Brief work was made yesterday in the con- Sinued trial of George W. Murray for the alleged kuling of Jonn Connerton, in the Court of Uyer and Terminer, before Judge Barrett. As willbe Becn by the report, no time was lost in sub- mitting the further testimony for the defence, and but a iéw minutes were taken in reaching the Jinale—a verdict of acquittal. The prisoner, as usual, sat by Mr. Charles V. Brooke, his counsel, snd iooking more confident than ever, a look Which, as the result’ showed, was wholly justified, District Attorney Phelps continued to represent the prosecutton. Policeman Bird, of the Ninth precinct, testified that the reputation of Pertain was bad, and that be would not belteve him uader oath in any matter In which he was interested, Caroline Murray, sister of the prisoner, remem- dered the Sanday when her brother was arrestea : she woke him up about ten o’clock in the morning; he went out to his stable and returned to his din- Ber; while eating his brother-in-law called and he ‘Went out with him, not returning till six o’clock in the evening; while away Oficer O'Neil called and said ner brother's boss wanted‘to see him, and when her brotner returned she told him what the officer had said; he said he would go out tora walk nd while he was absent he was airested, Benjamin Twaddle, of No. 637 Washington street, testified that on the night of the homicide ne saw Mrs. Neymeyer shortly after the occurrence, and that sne then said s2veral times that Pertain struck the man with a cart rung. George Washington Murray, the prisoner, then took the stund. He testified that he went into Gibvons’ saloon on the night of the 21st of Novem- ber and had a drink; about nine o'clock two men came in and commenced discussing the ‘longshore- men’s strike; one of them asked his opinion, ana he repited that he thoaght the ‘longsioremea Were in the right; the man said that he thougnt every one ought tohave hance to make @ hving; | the witness said he did not wisn to fue the | matter, alter which, being requested to drink with the men, he did so: after having a few more drinks he left the place, aud went down to West street to JOOK jor a man named Captain Pinkerton ; not find- ing Pinkerton he returned to Gibbons’ saloon, and there found four men still talking about the Nongshoremen’s strike; witness sat down at a table and leaned ais head on his hands, but did pot fail asleep; Billy Pertain ana Martin Joyce shortly alterward came in, and not wishiug to be jn their company he left the saloon, aud again went to look for Pinkerton. The witness then roceeded to detail his movements from tuat time ip to when be went into Larkins’ saloon; he de- pied ever having struck the deceased or having been engaged in any quarrel with him. He gave bis testimony in # frank and straightiorward manner, and satisiactorily explained his move- ments on the day alter the tragedy. When the prisoner had concluded nis testinon counsei on th sides decided to dispense w: sunning up the case and left it tothe Judge’s charge. Juoge Barrett, in his charge, stated that he thought 1t woula be exceedingly dangerous for tne jury to convict the prisoner on the testimony ad- guced by the prosecution during the trial. The Only testimony connecting the prisoner with the murder was that of “billy Pertain,” and it had been proved by a number of reputavle witnesses that he was an exceedingly bad man and very un- Ac- Teliable. On the other hand a great number of very respectable witnesses had testified to the | BLexceptionably good reputation ot the prisoner. ‘The jury renaered a verdict of not guilty with- out leaving their seats. The announcement of the verdict was followed | by manifestations of applause among the crowd in attendance, which the Court promptly rebuked, Judge Barrett then gave a brief moral lecture to the prisoner and discharged him, Some talk ensned between the District Attorney and Judge Barrett as to Pertain and Joyce. The former suggested that he thought it wonld be proper to still keep them in the House of Detention pending any action he might thjok it his duty, in View of the result of the present trial, to take in the case. Judge Barrett approved of the sugges tion, leaving the matter in the District Attorney’s hands, and then adjourned the Court till next Monday. SHANTY RESIDENTS IN COURT. Michael Stokes and seven others occupy shan- ‘Wes in 108th street, between First and Second ave- Bues, under leases for ten years, ovtained from | one DeGroot. The latter claims to be owner tn fee of the lots on which the shanties are situated, | ander a conveyance obtained from the corpora- | tion. Patrick Cassidy sets up a clatm of owner- ship to the same property under a trust deed bear- Ing date 1832, Mr. Cassidy thought to induce the partes occupying the premises to pay rent to im, which they reiused to do, and there- upon he instituted p.oceedings of ejectment Sxainst them. While the matter was in dispute Cassidy indaced the tenants to sign a written in- strument acknowledging him to ve the owner of the property and agreeing to pay him the rent they had previously been paying to De Groot. The tenants aver that they were induced to sign this document on the representation that tne Jeases they held from De Groot were apsolutely voul, and that they would be allowed to remain $n peaceiul occupation of thé premises dur- ing the residue oF the leases on the same terms as beiore, Finding that tis was not the effect of the instrument they reinsed payment to Cassidy, and thereupon he commenced summary | sien for ejectment, before Judge Lane, | ‘pon this application was made to Cbiel Justice Daly, holding Special Term of tne Court of Com. mon Pleas, for a temporary injunction restraining Uassidy irom prosecuting these proceedings, A Metin Was made to dissolve this injunction, Chief Justice Daly gave ® decision in the case to-day, embodying the same iu an elaborate opin- fon depying the motion, .

The counsel ealled the attention of the Court to the conduct of George | Patrick Fox and Jonn Glisey, witnesses for the prosecution, who followed Mrs, Myers to the Tombs, ‘using vile epithets and conducting themseives in | such @ manner as to make it necessary for the officers who had her in charge to take reluge in a horse car.

It was clearly established that the woman was intem- Perate and had been subject to repeated attacks of epilepsy, and that on the morning in question she was evidently laboring under the effect of one, Of these fits, and was not responsibie jor her act. Mr. Kollins said that in accordance with the s¢t authorizing the appointment of the commission he would move for an order directing the woman to be sent to the State Lunatic Asylum, Judge Sutherland expressed great confidence in the intelligence of the commission, but expressed the opinion that the act which gave a cominission the power to pronounce upon the sanity or insan- ity Of a person was unconstitutional and an inno- Yatton upon the common law and trial by jury. His Honor, however, intimated that he wouia grant the ‘order when the prosecuting officer asked for it, ALLEGED JEWELRY THIEVES BROUGHT FROM SAN FRANCISCO.

COMMISSION OF APPEALS, ALBANY, Jan, 14, 1874, There will be no further day calendar during the present term. GREAT WALKING MATCH IN ENGLAND. (From the London Standard, Dec. 22.) Perkins, the champion, failed to do his task yes- terday afternoon. and gave up at the commence- ment of the seventh mile. Rerkins was fora long while considered one of the best of the second rate walkers, and ina short time he effectually disposed of all the local challengers in bis native district of Paddington. His next game w high one, and no other than Stockwell, who for a long while had held the championship in Quis branch of sport, They met on level terms jast spring at Lite Bridge, and then Perkins did the greatest recorded ieat by covering the three miles ander 20m. time ne 478, Stockwell had up to this done the best time, viz, 2lm, when beat one Hurley, who had ho _pretensio to style. This wonderiul periormance placed Ver- kins at once at the top of the tree, and there was no one leit to compete with him but Father Time, and in this matcn the venerable acythe-bearer | came off triumphant. Cnaries Westnail stands as one of the grea: heroes of a past age; then foliow Spooner, who used run as well as walk, aud sometimes Doth at same time; then Topley, | Miles and Davidson. The latter was one of the fastest and best walkers of the later days, and he has done nearer eight miles in the hour than any other man, Perking had @ numerous clientéle, and so had Father Time. The stakes (£200) were heavy ones, and no doubt few who were without Iriends could have found them, but any one who goes straignt in the sporting worid need never tear tor friends, be tt on the turi, river, or running path, The late snowy weather had no effect on the | path at Lillie Bridge, West Brompton; it had been carefully rolled, swept and asned and was in freczing—not a day that would be selected for a | great feat. Nor is Decemoer, either, the season for outdoor training for such @ task, So thought the iriends oj time, and they backed it at six to four, Perkins bad been training down in the country and bas done, it was said, eight and o quarter miles in the hour; but more is’ generally often led away by these rumors, There was a very large attendaoce—over 3,000 people tn the stands—who were very hearty in their applause, tric clock most eagerly. Setl's Life was reteree, but | no caution or appeal was once made—Perking’ | style was too fair for remark, He went off ata good pace and strode away very eveniy for the , which we would have liked tohave seen in his ponte fact, he looked as ii he was chilling In the fourth mile, or half way, it was 8D anxious time for bis friends. “Iney pull ap some time as nis work and recover his lost seconds, but the clock pointed to 30:33 at the end of the lourth mile, or 33 seconds to the bad; 4 tol and 6 to 1 Were now Jaid on time, and as he gradu- ally got slower tue task appeared hopeless. Five six miles in 46 min. 45 sec. was 1 min. 43 sec. be- hind time. He went on gameiy for another lap (49 min. 29 sec.) and then stopped, quite Knocked up. His iriends took him in and rubved him warm, and he was driven home inacab. That he can nearly do ‘he feat 1s certain: toat he will try @gain 1s also certain; but we should advise him to select More genial weather, and then he may do himself justice, The times were :— MS, sees 655 Pour miles, +1457 Five mile: 222 24 Six inties GREAT PAIR-OARED RACE ON THE TYNE FOR £400. [From the London Standard, Dec, 22.) The pair-oared race for £200 a side between Thomas Winship aud Kobert Bagnall, of Newcastle, on the one part, aud Robert Watson Boyd, of Gateshead, and William Lumsden, of Blyth, on the other part, took place yesterday on the Tyne, ever @ course from the Hign Level ridge to Scofswood Suspension bridge, a distance of about vhree miles and a half.

Tne careers of Thomas Winship and Bag- One mili Tw Beek sue pall are well known, Few men have held such an _ honorable position among Tyneside oarsmen as Winship, Bo: and Lumsden have rowed in many races, but Were not generally known uncl they pluckily entered into articies to row a double ‘sculling race on the Thames, on October 15, against Thomas Green and Henry Thomas, of Hammesmith, tor £200 a side, and which was won by the northern pair by jour lengths. Sooo aiter returning to their iomes Boyd and Lumsden cnallenged Winsaip and Bag- | nall to row a pair-oarea or a double seuliing | maten on the Tyne; and although the season tor the match to be rowed in Was not most _sultabie, the challenge was quickly accepted.

Since the articles were signed all tulogs have eope on satisfactorily, The men have most carefully traimed, aud div all in their power to render themselves fit for the | stroggie, Mr. Willlam Gidham was appointed releree. Owing to the upper part of the river being ob- Structed with ice it was agreed that the race should be rowed un the lower reaches of the river. The new course was from Bill Point to Howden Dock landing stage. which is about three miles and three-quarters in length. The becting was at | five to four on Boyd and Lumsden. Winship and | Bagnall got away witn a lead of hal! a length, but | by the time fiity yards had been rowea Boyd and | his Companion rowed up and took the lead.

It was eviaent, however, that the great strength of Boyd and Lumsden were going to stand them in good need. A quarter ofa Mile jrom the start Boyd and Lumsden were lead- | Ing by nearly two lengths, and by the ume half a mile was got over Winship and Bugnall were recetving the backwash of their opponents, The race was tow virtually over, as (ne young pair were able to respona tn splendid style to any efforts made by Bagnall and Winship.

Ingstone’s magnificent Intertor system of springs, Jakes and rivers lying west of the Tanganyika basio is the main stream of the mighty Nile, And here, for the information of the general | reader, we will briefly describe the wondeziul | Nile and ita basin, as far a8 establisted from actual explorations, and the vast interior sub-equa- torial region, with its magnificent chain of lakes and rivers, discovered by Livingstone, and firmly believed by him to belong to the Nile basin, The Victoria and Albert lakes, lying in the midst of a lJo{ty mass of mountains, on the Equator, and ex- tending some three degrees south of “the line,"? The delta of the Nile, where it is discharged into the Mediterranean, is marked by the thirty-second degree of north latitude, From tts ascertained sources, therefore, the course of the river from south to notth 1s througs thirty-flve degrees of latitude, Between the sonrces and the outlets ’of the Mississipp! there are twenty degrees of lati- tude; so that the old Nile stretches through fifteen degrees more than our ‘Father of Waters,” or, a: tne bird files, the Nile 1s ascertained to be over a thousand miles longer than the Mississtppl. and yet the real sources of the Nile are not established. Bruce thought he had discovered them in the lo{ty plateau of the mountains of Abyssinia; but those lakes and streams were only vhe sources of the Blue Nile and tne Atbara, tribu- | tarles of the main river, which Baker, from actual | Observation, established as furnishing, with cheir spring floods, the annual tuundations of Egypt. The ascertained heads of the matin river, or White Nile, Me a thousand miles sonth of the confluence of the Blue Nile. And yet Livingstone died inthe | faith that there must still be added to the drain- age of the White Nile o region ly!ng to tne south- west of the Albert and Victoria lakes, in the very | heart of the Continent, extending seven or eight hundred miles still further souvnward, and irom | three to four hundred miles in width. This region | is drained by the Luataba River and its numerous tributary lakes and streams; and if Livingstone was right as to the tdgntity of this great stream, then the sources of Old Father Nile lie eight de- grees south of the Equator, and his course is through forty degrees of latitude, and is twice, in & straight line, the course of tne Mississippi. This is the matter which Stanley has now in hand, and concerning which, io taking up tne trail of Livingstone. be 1s confidently expected to finish triumphantly the brave old man’s glorious under- taking. Toward the solution of this very interesting and important problem of the Nile sources we have the following discoveries made from actual ex- plorations :— First—The discovery of the Victoria Lake by Speke and Grant, which they believed to be the discovery of the 1ountain-nead of the Nile. Second—The discovery by Baker of the Albert Lake, which, In conjuaction with the Victoria, he believed at the time as embracing the drainage of the head basin of the great river. Third—The exploration oy Petherick of the Banr-el-Ghazal, or Ghasell, soutuward beyond What he believed to be the watershed of the Nile, on the east side of the Albert Lake, Fourth—Various explorations of Lake Tangan- yika, lying south of the Albert lake, to which we shall preseatly refer. Fifth—Livingstone’s explorations and i coveries, west of the Tanganyika, in the great in- terior basin of the Luaiaba River. Sixth—the late adventures of Baker between the Victoria and Albert lakes. Seventh—Uhe recent explorations and discoveries | of Long and Cameron. From all these explorations and discoveries the only fact established bearing upon the Nile rial basin of the Albert and Victoria lakes ts | drained into the Nile.

The nautical school ou board the St. Mary's, the United States sailing sloop-ol-war detatled by the President jor the service, haf at last been fairly opened aud the work of fraining boys to be good seamen begun. There are already sixty boys on the St. Mary's, and Mr. Wetmore, the chairman of the Nautical School Committee of the Board of Kaducation, is daily receiving a large number of applications from boys who have an inclination for sea lue, The maximum number of pupils ts | 200; but it will probably be some time before this will be reached, as great care has to be used, all ap- | plications from boys who are not fitted, from any cause, to become good seamen being rejected, | Every applicant 18 first examined by Mr. Wet | more, who satisfies himself that he has attended | school beiore and can read and write, This is all | that ts expected of the boys, as it is not intended to make projownd scholars of them, BUY GOOD, EFFICIENT SEAMEN.

This excursion established tne tact that the gen ral outflow of the lake was to the south. The con- cluston pee followed that the outfowin; stream from the lake was at its southern end, an Was discharged into the Indian Ocean.
