Mr. Waixack then moved that the board adjourn ; pending which, Mr. Lloyd asked that the motion he withdrawn to cnu1 hie. him to move that a committee of three be ap|>ointed ''k to wait upon the mayor for the purpoao of ascertaining M Uin reason* for calling the meeting. y. Mr Ohmk thought such action unnecessary. The gentleman understood the reasons, as it whm well known tliut the mayor wits compelled to call both boards together in order that the Board of Aldermen might take into consideration She police nominations. Mr. Liorn said tliey knew nothing of the mayor's reasons, except what common rumor stated. They had been called together, and it became them to ascertain for what purposes; consequently, he submitted his motion. Mr. Wallace acknowledged the propriety of the motion, hut could not see the necessity of it. The gentleman was well aware the gentleman from the third ward | Mr. Okme] had stated the facts. The object was to legalnk ize the call of tho upper board. All the business the RV mayor had with thcui had already been communicated, b i and he insisted upon.his motion. j1 Mr. Obmk hoped tire gentleman would withdraw his B motion for a moment. Mr. W.uxaoi did bo. Mr. On.nn then stated thnt a bill would shortly be sent down from the upper board which it was necessary for them to pass this evening. It was a bill to borrow $20,000 to carry on the alms-house. The mayor could not make the payments now due, unless authority to borrow the money was given to him. i Mr. Lloyd asked consent to introduce a bill for rcfer; cnce. The Vrwudest Btated the <jucstion to be on the motion that the board adjourn. Mr. Lloyd said it had been withdrawn, aud if the gentleman had desired the motion to remain pending, he should hove received a promise from Mr. Orine to renew it before withdrawing it. lire PawiuK-vr concurred in the statement, and the bill to authorise the hiking up and relaying of the pavements 011 both sides of Maryland avenue, between Twelfth and Fourteenth streets, was read by its title, and referred to the committee on improvements. Mr. Lioyd then submittal] his motion for the appointment of a committee ; pending which, A communication was received from the mayor slating that he had convened the two boards this evoning, in order that they might consider the nomination made by him of Noble J. Thomas for lieutenant of the police ; which was laid on the table: Mr. Lloyd inquired whether it would be in order to move that tin; isjard adjourn and proccod to the room of the Hoard of Aldeimea for the purpi>so of taking into consideration the nomination of Noble J. Thomas. Tire 1'rksihknt replied that it would not be in order, as the CominoA Council had nothing to do with nominations. The board then adjourned. t CRIMINAL COURT. ?TRIAL OF THE BROTHERS I DEVLIN FOR MURDER. Friday, July 'I.?The court met at the usual hour, and, the prisoners having been brought in, the trial was resumed. The petit jurors who were not engaged on the present panel were dismissed until next Tuesday morning at ten o'clock, as it is expected that this trial will occupy the remainder of the present week, and next Monday will bo a national holiday. The prosecution continued the introduction of rebutting evidence by culling? f Jons II. Goudahd (chief of police) sworn.- Remembers the trial at the magistrate's office after the homicide ; Smith was there as the principal witness ; he seemed to be soiier, but somewhat excited on account of the killing of his friend; he came twice ; the lirst time he was in great haste, for officers to arrest some one for that offence ; that was some forty minutes before John Devlin was brought to the office ; after the prisoner was brought there, witness examined Smith on the suhiurt. Mr. Bradley called for the defence? William Kiit sworn.?Smith end Berry were at . witness's house on the day of the homicide, at about 3 > o'clock in the afternoon ; they were drinking freely that ' afternoon at witness's house. Could not may that they were drunk : tlicy wore pretty lively, i Dr. J. W. SrerriMUH sworn.?Saw Berry in Washington Home time during last nmnmer ; he and witness and two others gut a carriage to go to the navy-yard, and when they got to Mr. Devlin's house, Berry requested them to stop while lie went in. They did so, and Berry got out aud went into the house for a few minutes and then returned. This was alrout twelve or thirteen months ago to the best of witness's recollection. A. K, L. Kress recalled for the prosecution.?Did not consider Sniitli drunk on the. day of the homicide ; could smell his breath, aud knew that lie had been drinking. Mrs. Fannt Bf.hhv recalled.?Witness is familiar with the. hand writing of John Devlin ; identities several letters now shown to her to be in his hand-writing. Prvn-cawtintd. Has seen the letters lie (ore ; gave them to Mr. Ferguson, lier father-in-law; thinks she would know her brother's hand-writing wherever she saw it; lie generally signed his name " Joint S. Devlin, jr.," spelling the word "John" in full ; ho sometimes signed it hi other ways, as "J. S. Devlin," and "J. S. A. Devlin." ^ Mr. Br uu.kt here showed witness several other papers, which she considered to be in her brother's hand-writing. Examination in ehi'f rttnmel.?Witness came in tho possession of tliese letters because tlicy were directed to her husband, and she had had them over since. Mr. Of 1.0 then read some of the letters to show tiro good feeling existing between John Devlin arid the deciwsed. 'llio last one was dated April 21, 185t>. Another was read, bearing dab; October 20, 1854; others were written in 1855. Hern the prosecution closed their evidence. . Mr. ItAlei.UTK then stated that tins defence had closed t.lieir evidence also ; and he hiul now a proposition to inakc, which, if it was agreed to by iho other side, would | end the case. lie proposed to ofler a set of instruction* to the jury, and nsl tlieir adoption hy tlie court, and let the counsel on the other ?idc prepare a set of instructions also ; then let the court grant such as it should deem proper, and let the case go to the jnry without argument. Mr. On.o agreed to that proposition. the following arc the instructions prayed for by the defence : 1. If, from the whole evidence aforesaid, the jury believe that one of the prisoners at the bar did, with malice aforethought, inflict upon the person of the said Thos n. Horry, in his lifetime, the wound* whereof he afterwards died, hut urc iu reasonable doubt ?s to which of the prisoners so inflicted the said wounds, their verdict i must I*- "Not guilty" as to both, unless, from the ! evidence aforesaid, they further Iwlbre that at the time ' the "aid wounds wrrr so inflicted the prisoners acted together hy pre-concert, and with the intent to kill the 1 w?td Ihoruss it. Berry, or to dohiro great lx>dily harm. 2. If. from the evidence aforesaid, the Jury believe that ! the wounds whereof -the said Thonins B. Berry died were inflicted by .lohn H. Devlin, one of the prisoners, hut at ul a lime when his mind wan so diseased as to ho unable to j mdci land tlx tine nature of tic acta which h? then \ to distinguish between right and wrong with I reference to said acts, their verdict must he "Jfot guilty" | 1 an to him, and alao "Not guilty" as to James P. Devlin, ! the other prisoner, unless they farther) believe frour the evidence aforesaid that the suid .lames, with malice aforethought, caused the aforesaid John 8. Devlin to lull let the said wounds as afnnwahi 3. If the Jury ladlevo from the evidence that James Devlin (one of the defendants) committed tho homicide charged in the indictment, and that at the time thereof he had reasonable ground to believe Iris life was in dan get, or that the deceased would do iiiur grievous and severe bodily hurm, then they ought to acquit said defendsjit, although In fact the snid deceased did not intend to I take life or inflict severe bodily harm. i 4. ii, from the evidence aforesaid, the jury believe ; that for Heveral years prior to and at the time of the death of the said Berry, bu had been prohibited by.the i lawful owner, possessor, and occu|Minta of the premises wherein lie met his death from entering the same ; and that he had repeatedly entered the same with threats of violence and against the will of said owners and occupants, ind did so enter on the said day of his deatii ; that the said owner and occupant Was a Widow and tlte prisoners her two sous, and that she hud no protector except her sons ; and that, being ordered off by the mother of the prisoners, the bald Berry refused to quit tiro said premises, then the prisoners, in obcdleriee to the wish of their said mother and as her agents, had the right to expel the said Berry from the said premises, and to use nil needful force for his expulsion; and if, by reason of his resistance to their efforts to expel him and to prevent great bodily hurm to themselves, it became necessary for their own protection to kill ldm, they were not hound to retreat as in ordinary cuses, and the killing 1m excusable, and the prisoners must be Acquitted. The following are the instructions prayed for by the United states : 1. If the jury believe from tho whole evidence that James Devlin gave to the deceased a fatal wound or wounds with i\ deadly weapon, and John Devlin was present aiding and abetting, and that tho defendants committed said homicide under auy provocation, howsoever great, yet if the jury shall further believe that there was sufficient time for the passion induced by said provocation to subside and for reason to interpose, such homicide is murder. 2. IThis is precisely like the above except that tho names of the nrisonem are trans nosed. 1 3. If the jury believe from the evidence that the dereused wus it married man at the time he pretended to enter into u marriage contract with the Muter of the defendants, such a fact is no legal justification or excuse for an assiilt upon the deceased, either with or without u deadly weapon. 4. If the jury believe from the whole evidence that either of the. defendants, under color of lighting upon equal terms, used from the lieginning of the contest with the deceased it deadly weapon, without the knowledge of the deceased, and killed the deceased witli such weapon, or if the jury believe that at the beginning of said contest either of said defendants was prepared witli a deadly weapon, so as to have the power of using it in the course of the combat, and did use it accordingly, and witli itkilled the deceased, then such defendant is guilty of murder. 5. if the jury lielieve from tho evidence that the deceased, at or about the time of the homicide, was committing a trespass against the properly of Mrs. Devlin, hut not against the dwelling-house, then such trespass is not,in law a sufficient provocation to warrant the owner or anybody else in using a deadly weapon, or in aiding and abetting such uso; nnd if a deadly weapon, under such circumstances, bo used, nnd the trespasser be killed by it, such otienco is murder, although the jury shall further believe that such killing was actually necessary to prevent tho trespass. 6. If the jury believe from tho whole evidence that the defendants intended to kill the decease!, or to do him some great bodily harm, which intention maybe inferred from tho weapon made use of, or from any other circumstance in proof, then such homicide is murder, notwithstanding the jury may believe that, at the time of the killing, the defendants had received a slight provocation. 7. If, from the evidence, the jury shall find that a sudden quarrel arose between the deceased and the prisoners?ntul that, on nn assault first committed by the deceased, blows passed between them ; and that, in the course of tire contest, after becoming lieuted therein, one of the Devlins, under the influence of such passion, killed tho deceased by stabs inflicted witli a knife: and that, tho other Devlin wan present, aiding and abetting in the commission of the killing, or acting in concert with his brother committing the killing??uch killing amounts to manslaughter, unless the jury shall further find that the party who inflicted the stabs gave them in self-defence, after retreating as far as ho could with safety to himself, and that, at the time of giving the stabs, he labored under a well-founded apprehension of great bodily harm. 8. If, from tiro evidence, the jury- shall find that one of the prisoners inflicted the stalm whereof the deceased, Thomas B. Berry," died, and that the other was aiding, abetting, and assisting thereat, it is immaterial which gave the blows, and both arc responsible; but if the jury shall further find that John Devlin, one of the pitsoners, gave the stabs, and at the time of giving the same was insane, still James Devlin, if he was present aiding and assisting, is responsible. it. To relievo the prisoner, John Devlin, froin the consequences of his nets in connexion with the homicide, of Thomas B. Berry, on the ground of insanity, the evidence must establish to the minds of the jury, beyond all reasonable doubt, that he was insane at the time of the commission thereof, and that the insanity was such as to deprive the prisoner of the use of reason as applied to the acts in question, and the knowledge that he was doing wrong in committing them. 10. If the jury believo from the whole evidence that a sudden quarrel arose between (he deceased and the prisoners, and that blows passed between them without any intention to kill or injure each other materially; and that, in the course of the scuffle, after the parties became heated by the contest, James Devlin killed the deceased with a deadly weapon, and that John Devlin was present aiding and abetting in such killing, or via verm, and that the deceased waB unarmed, then the said defendants are guilty of manslaughter. The above instructions were ably argued by the several counsel; and, subsequently, Mr. Bkadijcv, for the defence, prnyed for aii additional instruction, of which the reporter was unable to obtain a copy. Upon tho conclusion of the arguments, the lists of instructions were submitted to his honor, and tho court then adjourned. Tub Fourth or July at Gborgktown Commr.?We are indebted to Messrs. N. S.

The students of this eminently-popular institution never fail to do becoming honors to the various national holidays which carry us back to tho glorious days of our revolutionary struggle, and which it is so proper should ever be kept sacred and fresh in tho memory and hearts of the rising generation. In the selection of Charles B.

A short time ago, or at least since the "heated term" commenced, a company of 1 'fton vimnit ' were spending a short season with one of the city "bonlfacea," when the subject of hot weather came up, as it always does at tit is season, for discussion. The landlord said that his thermometer was up to 92? in the shade. This was doubted by some, and the "machine" was brought in. Before an examination took place, however, the landlord was called away for a moment, when a fun-loving gentleman present slipped a lump of ice around the bulb.
