TUE CATHOLIC CEREMONY AT ST. PATRICK’S CA- THEDRAL. Figh mase was eclebrated in the fine cathedral church of St. Patrick by the Most Reverend Archbishop, assisted by the Very Reverend Mr. Starrs and the deacons of honor, Reverends Mr. Barry ond Mr. McEvoy, The altar wns profusely illuminated by tapers, and adorned with white flowers, anda vory largo and highly respectable congregation assembled to witness the impos- ing ceremony. Tho bymos ‘Gloria and Sanitus” from the mass, by Profeseor Kelly, organist of St. Stephen's, were executed by the fine organ andcbolr. ‘fhe regular sermon for this day was detiveced by the Rey. Mr. Pres ton, on tho resurrection of Christ, as follows:—For the celebration of another Easter Sunday our lives have been spared, This is the day of days; it is the day which the Lord bath made, Let us be glad; the time for weeping 's overapis pats, Mary Magdalea and the holy womsn go carly this morning to the eepulchre; tbey sock the body of the Lord, and they kuow not whore it ts laid, Behold the Lord 4s not there in the darkness of death; He is no longer in the likefices of corruption; He has risen, and ‘s triumphant over death apd hell, Waat joy must have been ber’s when she saw tho glory of the rising body, and gave ber the causes of the resurréction. Wo ugain ‘coa- summate these great events—we go over thom again in our minds, and make them real to our ears, It is tho vic- tory of the Son of Man over death and the grave. It is, in fact, the new epiritual light—the light of oar Lord’s resurrection. It is communicated to the fallen race of man. Let ue look for a moment and <e6 how His victory ie ours:—Our Lord came to brea douth aad the grave; Geath obtained the power at the dawn of the human race; long bad it reigocd Ger mackind, and now our blessed Lord meets Ceath, the king of terrors, ia bis #tronghold, The stkvice then completed by the Archbishop and Ne aide, whoee splendid dresses and numerous retiauo of incense beareré, Keo., the brilliancy of the ultar, refulgent with Night und dazziing gold, decorated with lowers of spotices white, andthe rich flood of melodious music, made the service one of imposing grandeur, THE EPISCOPAL CEREMONY IN TRINITY CHURCH. The interior of Trinity church, around the reading deck, commanion table, pulpit and organ gallery, was tastefully adorned with wreaths and pyramids of red and white roses, The attendance was so large that many were unable to obtain seats, and had to leave, though seats wero placed in all the aisles in anticipation of an un- vevally large congregation, Dvine service was condacted according to the usual form of the Episcopal Church, the Psalms and other portions of the exercisea being chanted by the choir, The leseons of the day wore the twelfth chapter of the book of Exodus and the sixth chapter of ‘St. Paul’s Epistle to tho Romans. The anthem chosen for the occasion was from the Messiah—O, thou that tellect glad tidings to Zion,” &c., in solo and chorus, tho solo bewg cleverly conducted by one of the cborister boys, Tbe sermon was preacted by Rev. Dr. Haicat. His text was taken from the twonty-eizbth chapter of tbe Goepel of St. Matthew, trom tne second to the fifth verse: “and bebold there was a great earthquake, for the ungel of the Lora descended from heaven, und camo and rolled back the stove from tho door of the sepulchro,” &o, The preacher proceeded to state that the festival of Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of the Lord from the dead, He went on to stow the importance which the early Christions attached to the celebration of Easter, a8 might be judged from the warm disputes that arose among them as to the season at which the colebra- tion sbould take piace. Tho reaurrection proved that his atonement on the cross was sufficient, that the Christian's neom was paid, and that he was qualified to be our mediator, What peace, consolation, hope and strength it must give the Christian to kvow that the grave has no power over him, Christ rose as a great conqueror over death, the representative of his peopls, The proachor covcluded bis sermon by an appeal to all those who fess to follow in the footsteps Of Christ, to regniate their {iver and conduct according to the example sot them by the Master of ali true Christians, The beneoiction being provounced, and the onltection mace, the congregation disperned, excepting the portion of it who remained for communion, which quently adlmimtetered, . bs sclera hentia City Intelatgence.

POINTS CPON WHICH THE APPLICATION 18 MADE. 1. The statement made by the privouer w Sueriff Bray- ton was ote voluntary gtaternent, aot sbduid have Drew excluded, It wan made to the Sheriff of the county, and aller be bad been arrested, aod white she was to custo dy, That she was laboring under iniluence of fev is ma 1) cet frem the inqoiry sbe put to the Sherif, Waat do you think they will do with me?” It clearly made Under the is fluence of the Biroogest emotions which can agnste the human breast—hope and fear—aod being 80 rade, should bave been excluded, (Peopie va, McM«bou, J6N. Y. R 884) The ground upon which statements or cootereious are excluaed when made alter arreet is, that from the agitation ef mind in which the party charged is eupposed W be, he is iable to be influenced by hops or fear to state things which aro vottrue, It is maaifest that the defendant was at the time under the influence of both there emotions, 2. The Court erred in permitting the letter said to bave been written by the prisoner to be read in evidenve, ¢ there was pot sufficient evidence of her hand writing. To authorize a witness to express an opinion ag to the haad- writing of another party, the witness must beable to state be knows the party’s handwriting, aad from that kvowledge is able to form an opinion, or thinks that tne paper is ip the benawriting of the party sought to be charged by it, The only wituess who spoke of the prison. 8 enduring: i the witness, tire. Striet, Tare witness was ap ignorant German woman, aud it is perfectly c ear that sbe bad no knowledge of defendent’s handwriting sufficient to enable her to form an opinion. (Ses her direct and croes examipation.) She could not identify any of the x otber papers banded her in the admitted handwriting of the witness. It is cloar that she had not any such know. ledge a8 would qusilfy her to express an opinion upon that important question. 3. The Court erred in permitting this question to be put to the witness Professor Porter, ‘In your opiaivn can a physician, froma mere post mortem examination of the exterior surface and of the indications of inflammation which be discovers, determine with any degree of car- tainty the precise period of time when such inflammation was caured?” In order to late the importance aad bearing of this question and objection taken to it, it is necessary to refer to portions of the evidence whicd pre- ceded it. The post mortem examination of the deceased bad been made by Dr. Jucob Reimhart. Tbe prosscution bad placed him on the stend as au expert, as a porson of svflicient skill and scientific attainments to be able to form and express & oorrect opinion, He had testified to the ap- peurances be bad discovered upon the post mortem ex- am)pation—to Presence and extent of tne in- fmmation, and to bie opinion to produce in- flammation to that extent the irri mater must bave been teken into the stomach at least two months before death; and that the cesopbagus could not have became so much inflamed as he found it by the adminis- tration of arsenic three days before death. (Seo evidence. ) This testanony or opinion, if correct, was of vital import ance tothe prisoner, It entirely relieved hor from the crushing weight of the inference to be drawn from the fact ‘tbat ebe bad purchased arsenic only three days before tho death of the deceased. And tt tended very strongly to fustain the theory of the defence, which was, that tho poison was administered by some other persoa than tho priroper. To rebut this they put the question to the wit- bees, Professor Porter, asking bim for an opiaion, whether a pbysician, or, ip other words, Dr. Reinhart, could in hit opiwion , determine at what time that ioflammation was caused. We eubmit that this was moet clearly an error for which a new trial should be granted. The question | called for the opinion of the witaess, whether another expert could form an opinion, and this, I say, was most civarly a fact for the jary to determine. Thsve been upable 10 And any precedent for such a ques tion, er any privciple which Would permit it. Pat cho subject matter of the inquiry was one about whic « scientific man Could express an opinion ta ciear, for Pro- feetor Vorter bad bimreif formed, aud was allowed wo ex- press bis optoion upon toat very subject. And yer, with the very limited opportnotties which Profestor Porter bad bad, be is asked, and permitted to express, bis opinion, as to the ability or capacity of a physician to form an opinion from the same data from which he drew his conclusions, and about which the two experts uif- fered. The different professions of thore two experts id worthy of & passing remark. Professor Porter was a cbemiet merely; be was not a physician. Eauaent ant skilfai J concede hita to be in his department of scien. That scletice, Lowever, iostructs h “in taoss operations by Whick Las Toy changed or by which they acquire now p-operties ” by does not teach him anything about the structure of the human frame or the operation of disease upon it, or the rapidity with which disease progresses, or the lene’ of time which would rocoto or ‘obably juterveno be- tween the commencement Of 9 disease aad its attaining @ given crisis. And ye, ho is permitted to express to the jury bis opinion, got upon a question of science, but upon @ quest OD © mot, and that fact was whether a physician, WLOES profdesion and business necessarily involved a ‘“aOre intimate knowledge thaa he could have on the sub- Ject, could or bad the capacity or means to form an opi- ‘ion vpon the same subject upon which be was permitted to express bisown. In order to illustrate my meaning, suppose that in a capital case the defence of insabity should be wterpored. Two witnesses aro called, one of woom expresses the opinion that the defendant is tnsano; tho other jg equally of the opinion that the defendant ie sane, Was itever heard of that vhe one witness might express his opinion as to the capacity of the other witness to form one? Or suppose the inquiry to be as to tho genuineness of a party’s handwriting or signature. One witnese, who isa bank clerk, has seen the part) write but once, but swears that ho knows his hanod- writing and believes the paper to be his genuine signature. Another witness swoars he has seen the party write one hundred times, and believes the paper a for- gery. Will it be tolerated for & moment to put to the lat- ter witnoes the question, “In your opinion can bank clerks determine with preciso cértainty whether a sigaa. ture is genuine, from having seen the party write but once?” And yot this is the procise question in priasiple which was allowed to be put. It was clearly au opaion that was sought. It wae an opinion touching the roiative skill of another witness. It must be conceded that the general rule i¢ that the opinions of witnesses are not evi- dence. To this rule, however, there aro some exceptions On questions of acieuce and trade, persons of skill may undoubtedly be permittedto express an opinion on mat- ters belonging to their particular science or art; but this question did pot call for any opinion on any matter of science, It asked for the opinion of one witness as to the capacity of another witness to form one. | aubiit thi the jury are as well able to decido whether a physician could determine when inflammation commenced, from the facta being stated upon which the witaoss might fouad bis opinion, as this witness could. If Professor Porter knew the extent of the knowledge and skill of the medical profession in general, or of Dr. Rhinehart, 28 an individ- ual, he might state the facts constituting the evidence of the knowiedgo and skill, and from there facts the jary could readily form a jadgment aod make tho necessary comparicons, I submit, then, that the Court erred ia rwiing that this was @ proper question Ta tho case of the Feevle vs. Boidne, (1 Domio 28,) the court ex- pressly held that in no cage can the opinion of a professional witnees be asked, except it be ono of skill or science. The same rule was reiterated in tho case of Lamour ve. Caryie (4 Denio, 370). In the sage of Laa- ning ys. the State (Church Wis., R. 178,) that it was beld the opinion of experts was Only admissible touching qneetions m their particular art or scence th the case of Woodin ve. the Peoplo (1. Parker, ©. R. 464), it was bold that the opinion of a physican upon a qneswon uot mvoly ing medical ski!) Of Bolence was not adiniaei ole ovulence.
