“THE BENCHER EXAMINATION, eeeeemenheemmcanee Adjournment of the Court on Account of the Tilness of Counsellor Beach, A REST TILL MONDAY. Large Attendance of the Plymouth People to Hear the Pastor's Closing Denials. CLOSE OF THE NINTH WEEK. Probably Only Another Day for the Defendant's Direct Testimony—Then for the Cross- Fire of Keen Questioning, Another week, the ninth of the trial, nas fragzed its slow length along, yesterday being the sixty-Mfth day on which the Court assembled to hold sessions and proceed with the case. The court room and its approaches were crowded as usual—but it may be said ‘a little more so’’—from the impression that had been rumored, abroad shat counsel for the deiendant would bave got through the direct examination, and that during the aiternoon probably Mr. Beecher would be sub- Jected to tne first cross-fire of questioning by the platavif’s counsel. There might have been also a deeply sympatnetie feeling dominating the crowd, or at least a goodly portion of it, that pressed for gimittance yesterday in view of the contingency referred to—the close of the dicect examination and the crossing of that terrible Rubicon by the witness, which brings bim Jor the first time lace to face in conflict with those who, with Ithuriel spears, would seek to pierce every weak and penetrable spot in the panoply of defence io which he has been for the last seven days, with the aid of bis trusty armorers, Evarts & Co., encasing himself, Among tnis portion of the audience were those who came to hear the closing solemn denials of the defendant of the criminal and disgraceiul acts charged against him; to remember and cherish the pasvor’s words as articles of faith in the housenold circle, But these and all others—the immense throng, rever- ent and irreverent alike—that putin an appear- ance in the close court room were doomed to dis- appointment, a8 no hearing was had in the case in consequence of the illness of plaintif’s couns Mr. Beach. All the preliminary incidents of the opening of each day’s session had this occurrence as usual— who thought of an adjournment without @ ses- sion?’—and all were on the tip toe of expectation. ‘The court ushers ana oMcers found themseives back in the flood tide of the excitement, and un- fler the old difficulty in stemming or turning aside the rush of eager claimants for a piace inside the court room. Tickets of admission were of no avail, the cry of “no seats and no standing room” from the police in the corridors, nor the ebb stream of previous claimants from the outer doors had any effect upon the incoming throng, and in very despair the officers allowed one parricade after anotuer to be curried, till further advance was impossible aud retreat was cut off for those in front. Mr. Beecher, upon whom all eyes were turned gs soon ashe appeared in court, passed through the crowd up to his counsels’ table, and was there greeted by ex-Judge Porter and Mr. Evarts. The great defendant made but a slight halt on bis way to the witness stand, which he seems to have ac- quired as great a pencuant for as either Moulton or Bessie Turner herself, Tne Beecher family were all there, and took their seats with an air nite as nonchalant as the most uninterested of the audience. This daily renewal 0: a trial, the initiatory steps to which all rignt-minded people deplored, seems now to have 1s own fascination, a as in very nature and attitude of vice— A monster of so frightful mien As, to be hated, needs but to be seen; Yet seem too off, tamiliar with her face, We pity Orst endure, then pity, embrace, Mr. Beecher generally spends the few moments during the preparatory occupation by counsel in a quiet survey of the surroundings of tne court room. fe listens to Chief Clerk Malison’s cail of the jury as tt that individual was giving out the first verse of a psalm, thay the aioresaid jury were to arise and chant to the tune of “Old Hunared,” Matison’s voice being just of the right piten to lead ou with. Mr. Beecner’s look wanders over aud lingers long upon the faces of the array of re- porters that are passing jokes and quirps among themselves bere the squeai of “Now, Mr. Beecher,” from Evarts denotes that the seri- pus business of the day has commenced ior them as Well as for the witness-deleudant.

The ckuess of leach, senior counsel for the Plaintil, necessitated ab adjournment until Mon- day. MR. BEACH’S ILLNESS. Judge Netison—Will the counsel proceed ? Mr. Fullerton—If Your Honor please, we feel very much embarrassed on our side in conse- quence of the absence of Mr. Beach, occasioned, as | suj pose, by his tilness, He was exceedingly unwell all Gay yesterday, so much so that ne could not participate in the incidental discussions oi che day, in consequence of a very severe and painsul atiack of peuraigic headache, He did not join me this worning, He Was accustomed te and I presume he is confined to bis nouse. He may be in, however, in @ short period, it Your Honor will allow ua we will consult for a moment what cuurse to take. APPLICATION FOR ADJOURNMENT, Messrs. Fuilertou and Morris consulted for @ few Mowevts, and Mr. Fullerton then said:—if Your Honor piease, the importance of tnis case and the great responsibility resting upon the counsel on the Part 0: the piaiu til seem vo make it proper that we Should ask that this cause lie over untii Monday morning, toless Mr, Beach comes wituin a short period. We are without the aid of our other as- ciate, Generai Pryor, and, so (ar as Judge Morris nd mysell-are concerned, we leei unwilling to take the. fesponMogiity of conducting this case unaided vy either of our Other associates, AS matter Of course, the evidence Of tue Witness on the stand is of very great importance to this case, and the events to which nerealter his attention is to be cailed, will nave @ very great iufuence on the case, and We desire the presence oi Mr. beach be.ore we proceed. Your Honor probably is aware that he is to preseny tnis case to the jury, and he would be taken at great dis- auvantage if he were not present to hear the tes- timony «ive by the witness, and to derive all the advantages Whivh fow trom a presence in court ‘when Ue evidence is given. he may be here yet in a siort period; | don’t know; | have had no Message irom fin this morning, and if he isn't here fery soon, we shail lave to ask the indal- gence of the Comrt tli Monday morning. Mr. Morris—I feel quite sure, if the Court please. that Mr, Beach Is detained ac his nouse by sick: ness. Hvery day since the trial bas commenced he hus been very prompt—indeed, ahead of time. 1 know that yesterday he suffered very severely, and tiat he Was unable during recess to partake Of any jood, and Was in disiress ali day, 1 nardiy think there 18 aay probability of mis arriving, DEFENDANI'S COU ON THE SITUATION.

THE COURT ADJOURNS, Judge Netison—The question is tay Teason- able, and the kind manner in which it Is received by the other side 18 very gratifying; and I think, Vhat being the view of counsel, we Will now ad- jours, Gentlemen, get ready to retire. We ad- journ unt!l Monday morning, at eleven o’clos ‘The Cour! then adjourned, MR. BEECHER BUILT IN COMPARTMENTS. After the adjournment Mr. Beecher sat among nis iriends for a few moments onatting, when he was accosted by a reporter, who suggested to him that there seemed a Providence in the relief irom the strain of the trial. Mr. Beecher—There is @ Providence in every- thing, my boy, Reporter—L suedepe this morning that this being Friday, if you should pass an exciting day on the stand for you, it would perhaps interiere with your prayer-meeting this evening. Mr. Beecher—Oh, nO, sir; that would not make the least difference in the world, I am like one of those steamers built in water-tight compart- ments. I! one of them ger shed and flied up the rest are allright, I¢ di not make @ bit of difference on that account. I think now I will take a ramole amongthe book shops. This trial has been like hash to me. You Know hash is very ood occasionally, but when you have had it for itty or sixty days right along it becomes a littie tiresome. PLYMOUTH PRAYER MEETING. THE COMPANY OF CHRIST—-SLANDERING THE WRONG MAN. Ithas now become so necessary to be early at Plymouth prayer meeting, inorder to gain an en- trance, that people are obliged to invent some occupation by which to keep them- selves awake during the three-quarters of an hour waiting. Kntwting, crochet work, books, magazines and newspapers are allin order, ao that jor half an hour or 60 previous to Mr, Beecber’s entrance the room pree sents the appearance half of a Dorcas society (an exceedingly well regulated one) and half of a read- ing room, Mr. Beecher came in last evening at twenty-five minutes pust seven, and gave out the hymn in his usual style—‘'1,261,” Then (an almost un- heard of thing in Plymouth church) he said, “Leave out the third verse.” But as they came to it he said, ‘Sing the third verse; sing {t all.’ The verse in question was as follows:— Isthis the man of sorrows Who stood at Pilate’ Condemned by haugh' And vy his men of war? He seems a mighty conqueror Who spoiled the powers below, And ransomed many captives From everlasting woe. After a prayer by Mr. Beecher himself he com tinued—Now sing the hymn I meant to give you before, 1,265; the figures were blurred and I gave out the wrong one, but still I am glad of it now. Mr, Beecher began his remarks by saying:— When our Lord was on eartn He astonished the good people very much by His carelessness and want of prudence, especially in the company He kept. The impression was prevalent tnat a good man ougot only to be found in good com- pany. And there was probably never such @ gathering in Judea as Chris: brought together, ragged and filthy, corrupt men and corrupt women. He might have gone on 4 mountain and talked with them from afar; but He did not do so; He allowea them to touch Him and even sat at table with them, It gave rise to many scenes, it came to aes that Corist sat at meat and sinaers sat with to cone the evidence of this witness to- We been uisappornted, but we did expect to be, And if is also proper | saould Miimate thet there way Arise OMe question ot some presstire in regard tu the admission of eve dence, and im that view the day wouid, perhaps, ve one when the attendance of their velatos might thore than ordinariy important H the evidence was Closed then It Would be mcapable of reconsideration.

Judge Noiison—I have a strong impression that im, and When the Pharisees saw it they said to the aposties, “Why eateth your master wito pub- licang and sinners? and Christ hearing it said:— They that are whole need not @ physician, but they that are sick.” ‘1 will Rave mercy and not sacrifice.” What does mercy mean? Pity, humanity. What does sacrifice mean? The most sacred of offerings upon the altar of divine pity. He makes them stand one against the other. God’s heart was Juil of tender sideration for men, aud in proportiun as they are bad they are needy. in the Sermon on the Mount He says, “lt toou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother has augut against thee, leave there thy gift and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come gpd offer thy git.’ Woen you have done your duty to suflering men, then J am ready for you. Weil, you will \ake Dotice Of a remarkabie scene in the last part of Matthew—ol the final juagment, Jt 18 Dot a literal description, but as much a par- able as any. “When the Son of man shall come in all his glory and ali the boly augeis with him, then shall he sit on tne throne of bis glory, aud before him shall be gathered all nations (which means Gentiles), and on the right hand are the sheep and on the left band goats, and he says to those on nis right nano, “Come ye biessed of my Father, inberit tue kingdom prepared jor you from the foundation o! tue worla. For I was an hungered aud ye gave me meat; I was thirsty and ye gave me drink; I was a nger and ye took me iu, naked and clothed me, 1 was sick and ye visited me, 1 was io prison and se came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer nim saying, Lord, whe wwe thee an hungered and {ed thee, or thirsty and gave thee drink? When aaw we thee a stranger ana took thee im, or naked and clotned thee. Or when saw we thee sick or in prison and came unto thee? And the King shall answer ana say unto them, Verily; I say unto you, inas- mich as ye have done it unto one of tie least of these my brethren ye have done it unto me.” What then is the test? How many prayers have you uttered? How many times you have gone to churca? No, but how have you been carrying yourself toward your iellow men? Are we to understand worship is nothing ? uy, no, is jor en- joyment. Whatisitfor? Is it good for anything?

How do you know whether yoo nave reaped that effect? By the way you carry yoursell toward your jeliow men. There are &® great number of men who think piety A SUBSTITUTE FOR HONOR AND MORALITY. ‘The jecling 1s that piety is the universal torm, and, though the others ‘are important, they are like the fringe Of a silk shawl—you can get aio! witbout it. 1 have been a reader cf religious news- papers, and I have observed thatif ao utverance 18 made that seems to take away irom the view of the or thas ems to throw. a doubt on the ae’ or if @ minister or elder or deacon is fouod riding unnecessarily on Sunday they will come aown on such men with ali vengeance, urged by what y thiulness to the cause, and yet en they get a chance ata minister trey don’t like they Will jab tim without any nesitation, and when convicted Of it they will turn a compiete somerset and make an apology meaner than tae offence.

NUMBER OF HORSES IN TRAINING—NEWMABEET HEATH—MATTHEW DAWSON’S STABLES—THE FAVORITES FOR THE TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS, THE DERBY AND OTHER EVENTS. NEWMARERT, March 26, 1875. Newmarket, the centre from whiob radiates all the race courses of the world, and tn whose limits at the present writing twice as many horses are in training as thero are in the whole United States, was visited yesterday by your correepond- ent, in company with Mr. Charles Bathgate, of New York, whose mission here is to look over the racing stables of Engiand and see if there is any- thing to be learned in the breeding, rearing and training of the thoroughbred horse, Three hours! run by rail from London through a most beautiful country brought us to the Ratland Arms, one of the two largo hotels of the place. After afew inquirtes as to localities we sallie¢ forth in the pursuit of knowledge. The first call was made at the paddocks of Mr. Barrow, a veterinary surgeon, where we saw the brown stallion Seo Saw, 15%, brown, black points, 10 years old, who was 4 capital racehorse while on the turi; King of Scots, brown, with white heels, 154%, 10 years old, a very good racehorse; brown horse Tipthorpe, 9 years old, and the grand old chestnut stallion Cathedral, by New- minster, out of stoien Moments, by Melbourne. This horse is 14 years old, 16.1, magnificently formed, with the finest head and most intelligent eye ever seen, and yet the poor beast is so aMicied with rheumatism that he walks with great dim- culty on three legs, He is still doing paddock duty at £50, He has been a cripple for four years. ‘The Newminster blood 1s so much sought after in Great Britain that Cathedral is in great demand, Running about nis paddock is a yearling by Blair Athol, ous of Southern Cross, who was purchased by Captain Machell when six months old for £1,000. The colt is very large and has ail the rac- Ing points finely developed. Much is expected of him in tbe future. Leaving here we Visited the park paddock of Mr. Savage, where the bay stal- Mon Kingcratt has nis home, This horse was sired by King Tom, out of Woodcrait, by Rataplan, is 6 years old and stands 15% hands high. Kingcratt is a handsome horse, with good legs, and resem- bles the horse that Mr, Ten Broeck imported into Kentucky called Phaeton, the latter being tne sire of the colt St. Martin, entered in the Belmont and other stages. Kingcraft is the property of Lord Palmerston, and he 1s making a very profit- ole season for him. Then we wended our way to the grand racing establishment of Matthew Dawsop, who is acknowledged to be one of the best trainers of racing horses in the world, and who has followed the profession for thirty-five years. He has a princely residence, with surroundings unsur- parsed for the Dusiness of the owner. Approach- ing the door we rang the bell, handed in our cards, and were told that Mr. Dawson was not at home but on the Heath witha string of horses. His good wife came to the door before we le(t and said that Matthew would be home at «ix o'clock, and she knew that he would be happy to welcome us. An hour later one of Dawson’s men was looking for us with an invitation to call and see his horses in tneir stalls by gaslight, when they would be all stripped and ready for inspection, as ir Js the custom of this estabushment to light up the stables brililantly in the evenings and keep the horses company until bed time, a practice that is considered much better than locking them up at dark and leaving them alone until morning, ‘There js no doubt that this system bas a great deal to do with the temper and nealth of the horse, as of the sixty odd head in these stables there 1s not a vicious one nor one addicted to the practices prevalent in the American stables by colts, Anothef improvement in training has Leen carried out for some time in this neighborhood, and that istoleave the horses in their stables Until the sun is up and all malaria and dampness are dispelled, Nine o’clock is as soon as any of the horses are taken to the Heath for work, Prompuly at six o’clock, which was about dark, Matthew Dawson gave orders to light up the stables, which take up three sides of a lurge hollow square, the fourth side being nis residence. Entering the stables we beheld a most interesting spectacle. Here were sixty horses briiliantly in view, with each horse having @ boy busy at him with whisps of straw. The equines appeared happy at the sight of strangers and seemed to recognize us a8 old friends. An inspection of the horses then began, but a description o: a tew of the best is ali that need be given, as there were ® great number of them that are not worthy of record here, and will not be likely to get oné in the turf calendars as winners in the tuture, An American is much surprised at the vast number of apparently worthless weeds that are in training atthe various establishments, as they dre more numerous in proportion to numbers in the stables of England than in the United States. Some Americans who have visited Engiand and have listened to stories, instead of seeing for them- selves, have returned home with the belief that second-rate horses in England were better than American first class. This is @ great mistake. Matthew Dawson, probably, has as good, if nota better lot, than any trainer at Newmarket, and of sixty he only three of the tirst class, about a dozen second ciass and the others oi a lower grade, The first borse that came uuder inspection was the FIRST FAVORITE FOR THE TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS, Cambalo, bay colt, by Cambuscan, dam Little Lavy. This is mificent looking colt all over. down E B tad and gracetully proportioned from head to tail. There isa fine and intelligent cut about the head, eye and K that makes him very attractive, which, togetner With bis two-year-old performance, nave very reasonably made him first favorite for the two thousand guineas. Judging Irom his foe style of going ‘hich he exhibited on the Heath this morn- | ing at exercise be certainly stands @ good chance ot winning the prize. Those that are backing bim are very sanguiue. He has @ very easy way of striding, With a movement resembling very mucno that of Tom Bowling, Camoallo is not aniike Tom back of the withers, but ois forehead ts mach finer. He is simply a firstclass race horse, and Will win many of the seventeen engagements z le which he is eotere: during the coming year. is owned by Lord Faimoutn, Bay colt, by Maccaroni, out of Repen rviceavle looking lellow, 16 hal White on his near hind foot, and is engaged in the Derby and all the big events of the year.

HEALTH REPORT. ‘The health of all persons on board ts good, JOHN MITCHELL. THE CONVENTION OF IRISH SOCIETIES DETER- MINED TO HAVE A SUNDAY PARADE—THE NA- TIONALISTS RESPECT THE LAW. From statements made by prominent members of the Convention of Irish Societies it appears that the mtiemen who mi we that body and control the various organizations which partict- pated In tne St. Patrick’s Day parade have deter- mined to attempt to bold @ mock funeral in honor of Jovn Mitchel on Sunday, the 18th inst. Having sent a committee to Albany to try and get the law against Sunday parades repealed, they are sanguine of having Mr. Bradiey’s bill pusned through im the course of next week, and even it the bill is Rot passed by that time they calculate on being able to bring such an amount of political influence to bear on the Police Commusstoners as | will Induce them to allow the parade to take place. | Whether the Commissioners have given any en- | couragement to this expectation or not is doubt- fui; but certain it is, the bope is held out by some of the most prominent men in the organizations which love to display their strength on the i7th «of Mareh, and preparations for a turnout are being made. From many indi- cations it is evident that this determinavion been arrived at in consequence of the Com- | mittee of Arrangements having decided to respect the law and give up their intention of parading the streets. The leaders of the Convention of Irish Societies claim to represent the Irish peopié in this city and are not disposed to tolerate any interierence with what they consider as their Tight, and the corpse of Jobn Mitebel is to be made tue subject OF an UUseemly straggle tor pre- cedence among the lactions. ‘ney count on the enthasiasm of the rank and fie to emabie them to carry the project through, knowing the mteusity of their xamiration for Jolin Mite Mr. award L. Carey, in an interview with Mr. Jonn O'Connor, the chairman of the Committee of Arrangements, yesterday announced the intention | gdas laid. thaname of the barsa. whether hacked | af tha canvention of which he 18 a member to haid | company bad to sue tor is avout $25, | ® Mock funeral on the very day set apart by the committee tor the deliver: ro ihe ecal ratios in the “Hippodrome by Mr, {fhomas Clarke Luby, ered and also that another oration would be d by a speaker chosen by the convention. The m composing the Committee of Arrangements art the representatives of the revolutionary organiz> Mons which follow Mr, Mitchel’s teacuings, and most of them have been ail their lives identified with the national movement, many of them bay: ing suffered long terms of imprisonment for theu connection with tt. Wale beg are anxloua to se cure the co-operation of all Irishmen in doing houor to the dead patriot they fee! that the imitia. tive should naturaly come from them, ana wouia regard any confict with the law as disgraceful to the Irish people and iraughs with evil conse. quences. They also deprecate any connection of the proposed Uemonstration with American party politics, such a8 the sending of a commit tee \to Albany for the purpose of infuencing legislation, and believe that the best way to do honor to the memory of Jonn Mitchel wouid be ta present & handsome National testimoutal to his family. They have the support of ine whole body of nationalists, and large nurhbers of respectabie citizens who never parade on St. Patrick’s Day are giving them an earnest support. The St. Patrick’s Alliance of Brooklyn, whicl numbers about 8,000 men, and several temper ance organizations are working heartily with tae committee, aud have withdrawn from the Von vention of Irish Societies, as far as the parade ovncerned, in consequence of the action taken. The feeling among respectable and sensible Irishmen throughout the city is one of unqualified disapproval at the action of the Convention, and in mMauy cases indignation 18 expressed in o¢ measured terms, The Committee of Arrangements will meet this evening at the Northern Hotel, toot of Cortlandt street, to decide on the course to be taken in this emergency. [tis expected that an earnest effort will be made to prevent any disunion or fooish conficts witn the law, and sanguine hopes are entertained that the good sense of the mass of men composing the societies will counteracs the influence of imprudent or reckless leaders, THE CANAL RINGS. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD;— We occasionally catch giimpses of the sourced of political corruption from its working maniies- tations, which, when closely observed, will be fuund a tolerably correct index. Tne joliowing simple statement or instance demonstrates that, astounding as the facts detailed in the Governor's Message on the “Canal Ring” seem to have struck the country, they do not appear more amazing than some of the doings of that curious institu. tion less conspicuously announced. Not long since your correspondent happened to be ins country bank, in a section where its operations have been in full blast for several years, when 4 mechanic of humble means came in to arrange @ small note he bad previousiy got discounted. He paid @ part, but desired the greater portion ex tended on account of his inability to make cok lections. As he seemed honest and intelligent I felt sufficient curiosity to ‘interview’ him as t¢ the causes of mis disappointment. His reply Wad that he lived in an agricuitural section, the mala products of which were apples and beans; tnat Uhe apple crop had to be sold when gathered, and tbe last time at comparatively moderate figures; that the farmers were holding on to their beans for “a rise; that bis town was heavily im debt, being bonded lor a@ raiiroad, to provide for interest OL Which, In addition to other taxes, was & grievous burden and caused depre-sion as well a3 a scarcity of money, I reminded him thas there was ove source of income whica, 11 report did not siander them, he had omitted, the annual saie by tne voters o! their ballots. He replied that il Was true that he himsell had participated In is and was guilty with the rest, and mentioned one of the Ring as paying very bigh jor votes, J asked him if he did not know that & legislator who purchased bis election Was a.most cersain to retm- burse himsel!, aud that a community that sold t Was sure to come to grie!. He said he did, # wished it could be prevented by heavy penalty bus doubted tf it could be done. He stated, how. ever, that they did pot always sell thewseives, bus only when they were indifferent as to candidates, or More especially When they could tind satisiace tory grounds for opposing their own, to which- ever party they happened to belong. A conver- sation with @ neigiocor of his, of more ample means, !ully confirmed the above, and | thought as this mechanic bad been a soldier and risked his life tor tne Calon, to seli his soul to the firs tempter, and who may moreover fairly claim to represent a class—that there was enough 10 it for statesmen even of the reform tendencies ol our excellent Governor and ior others who speculate upon the phases of government to ponder. ©.
