Justice ‘Devteon says that the onfortouate woman seemed greatly sbaterod, and excited to a considerable degree.

Tt is understood that ball ig ready should it bo required; ‘Dut it ts Riso understood thet Justice Davison, will in bis discretion , refuse to admit Mrs. Cupningbam to ball. THR CROWD DISPERSRD BY THE POLICE. Up to exven o’clook La the evening the crowd continued to lucroase to such an extent that the denizens of Bond street began to complain soriousiy of the nuisance. The Jarge majority of those present wore females, and they wore loud in thelr importunities for information from every ¢ne seen 0 como from the hoase of Mrs. Canning ham, as to when she would bo removed to the T:mbs, They evidently expected that ber removal would tako place that evening, and they socordingly took their sta tions on all the stoops aroand from which » view of whe bouse No. 81 could be obtained, At length Dr. Maine, sho reales opposite, after Critics attempts to keep his stoop clear, repaired to the station Louso in Mercer street, and requested Captain Dilke to sen@ ® force of police to clear the street. Ge accordingly deapatoted three or four off} cere, with instructions to make kmown to tho people that the object of thelr morbid curiosity would not be 1e- moved that night—inteliigence which soon dispersed the expectant crowd. The police authorities bave very prudently resolved to ‘weep the time of her removal a profound secret, and the probabi'ity is that ehe wiil be safely lodged in the Tombs before any one is aware of it excopt those concerned in ber removal. Whon Mrs. Cunningham bas ef} the Premises, the ostablishment will be broken up, and the ebildren will romove to some ober abode—a happy change indeed for wer; for the theatro of this fearia) drama end fe !ofamous der venment has been the scene of horrors to thom, the dark and bitter momories of which, wh thersccever they may flad shelter, will abide with them for weir lifeume, WHAT COURSE WILL MRS. CUNNINGHAM TAKE? It will be seon that Mrs. Conningham deolined, by tho advice of bor counsel, to permit a physical exarm\nation by the two physicians dewailed by the magistrate for tbe Parpose. At the forma! legal examination held yasterday tm ber bodrsons, she sifirmed her perfect imnocence of the offvace charged upoa ber, saying that time would show sho was rig, vut declined answering farther questions. Ser commitment to prison will probably be signed to-day Of course t20 offence is ballabic, aud it is within the bounds of possibility that she may obtain bail It will perbaps not ereecd $5,000. If it be Gxod at aa unduly bigh Ogure ay application can be made to the Supreme Court to reduce the amount. And If sho bo unsucccssful ie precuring pall, the probability ix that the question of her respenailiity on tho depositions taken will be lostod by a prelim nary w7it of certiorari, ¥ WHAT WOULD HAVE BECOME OF THE BABY? It te supposed that if she had been only permitted to on Joy tho lw «imary muccess of her plot for twelve hours, the baby would not have boon particularly long lived, sho woul! have exhibited It to « sufficient number of witnessos tnd thea have quicty disporod of it As heir to the baby aii the property would then have recurrod to her, As it waa, the poor little thing had » pretty narrow escape of ite life, notwithstanding the completoness of the arranco- monte; for, when !t was belay takew from her sho squeez od it to ber breast so ailvotionatoly that if two oflcers bad not taken hodof herarmethe Burdeli heir would havo been Filed with indocss. In that event, a nice question woul! have arisen whether the District At and the other oounterpiotiern had pot been accessoriesjto the chila’* joath, and were not expored to indictinent for infanticide, Ast is, however, Miss Elizabeth Anse An derson (for that le the child's name) iseufoand sauy ta the materzal bosom.

Dr. Wek, who was called in wo visit Mrs, Oanoingham 1a Wednesday, tt appears bad no previous @ qaalstanoo with ber cr ber family, but was called on ina parry profes stenal wey, by whose advice or at whoro insti ution ho tw entirely gnorent 18 reeme that an offlser caliod at his of fice and requosied him to come’ and reo the hady, an abo wor in immediate need of mediost sid. Ho uaturally ho *itated for a moment, feeling that onder the circunestances {6 was Ct a Dicara:t thing to be convected with her even {mo bie ordinary orofersional capacity. But ssauming that be might be of rervice to a eufferl: g pe-son, he went. Be found hor, according to bia opinion, presenting all the £3 mptome of tpiammation of the stomach, or, an it is called ‘mn medical phraseology, gatirdis, and he pro seribed for her scoordingly As t0 any evidences of recent childbirth, or yuerperal disease of avy kind, he made no inquiry, or expremed no opinion. That she war suilering frou a diseased stomach and severe Constipation, consequent it seemed to him, cpon recent Giarrbove or @ sim'lar complaint, he was satisied; and se twoated her for thore diseases. Laat night he prononneed her convalescing, end be thought thas by thie morning she would bo wei! enoxgh to be removed. On:e erly, before be wan called ia a8 8 phy sician, did Dr. Fisk sce Mre Quaningham, aud that was of the Tombs; and ho states that he would not now recognise her as the same person, she is so changed. ro Bawe having been used io connection with the af- uy fats of Mrs, Copnirgham, otberwire callod Burdell, 1 etre to state that furiber thao having received on the instant a profess onal call.

LYMAN FDR, MD. DR. UHL’'S POSITION AND THE COURSE HE INTEND3 TO PURSUE, Many individuals have djapproved of tho course pur- sued by Dr. Uh! in this matter, and have not hesitated to sive it thetr condemnation, stating open'y and boldly that be was wrong (n entrapping Mre Cunningham ino tho commiseion of a crime. It is understood that the Academy of Medicino will take up she mattor at their next moeting, {a September, asd that the f lowing ill be tho poate of his defence, which are obtained from a rehahic source:— That bo cid nob enter ino the matter without having first given it careful and deliberate consideration, both as to tis medical bearing and all other points tn nis action ag an honorable man and @ good citizen. He does not in- tend to shirk the mater im the slightest degree, but will tako the grourd that ho was entirely right {n what ho did He will assume that it is the duty of every physician to keep inviolable the eecret of any crime that may be con- flaed to him after commission: for instance, ifs man com mit @ burglary or ® murder, and in entering a house er committing a murder, he gots wounded, ani next day ends for @ physician, and la his agony or wanderings may disctore the fact of ue crime in which he has been en- gaged, It is thon the duty of sech physician to keep such disclosures in his own breast; bat if a patient abuse tho cenfidence of a physician by disclosing that be or she meditates the commissinn of a crime, especially ono whi h would endanger tho eafety of the Stato or of indi- viduals, and, further, one which !t was not nodessary to disclose in orcer that the physician might prossribe intel Iigently, itis then the bounden daty of auch phyesicien, asa god ciizen, to make that gisc'osuro svown tothe eutho- rities, in order t prevont such crime being consem mated. Jn such cases {t ig a disclsare of a crime before the fact. Ho will further say that be has yet to icarn that his being professional man «nds member of the Academy of Medicine, absolves bim from his duty as a good citizen to prevent crime; and in the case of Mra. Covntugham, ho believes that other, and perhaps more terious, crimos bave been prevented by the conrse he has taken, and which will yet appear. = Again, he denies most emphatically that modical recrot was coniided to him by Mrs. Cunningham It was net a coniience which was necessary to enadic bim pro Perly t prescrbe for her. He will tn thi connect on quote the oath which 1s technically termed the ‘ipso atic Oath,” and which isto be found in Beck's Me2\:al Jurisoradence and in Guy’s Forensic Medicine, tho sabstaace of which {s, that a physicias is roquired to keop a] the secrets of bis pstionts, provided they are Inecceat and do not endanger the safety of tho Stato or of indi- vicusls, The chargo of entrapping Mra, Cunningham into the commission of a crime ho wii) not dofend, onieas in ao far a bo donios that he ts responsible; ho loa res the responsi bility of that matter ontirely with the District Attorney, under whore adyico and direction, and at whose roquest he ated. Ho will also allade to the fact that ho commenced prac- tice in ibis city as 8 poor man, somo years aq», and has always pursued a straightforward and honorable course, defying any man to mention ® sincic case doring bis ox tensive practice ip which ho has ectod unprofwslonally. He has expected and feared ibe very unenviablo nowrtoty which would result from this courte, but would p¢ shring from what ho beloved to be his dety on that account, copecia ly ae many mon of high profesmi wal standing ad- visod bim te the course he has pursuod, and gave !t their uunqvalified approval. DR. UHL AND THE DISURICT ATTORNEY. There seems to be about as mach ‘atorest manifested (a We discussion as to whether the Course of Mr. Hall and Dr. Ch! is moro deserving of commendation than tt is of reprobatin ag there ts tu the incidents of the st nulated Dirth, Opinions scom to be pretty equally alvided, not as to their justification tn potot of law and morals (for thero the msjority # deci/edly against them), bat as to whether they can clair the benollt of the Jeaultical doctrine that © the end ranctifier the means.’ While the whole com monity is rejoiced at the exporure of this woman's infa. mone fraud, ball of It is Inclined to think that the triamph Overs Would be criminal « to Goariy bought at tho ox Ponee of proverriouatreprtatir m, | Dr. Uhl, who haa born runtestiog for s day or two In Wenvhester courty, re.arneri to tho elty last evening, sap- poring that Mrs. Cuanitcham might have mad> a chargo of comapirucy agnit4s him on her cmagiuatioh.

THE SURROGATE’S DECISION ON MRS CUN- NINGHA#’s MARRISGB AD impression seems to exint that that toe decieinn of the surrogate on the question of granting administration to Mrs Cunpicgham upon the estate of Dr. Burdell may bo affected by the recent expoeion of hor plot to produce a folve betr, It i@ matural eu ugh that such an {cea should be entertained by those who aro unacquainiod with the rules which govern judicial proceodiags, and with tho ip talligent coaniatent aud faithful a berence to thore rulos eheh characterize Mr, Bradford, But ibe truth is wnat all that ‘arde of plot aus counterplot which has followed cova tho Boud street tragedy is, ro far aa tha action of the Sur regate a comoerned, as if it had uever hagroned. No sir oumstance of it te before bim. [tie not tn the vomimon: in the case on which ho bas to decido, Ais Jatgment must HERA AVGUST 8, 1857. be based on tho evidenro which has been euomuuted to him ibrongh the forms of jaateiu proof. Tho onty way ta which be would be enue’ to consider ang new fat cumng to light since tho caso was closed, would bo by ite regular Introduction afer an application | hould be mate dy the party interested, sad gra. iod by himesl’, to open the case jor that purjore. This has not been done Indeed, Mr, Tden, oounre! fur the Bardell Helry, was 20 Ceriaip (be Surrogate’s decision would be !m ibelr favor, that alth agh he knew, ca:ly {a Jaly, that uns atrempt to get upan belr to the Rerdel! esate would be made by Mre.

He was willing, be said, 10 ies ihe cage rest entirely upop the evidence pro- duced b: fore the Surrogate on the trial. In the same spirit the caltforn'a commission, which wunld baye caused eome monshe delay, waa indeflaitel, postponed, As the general and predemtial role | 10 ex hauat ail »elevunt and matorial evidence, this shows greater conficnce in the reeult thas would 9¢ usual” Jostifiadle. Although the decision of the Surrovate hae not been announce’, and no (ptimation has been made of what it!) ikely to be, it is by no mans ty bo assumed hat he has not long since arrived ataconctaston, Che argument of counse) as finished on tho eocond of Jaly. Whatever (mpression Mr. Bradford may have had of tho trial or oo the argument, it is well |:nown to be his bab ¢ to look over the whole testimony before committing himself to an opi nion; apd ip a case the most ostraordimary that has ever come Snte bis conrt, or perhaps in any other, ho would paturally deem it proper to write on: the grounds of bis decision, Thero doce not scom to be any other reason for the delay in promulgatiog tho result to which it is ander- stood be came to loug before the recent devolopemonts. He stated eborily after tho close of the case that he had came to @ decision upon it. When the counsel had closed their argument he gave them permission to hand (n any more pointe cr writien arguments that thoy might desire to, remarking at tho same time, “I do not moan to say that I have not made up my mind, bat it te subject to @ roview of tho testimony.” This indicates pretty clearly that bie mind was then made up, and his constant admission, ever since, that his mind was made up as to his decision, implies that a review of the evi- depoe bas not changed it. Bince the lave criminal attempt has been mado by Mrs. Cur nipgbam, be bes told several persons that this would Dot affect bis decision tp the least—that bis mind has born mado up for sometime.
