In the Supreme Court, General Term, Judges Ingraham and Brady on the bench, a decision was gendered yesterday in the case of David Murphy, convicted some thirteen months ago of the murder wf David Barry and sentenced to be hanged. The i Wourt refuses to interfere with the verdict of the fower Court, but both Judges declare the circum- Btances of the case to be such as strongly to rec- ommend the interposition of Executive clemency Am Maurphy’s venailf. Patrick Powers, boatswatn of the steamer On- Mario, was yesterday committed by Commissioner hields, in default of $1,000 bail,on acharge of javing badly crushed the hand and arm of Frank liver, a saflor, by a blow of a crowbar, while the Wessel was off St. Thomas, on the 14th inst.

A copy of the writ has been served on Marshal Fisk. WHE BANK OF ENGLAND FORGERY. Whe Case of George McDonnell—Commis- | stoner Gutman’s Decision—The Pris- oner to Be Extradited. United States Commissioner Joseph Gutman yes- *erday rendered the subjoined decision in the case pt George McDonnell, the alleged forger on the Wank of England, for whose extradition the Brit- ish government has made a demand upon the (Dnited States. It will be seen that the decision is Baverse to the prisoner:— THE DECISION, In stating the conclusion to which Iam led bythe evi- Wence in the investigation, it is unnecessary for me to Miscuss again the competency of the testimony. It was waretully weighed by me, and my views thereon given, gs it was arranged piece by piece counsel col ucting the prosecution, and contested fragment fragment by the counsel for the accused with all the in- exhaustible fertility ot legal resource for which he is istinguished. Ona thorough re-examiuation of all the jegal Doints raised in that behalf, I find no reason to fhange my views as heretofore expressed, and I think aut a wider scope of objection has been allowed by me the defence in this case than has probably been here- Bofore permitted in kindred cases. There were, however, advanced by the learned coun pel for the accused, on the close of the testimoay, three Jegal propositions upon which his discharge is claimed, nd it is proper that these should be disposed of by mé efore addressing myself to the question of alleged crimi- Mality as upon the evidence. The sirst of these is that there 1s a want of Jurisdiction ‘ever the person owing to what is termed the illegality of Mhe arrest. This subject was thoroughly discussed and Bris upon by me on a motion made at an earlier stage f the proceedings. Isee ne ground now for receding om the rule then aaserted by me, The next claim made was that all the duties required ‘of the government had been performed under a former mandate issued on the 13th of Murch, and all the powers @xhaasted thereunder, aud that there no right in fhe government to issue the record mandate while the ccused was in custody under the preyious mandate ‘charging the same offetice, ‘The reply to this is:—First, the accused is not held b wirtue ot the mandate, but under the warrant; second, she issuance of the mandate is the periormance of a po: litical act by the Executive, which the Commissioner 48 NO authority to review, question or impeach; and, ird, the second mandate Was not issued for the same rge ‘or offence, but upon other and distinct charges; in, there’ ean be no couceivabie reason tor as Buming a Testriction upon the Executive's issuing as Many mandates as may be deemed expedient. The third legal proposition stated by the learned coun- 1 is that the depositions offered in evidence are not mpetent for any purpose herein, because upon their ay they purport to emanate from @ magistrate of lim- iy and special jurisdiction, and there is no proof before ¢ Commiasioner of his jurisdiction. It ix suffictent to y in this regard that by the provisions of the uct ot Au- ist 22, 1860, it i declared that ali such documents as ose introduced shall be admitted and received in evi- nee if properly and legally authenticated, so to entitle them to be received for similar urposes by the tribunals of the foreign ¢ from ‘which the accused party scaped ; certificate of ‘the | pri 1 iplomatic or consular officer of the United States resi- lentin such foreign countries is to determine whether uch documents are 80 & eretore, is, Ar the paj c ty o the requirements of the act? and the answer is the @ertificate of the United States Minister resident at Lon- Bi Which states that they are and each of them is roperly and legally authenticated so as to entitle them nd each of them to be received for similar purposes by Mhe tribunals of the United Kingdom of Great Britain fand Ireland, and so as tw entitle them aad each of them Tecelved by the tribunals of the said kingdom as evidence of the criminality of, &c., (mentioning the par- fies named in the paper). T come now to the question as to whether in my opinion the charges set forth im the warrant and complaint are @ustained by th dence, and im view of the earnestness ‘with which the counsel (or the accused has througiiout | tthe entire proceedings conten that the evidence ad- duced, im order to hold him thereunder, must be such as ‘would ensure a conviction if he were on'trial. I refer to the act of August 13 IMs and brietiy quote trom the opinion of His Honer Judge Biateh itr: not Bec des that the delive: 2, 1848, to the demanding govern ce of criminality as Pie same purport, says must nce f the prisoner e such as to req vietion o} if he ‘were on trial before a petit jury would, It applied to cases Pf extradition, work great injustice, The theory on ‘which treatics tor extradition are made is, that the place ‘Where @ crime was committed ty the Which to try the person charged with dit; and nothing is required to warrant extra- ition except, that | sufficient, evidence, of | the | fact Bi the commission of the crime shall be produced to justify commitment tor trial tor the crime. This is the eatab- Broper place in aving commit- hed rule as to the evidence in extradition cases. Tain Mot tomay what would be the effect of the evidence were Mthe accused on trial, but to ascertain if it is of such a Character as should ensure hix commitment for a trial on the merits, and appl: this rule to this case, after a Very careful and e: stexamination and consideration of the evidence. | arrive at the conclusion that the docu. mentary and other proots introduced before me are Mcieit to estaliish and sv gos set forth In e warrant. The accuse: ited ¢ custody of the United St Jot the Southe istrict of New York, to await on of the proper ‘@uiharitics. TRIAL OF DR. BROWN. i eR Whe Assault on Gas Collector Maurray— Statement of the Affair as Toid by Murray and the Doctor's Version—The Latter’s Narrative Too Attenuated and @ Verdict of Guilty Remdered Against Him. ‘The public have not yet forgotten the particulars of the murderous assault committed on the 1th of Jast month on Sandford E. Murray, Collector of the Wew York Gas Company, by “Dr.” E. M. Brown, at the latter’s so-calied medical dispensary, at 251 William street, The prisoner wsr yesterday Drought up for tridi in the Court of Oyer and Ter- Miner before Judge Davis. In his case the respect Mus 10 age and xray heirs, was Wanting. ‘Thera wi rt and that something altegether too repuisively forbidding in his expression to elicit any feeling of sympathy. His previous record—heving spent a term in State Prison upon a charge of causing the death of a young lady through an abortion—did not help him any, and the facts of the assault on Mr. Murray, as detailed at the time, were of a character leaving no question of @ doubt as to his being guilty of the grave charge preferred against him. On his head were still visible marks of the punish- ment he received at the hands of his intended victim at the time of the assault. Mr. Murray was also present in court, and the only surprise was, considering the extent and nature ot his injuries, that his liie had ever been spared to tell the tale. He is by no mea however, entirely recovered et, and still has to have his wounds bandagea. here were two counts against the Doctor—one of felontous assault with intent to rob, and the other of felonious assault with intent to kill. Mr. Russell, Assistant District Attorney, briefly opened the case to the jury, and then called on Mr. jurray a8 the first witness, The latter testified that on the 15th of last April he called at Dr. Brown’s office, 251 William street, to collect a ro bill, and as he had sat down to make change of a $20 bill the Doctor made an assault on him with a hatchet and struck him twice on the head. Jump- to his feet he seized the hatchet from his as- in, pallant, and, after a short struggle, everpowered him and knocked him over onthe floor. He had over five hundred dollars with hii the time, Mr. Muldey, the landlord of the hease in which the affair occurred, testified that he met Murray as he came in, and went up stairs to get money te pay his own bill; upon his coming down he found the room of Dr. Brown locked and heard a row inside, which ended in the deor being broken open, disclosing the Doctor on the floor and the com- plainant standing over him; the latter said that the Doctor had tried to murder him, . Oficer Harris, of the Fourth precinct, testified to @rresting the prisoner and taking’him to the sta- tion house; both parties were subsequently con- veyed to the hospital and their wounds dressed; he identified a hatchet and another instrument o: assault—a short handle, with a two-edged knife blade fastened to the end of it—as having been in the doctor’s room after the assault, Dr.John A. Brady testified that he attended upon Mr. Murray at his vrother-in-law’s heuse; he de- scribed the wounds on his head; one of them on the back of the head was two and three-quarters of aninch in depth and was a very dangerous wound. ‘The above closed the testimony for the prosecu- tion, Alter which Mr. George O. Mott, counsel for the prisoner, ned the case on his side and then called as the only witness fur the defence the pris- oner himself, He testified that he was born Uctober 2, 1802, and had been a practising physi- cian in this city for about twenty years; he treated all sorts of disease at bis dispensary. About three o’clock in the afternoon of the 15th of last April a man whom he had never seen before called at his office for medical advice; he was busy compound- ing medicines and had not time to attend to him just then; in a few moments there was a rap at the door and this stranger said, ‘Doctor, don’t want anybody to see me; can rou put me in a private room?’ he told him to get behind a tall desk and then opened the door, when Mr. Murray came in; shook hands with Mr. Murray, they always having been on friendly terms, and said, “I suppose you have come alter your gas bill;’’ Mr. Murray said he had, and there- upon he went into a back room to get some money and as he re-entered the room he saw the stranger strike Murray twice on the head with ear that looked like a tomahawk; he at once snatche: a hatchet from a kindling-wood box and knocked the weapon out of the man’s hand; the latter at once made his escape from the room; Mr, Murray turned on him and struck him on the head, telling him to the floer; kept telling him that it was not he who had assaulted him, but another man, This story, he said, was the truth, as God was his judge. On his cross-examination he did not deviate from this story, He asserted his innocence of the Qual upon which he had spent @ term in State rison. ‘The opposing counsel briefly summed up, when the Judge charged the jury. After a few moments’ consultation the foreman announced that they stood eleven for conviction of felonious assault with intent to rob, and one for conviction of felonious assault with intent to kill. The Judge said they must agree upon a verdict, although the penalty was the same in each case, and thereupon they retired, and, after an absence of forty utes, returned with a verdict of guilty. Mr. Mott suggested that this verdict was not sufficiently specific, Judge Davis said that it was not necessary to be more specific, as it was general and covered both counts, The prisoner was remanded tili Monday for sentence. He took the matter evidently very coolly, and manilested no feeling as to the result. CASE OF DAVID MURPHY. Decision Upon the Appeal from the Ver- dict of Murder in the First Degree— Affirmation of the Verdict by the Supreme Court, General Term—Recom- mendation of Executive Clemency. It is unnecessary to recite the particulars of the shooting and killing of David Barry by David Mur- phy in April of last year. As is well known, he was tried in the Court of Genera) Sessions before Judge Bedtord, convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to be hanged. The circumstances were of that peculiarly extenuating character that his counsel, Mr. William F. Howe, appealed from the verdict to the Supreme Court, General Term. The appeal was argued several days ago, before Judges Ingraham and Brady, on the case itself, without exceptions, the an circumstances being that Rarry assaulted the prisoner in a drinking saloon and then went out, followed by the prisoner, who shot him. The General Term yesterday rendered a decision in the case, affirming the judgment of the Court below, both Judges delivering opinions. Judge Ingraham states that the Court cannot interfere with the verdict, there being some evidence to support it; but. he most certainly, notwithstanding the affirmation of judgment, takes a most charitable view of the case, as he concludes his Ca as follows :— “While we think there is nothing in the case to jus- tify this Court in reviewing the judgment, we feel bonnd to say that we think the clemency of the Executive may be properly exercised in commut- ing the sentence to such lesser degree as shall be thought proper on a review of the evidence.” Judge Brady also concurs with the presiding Justice in his conciusions of law, but 1s frank to confess that while the testimony shows that a grave assault had been committed on the prisoner, raising doubts as to whether he had time to cool before committing the deed, he thinks that the offence might be more Properly calied manslaughter in the third degree. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. URITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT. Judge Benedict sat in the United States Circnit Court yesterday and proceeded with the disposal of the criminal business. Quashing Indictments. The Judge announced that, with respect to the indictment against Christian Zetta, he would grant the motion to quash iton the ground that three of the sour counts did not charge any offence, and, with respect to the fourth count, there was strong presumption that it did not contain an allegation o1 any crime. The indictment must, therefore, be quashed in its present form, In the case of Uscar F. Wainwright, who had been indicted for presenting a false and forged paper to a United States oficer, Mr. Samuel G. Courtney, prisoner’s counsel, had made a motion to quasii the indictment. The prisoner, it was al- leged, was accused of making a ialse, forged and counterfeit paper, and presenting it to the District Attorney {or the purpose 0! satisiying that oficial that he was good and sufficient bail. The Judge granted the motion to quash. It appeared that ented to the District Attorney was a ut that its contents were not truc. atute, that the words were synonymous, aise’ meant “forged and “alse, forged thereiore, counterfeit," Wainwright is in prison, and it is anderstood that another charge or indictment for alleged per- jury will be preferred against tim. The Atiantic Bank Defalcation—The Case of Taintor. Mr. John E. Burrill, counsel for Taintor, who is indicted for embezzing $400,000, the property off the Atlantic National Bamk, said that he owed it to the Court, as a matter of good faith, to have a day fixed for the trial, As the motion to quash the in- dictment was still under the consideration of the Court, he supposed it would not be possible to go to trial with the case on Monday. Mr. Bliss, United states District Attorney, hav- ing made some remarks in reply, stated that he would give Mr. Burrill a bill of particulars in half an hour, and thatif he did not deem the particu. lars fall enough he might ask, by affidavit, for tulier details, on the understanding that before making any request of that kind he should send copies of the affidavits to the District Attorney. The matter then dropped. Sending Obscene Literature Through the Mails—Conviction, James Sullivan was put upon bis trial for sending obscene literature through the mails. He was con- victed and sentenced to one year’s fmprisonment and a fine of $500. The Argament Calendar. Jndge Smatiey will call the argument calendar in* this Court on Tuesday next.

HOW 4 WIFB’S LIFE WAS SAVED. James Byrnes was tried on a charge of felonious assault with intent to kill Louis Rockwell. The evidence showed that on the 11th of last May the risoner was in his own house with bis wife and kwell, The latter owed Mrs, Byrnes some money, and was cautioned not to pay the money to her hushand, as she had had an altercation with him, This enraged Byrnes, and, drawing a pistol, he fired at his wife, but, in his frenzy, he failed of his mark, and the ball unfertunately hit Rockwell. The defence was that he was showing the pistol and it went off accidentally. Mr. Nolan, the counsel for the prisoner, endeavored to infuse a good deal of merriment into the case through his peculiar manner of conducting it; but the jury, as te result proved, took a sober view of the matter, Judge Davis five satisfed. As he started to go away 3 = ® s A B S s e 4 under the escort of an officer he turned to the Judge and said, “You cutthroat, you brought me to this.” Arraignments and Pleas. Abeut twenty prisoners were arraigned to plead to the various indictments brought in against them by the present Grand Jury. All plead not guilty except Richard Connor, a youth, who plead guilty to larceny from the person in snatching a pocketbook from thé hands of a lady. He was sent to the House ef Refuge, The others were re- manded for trial, SUPREME COURT—GENERAL TERM. Decisions. By Judges Ingraham and Brady.

The action is brought by the husband for loss of services and the cost of medical attendants, &c., damages being laid at $1,000, the jurisdiction of the Court. ‘The physicians called testified that it was doubtful if the lady would ever entirely recover, Evidence was given to show the unsaie condition of the doors before the time of the action. Defendant’s counsel sought to show a contract with one of the tenants to keep the doors in repair, which was dis- allowed, Deiendant testified that he had the doors repaired from time to time, as he heard of their heeding It, and also to there Sean a bar made for the door, which was found tinmediately after the accident-in the back of the cellar, and Which was leit out on this occasion through neglect of some of the tenants using the cellar. It was also showed that with this bar in the doors were comparatively safe, Defendant’s counsel claimed that these doors, being within the space allotted for areas, could not be looked upon as the highway, and therefore de- fendant was not liable. The Court charged the jury that this being to ail appearance a part of the sidewalk the defendant was bound to keep it ina periectly safe condition, or put guards around it in case of any danger. The jury rendered a verdict in plaintiff's favor for $800. For plaintit, Jacob Gross; for defendant, W. Pomeroy, ‘ COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS, Grand Larceny. Before Judge Sutherlana.

CITY COURT—SPECIAL TERM. McHalpine, the Burglar. Before Judge McCue. Assistant District Attorney Levi Farron ap- peared in Court yesterday to oppose the admission to bail of the desperate burglar, whe was captured after a deadly struggle in the residence of Mr, Dingee, corner of Myrtle and Clinton avenues, Counsellor Ridgeway asked that McHaipine be re- leased on bail pending the examination before Jus- tice Riley. Mr. Farron stated that the prisoner’s real name was McOormack, and that he had already served two terms in State prison, from which institution he was aischarged a few months since. Mr. Farron contended that as a rule Courts roan not admit to bail parties eharged with a felony. Councsellor Ridgeway cited the cases of Dr. Look- up Evans and William M. Tweed, who were ac- cused of felonies, but who were admitted to bail. Judge McCue remarked that the only question in the present case was whether to exercise such a discretion. If it was a fact that McHalpine had al- ready served two terms in the State Prison he {zaage McCue) thought the jail was the only place for him. The prisoner, interrupting the proceedings, said, “I deny the statement, sir. I’m not the kind 01 a man they try to.make me out.” Judge McCue intimated that _if there were any doubt about it he would allow Mr. Farron a reason- able time to prove the truta of his assertions. The case was then adjourned until Monday morn- ing, the prisoner being remanded. [¥esterday’s Decisions.

It was held by the oficers of the regi- ment that McKewen was a regularly enlisted mem- ber, and had failed to pay any dues or fines subse- quent to his enlistment.

The excitement that has so long prevailed in the neighborhood of the City Hall among local politi- ciang was transferred to the Central Police UMece yesterday. From an early hour in the morning crowds of hangers-on and followers gathered in the vicinity of the building. The cause of the unusual interest to many men was the expectation that the new Board would organize at an early hour and proceed at once with the busi- ness of making vacancies and appointments, It had been rumored that the movements o! the Com- missioners were clogged by legal difficulties and as soon as these were cleared away the business of getting into shape would be at once undertaken. These sensational stories only served to Keep the oflice-seekers in subjects of conversation, They had no foundation what- ever in jact, and only reached the ears of the Com- missioners when they had gone the rounds of the cliques. One of the tales was to the effect that Mr. Henry Smith was in some difficulty about the presidency and there was uneasiness in the Board about the matter. Among THE COMMISSIONERS THEMSELVES there was no suspicion of anything of this kind, They made up their minds to elect him their presi- dent, and carried out the intention last evening. it was done not only as @ mark of recognition for his long service but as a demonstration of the opinion of the Board as to his capability to fill the piace. Mr. Smith did not seek the chair, be- cause the duties of the position are very arduous and keep him almost constantly in the city. He seemed pleased, however, with this action of the other commissioners, and the Board entered upon its term of office last evenin; cordial good feeling all round, This augurs well for the future, and will, no doubt, be productive of much good, Commissioner Oliver Charlick was made Treasurer, and the other Commis- sioners were then allotted their places in the bnilding. Commissioner Hugh Gardner will occupy the room just vacated by Mr. Manierre. Commissioner Russell takes the one between it and that formerly occupied by Judge Bosworth, and General Duryee will use the room from which Judge Bosworth so reluctantly retired. THE GREAT QUESTION of the hour, after the announcement that the Prest- dent was chosen, was the Superintendent. Friends an | partisans of each of the applicants for the of- talked Joudly in support of their candidates, and but few seemed to know with any certainty who the coming man would be, It was well un- derstood Mr. Kelso would be dismissed, for he had been requested to resign the day previous, and the man who was to succeed him was the one all eyes were settied on. Inspector Walling had hosts of admirers, and evidently stood weil with the public, but Mayor Havemeyer was on the side of Mr. George W. Matsell, and he was spyotieed to the place. The information of the choice reed rapidly, and Mr. Matsell’s iriends as- sembled in force to congratulate him. Superin- tendent Kelso very ously anf politely con- ducted his successor to the chatr re ‘ofce and con- gratulated him warmly upon his good fortune ana Buc These inal “oatcen were but coldly received by Mr. tsell, and his man- ner im receiving them was anything bnt attractive to a stran; r. The fact that Superin- 0 ayd Superintendant amid the most }- back into his old was at once iphed to the precincts all over the city, and Ix o’clock the new regime was in full sway. epy sergeants and lounging roundsmen had bet ter look out now. New brooius have a reputation all their own and there is very probably @ good dea) of changing to be done the next couple of weeks. AFFAIRS AT THE CITY HALL, The Late “Army of Occupation” Recon- fitring the New Departments—Mr. Church Requests the Withdrawal of His Nomination—The Case of Cornelius Farley Under Investigation. The City Hall was intensely dull yesterday. There ‘Was no meeting of either branch of the Common Council, no nominations made, very few talked about, and, in fact, very few People looking for them, All the interest appeara to be centred in the Commissions just organized or in process of Organization, and the smali-fry politicians have, a8 a body, fitted away to Police Headquarters, Firemen’s Hall, the Board of Health and the Commissioners of Charities and Correction. A few men lingered listlessly in the corridors and lounged about the Mayor’s offices. Some of them wanted to see the Mayor and some didn’t, A few of the Aldermen were about and one or two of the new Commissioners. The most interesting item of news prevailing was the fact that the Mayor received yesterday morning a letter written by Mr. Frederick E, Church to a friend, in which the writer requested his friend to call upon His Honor and request the WITHDRAWAL OF MR. CHURCH'S NAMB as a nominee for Commissioner of the Department of Parks. This action on the part of Mr. Church is unquestionably prompted py the fact that his nom- ination had been discussed in 80 very unseemly @ manner by certain members of the Board of Aldermen on Thursday. Mr. Cnurch is the famous landscape painter, and residos principally at Hudson, Columbia county. The ofice of Park Commissioner is not a salaried position, bat some of the members of the Board of Aldermen made quite a tough onslaught on the nominee, on the ground that he was not a resident of this city, and that interests so especially dear to New Yorkers and the subject oi so much pride to the city should be entrusted to a resident who would be able and willling to devote the neceasary time and atvention to the duties of the office, Had it not been for the strenuous efforts of some of the kindly disposed members of the Board Mr, Charch’s name would probably have been rejected, but THIS NEEDLESS AFFRONT to a worthy gentleman was happily averted. The Mayor was not prepared to state exactly what ac- tion he would take in regard to the letter, but there is no doubt that he will, at the meeting of the Aldermen on Thursday next, ask leave to with- draw the nomination and that his request will be acceded to by the Board. Mr. Wilder, the Mayor's private secretary, day heard statements in reference to the cl sree against Cornelius Farley, candidate for re-appoint- ment as city marshal. Farley’s nomination has been contirmed by the Board of Aldermen, but in consequence of acomplaint made against him on aiidavit the Mayor withheld the issuance of Far- ley’s warrant, ‘THE CHARGE AGAINST HIM % is that in January last, while in the discharge of his duty, after arresting a defendant on civil process, he offered to allow his prisoner to go te any hotel he chose for the night on condition that the prisoner would give him $50 for his indulgence and pay expenses for the two at the hotel selected. Tne party had only $10 about him and offered that, but his tender was spurned With indignation and vie rates were lowered to $23. The individual in custody found a friend who loaned him the desired $13, and Mr. Farley, as is alleged, was paid his demand. On @ subsequent occasion Farley arrested the same gentleman on another process in the same trans- action, and being unable to meet the fees, he was locked’ up and subsequently released ‘on $500 bonds. According to the statement of the com- plainant Farley took possession of the bonds, and moon the order of the Court setting aside the bonds the complainant called on Mr. Farley to obtain them, andasked for the $400, which was directed to be returned. Farley abused him severely, #0 he says, and used the most indecent language tow- ards him, and he had some trouble in obtaining the restoration of his bonds. As it appears, Far- ley had constituted himself the custodian of the bonds instead of paying them into Court, MARSHAL FARLEY’S DEFENCE is made up of “pooh-poohs,"’ denials, shakes of the head and “explanations.” Tne Mayor holds the case under consideration. There is no doubt that Farley’s case is not the only one that ought to be inquired into before the warrants are issued, as the power vested in a city marshal 1s @ very arbi- trary one and is often outrageously exerted. A delegation of city officials from Boston called upon the Mayor yesterday to make some inquiries 1m reference to the operation of the new charter and other affairs pertaining to the municipal goy- ernment. They were, of course, courteously re- ceived, and the Mayor gave them the information sought, after which they proceeded to visit some of the departments. — MARRIAGES AND DEATHS.
