On Wednesday last, the 1st instant, two companies of ‘the Nivth Connecticut Volunteers, under the command of Captain Henuessy, embarked on transports for up the Fiver, on a foraging expedition after cattle, information having been received of immense herds from Texas hay- fog been scen a little above Donaldsonville. On ar. viving at the point indicated, however, it was found that the cattle had been already “lifted” by the crews of the gunboats Sciotu, Kineo and Itasca. It seems that the officer in command of the seamen fel! in with a large drove at Kernes’ place, a little Below Waterloo landing, and that on asking where the cattle were being driven to he was answered to New Or- Yeans. Suspecting, however, that the destination of the ‘animals was nearer to Camp Moore—where the rebels are 4m force—than to this city, the naval officer determined on taking them in charge hiraself and bringing them down here. The transaction was a very simple one; the officer had both the will and the power, and the right, too, to take, and he did. The transfer was soon made, and the ive taken on board six transports with all expedition. While this operation was in progress the military @rrived, and materially aided in getting the cattle on board. The troops Janded on the morning of the 3d, and that night the cattle, under the, influ- ence of a bright moonlight, were on board, 1,245 dm number. Qne thousand six hundred bad been cap* ‘area, and there were not a suflicient number of veseels to Dring them ali off at once, in consequence of which several hundred bad to be left behind, with the intention of returning for them. @p Saturday morning, the 4th instant, the trans- Ports, couvoyed by the three gunboats, moved down the river. On reaching a spot about three miles below Bonaldsonville a rebel battery, placed behind the levee, epened fire on the gunboats and transports. Embrasures had been cut through the ievee to admit the guns, which were six in number—namely, four brass six-pounders &nd two twenty-pounder rifles. The Sciota, which had the lead, was struck several times, and I regret to say ‘hat First Lieutenant Swacey, a quiet and unassuming Young man and excellent oflicer, was killed, as was & seaman named Jobn Hure. Some of tho trav were completely riddied by the enemy’s shot. The Saint Maurice bad three killed at once, and two hours after the firing ceased the carpenter and a deck hand were found dead below. At the same time two fect of water was discovered im the hold of the Saint Maurice. ‘The pilot of the Cyrus Bell was shot dead at the wheel. ‘The General Williams had tea men_ scalded to death by te cutting in two of a supply pipe. The Iberville had one of her engines disabled by the enemy's shots. The very first shot from the euemy—a twenty-pounder rifle “assed throngh and through the Sciota. ~ Fince8< that the work was warm, Captain Lowry turned the Sciota af 8RG, and in this way he met the Kineo and the hich he returned to where the eee rien veg hetcht of the levee at chat plac Dattery could not be engages With advantage at sli Fauge.

On Friday night last a most atrocious and cold-blooded ‘Murder was committed, uuder singular circumstances of ingratitude, in Ursulive strect, in this city. The mur- dered man was named Manuel!

The fvilowing account of the marder, from the Picayune, seems to embody the Principal facts in small compass: — ‘The murderer had been received by Andreu in a spirit of generosity; he had received the shelter of his root and ‘the bospitality of his board; but iustead of becoming a gratetul friend be proved himself an assassin and erim- Soved his hands with the blood of bis benetactor.

It is thought that from fifty to seventy rebels less dangerously wounded were carried away with them.

COURT OF OYER AND TERMINER. Before Hon. Judge Barnard. ‘SEVENTH Day. Gor. 16.—I he Pouple vs. Mary Real.—Thie important trial continued to the Iast to attract a large, respectable and interesting audience, among whom were, as on the previous days, a great number of Indies. At the sitting of the Court this morning Distriet Attorney Hall resumed hie address on the part of the prosecation. He submitted that very many of the statements made in the opening of the junior counsel for the defence were not substantiated by the faets @f the case. He would show that instead of being the pursuer, this poor deceased was the pursued; and he believed that many of the expressions put into the mouth of Real were, in fact? used by the accused. He instanced the case of Colonel Graham, who kilied Colonel Loring at the St. Nicholas Hotel. In tbat case Mrs. Grabam told her counsel pre’ cisoly the seme story that Mrs. Loring subsequently told on the witness stand, only changing the expressions used by her deceased huaband, and putting thom in the mouth of the prisoner, Mr, Hall then followed the open- ing of Mr. Duppby seriatim. On the evening of the 4th of July the counsel far the prisoner says Mr. Real accompanied her to Palace Garden, and remained thero ‘about anhour. He saw her back to her lodgings, and there exacted @ promise of marriage from her ina wild and frenzied manner. Now what moro likely than that she desired to exact the promise from him? They were alone in the house, and it was ho probably that was frightened by the paroxysm of a woman who had followed him for six years, What more likel: than that it was she who took the Decalogue in hand, an there swore—T will pursne you, and you sha} hover marry any one but mo?” Thus the prophecy she alluded to in the letter she wrote to him just bofore the homicide: “My God! is my prophecy to be fulftiled?” and the next day she avenges herself with her red right hand, Mr. Hall referred to the caso of Hays, charg. ed with bigamy by a revengeful and cited woman, and said the circumstances of that case are precisely similar to this, and the following is the language of Mr. Brady oa that case:—It is very proper for a virtuous court to clenounce viee; but the judiciary should not close their eyes to the well known fast that men are continually endangered and often ruined by the false accusations of pro- fligate or revengeful women. The protection of men in such cases js a duty often neglected. And we submit that it is exceedingly dangerous to place every citizen at tho mercy of a truli or a perjurer, who may convict him of bigainy and send him to thd State prison by falsely in- vesting with the forms of marrage to which she ¢on- sented and may have craftily invited. Seciety is more interested in preserving the sanctity of marriage than in hing the reducer? Mr. then referred to the sacranent of marriage in the Roman Catholic Chuich, and wished it was a sacrament in all other churches. A Catholic woman, however degraded, will not alow a mun WwW raise & desecr: Tand against the sacrament of ber Chureh. They all remember the beautiful drama of the “Collcen Bawn,” whore that hercine js allured to the dark well by Danny Mann, who demands of her © marriage certificate which abe carried in her bosom. “No,” she says, ‘1 have sworn to the priest not to part with it, and I will not?’ and there, with the emblem of ber religion over her head in the heavens, and the dark water beneath, she, rather than givo up her marriage cor- tificate, was cast into the abyss. Mr. Hall then pointed out certain’ portious of Mr. Dunphy’s opening to substantiate which, he asserted, no witnesses were called, and the jury should, therefore, not be led away by the specch of ‘the counsel, but decide this case according to the evidence before them. He referred to the visitol the accused to her mother in the old country, and her return to America in six months, and asked what could have brought her buck except for tho purpose of renewing her pursuit of this mav. Mr, Hall avalyzed what he characterized the very ingenious and able portraiture of the deceased given by the counsel, and said that if ever he required the charac- ter of a villain te be drawn he would engage the services of his learncd friend; but it was not true—he had not been proved to be the libertine the counsel painted. ‘Then they charge bim with changing his name from Patrick to Poter. Judgo Daly has decided that a man has a perfect right to change his name. I do not know what reason Real had to take the name of a saint of his Church, us well as of mine, unless he preferred to indulge in the imaginary hope of carrying the keys of Heaven rather than bear the name of the saint who banished the snakes and toads from Ireland. On the subject of the marriage, Mr. Hall said it made po differenco whether they were mar- ried or not: they did not live her; and if Lady Lytion Bulwer, whoee husband treated her ‘very badly, and the hundreds of thousands of women who are teen pol from their husbands, were to tuke pistol in hand an t their husbands, there would be mo eud to homicidal mania. He re-read the letters of the accused to the de- ceaged, which exhibited love and hate, and were, he con- sidered, the best possible evidence for the ution as to the existence of motive on the part of the accused for this act. It was the motive of a jealous woman— Jealousy , that dotes but dooms, ‘That murders and adores. a The Court took a recess for half an hour. On reassem- i ‘Mr’ Hall resumed his address and cited several. medical authorities to support bis theory of the non-insanity of the accused. One medico-legal authority says that moral insanity is but a synonym for moral depravity, He also cited from Sugden’s prize eseay on criminal insanity, elucidating the test of accountability to human laws. Pro- fessor Gillman says that homicidary monomania must be admitted under the severest test. He referred to Dean’s and Taylor’s works on medical jurisprudence. Iq reading Dr. Winslow’s report of the case of Mrs. Brough, who murdered her six children, Mr. Hall read ‘it as the fiend- ish act of a Hottentot” or a “New England,” instead of a New Zealand savage, which caused general but subdued laughter—it being rather inappheable to the Puritans of our neighboring State. He said he was not very far wrong; for it waa only the other day an abolition woman expressed the desire to Lave the skull of a rebel to drink out of. He read from a letter published in Addison's Spectator, written by a jealous woman:—“Could you but conceive how cruel lam one moment in my reseutment, and atthe ensuing minute, whea I place him in the con- dition my anger would bring him to, how compassionate!” ‘That is just this case. When she placed him in the con: tion her anger brought him to, ehe says:—Peter, will you not speak to me?’? in the manner and the language of one who ‘dotes but dooms, who murders and adores.” On the question of the defence of ineanity, the District At- torney remarked that the acts of purchasing a pistol, asking for a small one, remembering the names of all the pisces she was directed to, going back to the same store, er saying she had but a good five dollars and two dollars bad money—all this, he contended, showed no symp- toms of an insane mind. He would to God that the evi- dence could warrant the conclusion thgt this woman was insane at the time of the homicide, and he and the jury would have been spared the perforniancd of sheir very parnful duty. Mr. Hall concluded a very able, eloquent and argu- Mmertative eee occupied from ten o’clock A. M. ° » M. a THE JUDGR’S CHARGE. Tho jury having exprossed a desire to have the case ‘submitted to them this evening, the Juage proceoded to deliver bis charge. He said:— GxuNTLEMEN OF THE JURY—On the afternoon of Friday, the 18th of June, of the present year, Peter C. Real came to his death by violence—namely, by being shot with ® fom The Grand Jury, by an instrument under ds, have charged it on afemale, who gave her name as An indictment is a written accusation of one Or more persons of a crime u a charge presented and preferred to a grand jury. y have charged that it was done with a felonious design; that is, that site in- tended to effect his death; and that act, when put in exe- cution, was murder, The accused, by her of not guilty, has throwa upon the prosecution the onus of sub- Stantiating by legal evidence the truth of the allegations contained in the indictment. The prosecution, then, gen- tlemen, must satisfy you 1. Of the death of Peter C, Real. 2. That he came to his death by violence at the hands of Mary C. Real. 8. That it was done through a premeditated design to effect bis death, or, in other words, that she intended to murder him, Unless the prosecution bas adduced bofore you satisfactory evidence of the truth of these proposi- tions, you must acquit the accused. Our statute defines @ murder to be the killing of a human being by ‘& premeditated design, without the au- thority of law, by poison, shooting, stabbing or any bcoatinwmpeaedenion § manner, and which is not man- slaughter or excusable or justifiabie homicide. It is com- mitted in one of these ways. first one only has any reference to this case; that is, when it is perpetrated from @ premeditated design to effect the death of the person killed, or of any human being. the truth or sity of that charge you empannelled. The defence has admitted that Real ts dead, and that be died from the effects of a pistol shot wound, fired from a pistol in the hands of the accused. They deny :— 1, That it was done with premeditation. 2. That, go f it was done by premeditation, still the accused should not be heid responsible for her act ‘Docause the condition of her mjad was such on that dat Mary Real. as to render ber incapable of distinguishing right from wrong, and she was not @ rational being; in other words, Insane. ‘There are two kinds of insanity—a permanent, total and Visible one, discoverable b; , looks, manner an conversation, and an iinpulst person wholly irresponsible for every act—termed lunacy —and the other insane on particular , and not always visible, unless occasions offer, like pynoma. nia, cliptomania, &c, That bas been termed by recent writers impulsive insanity. A remarkable instance of the latter bas recently come under my observa- tion in the case of a celebrated London physician, whose wife, although surrounded by every iuxary that wealth could produce, could not resist the tation of stealing every article that was of a portablo pal ose of its use or value.

Moral insanity is de! to bea distinct and well known malady which arbitrarily impels ite victim to imvoluntary crimes, which he detests but cannot avoid. It was said in the case of the People vs. Freeman that tho true test was, did he know right from wrong, or did he know that the act was contrary to law? To sim the matter, you can ask yourself the question whether the’ accused knew the “ act,” “how to do it,’ ‘ and the consequences of it.” It is @ aoe Jaw, who is sane is presumed to = ips sage the necessary consequences of his own illegal act. If, therefore, it is made to appear to your satisfaction, by legal evidence, that. the accused did it with design, then the presumption would be that she intended to murder him, and the burthen of proof is removed from the prose- cution to the defence. You have aright: to find one of three verdicts under the evidence presented before you— viz, murder; manslaughter in the third degree, which is the killing of a human being in tho heat of passion, with- out designing to e'fect death, by a dangerous weapon; and manslanghter in the fourth degree, the killing of a human Deing dy oulpable negligence. I deem it proper to state to you that the prosecution have to establish the truth of cither of these propositions, and they also must establish to you the fuct that this pistol was fired by her with the intention to kill this man, If you have any doubt that she did this witb the intention to kill him. that doubt is her property; and if you have any reasonable doubt in re- gard to her sanity, that doubt is her property. A donbt Most not be a mere possibility, an abstraction, or a far. ched presumption ; but it innst be a reasonable and natural result arising from all the evi. .ce that you have heard. It must be such a doubt as would justify you in saying upon your ouths that the case is so equaiiy bal- anced on the part of the prosecution and of the defence that in justice to the oath yon have taken you can decide either way: and in stich case it is your daty to render a verdict of not guilty; or, in other words, if the evidenco is ef that character, you will convict; if not, you will acquit. The testimony offered by the defence ‘on the subjectof marriage and intimacy has ne bearing upon. the main questions of the prosecution. 1. Did she kill? : 2. With what intent did she kill? ‘The testimony offered by tho defence on the subject of marriage and intimacy can only relate to the subject of insanity, and if the jury entertain no reasonable or ra- tional doubt of her mental capacity to discriminate be- twoen the right or wrong of the act of killing, then tho | jury must dismiss from their minds as irrelevant all the testimony so offered on the subject of marriage and inti- macy. The sole legal test of insanity as a defence in criminal trials, or ag applicable to raise a reasonable and rauional doubt of the sanity of an accused, is, Whether or no the party accused was laboring under stich a defect of reason from disease of the mind as not to know the nature or quality of the act he was doing, or, if he did know it,that he did not know he was doing what was wrong.” It will be the province of the jury to convict of murder in the first degree. First—It the jury are of opinion, beyond a reasonable and rational donbi—such a doubt as a man acts upon in adjudging his own affairs—that each of the following mat- ters are proved by the evidence:— 1. That at the time the deveased received his mortal wound he received it from the pistol in the hands of the accused, 2. That at such time,the prisoner entertained a design to take the life of the deceased (although such design was formed at the instant of the fatal shot), and discharged the Pistol with that design. 8. That at such time the accused was mentally capable of discriminating between the right and wrong of ihe act of shooting, ag well as of the design aforesaid. That it will be th wince of the jury to convict of manslaughter in th® third degree if the jury believe from the evidence that accused. in the heat of passion, and withcut a design to effect death, killed the deccased Dy means of the loaded pistol. That it will be the pro- vince of the jury to convict of manslaughter in the fourth degree if the jury believe accused provided herselt with the pistol for the purpose of using it to either frighten or menace deceased (such being an unlawful purpose), and ‘that, using the pistol with such purpose, a struggle for its possession eusued between accused and deceased, in which struggle the pistol in quence therenf, discharged towards and killed deceased. Courts are established for the administration of juatico. It is for this purpose that you are brought here to-day. By administering justice you operate in a twofold cha- racter—firet,on the community; second, on the accused. if the community tind that protection is’ given them by the courts they submit their grievances to them, if they distrust their fidelity or certainty, they take the law in their own hands. A prompt and certain punishment for @ crime is the only security society can have. Let it only de generally understood that no redress can be relied upon in our courts of justice, and from that moment the evil passions will rise in such a manner as to appal the bravest among as. No, gentiemen, jet it never be said that in thi republican land of ours a person is high enough, rich enough or influential enough to defy the offended majesty the law, of $0 poor, friendless amd ob soure as to be turned away unheeded aad neglected. The age, condition or sex of an aceused onght not to have the slightest weight with a jury. Mercy is the mitigation of justice, not the privation of it. A jury should be very guarded against all appeals to their mer- ciful consideration. Your judgment should be governed and controlled by the weight of testimony. The proper execution of our jaws and the safety of society are vastly more important and datory upon us all than the ex- tension of our sympatl As to the medical testimony, hoe did not consider it terial. Indeetl, he never did deem it important; for you seldom find two doctors to except they belong to the school. The act of attempted suicide does not alwa: necessarily prove insanity. The accused has received good character, and the jury would take that into con. sideration. Hp woald not give any opinion on the facts of the case; that was the province of the jury; and he should say that he never heard a case sum- med up in such an able and masterly manner as this has been by the counsel on both sides. Your juagment should be controlled by the evidence, and not by sympathy. The sympathies of the community are always with a female, particularly in a capital case; but the jury have no rigl be swayed by sympathy; but in saying 80 I by no means imply that you should convict this woman. When you retire to your room, you will weigh ‘the evidence that has been submitted to you, and on that evidence alone render your verdict. The jury retired at twenty minutes after four o'clock. Up to baif-past ten o’clock last night the jury bad not agreed upon a verdict. The prisoner bad been kept up to this time in the District Attorney's office, In custody of Sheriff Lynch, Judge having directed that if the Jury did not agree up to this time, that after that hour they must be kept together until the opening of the Court. in the morning. 1t was rumored that the jury stood eleven to one; but whether for or against the prisoner ‘we could not lewrn. ‘At eleven o'clock the jury had not agreed, and was locked up for the night, under the charge of E.

Councilman Syypgr presented a petition, signed by & number of citizens residing in the upper part of the City, petitioning the Board to grant to the Sixth Avenue Raile- road Company the privilege of extending their track along Fifty-ninth street to Eighth avenue, for the purpose: of connecting with the Fighth Avenue Railroad: aud running their cars to Seventy-second street.’ In case the Eighth Avenue Railroad Come. pany refuse to run their cars as far as that avenue is graded, that the Sixth Avenue Railroad Company” continue their track and run cars to and through 110tH —— to Horlem.

A communication was received from the Comptroller: containing his quarterly report of claims audited and pale during the third quarter of the year, commencing July B and ending September 30, 1862. Councilman Lone moved that the report be received. and two thousand copies ordered to be printed. Councilman Hocay moved as an amendment that five: thousand copies be printed. Councilman Orron said he had seen the Comptrolierg who informed him that five hundred copies would be amply sufficient, and he was very much opposed to a. useless expenditure of money in printing a large number- of copies of the report. ‘The motion to print five thousand copies was lost, and. two thousand copies ordered to be printed. The quarterly report of tho Street Commissioner was - received, and one thousand five hundred copies ordered. to be printed. A communication was reeciyed from the Corporation.

Councilman Trorrer said any person giving such & license could bo impeached . Councilman Srevexsox said the communication was: very indefinite, and did not appear to be an answer to the. resolution passed by their Board. Councilman Ortow said, as the resolution was not cone. curred in by the Board of Aldermen, the Corporation, Counsel was not bound to take any notice of it.

He believed they were to constitute a reserve force, and ten dollars bounty would be enough for a ey pe for nine months only to evade the di Councilman Hayes said they were as liable to be called. on for active service as the others, and why should they” hot receive the same bounty? Their families would be left just as destitute in case of death as if they had volun- teored for the war. ‘The: amendment offered by Councilman Orton was car- ried and the resolution then Sdopted. “4 The ordinance adopted in the of Aldermen to ap propriate an additional sum of 000 for the relief of the families of volunteers, was taken up, in conjunc. tion with the small change issue ordinance.
