Mrs. Mason, who testitied for the defeuce the aay previous, was again before the Court yesterday morning, and uuderwent a long aud exhaustive examivaliun by botn siues, Her tesiamouy, however, was not perceptibly shaken, For @ woman unaccusvomed to the atinosphere of ® court room and before @.iarge audience ot eager staring men, she told her story with re- Markab.e clearness and steadiness, ‘The usual mor- bid curiosity (o hear stures with a taint of creamy Jasciviousness in them lay at the bottom of the auxiely to catch every word which this witness uttered; bub little gratification, however, was attorded the prurient fauctes of those leering listen- ers in the court rooin who, were aver ready to grin at the use of any expression which could be termed in the least degree ambiguous. KIP VAN WINKLE ON THE STAND, Daniel Suara, @ regular Rip Vaa Winkle tn voice, acceut and manuer, proved himself irre-istiwly funny and humorous. His appearance im the wit- ness chair was evough to draw @ sulle from the storia countenance o! even the Recorder. He leaned Torward toward the counsel and rattied of bis voluminous answers always wih a tendency to overieap the requiremeat of each interrogatory and branca of with an Unintentiouaily comic observailon of his own. ‘The look of indignation he expressed at the roars of Jaughter tha: greeted one of is remarks would have increased the merriment tenfold it 1 nad not been for tae prompt interposition of the Court with an Order to the ushers for the arresi of any one who d sturoed the decorum of the proceedings, Coansel for the defence deemed 1: necessary to show that the boarding nouse of Mrs, Mason, rented to her by the witness, was cleag and weil kept. To this end the question was simpiy asked, “Is your house a well kept, clean dwelling?’? W which came the rapid and overpowering reply: “You pettuer piief it dis. Devs no petther nouse nor ash clean @ house. nor as gumfuri’bie a house in dish city.” Counsei, intecrupung—*vh, we know it must be such @ house as you say.” Witness, without pausing—Veli, you shust goes up right avay and Bees lor yourself, and sees if der be any petther house on Aimtty-mighty stureet.’? This euiogistic outburst over, counsel proceeued to ask if witness ever saw Mrs. Mefariand and Richardson together, to whica came just as unhesitatung and fuila reply as to the o.ner question — “Yaw, sees ’em ail de tolme—ali de toime a talkin’ and, 1 s’pose, a courtin’—all de tolme, ali de tome.’ Counsel—Was McFarland present occasions? Wisness—“Oh, no, you shust peltef he vosnt; Mc- Fanan’ vos away ven Kisnarsen vos goin’ on, as I Shust sole you; and thus the witness rolied off his Kuowled.e oi the case, talking at locomotive speed aud ruuniag & tremeudous muce agaimst accepted Tales of cugish provunciation.

The O'Net!l-Fenian Congress met yesterday, at noon, at Masonic Hall, bub the session was & aiciculy private ous, and no person mot duly ac- credited as a good man and true to the Congress Was allowed adm‘ssion, There was during the entire day in the hallways leading fo the room where the deiiberations were held, and in the streets adjoining the building, qute a large crowd of the sympathizers with the O'Neill faction, and spec- ulation as to tie doings of the Congress was rife among them. It is said that there was a plentiful sprinkling of Brush spies in every group of men Who had assembiel about the piace, who ex erie! their utmost in an indirec. wav to buy up some needy mentver of the Congress, from wom they might be able to obtain such information as might lead to the thwarting of the designs of 0’ Neil!, 18 much can be said abou? the doimgs of the Congress, and it comes immediately from one of tue memoers, who, in not telling what the result of the discussions of yesterday atiernoon was, does not fee! that he 1s violating bis oath in stating what the discussions Were about, Tie most important subject discussed, he says, Was the pro- prety of making A HAD INTO CANADA AT ONCE, There were those of the Congress who contended that this would be altogether ioothardy, Inaswmucn as bane exchequer Was OL que What ib oUziLY to Ue, aad that without the sinews of war the rau would be an extremely disastrous oue to the -enlans, Genera O'Neill, however, or, rathes, bis friends who Tepresent his views, argued Lhat as soon as Le wreat body of the Brotherhood had bee me aware tat Canada was to be Lue objective point ora Ay to vasion money would be forthcoming frou all quar. ters.

WOMAN'S BRIGHTS IN JE<SEY. The Rose Will Case in Newark—An Import- ant Law Poiat [uvolved, In the Orphans’ Court, of Essex county, N. J., yesterday, in the matter of the will of the late Mrs. Mrria KB. Rose, application was made by Mr. Oscar Keen, counsel for tne ex- ecutrix named in the instrument, favoring the appotmtment of an admivistrator pendente Lite, so that tae property of the aeceased, chiefy consisting of dry aud faucy goods, mignt be disposed of 30 as to avold waste or destruction. It appears, according to the views of one side of the case, that some months ago a formal separation was agreed wo between Mrs. Rose and her tusvand, Mr. Nelson Rose, Jr. In consideration of a —certain sumto wit $2,500—they say, he renounced all right, titie and in- terest. in ber estate. Some two weeks prior to her death Mra. Rose executed =a will, in which sue named as her executrix ove Mary Bartscha. whom she concetyed to be her trusty and confidential shopwoman. Now, subsequent to the demise of Mrs." Rose in steps her husband, who fies a caveat againat admitting the wiil to pro- vate. According to counsel for the execn- wix the object of filing tuis caveat is to ascertain the constitutionality of the act of April 12, 1864, which, while tt allows @ mar- ried woman to make a will, prevents ner from dis- posing by tt of any interest which by law her bus- band might have in her property prior to the passage of the act. On the other hand Mr, Rose, through his counsel, avers that no legal contract of separation Was ever entered into between him and the deceased; that tue property, worta between $7,000 and $3,000, waa ac- cumulated on the jointexertions of himself ava Wile, almost the eulire of the capital being supplied by bim. He iurther avers that the $2,500 which he received was the vaine of his leave on the store, and fot in licu Of any or ail incerest in Lhe business. It is claimed by Mis counsel that, uuder the law cited, while the decea-ed had a rigat, 16 ber property had been rea) estate, to bequeath It co whom she hiked, subsequent to her death, tue husband would have the full mght to its benefits during ife. AS im the present case, however, where tue pro- perty waa personal, @ woman could not, by — will, deprive her husband = of the same in part or whoje. ‘ihe will of Mrs, Rose leaves the bulk of the property to her parents, the residue going to St. Michae’s Hospital. ‘his 18 said to be the first case that has been broug%t before the courts jhvolving Ue principles of the taw of 1864, and te issue is Luerefore bighiy important, As regirds the granting of the request made in the maiter of the appointment of an administrator the Court reserved its decision ul) to-day.
