CORTINAS, Camp ix THE Rancio prt Carmen, Nov. 23, 1859, The Jumpertz Case in Chicago. {From the Chicago Times, Dec. 13 ‘The Superior Court was opened at tem o’clock yesterday morning. Long before that time the balls and corridors of the court house were thronged with a motley and curi- ‘ous crowed of people, all betraying the greatest avxicty to know what the jury would do in the case of Heury Jum- pertz. acre 4 ‘tho crowd, as on every previous day of ‘this protracted and offensive trial, were large numbers of ‘women—young women and old women; plain women and ‘ugly women; well dressed women and women in shabby habilimente; women of all sbades, sizes, characters, colors, habits and tongues—all manifestiag an excited im- terest in the fate of a man who, by his own confession, is @ person whom all right-thinking people must regard with Toatbing and abhorrence. The court room opened. Tn rushed the eager crowd, holter-skelter, crowding, pushing, shoving, tumbling into the benshes. In rushed the petgoated dowdies, smashing, crashing, pulling, hauling, pufll eee with laborious efforts to obtain an eligibie seat where the male object of their curiosity, interest, affection, or whatever it may have been, could be distinctly’ gazed upon. Never jm days of chivalry did knights in tournament at- tract a more cager throng of feminine humanity. Never did lusty bull, caparisoned for the encounter with brutal matadors, receive more ardent from volu; tuous Castilian women, than the man Jampertz from crite who have daily thronged the court houss during A messenger came from Judge Goodrich with informa- tion that ho was ill, wheroupon his associate, Judge Hig- gins, took the bench and opened the court. The prisoner was then brought in. His face was vet pale, denoting the decp intercst in the result whic! was’ to ect him free, or consign him to an ignomi- mious death. Nevertheless, as he entered and beheld the array of female faces turned upon him, his lips wore tho lascivious smile which the spectators havo so frequently Moticed. tte glanced at the jurors, and then fixed his eyes tapon the cleri, to whom tho verdict was handed by tho foreman. The room was hushed to perfect silenve as the @lerk read the verdict:— “Wo, the jury, find the defendant not guilty after the manner and form of the indictment.” ‘Then from the women and tho sympathisers and friends of the prisoner [ segewra roso upa burst of applause, which was quickly suppreseed by tho sheriff. The prisoner leaped upon his feet and desired to make ‘a speech to the Courtand crowd. He proceeded to say :— “I thank the Judge for the attention he has paid the case; Dut the principal thing [have to say is, if hero is any- thing in this case Ican clear up I would like to do it; if ‘there is any doubt I would like to clear it up.” ‘The Court very properly informed him that it was not the place for him to make a specch. He then, after sbaking bands with his couasel, the jurors, and geome others, a few of whom congratulated him upon his nar- row escape of the halter, the court room in com; with bis counsel. Tho crowd followed him ag they would have followed some curious mongter, the females mani- festing tho greatest eagerness to get near him. To cs- cape their ae attentions, he entered the jail, and there took leave of his comrades in imprisonment. But the crowd waited outside, aud when he emerged, again followed him down Washington street to the Portland Block, where he entered the office of Mr. Van Arman, one of his counsel. As filustrative of the strange and unaccountable interest which females have taken in this porgon, ‘we may mention an incident which occurred on tho @dewalk, near our oflice. One of our compositors ‘was standing on the sidewalk whon the crowd came along, rollowing Jumpertz to Mr. Van Arman’s office. One of the females, a woman, apparently between 25 and 30 years old, approached him, and directed his attention to the object of her interest, who was just then entering the building, and asked him {f he would not go up with her to eee office, and give her an introduction to ‘Thus, after « very long, laborious and expensive inyes- tigation; involving ‘two trials.

On these half decks no cargo was stowed. In tho vessel, invoiced and manifested as partof the cargo, waa found about 17,000 feet of lumber, which could have been used to complete this deck; 168 casks, most of them apparently intended for water casks, and averaging over 180 galtons cack, and invoiced at 34,540 allons; 150 buckets, without handics; 200 barrels navy Broad; 48 tierces containing about 29,000 pourds of inte. rior rice; 12 cases containing 240 muskets; about 300 feet in length of hoop fron, not on the manifest or bill of lading, or in the invoice; a large quantity of medicines, consisting of Epsom salta, cantharides, plaster, simple cerate and pow- dered mustard. Also,a half barrel of flaxseed, a cet of firewood and about a ton of coal, two copper bajlers, or stills, holding some sixty gallons cach; a quantity of beef, pork and beans, and about one hundred bottles of disinfecting fluid, or chloride of soda in solution. Besides these, the cargo was made up principally of cheap shirtings and shectings, cheap stripes and drills, cheap prints, cotton handkerchiefs, very cheap carthen ware, including large quantities of bowls and soup plates, 24,000 of rum, over fifty dozen of spear point knives, &c., &c., &c. ‘The vessel sailed from New York direct to the mouth of the Congo river, and soon after the arrival there was boarded by the officers of a British ves- sel of war and detained for a time as suspected of being intended for or engaged in the slave trade; and the mas- ter, as ay 8 by the logbook, there proposed to abandon the vessel as a prize to this British cruiser. was op- pored by the mato and crew, who declared that they ‘Were not conscious of having done anything illegal, and that if it were necessary to give up the ship they would prefer being gtven up to a ship of thoir own . The mato then sought the Marion, and the Orion was searched seized and eeut home for condemnation. The counsel of the claimants contend that tho articles found on board are proper articles of legal trade, and that the proofs are not suilicient to warrant a condemnation, It is true that they might be articles of traffic, but all the circumstances are suspicious. almost entire change of crow on the 20th of Janvary; the character of the cargo, apparently selocted with a view to the traffic for slaves, or to be used as provisions for them; the extraor- dinary quantity of water casks under cover of thoir baing intended for palm oi!, though the vessel was apparently secking a of the country where the trade is not in palm oil; the antecedents of ibe supercargo, sent with the vessel, also was a Portugueec, who, by own account, had had previous exporience, both on the coast of Africa and at Rio Janciro; the sailing of this small vessel under a charter party at $850 per month, with but one third or one-half of a cargo, and other circumstances convince us she was intended and fitied out for the slave trade. The ordoring of the casks by Vining, the owner, though ship- pet as part of the cargo owned by Sfiranda, the charterer, is, perhaps, not a fact of much significance; but tha copper boilers, which wero tinned inside, and were certainly quite ‘Well calculated for use as the coppers of a slave vessel, are quite significant. It is true they were ordered to be made under the name of rum stills and caps, but there docs not. appear to be much or indeed any reason to suppoze they were intended for any such purpose. For that purpose worms will be necessary to be added, and as none were ordered with them, the manntacturor called-Miranda’ tention te that fact, and was told by Miranda that he had the worms for them. No worms were shipped with them, no ,evidence was given that there were any owned by Miranda, and I cannot but thiak that the calling these boilers rum stills, and beving them made in the form of @ French still, and the state- ment to the manufacturer that he bad tho worms far them, ‘was only intended to cover up the real motive in procur: ing them. The exculpatory evidonce is not of much ‘weight, unless credit is given to tho testimony of Canhao, the supercargo, who put in, as agent, the claim of Miranda for the cargo, and whose deposition’ was read upon the hearing. The doposition of the mate, if entirely retiabls, is not of much importance, as Canhao was undoubtedly the person to whom tho real object of the voyage was ‘Dest known, and probably Canhao and the master were the only persons who know that the vessel was inten fed to be employed in the slave trade, if such was the fact. Canhao’s testimony is not, in my judgment, to be relied upon. If he had beon ‘produced, and examined, and cross-examined in court, I might have received a different impression, but I do not think his testimony is sufficient to exonerate the versel and cargo, especially as Vining and Miranda, each of whom was @ competent witness in re- spect to the property claimed by the other, has not been produced or offered as witnesses, and Miranda did not demur to tho answer put in in his bebalf by Cantao. Tam of opinion, therefore, that there must be a decree of condemnation, with coats. Common Pleas—General Term. Before Hon. Judges Daly (P. J.), Brady and Hilton.

In this view of the charge we consider tha) the evidence (the admission of which was excepted to) did not injure the defendant, even if it was not strictly admissible, as- we think it was.

Authority to sell, therefore, was autho- rity to xcept.

Booth, dc.—The bond and mortgage executed by Miss Price, now Mrs. Booth, ‘were without sufficient consideration, and their execution was the result of undue influence, and of mistake or misconception, if not of misrepresontation, render- ing it inequitable te allow them to be enforced.

The judgment against the plaintiff must, therefore, be afllrmed qith costs. In case of proceedings agalpstthe head of the law department itself, the statute provides that they shall bo conducted by the District Attorney of the county, under the direction of the Governor of the State. Sarah M. Grifiths vs. Edward M. Walton.—The evi- dence was sufficient to warrant the inference that the plaintiff (before the divorce) was allowed by her husband to receive aad keep for her own separate use, the pro- ceeds of ber own earnings, and that the due bill in ques- |} tion, taken in her own name, was part of those proceeds. She was therefore the equitable, and upon the divorce being obtained by her, became the legal owner of the de- mand, Judgment for plaintiff affirmed with costs. James Wilson vs. Regs W.

Authority to sell was, there- fore, authority to But as the shipper had the legal right to require that the veseal should go forward to Cork with a single bushel of the d corn, the cap- tain, if he roleaged that right, was bound, as be acted for both parties, to exact and allow an equitable equivalent; in other words, a pro rata portion of thestipulated freight. Judgment for plaintiff for the whole freight, and new trial ordered, unless plaintiff consents to a pro rafa redaction ‘to be settled by the referce. (Sutherland J. dissenting. ) Uriah M, Lee, dc. . vs. George Selleck.—A judgment ia favor of a defendant boos not per ee discharge tho attach- ment, and an appeal regularly taken in due season sus- pends the operation of the judgment, and is an answer to a motion to discharge mado before the appeal has been digposed of. Order made at Special Term denying de- fendant’s motion affirmed, without costs. (Sutherland J. dissenting. ) The People, dc. vs, the Rector, dic., of Trinily Church.— ‘The rule that the title to real estate is presumed to be in the people appiies only to cases of escheat and of vacant posecssion, Where an actual adverse occupancy is shown on the trial, the State, like an individual, must prove its title, and. cannot claim the benoit of any ‘Presumption in its favor overriding that in favor of the defendants. A corporation, like Trinity Church, is a ‘person’? within the Meahing of tho statute of limitation; and as the plaiutif's evidence in the first case showed no title, and in the se- cond showed no adverse possession in the church of more than forty years, neither action can be maintained.

The Simsbury Catastrophe. {From the New Haven Journal, Deo. 22] ‘The funeral of the eight persons who lost their lives by the late calamity at Suwosbury will be attended to-day, from the Congregational church at that place, and their remains will ail be interred in one grave. The bodies were 80 shoo! ‘ly burned that but one of tho number could be ized—some having their arms and limbs eutirely burned off, and others go disfigured as to present a moet forbiading sight. The town presents a desolate appearance, and the countenances of its inhabitants bear the index of the gloom which pervades the entire comma- nity. It is one of the most deplorable accidents which has ever occurred in the vicinity, and one which will never be orgotten. ze who were it when the fire first broke out state that the whole building was enveloped in flames almost simultaneously, not giving those at work in the lower toum time to escape. There was really no ex- plosiony but a puff like the exhaust of an engine when the steam is first a] to the machinery. All who worked in the second story, and Mrs. Lawpson, who was one of the three women at work below, were killed. Mr. Lampeon, who works in the factory, was near the building, and immediately rvshed to one of the windows, through which he dragged two sisters, namod Bal : one of whom was seriously and the other slightly burned. Mr. Lampgon reacbed through tho window again, and called for his wife as long as he could breatho in the sul- os and smoky atmosphere, but received no answer. remains of the Wend could be recognized only by the place they occupied or by the fragmen's of clothing re- maining wpon the bodies. They were all burned to a crisp, and in some cases the boues are ali that remain those’ who euffered the horrible death. ‘Tae explosion oc: curred in the upper room, where all the powder was used, All who worked here were killed, and the canso of the calamity will nevor be known, Mr. Toy and Mr. Edwia P, Griswold, who were at work below, received their first intimation of the ac de from hands above, burning their feces, necks verely. Mr. Griswold, beng near the door, stepped out immediately. Mr. Toy held his breath, and, shutting his eyes, started for the duor. He failed to reach it, but found a window, aud, bis bands being burn- ed 90 as to be entirely useless, he broke it through wih his bead, after two trials, and jumped out into the flume. He is dangerously, if not fatally injured. Io breaking through tho window he received several severe cuts. ‘His face and neck are badly burned, and the ilesh is burned from his hands, The cottou factory tor the manufacture of cord for the fuse stood acroes @ small stream from the burned build- ing, and was connected with it by a small bridge, which ran from the second story of one to that of the other. Upon hearing the explosion, the foreman of the cotton fac- tory, Mr. Chase, ran across this bridge and tound Harriet Head ying by the door, with th» bleod flowing from her mouth, He drew her out, but she died instantly ‘The remains were taken to the Towa House, aod a jury of inquest called. The body of Misa Head, which was taken fro u the door upon bridge, was the only ome which could be recognized, A CuunicaLVitaty.—Rev. Dr. Wm. M.
