O. Perrim, Colonel Doheny and Others. A large convocation of the democratic electors of Brooklyn took place last evening, in front of the Brooklyn Qty Hall, for the purpose of ratifying the State, city and @ounty nominations. A large and commodious speakers’ mtand was erected in front of the Hall steps, and with the ald of pyrotechnics, music, booming cannon, and general hilarity, the occasion was rendered one of the most in- spiring ever witnessed in Kings county. There must have Deen several thousand persons present on the ground at 23g P. M., the hour of opening the meeting. Postmaster Puck called the assemblage to order, by maming for chairman the Alderman of the Third ward, Mr. Jobn T. Moore, a well known merchant of this city. ‘Mr. Moors, on taking the chair, acknowledged the com- pliment, and announced that the Committee of Arrange- ments would submit a list of Vice Presidents and Secreta- nies, and a series of resolutions, all of which were read and adopted. ‘The resolutions endersed the State and local nominees ef the democracy, condemned the irrepressible conflict doctrine of William H. Seward, denounced the course of ‘the republican party on the canal question, demanded the repeal of the odious Metropolitan Police law and the Regis- law, aud endorsed democratic principles gencrally. ¢ following is the irrepressible coutlict resolutioa:— Resolved, That in the late insurrection at Harper’s Ferry, by a gang of blood thirsty abolitionists, we have the frei fruits of those incendiary doctrines put forth and defended by Mepomacdpe abllose veri ‘That it is the inaugs. =e a crosniayy, ie tuemte of t..

John Cochrane, of ew York, who spoke as follows:— SPEECH OF JOHN COCHRANE. Fritow-Crmzns op BzooKtyN AND Kincs Covyty—It is with feelings of pleasure that I have responded to the in- ‘WRation of your committee to appear before you this eyen- mg, to speak upon the topics that excite a common and general interest. The specific occasion upon which you are assembled relates to the ratification of your county tiekct. It is of no importance that I should vom- ment on tho details of that ticket. Its nominees aro known to you all; they are proffered to you by your fellow citizens in regular convention assembled, and 1 weed not say that tho democracy of Kings county, equally with the democracy of other parts of tho State, feel the ebligation, and are always willing to support proper men offered them for their suffrages through the instrumentali- ty of their regular conyentions. It is, therefore, with propriety that I can remark, that not only by you, as pa triotic citizens, but alzo by the democracy of ather parts ‘of the State, are the regular nominees of the party to be supported with confidence, and particularly may I hope ‘that you will render them a cordial and effective aid. There are other themes, however, which ¢- mand equally yonr attention to-night; themes that are su we of the lofty principles of the democracy You profess, which are agitating the community and ex. citing the public mind. Jn the first place, you are di reeted to the support of the State ticket nominated, not only in regard to the executive functions of your repre- sentatives at the State Capitol, but also in regard to the justncss of the men and to their personal fitness for oilice, ‘qualified by their d-mocratic education, and by the char acter of their principles they arethe men who have borne the reputation of the State forward in its financial carce! men who represent the democratic’) ‘‘stop and pay policy , fhe standard bearers of the party, who have opposed themselves uniformly to the expensive and impoverishing policy of the Seward-Ruggies clique; men who, when di recting the aflairs of the State, have ever directed them ‘with reference tothe financial power of its revenues, apd not in respect to a credit, inflated by the Necessities of a system devoted to party capital ‘One of the chief influences which have assembled you to- ht, appeals to the condition in which the pecuniary irs of the State are discovered. To State pride a State's Feputation is of incalculable value. Whether the victim of repudiation, and involved in bankruptcy, or of credita- bie repute and sound financial ability, the honest demo- erat either wears an elated visage or shrinks with the shame of insolyency. It is now more than twenty years since the two opposing parties of the State took decided fesue upon the nature of its financial. act The era of an expanded currency, inflated prices, and extra vagant expenditure, was usbered in under the auspices of William HH. Seward and his subservient political friends. Splendid schemes of political agrandizement demanded’ and inau- gurated profligate schemes of State embarrassment, after year beheld the golden bubbie’s inflation. The ef. fort, however, experienced temporary checks at the han¢s of the democratic party. Tho stop and pay policy of 1846 charactorized the exertions of those old fashioned people who were not afraid of the homely but expres- sive proverb of “Pay as you go.” Their exertions were, however, of but little avail; aud now, after many vicisitudes, we find ourselves with a dept of $19,000,000 of old eanal and general fund debt, to pay the apnual interest of which the canal revenues are barely sufficient. Thus is the annual interest of $12,- 000,000—the new cana! debt—unprovided for, and that too, designedly. For do you not remember tliat it was owing t the culpable remiesness of a republican Legislature that the Comptroller of the State was pelled by a private arrangement to borrow 00) f street the sum of $385,000, with which to defra July, October and January interest of this debt, and to save from utter ruin the credit of the State? Let us but con- sider the slow but sure effect of such a system of borrow- ing for the purpose of liquidation. Of course in thus becomes arithmetically compounded, and w now but a $12,000,000 debt, will of principal and interest, have accumulated in twenty years to $48,000,000, in sixty years, to $77,000,000, and in seventy years to $1,557, 000,000, Now the assessors’ valuation of all the real es- tate and personal property in tho ¢ Now York for the year 1858, was only’ $1,404,007,679; so that, during the lives of your children, and before yourselves shall have passed from the scene of action, this process of com- pounding but this one branch of the State debt will have exhausted the entire property of the State. Bat I have as yet treated of the assets in posses- gion, with which to liquidate the interest only merely a portion of the State debt. A more serious que n is the debt itself. Whatis itsamount? A republican Jeader in our late Legislature announced it authoritatively to be $40,000,000. ry cont of this debt must be paid manifestly, or the State be subjected to the pains of repu- diation, ‘Then how is itto bo paid? Why, as It is a lion upon every man’s shop, house or farm’, it requires no great wisdom to answer that it must be paid by taxation, And the taxes which will only and no more than cancel this enormous debt, must, upon accurate computation, bo nearly eleven and a half times as large as the State tax for each county for the present year. Know, then, my fel Jow democrats. of Kings county, that your appropriate quota by this computation will fix upon you an additional taxation of $2,998,487. Such are some of the fruits of the ruinous republican policy which has involved and is des- troying the finances of the State. I might proceed far- ther with my enumeration of evils endured and still threatening our political existence, but I forbear, with an appeal to your sober judgment and patriotism in behalt of that democratic economy which would reduce the rate of expenditure to our means, and circumseribe the wild projects of politics! enthusiasts by the deliberate judgment of a sober-minded, debt-paying — poople. Fellow citizens, there are several other subjects to which Ishould direct’your attention, though but a few of thom can be referred to by mo this evening., You have heard of what has been termed the “irrepressitte conflict.” A Voick—What is your name? (frequently repeated). Mr. Cocrrane—My name will be given to you before Tfinish this discuesion; can’t the gentleman who is so anxious for my name give the audience his own ? Considerable confusion was here occasioned by tho process of hustling out the intruding gent. Mr. CocHraye continued—Yon haye heard, fellow citi- zens, of the ‘irrepressible conflict.” It was born of the brain of Wm. H. Seward. The accouchoment was de- fiberate, Its growth has been prodigious. And in its unnatural strength you must’ meot it, and fellow democrats you must meot it now. . It has been pronounced by this celebrated republican leader that the country is engaged in an irrepressible conitict, an irre: essible contlict of the free States against the slave Riatos. if thia be 80, and an irreprossible truth, it is requisite and necessary that you should know it, and to mect the emergency should stand here to-night with arms in your hands opposed to your fellow citizens at the South, We have always insisted that wo are the Jequal citizens of a common land, that when foreignors are received into our midst, and naturalized as our iaws provide, the are in common with ourselves, and all native to the land, adopted into oné common family, with equal rights and a common franchise. But this leader of the hosts, has fulminated the doctrine of an ‘“‘irropressible canflict? among our fellow citizens; the doctrine that they who havo hither{o lived in peace and harmony shall be ‘arrayod in hostility to each other; that the tree Staws of tho North are and must be opposed in arms to the slave States of the South, and that there is an enduring and irrepressible oqiflict now raging between them, and that there oan be nof cessution of hostilities und all the States shall havo Ehecome free for all the States fhail have become slave, to his language thone antagonistic systems, free and slave, arecontinn- eee ee lontecciact ant collision rosie. whale fall you what this collision means? ‘They who. tak that i gecilentsl, unnecessary, the work of interested and fanatical neltators, inisiake the cage altogether.

Let me direct your atten! ‘to what har been transpiring during the lust few days at Harnteds Ferry, Virginia. There indeed you have seen tho fell working of what has been depominated ‘the irrepressibie es fiict.”” Ts it true, do you think, that that insurrection ya" ovca- sioned by the principles enunciated by Wm. H. Seward? What can be & more natnral conscquence from an adequate eause than that dreadful and attrocious If I should here doclare that, after haying left this stand, I woul’ march to the other sido of the river this) evening, and would enter my friend and _neighbor’s house, apd sack it,and destroy it, and murder its inmates, and apply to it the torch; and if in the morning papers you should learn that such eyents have occurred, would you say that those events were not the natural sequence of my announcement bere that they would oc cur? No, You would boid me accountable for the wt properly too; and so would auy court of Jaw, or a of twelve men in all the land, ‘the proclamation at Rochester of the great ¢«)\01 irrepressible confligt (already developed in i: en) that it must goen; that it must go on until tue whole country shall become either whol! slave or wholly free, and when you sec that upon the heel of wat announce- ment—insurrection, bloodshed—a whole villago placed undér mar‘ial!aw, and men murdered in tho streetz, twelye honest jurovs taken from the body of the country would ounce all these evente—the insurrection, the rd M this bloodshed and martial law—the natoral sequence and efivet of tho privciple annonneed by the very Yo- truvius of this upparaileled atrocity.

(rons for Greeley.) But the plea ot insanity is “interposed. Brown was sane in Kansas —sbricking sanc— How came that Virginia made him mad? ‘Oh, no, fellow democrats; what was speech at Ro. chester Was insurrection at’ Harper's Ferry, What was Seward in New York, culminated, in Virg.nia, into Oasa watomie Brown. Mr.fCochrane dwell at length upon this subject, and showing how important to the rebuke of the rampant epiritof tredson it was, that the democracy of New York should, at the coming election, denounce its acts. He portrayed the effect that the success of we party would exert upon the fortunes of Sewar?, and how in either event New York State. would be the we Held where was to be fought the Presidential contest of 1860. After having exborted the masses to harmonious action, he took his seat, having occupied the attention of the vast throng during the spaco of an hour. Mr. Cochrane was frequently cheered by the attentive and enthusiastic crowd. Tho Hon. ¥. B. SmNota was next ‘ntroduced to tho au- Gience, and delivered an address of some length, but which, in point of ‘lustration and substance, did not materially differ from the eloquent alocution of the Hon. Mr. Cochrane. Mr. Spinola reviewed the progress of the democratic party and the ditliculties with which they haye had to contend, showing how the black republicans had banded themselves together to prevent the progross of the enlightened principles of the democratic platform. A distinguished general once said, in the héat of battle, “Givo them a little more grape, Captain Bragg!” His advice on this occasion amounted in substance to the same thing; he would say, “‘Give the republicans a little more rape.’? (Loud Jaughter.) The battle they had been always hting was and always would be e victorious one. They had never turned their backs upon their duty, and no democrat would ever think of doing go. (Cheers.) Mr. Spimola then weit on to consider the manifold objections to republican principles. Taxation was one of the most serious complaints that could possibly be presvated to public view, and it was the constant offort of the demo- cratic party to render this branch of the wublic service as light.a8 it couid possibly be. The republican croe+ was opposed to all progress, and he could show that thore was no dependence to be placed upon the members of this party. He then spoke of tne increase of taxation and the finan- cial policy of the government of the republic, Tho re- publican party hac retused to make any provision for ihe public debt or the interest thereon accruing. No native citizen, nor even apy naturalized person, could justify such conduct. He spoke of the position of & failing mer- chant, who goes from bank to ban! seeking for loans while his business is going to destruction. No ons would trust such a man. Every one having accounts against him id seek to press his bills. And so it was with the republican party, They could not siand upon their me- rite, because they had none to rest upon. (Cheers.) Mr. Spinola continued, at length, to press his objections to the absurdities of republ principles, using considerable elequence and tact in his remarks, while he commented in a strain of severe deprecation ou ihe recent events in the South. The republican party, he said, have got their fires ready to be lighted in token of victory —-— A Voice—We Will queuch them for you. (Loud Jaugh- ter. ir. SrryorA—But I have no fear of them, for T haye always manfully done my duty, and am still prepared to do so. A Voice—We all know that. Mr. Srrsoca continued to maintain the principles \hich he has always supported, showing how the democratic party was always in the foremost rank whenever the in- terest of the peoplo was under consideration. He con: cluded an excellent speech by apologizing for his inability to do justice to the subject because of indisposition. The next speaker, an adopted citizn of Brooklyn, sup- ported the views laid down by the previous speakers and manfully defended the principles of the democratic party. The recent events at Harper's Ferry came under his re- view ahd the principai facts of the late tumult wero stated and commented upon by the speaker. He referrea to the ns of Ossawatomie Brown avd the miserable at- evently made at insurrection, in very severe term They say, saia he, that old Brown is crazy, and there oo be no denibt of i; for everybody had lon that the whole republican party is mad. (Langht the republicans ar erazy, perhaps, with the exception of Henry Warc Beecher. But what must this reverend ‘o have thought, after the rebellion, on going to t, after kissing his children , when he reflects that tributed twenty-five muskets towards killing in- ple at Harper's Ferry ? There was a correspon- dont of the Tribune named Kagi. He thought it was a mistake, and that the word meant crazy. (Langhter.) ‘This man was despatched to the scene of the onto -eak for sending news to the Tribune, so that they might have a different statement. of aflairs from everybody else. These were tricks of the republican party. But this party was never triumphan! upon principle in anv case, and all these tricks would re- sult in nothing bunt discomfiture and failure, He fthen spoke of the services of Senator Spinola, and thefduty which the people owe him, dwell” ing particularly on the efforts which he has made to for- ward the interests of his constituents. Mr. A. O. Perriy was the next speaker, He reviewed the progress of the democratic party, going through ail the pheses of opposition which it hrs had to encounter and all ibe beneiits which it has conferred upon the peo- ple. He said that some had doubted bis loyalty and at- tachment to the democratic party, but he was there to give in persona denial to the outcry which had beon mado against him. (Tremendons cheering.) He was de- ined to stand by the princip!-s of democracy, for were the only ones that coud bring health and hap- s to the country. He then proceeded to coneider tho of-Henry Ward Beecher, condemning the propa- gandism which he is in the habit of preaching, and saying that while the ministers of Christy are giving Bibles for spreading Christian knowledge, and are trying to preach the Gospel to every creature, Boccher {8 contributing rifles and endeavoring to teach the abolitionisss to ‘shoot the Gospel into every creature.’ (Loud and uproarious laughter.) The rest of Mr. Perrin’s speech was much in the same strain, The other speakers were ex-Juéges Moore and Garri- son and Thomas A. Garduer, &c. They ali united in de- nouncing the “irrepressible conflict’ principle so disas- trously ‘illustrated at Harper's Ferry, and the party headed by Seward, who privately and publicly haye countenauced and encouraged the acts of Brown, and cailed upon the democracy to unite their votes toa man to throw ihe disunionista out of power by electing tho ticket which contained the names of men who love order and prosperity, and desire the establishment of law through- out cvery part of the Union. They also reiterated mavy of the sentiment: put forward by the first speakers, aud be addresses were grected with much cheering and en- husiagin, Festival of the St. Vincent de Paul So- ciety for the Benefit of the Poor. The third annual festival and fair of the So. iety of St. Vincent de Paul commeneod last evening at the City Assembly Rooms, which were crowded to excess by per- sons of almost every class, from the priest down to tho laborer. The large double room was filled with stands, tcaded by tho fairest of tho fair, and containing all sorts of articles—dolls, horses, cows, pigs, dog’, cuts, rats, mice, jumping-jacks, prayer-books, culinary utensils, paintings, crockery ware, ships, firemen, peacocks, eagios Jewelry ef every description, stiver baskets aud cups, wo last, but by no incans least, food for the “inner man.” in the’ way of tompting looking edibles and drinkibles, The enchanting specimens of femaie loveliness were un- doubtedly the greatest attraction, and by. the winniug conxing, irresistible ways in’ which thoy ‘mado their ap? peals, manayed (o attract considerable loose cash from the pookets of the subdued Tords of creation.” ‘The hard. est hearts melted and the tight-st purse strings loosened before the persuasive eyes und words of the dear coaxers, who were heard on every side exclaiming “Want you please take a chanoe?—anly 25 ccnta,” or * Do try once,” or “If you try hero you will be sure to win,” anda thousand other such like phrases. Some of the fast young bricks wished that the lovely creatures themse!ves, like tho fair Portia, were only prizes, so that they might haye a chonce of winning. Among those who mingled in the pictus resque scene were several distinguished clergymen, who came ‘down with the dust’ as heavily as any others, and greatly covtributed to the spicit_ and success of the first niglit of the festival. The pen ané Father Starts, V, G., Dr. Cummings, Rev. Mr. Quinn, of St. Potor’sgDr. Mo: Evoy, of tho Cathedral, and many more were present. The churches represented were ‘Trans: ion, St. Peter's, St. Andrew's, St. Patrick's, St. ¥y; Xavier, St. Joseph’s, St. Stephen’s, the Holy Cross and St. James’. ‘The festival is got wp entirely for the benoiit of tho Poor; and as it is to last for four days thero will be ample Opportunity for all who may desire to go visit it.

BARTLETT, Mr. Epavyp ©. Srepwar, 106 Eust Fourteenth street. Accompanying this letter was tho following oxtraordt- nary document, which Mr. Stedman was asked to siga:— 1, Edmund ©. Stedman of New York, having, admitted to ‘Washington A. Bartlett, Esq., a8 per my note of ber 19th inst., that “Tam the Edmund C. Stedman referred to in your (his) letter, and the author of a’ poem called “Tbe Diamond Wedding,” published in yesterday's Tribune,” (18th Oct. inst.), do hereby declare that Y publicly recall gai poem from cir: culation, aud hereby forbid its republication, declaring that said poem, in all that relates to Mr. and Mrs: Bardett, Mr. de Oviedo, aud his bride, to be an entire perversion of the favis of the case, and utterly unworthy to have been written or pub lished by me at apy time or place, and much more, of par ties whom T do not know personally, and who have not in any manner conducted themselves as related by me in that poem. T therefore make this publle rec said poem, anc apologize to Capt. Bartlett and Senor de bie - Kes for all allusions to them, and to the public for having weit- ten and published said poexs. At this stage oi the correspondence, my own connection with the aflair commenced. Iwas sent for on Thursday ing, October 20, by Mr. Stedman, who showed mo the above correspondence, and. requested me to act as hisfriend. After reading the letters, I told him there was but one construction to be planet upon the matter, and hat, in my vpinion, Mr. Bartlett's letter wasas direct an invitation as was ever written, either to sign the apo- Jogy he sent or to fighta duel. Although I was opposed tothe duello, I had no hesitation to act, since I was sa- tisfled that a man who could ask anotffer to sacrifice his velf respect. ¢0 far. as to sign the absiird and degrading apology he had sent, could not himself possess self respect enough to s'und toa challenge. Furthermore, I supposed Mr. Bartlett possessed’ common senso enongh to know that to provoke a duel on go trivial a matter, in a com- munity where duelling v3 held m abiforrence, would be to subject himself to an amount of ridicule and contempt he would be unwilling toincur, Further, that since there was nothing in the pocm deserving tle censure Mr. Bartlett had given it, there wag, of course, nothing to apo- logize for, and that in my opinion the proper course was to reply to this effect denying the charges of Mr. Bartlett and refusing any apology. Mr. ST=pMAN concurred in this view of the matter, and ‘wroto the following reply, which I,as his friend, deliverod to Mr. Adams on Friday morning:— No. 106 East Founrerxru Stree, Oct. 19.

Furthermore, thet Mr. Bartlett now claimed that Mr. Stedinan was not his «qual socially, and on this ground he could not consent to meet him. To this I replied, that to commence legal proceedings after having virtually challenged Mr. Stedman was an extraordinary and dishonorable course of conduct, and could bo regarded in no other light than a subterfuge to shield him from the consequences of his own acts. Fur- thermore, that Mr. Stedman's social position could not sutler by a comparison with Mr. Bartlett's, since Mr. Sted- man’s family now moved in tho best circles of Florence, his father having been Chargé d’A/7ires in Sardinia, un- der President Taylor, since wiich tine he has resided in Ttaly; and thet Mr. Stedman is a gentleman of education and refiuement, and numbers among his relatives and friends some of the best families in New York; that Captain Bart- lett had himself recognize! Mr. Stedman's equality by commencing such a correspondence; and that now to plead social superiority could only be considered as a pre- text to avoid a meeting. Mr. Adams s‘ated that Mr. Rartlett had requested him to wait until three o’clock on Saturday afternoon for his do- cision, whether he would resort to legal or other mea- sures, and that he would let me know tho resalt on Satur- day évening. Accordingly, on Saturday evening Mr. Adams called and informed me that Mr, Bartlett had de- cided to prosecute for libel, and that he (Adams) had told him ho could have nothing to do with the matter. Mr. Adams also gave me a note from Mr. Bartlett to Mr. Stedman, which, upon pernsal, I found to contain a threat of lega! prosecution, coupled with what I regarded as a gross personal insult to my frien?. T therefore dectined to deliver the letter to Mr. Stedman, and returned it to Mr. Bartlett, with anote, in which I told him that as I was not Mr. Stedman’s legal adviser, and could not be the bearer of @ personal ingult to him, I declined to do- liver the note, and that since Mr. Adams informed me he ‘was no longer acting as his friond in the matter, so far as a nostile meeting was concerned, 1 had no other way of informing him of my determination than to address him personally. To this note I received one in reply from Mr. Bartlett, in which he denied having invited Mr. Stedman to a hos- tile meeting, and closed as fullows:—‘‘I stand oa my rights and the law.” These are the simple facts of the case, and the whole affair may be summed up as fetlows:—Mr. Bartlett chal- lenges Mr. Stedman unless he @igns a degrading apology; and as soov as Mr. Stedman refuses to apologise, backs out of his chal! age, and commences legal proceedings, under plea that Mr. Stedman is not bis social equal—a pes as false as it is dishonorable—one which, even if it were not false, he went too far to set sp, when he recog- nized Mr. Stedman’s cquality by commencing a hostile corresponcence. Tt is due to Mr. Avams to state that his conduct in the affair has been that of a high-minded gentleman. A, ©. HILLS.

Oct. 24.—The People vs. Quimbo Appo.—The Judge de- livered the foKowing opinion in relation to the application of Quimbo Appo for a now trial:— Roossveur, J.—Tho prisoner Appo, a Chinaman by birth, was convicted ata Court of Oyer and Terminer, held in Apri! last, of the crime of murder. Sentence of death was p> ~ovnced upon him, but ite execution was temporarily ded by the intervention of the Gover- nor, to enable the defendant to apply for a new trial. ‘That application he now makes, at a different term of the court, on various grounds stated in the papers, The Dis- trict Attorney objects to its being granted: firet, bocause the Court, a8 Le insists, has no power; and second, be- cause, in his yiew, the reasons alleged are insutlicient. After much examination anq rellection I have come to the m the! these object are net well founded. ‘The Oyer and Terminer is the highest court of original faraseten in criminal cases, Although at one time, in ‘the earlier periods of English history, a mere temporary ‘commissien, it has long gince ceased to be so, and is now a permanent court of record, recognized in the constitution as an existing superior tribunal over which a Judge of the Supreme Court is to. preside, and not, according to the language of that instrument, an “inferior court,”? to be established at will by the Legislature, and to be abolished at any time by the sume authority, And in a recent stauae, (ch. 75, sec. 1,) passed in 2654, it is not only spoken of as having, like the Supreme Conrt, its re- gular terms, but—somewhat inaccurately, perbay being “the Court of Oyer and Termiver ‘of this Tho Coda, too (see. 20), declares that there shall bo at least. two terms.of the Circurt Court and Court of Oyer and Terniiner held annually in each of the counties, &c. But although a continuous court, and pot a temporary organization, dying at each final adjournment, it may still, it is contended, have no power to grant new trials. Jn the case of Garncl, (1 Parker, 256,) decided in 1851, a motion for a new trial was entertained, ana was denied, not on the dof want of power, although the point was raised, but on the ground of want of merits. In the cage of Morrison, (same vol., 626,) three years later, the whole subject was elaborately discussed by Judge Harris, ai] the previous authorities being reviewed, and a new trial granted. ‘Tho practice in England, it way be conceded, is not to grant new trials in casos of felony, but to leave the party, however strong the evidence may be of his innocence, to an appheation for the royal mercy. Such a practice may perhaps be in harmony with the Spirit of a monarchical government; but, in the language of our constitution, it is “repugnant to the government” estxblished by us; and, with all other parts ot the common law of like character, has been, on three successive occasions, ‘abrogated and rejected” by our people. (Constitution of 1787, sec. also Conet. of 1822, art. 17; also Const. of 1846, art. 1.) There is no fitness in compelling a free citizen, if inno- cent, to sue for pardon. Pardon implies guilt. We may well imagine a case in which the supposed victim of an alleged murder should appear in full life after sentence of death had been pronounced against his supposed mur- derer, Shall it be said, under ovr system of law, that with such newly discovered evidence staring it in the face, the Court has no power to grant a new trial? In the language of Judge Harris, “the 1ost obvious principles of common justice require it?’ and, ‘upon authority,” also, Tconcur in regarding the power of the Court to grant a new trial, where the circumstances clearly call for it, “as established beyond all possible controvorsy.”’ (Soo the cases collected in I Parker, 625.) ‘The next inquiry then is, has a sufficient case been made to warrant the intervention of the Court? Laying out of view—for I attach no importance to it— the aifldavit of Twaddel, I think it quite clear on the other papers presented, that the prisoner’s poverty and his jgnorance of our’ customs and institutions, natural toa Chinese subject, have deprived bim of the benefit of sub- stantial matters of defence, which, bad they been pre- sented, would, in all. probubility, have led tw a different result—to a verdict of manslaughter, instead of murder, if not to a verdict of acquittal. IXPORTANT CHARGE TO THE GRAND JURY ON THE ELECTION LAWS. ‘The panel of Grand Jurors was then called, when the following were sworn:— eodore Martine, foreman; Jobn A. Appleby, Jerele Bull, David B.

Bribe Judge delivered tho following charge: The functions, gentlemen, of a Grand 80 often stated and published that ne well son can fail to be acquainted with them. Your oath in general terms clearly prescribes your general duties. ‘Chere are several particular statates, however, to which Jam required by law to call your special attention. They are the statutes against lotteries, against usury, against oflicial extortion, against drunkenness, against misconduct in reference to election, and against disclosing indictments for felony until the accused shall have been arrested. As a general election is near at hand you are more im- mediately eatled upon to take notice of all offences which may have been, or which during your session shall be committed, in violation of any of the proc ings of tho wlection law—such us false swearing, falso subornation, bribery, menace, wrongful and double voting, aud cheat- ing by false ballots. ‘One section of the law, having a present application, and being supposed to be frequently violated, it is proper Ishould read to you. “Tt shall not be lawful,” says that section, “for any candidate for any election office, with intent to promote his election, er for any other person with intent to promote the electien of any such candidate, either, 1. To provide or furnish entertainment at his expense, to any meeting of electors, previous to, or during the election at which he shall be a candidate; er, 2. To pay for, procure, or engage to pay fer, any such entertainment; or, 3. To furnish any money or other property to any per- son, for the purpose of being expended in procuring the attendance of voters at the polls; or, 4. To engage to pay any money or deliver any proper- ty, or otherwise compensate any person for procuring the attendance of voters at the polls; or, 5. To contribute money for any other purpose intended toypromote an election of any particular pecson or ticket, except for defraying the expenses of printing, and the cir- culation of vote, handbilis and other papers previous to any such election, or for conveying sick, poor or inurm Your foreman, gentlemen, appointed, as the law re- quires, by the Court, will administer oaths to such wit- nesses a8 may be summoned before you; and your clerk or georetary, one of your own number to be designated by yourselves, will preserve the minutes of your proceedings and of any evidence you may receive. "When an indict- ment sbali be found—which, you will remember, requires the concurrence of at least twelve of your number—your foreman will certify it to be a true billand present it in your presence to the Court. Although twelve are sufll- cient to concur, sixteen or more must be present. For apy further legal advice you are authorized from time to time to apply to the District Attorney, whose duty it is, when required by you, to attend your deliberations, and who has the right algo, on his own request, io appear ‘before you to give such information as he may deem ne- cessary and proper, relative to any_ matter cognizable by you. In your respective spkeres I have no doubt you will most cheerfully aid each other to execute the laws and bring offenders to justice. The Grand Jury then retired, and in about an hour came into Court with a bill of indictment; bat as the party is not arrested its nature cannot be made public.

Decrease. ‘This is one of the best statements the New Youk city banks have evor made. The increase of specie is larger than was expected. The increase in loans is nominal, and the deposits are nearly a million and a half higuer than last week. Such statements are well calculate to encourage public confidence and to assist in the re-estab- lishment of trade ona secure basis. The Baltic arrived this evening, with pearly two millions of specie on board, which will enable the drawers to ship freely on Wednesday and Saturday without reducing the bank resorve below twenty millions. We have seldom seen an October which has been, under the circumstances, so well ended by the banks ae this prosont month promtses to be. ‘The complaint in the money market is of the scarcity of desirable paper, The regular rate for first class ac. coptances under 60 days is now 5}{ por cent, and money is left with the Srokers at and below that rate, From — 1,476,048 2, present indicatte.s3 tt locks as though money would role | yery low all wintcs; thougls # is possivie that a reviyal of © commerce in the West may yet make the banks here feel the want of the specie they have lost. Foreign exchange for Wednesday's steamer direct for Liverpool opens with moro strength. The leading drawers all ask 1103; for 60 day sterling bills and 110% aX for short sight; for francs 5.10 for short sight and 6.13% & 6.183¢ for 60 day bills on Paris. At those rates it seems there is a fair d.mand for bills, created for the most part by the ease in the money market. From present prospects the steamer on Wednesday should take out from a mil- lion to a million and a half in specie—a larger sum than ‘was expected on Saturday; 80 that the total shipmentof the week may amount to nearly three millions of dollars. The shipment of coin against bills at the present rates of ex- change leaves an extremely small margin for profit, especially as shippers are now paying enhanced rates of insurance, and the bullion market on the other side does not look very buoyant. Until, however, cotton or pro- duce bills come forward more freely than they are now doing, shippers will continue to draw against specie, and will sell their bills as high as compotition will permit. The agent of the Cunard line has reduced his rate of freight on sums exceeding $200,000 to 3-16, which is only 1-16 higher than the rate of the screw steamers; at this charge, during the severe winter months, the Cunard ehips will probably get the lion’s sbare of the business ‘The following are the latest quotations of sight exchange on New York at the cities mentioned:— ‘There is no change of note in the stock market. There is very little outside buying or selling; the street opera- tors are unusually quict; prices vary but little. The only change to-day was a decline of 1 per cent in South- ern guaranteed, and of 2 per cent in Michigan Central, and a further advance of 3 per cent in Panama. Cen- tral does not vary 4 per cent aday. We have seen a letter from Albany denying the generally received re- Port that the freight earnings had fallen’ off during the second week in October; but all these Albany stories must be received with caution. The fable bout an in- crease of $100,000 during the first fortnight of September came from the very best Albany authority; it did no little misehief. Galena and Rock Island were steady, with a moderate business. The sluggishness of these stocks shows how slow the public are to move, and how deeply seated is the genera! distrust of railway property. Here are roads whose funded debts are compara- tively trifling, which have no floating debt, which, during the worst railroad year ever known, earned their expenses, interest, sinking fund, and atrifle toward a dividend on their stock, and on wifich, at the present time, traffic is increasing at the rate of 24 a 36 per cent over last year. Yet the public show 86 litue anxiety © buy either, that the one has declined 5, the other 8 per cent within a few weeks. Hudson River advanced 34 per cent. This ig another stock which a revival of spe- culative activity would be likely to affect. ‘There was very little done in State stocks or bonds; but prices were firm. In the afternoon the market was unchanged, and stocks closed dull at the following quotations:—Missouris, 847% a. 85; Canton, 173g a 3; Cumberland Coal, 1414 @ 34; Pa- cific Mail, 72. 14; New York Central, 8024 a 3; Erie, 634 a 34; Hudson River, 3634 a 36; Harlem, 9X a 10; do. pre- ferred, 3634 a 4%; Reading, 383% a 39; Michigan Central, 39% a 40; Michigan Southern, 41/ a 5; do. guar- anteed, 1434 a 3{; Panama, 124 a 34; Illinois Central, 663; a 67; Galena and Chicago, 7334 a #4; Cleveland and Toledo, 9834 a X; Chicago and Rock Island, 6824 a 34. ‘The facts developed during the late trial of Warren Le- land, at Colchester, Connecticut, on charges growing out of the disgraceful failure of the Colchester Bank, should receive careful study at the hands of mombers of the Committees on Commerce in Congress. It was delibe- rately asserted, on oath, by the cashier of the Colchester ‘Bank, that the capital of that bank was for the most part made up by fictitious promissory notes and other fraudu- lent securities, and that for a large proportion of the notes of the bank which were put into circulation here and elsewhere that institution received no consideration whatever. In other words, Cashier Jones tells us that the whole establishment was a swindle on the public—a bare- faced, scandalous swindle, by whom perpetrated and for whose benefit we may possibly learn if the new trial of Warren Leland, now fixed for the 2lst of November, ever comes off, We haye no desire to be hard on the parties who had the misfortune to be mixed up with this very dis- graceful affair; but as it is not the first transaction of the kind which we have had occasion to no tice of late years, and as there is oniy too much ground to fear that there are other Colehester banks in flourishing ex- istence at the present time, scattering broadcast, through large { disbursing establishments likefhotels, bankynotes which are utterly valueless, we hope and trust that the present opportumity of getting at the facts will not be ne- glected. It has been intimated—according to our report- er—that no further trials in connection with this affair will take place in Connecticut. We ean hardly believe that the magistracy of that State will allow so scandalous a transcation to be hushed up; as, however, it is intimated that they, andthe bank receivers as well, can be “ma- naged,’’ we desire to call the attention of members of Congress to the subject. If no further trials take place, and justice is not vindicated, the necessity for a general bankrupt law for corporations will be seen very plainly. ‘The following was the business of the Sub-Treasury to- + S1i1,486 27 2 208,260 5 4,686,615 31 at the Clearing House this morning 7 50, and the balances to $1,260,- Total payments.
