respiration of the by- standers was the only response. The silence was broken by Mr. Copnory addressing the witness :— Is that your opinion as you havo stated it, witness’ The witoess—it is, That is my opinion. ‘The Coroner and others thon descended the etairs to the parlor, on arriving at which the Ooroner addressing the jory, eaid — T ehould announce to you that since I came down Sule the witness, (Mr. Joba Farroll,) bas said tome:—‘‘Is the man whom you eccused or 6us; of committing the murder the whom [ Bave polzted out?” I told him that be was, and he, the wit- Dew, bas gives me to understand that be sever knew him before, abd that he is now sorry at baving pointes bim-ovt, as be coe Bot wish to bo mstrumental ta fas- tening <o horrid a crime on any person.

THE INCIDENT OF THE DAY. TBE RECOGNITION OF ECKEL BY PARREUL. The great incident of yesterday was the evidence of Mr. Farrel! and his eubdsoquent confroniment with Eckel. It ap- pears that the Coroner recelved a pole on Monday, inforuiing him that a certain individual had tmportant matter to commn- nicate, but that he held back from reasons which the letter gave, acd which will be found in our report elsewhere. Mr. Farrel! wes put on the stand yerterday atternoon, and much excitement was shown during tbe time of his examination. He gave his testimony with an evident diifdence; it was, in fact, rather drawn from him than given, aad the various minutia may be taken as evidence in favor of bis statement, ‘When ihe witness had been some balf hour en the stand, the Corser very properly determined to send for Eckel, and con front the two together. The examination pending the arrival Of the Intier from the Tombs became desultory—Mr. Farrell, amongst otber «nestions being interrogated as to the strength ‘acd reach of his eyesight his addiction or otherwise to liquor, ‘and bis sinte as regards temperance on the eventful mighi. Finally @ noise was beard in the street, the Coroner made ® private communication to the Jury, and im mediaiely ieft the room, followed by several of them Beent Lowever, was got of thelr intention, and a number of reporters and others followed, in spite of the oficers trying to keep them back. ‘The atairease up to te Doctor's apartment became crammed, but the Coroner turned round and called out, “Now, gentlemen, you must go down stairs, for I ony want atx of the jury here in this room,"’ or words to Uvat effect. In a minute's epace, whai with the exertions of the police or otheew ine, the staircase became entirely clear, with the exer) Uon of two reporters, who remained near the window on the fret landing, and'Aldertman — , who stood near the muntered men's door. The two reporters joined the latter, and thers upcn Coroner Compery came out and informed the three that they might enter, ich they did, and (ound some six or eight gentiemen awaiting the arrival of Mr. Rekel. jurors suggested that the geatlemen ai that mo room had been seen by tbe witness below, and tha! a aumber of stcargers should be in'roduced: the intention being that Mr. Pazreil ehould have the opportunity of reeogaising Mickel amovgat acrowd.
