     We are in the midst of a .e\'0lIm0l| 
     
     which will be recorded as one of the most 
     
     remarkable in the annals of liistory—whtc 
     
     was designed, and is destined to olfecl I 
     
     most important change in the social, moral 
     
     and political character of the State.

     On Wednesday afternoon last, at about 
     
     5 o'clock, the whole city was roused by 
     
     the report that Jiuas \Vii.i_.tnI lied 
     
     been shot dead in the greatest business tho- 
     
     rought'are ofthe city, by James P. Casey, 
     
     a Sing-Sing convict. Casey was known 
     
     as a successful ballot-box stufi'er—se Ille- 
     
     ceasful, that on counting the votes In llll 
     
     \‘Vard, it was found he was elected one of 
     
     the Supervisors of this county, by a large 
     
     majority, although he was not even knot"! 
     
     by the voters as a candidate. He Woe 
     
     also well-known its the man who had been 
     
     engaged in a murderous afl'ray growing out 
     
     of one of these political operations. HI! 
     
     name was a prominent one among the 
     
     many hundreds of giimblers and shoulder 
     
     strikers that have always ruled this city_, 
     
     and the house of every harlot opened, as if 
     
    

    
     by magic, when his well-known ltnoe 
     
     echoed through its halls. 
     
     ‘rue ituaosana. 
     
    

    
     ' Vt’ould you believe it, when I tell you 
     
     that James P Casey was also known II 
     
     the proprietor and ostensible editor of I 
     
     Sunday paper, the Times, which paper as- 
     
     sumed great respectability, and had hun- 
     
     dreds, aye, perhaps thousands ofinfluential 
     
     supporters? It is too true. What fear 
     
     had he, then, with all that has embodied 
     
     the power of this city in his favor, and with 
     
     the knowledge that no man of his class he 
     
     ever been punished for murder in San 
     
     Francisco-—what fear had he of the law's 
     
     retributlons. The only danger to him was 
     
     that ofinstsnt execution at the hands ofthe 
     
     people.But this was provided against. ‘HI! 
     
     friends stood around him, and a carriage 
     
     was ready to hear him to the jail, which it 
     
     was supposed would be an ark of safety to 
     
     him. 
     
    

    
     But Casey ivofully miscalculated the 
     
     spirit and courage of the better portion of 
     
     our people.

     It can scarcely be said, that there was 
     
     any excitement among the people. At 
     
     least there was no sudden outbreak—no 
     
     ebullition offeeling that would naturally fol- 
     
     low such a monstrous outrage on a citizen 
     
     so deep in the affections of the people. 
     
     And every man's eye flashed when he spoke 
     
     of it, and every man's countenance express- 
     
     ed a settled determination to avenge Mr. 
     
     King's wrongs and the wrongs that have 
     
     been heaped upon this devoted city. Every 
     
     man felt that the time had come for action 
     
     all acknowledged that there were but two 
     
     questions at issue : Shall we forsake this 
     
     fair city, and deliver it up to the gamblers, 
     
     thieves, and murderers ?—or shall we drive 
     
     their to the wall ?

     THE RUGELEY. MURDER- 
     
     The most remarkable criminal trial of 
     
     moderign times has terminated in a ftill 
     
     and unhesitating conviction of the accused, 
     
     and \Villiam Palmer stands condemned to 
     
     die by the hand ofthe ban man. No ration- 
     
     nl man, who has attends to the astonishing 
     
     chain of evidence developed in the course 
     
     of this extraordinary “ inquest of blood," 
     
     can entertain a doubt that the finding ofthe 
     
     jury is right and the sentence of the Court 
     
     'ust. William Palmer is to die a feloii’s 
     
     death for the wilful, deliberate, co|d-blood- 
     
     ed, and cruel murder of his intimate as- 
     
     sociate and friend. The henloui-mess of 
     
     crime could hardly be carried lurther ; yet 
     
     there is but too much reason to fear that 
     
     this great culprit’s guilt was not limited 
     
     to this single instance of treacherously 
     
     breaking into the “ house of life," but was 
     
     infamously extended to others in which the 
     
     victims stood to him in a closer and more 
     
     sacred relationship than that of mere friend- 
     
     ship. liito that field of suspicion, however‘ 
     
     we are forbidden to enter ; it is enough 
     
     that the proof of guilt has been brought 
     
     home to him in one instance, and that the 
     
     claaimsofpublic justice are thereby vindi- 
     
     cated. ' 
     
    

    
     All the circumstances attendant upon this 
     
     remarkable crime have served to invest it 
     
     with a more than ordinary amount of public 
     
     interest. Never in late times has it case of

     On Sunday mcrain at 9 o’clock, the di- 
     
     vision began to use able at their arinories. 
     
     At ll} o'clock, lines of citizen-infantry 
     
     were marching from diflereat points towards 
     
     Broadway, in which the jail was situated. 
     
     This force numbered 1,500 buyonets. Im- 
     
     mediately followed a cotnpany 100 strong 
     
     of rifles, and then the artillery, and a art 
     
     of a company of horses. Five hun i-ed 
     
     men, armed with revolvers also maacbed 
     
     into Broadway. Eight hundred men remain- 
     
     ed in the armories as a reserve. a spec- 
     
     tacle was a most solemn and imposing one. 
     
     No bugle's blast or beat ofdrum was hear 
     
     —-nothing but the heavy tread of masses of 
     
     armed men. Searcely a word was spoken 
     
     by the thousands of spectators who almost 
     
     choked up the streets. The people in a 
     
     few minutes covered allthe steeples, houses 
     
     and hills in the vicinity of the jail. The 
     
     two thousand armed men were drawn up on 
     
     every side of the building, as if for a siege. 
     
     The rifles were posted on the roofs of the 
     
     houses overlooking the prison. A heavy 
     
     piece of ordnance was planted, pointed 
     
     dead at the great iron door, and loaded on 
     
     the spot. A man stood beside it with 
     
     match lighted. Stones were delibera, tcly 
     
     carried up the steps, and placed in the gun- 
     
     ports of the prison. When all was ready,

     ly mansion and estate from sale by auction 
     
     by his creditors— a struggle which of late 
     
     years has caused him incessant literary 
     
     labour—has ended in failure, and that he, 
     
     in consequence, a ruined and broken heart- 
     
     ed man, has resolved on emigrating to the 
     
     United States of America. 
     
    

    
     A crowd of literary and theatrical ladies 
     
     of influence was present at the church of 
     
     St. Philips, Paris, a few days since, to wit- 
     
     ness the nuptials ofMdlls, Dumas, dau h-

     wealthy Iiabilua of the Bourse. During the 
     
     Mass, the “ 0 Salutaris hostia" was splen- 
     
     didly sung by the celebrated Roger, of the 
     
    

    
     rand Opera. It is reported that young 
     
     A. Dumas presented his sister with £2,000 
     
     on the happy occasion.

     ofthe deed that the prisoner's a visers ask-i

     Finally, six months after the commission of 
     
     the crime, the Chief Justice of England, 
     
     and two otherjudges celebrated for their ex- 
     
     perience and acuteness, took their seats on

     class of population numbering 3,000,000 of 
     
     souls, removed as far as possible every sus- 
     
     picion of unfairness. Then'came a trial of 
     
     extraordinary length and labour. The 
     
     opening speech of the Attorney-General 
     
     lasted more than four hours ; his reply was 
     
     nearly as long. The prisoner's counsel de- 
     
     fended him in a speech of eight hours. 
     
     The case for the prosecution lasted six 
     
     days ; that for the defence more than three.

     happens as a public writer has well observ- 
     
     ed, that the downward career of an indi- 
     
     vidunl is so plainly brought before the 
     
     world as a warning to those who are on the 
     
     threslfold of wrong. From gambling to in- 
     
     solvency,__from insolvency to forgery, from 
     
     forgery to murder of the foulsst kind, his 
     
     life has been sufliciently dramatic to dwell 
     
     in the recollection of the most unthinking. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The nation states that three of the Irish 
     
     political exiles, John Dillon, John Martin, 
     
     and Kevin O'Doherty, have this week ar- 
     
     rived in Ireland, and that Smith O‘Brian

     The most cheering accounts of the crops 
     
     are new daily received from every part of 
     
    

    
     reland. Every description of crop ex- 
     
     hibits the utmost luxuriance, and the farm- 
     
     ers have given up all their recent apprehen- 
     
     sions. The potatocs have a most flourish- 
     
     ing appearance, and it is stated that even 
     
     in the harvist soils the rain has not inflict- 
     
     ed any damage. Some cattle were killed 
     
     by lightning in the county of Limerik on 
     
     Tuesday last. 
     
    
   
   
    
     EXTRAORDINARY ACCl|)EN'l‘.—An extra- 
     
     ordinary operation, necessitated by a sin- 
     
     gular accident, has been performed in the 
     
     Bristol Royal Infirmary. A young Irish- 
     
     man, named Patrick Haggarty, residing in 
     
     New-street, St. Philip's, while romping 
     
     with some of his countrywomen and neigh- 
     
     bors, ran alter a buxom girl, who was en- 
     
     gaged in seamstress work, and gave her a 
     
    

    
     ug in sport. It proved, however, any- 
     
     thing but sport to him, for as be pressed 
     
     the girl to his bosom it turned out all but a 
     
     fatal embrace, its a needle which was in 
     
     the breast of her gown literally entered the 
     
     cavity of his chest, and broke oil‘, leaving 
     
     nearly three-quarters of an inch of steel in 
     
     the muscles.—Ha arty instantly felt sick 
     
     and faint, and was taken to the inlirmary, 
     
     where it was determined to make an effort 
     
     to extract the needle, so as to prevent in- 
     
     flammation of the heart and death from on- 
     
     suing Dr. Green accordingly cut through 
     
     the outer flesh, and having laid bare the 
     
     surface ofthe heart discovered a small por- 
     
     tion of the needle fra merit protrudin , 
     
     which he drew out with orceps. The defi- 
     
     cste operation was most aqcceslftll, and 
     
     Haggarty, though not yet entirely out of 
     
     danger, is progressing favorably. 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     Tin: Taui.r Pows.arui..—-Many an mis- 
     
     led by their admiration of what is called a 
     
     powerful discourse, [forgetting that‘ ‘that is 
     
     the most powerful which best effects the 
     
     object proposed. The power of a sample 
     
     of gunpowder, or of a piece of ordnance, is 
     
     tested, not by the loudness of the report, 
     
     but by the depth of the impression made on 
     
     the target.
