PATAPSCO FEMALE INSTITUTE. MARYLAND
rPHF. TRUSTEES of the Patapseo Female
I. Institute announce to the public that the additional
buildings and improvements commenced by them a year ago
in accordance with the subjoined resolutions, are now com
plete. These improvements have not been made with a
view to increase the school, but for the greater conveni
ence and comfort of the usual number of pupils.
The new chapel is a handsome and most appropriate
structure. for the exclusive use of the inmates of the In
stitute, and in all its arrangements it is most cpmplete. It
is furnished with a new organ of line construction and ex
cellent tone.
The administration of Mr. Archer for the past year and
the present lias been attended with unprecedented suc-
C"ss, and the Trustees feel themselves fully justified in
recommending the Institute to the continued favor of the
Bouth.
it has pre-eminence in healthfulness. The pupils avoid
ing. on the one hand, the debilitating effects of a Southern
climate, and on the other the rigors of the North, have
few of the interruptions incident to both these climates.
It is sufficiently near to the city of Baltimore to enjoy the
benefits of a city without any of its evils.
As an Institution of learning it has the advantage of a
full organization, a resident chaplain, and a corps of ac- t
couiplished teachers and professors, called together from
time to time in the long experience of those having charge
of the Institute.
The Trustees of the Patapseo Female Institute, having
he n duly notified by Mrs. Lincoln Phelps of her intention
to resign her office of principal at the close of the present
school year, have elected Robert 11. Archer as her succes
sor. The eminent success of Mr. Archer in conducting for
many years a School for Voung Ladies in the city of Balti
more, entitles him to our confidence as a person peculiarly
qualified to maintain the present high standing, and insure
the permanent prosperity of the Institution; anil with this
view we are engaged in the erection of another building in
addition to the present extensive accommodations of the
Institute.

In introducing this HIGHLY AUTHENTICATED

These Engines are of four different sizes, two of them—
the two smaIIest—STRICTLY PORTABLE, and easily
hauled by four or six horses, according to the state of the
roads, being mounted on strong and substantial wheels.—
The latter Engines are adapted to all the purposes of the
plantation, as sawing, grinding, ginning of cotton, thresh
ing. kc. The two largest Engines are DETACHED; the
boilers, smoke stack, kc., being mounted on strong and
substantial wheels, can be removed anv where with a team
of 6or 8 horses. NO BRICK WORK IS REQUIRED TO PUT
THEM IN FULL OPERATION. One of the two smallest
Portable Engines is of 10 horse power, the other 5; both
are well adapted for the purposes before enumerated,
which should recommend them to planters and farmers, as
it is obviously their interest to have such labor saving
machinery on their plantations, and in their neighborhood,
as they are so arranged as to he exempt from all danger
of tire. The three Largest Engines can saw from 2.000 to
10.000 feet of lumber per day, according to its respective

the business world to the superiority of these Scales over
every other description of weighing machines in use. The

These scales Imve been subjected to the SEVEREST
TESTS on all the principal Railroads in the United States
and Eujl and, and in every branch of business throughout
tlie world, and their uniform accuracy and (,-reat durabili
tr. have gained for them the reputation of being THE
STANDARD FROM WHICH THERE CAN BE NO

four Exhibitions or the Maryland Institute, they have re
ceived the FIRST PREMIUMS.
In the case of O'Brien rs. Reese, in the Court of Common
Pleas (October, 1854) of Baltimore city, the learned Judge
declared, ill open Court, "that Fairbanlc't Scales being the

'•'lie LMowing particulars are from the letter of
tnu I mic special Bombay correspondent:
BOMBAY, March I:>.—l am afraid it is doubtful
\\hcther the extra mail of to-dav will reach Suez in
tone to be forwarded with the Calcutta mail of the
i'tii. I hope it may, for it carries to you the news
that Lueknow has fallen, or, at least, that one posi
tion of the enemy after another had been carried,
till nothing remains to them—if, indeed, it vet re
mains—but the north-western portion of the citv. in
which are no buildings of importance or strcn'i'th,
and that even from this quarter thev are 11 v ill'' in
multitudes. ' "
Our telegrams from the camp come down to the
morning of the 15th, three davs ago, and just seven
days later than those of which 1 gave you the sub
stance last week. ihen, YOU will remember, I
informed you that on the 3<l the armv moved from
the Alnnihagli and occupied thdDitkoosha park:
that the erection of batteries was at once com
menced to destroy the enemy's works on the canal
that (111 the 6th Outrani crossed the Goonite, below
the city, with 6.000 men and 30 guns, and took a
position in which, on the following day, he was
attacked hv and repulsed the enemy; that Brigadier
Franks had joined the camp on the 4th, amf that
Jung Baliadoor was to cross the Goomte at Sultan
pore about the 2d, and would he up with the com
mander-in-chief.
The proceedingson the subsequent days are known
to us compendiously by means of the telegraph.
I pon establishing himself on the further side of the
river Sir James Outram proceeded to force his wav
upwards, thus completely enfilading toe enemy's
line. The Begum's palace was stormed on the 11th
by the93d Highlanders,supported by the 42d, with the
loss of Captain Mac Donald killed, and about 100 j
other casualties. About 500 of the enemy fell at
this point. Simultaneously with this attack. Sir I
.Tames Outrain, on the further side of the river,
having forced his way upwards -through the low I
suburbs and over the "King's garden and other en-!
closures, occupied the stone bridge above the town, j
destroying another 500 of the enemy who held it. i
On the same or the following "day, the 12th,
the Commander-in-Chief pursued his advantage by
occupying the buildings in advance of the Begum's
palace. This movement brought him in front of
the strongest of the enemy's positions, the lmaum
barralt. On the 13th a sap was run up towards
the wall of this enclosure, and a breach having
been effected by the artillery, the place was a.C
saulted at 0 in the morning of the 14th. The
Imaumbarrah was carried, and our troops, press
ing close upon the flying enemy, entered the
Kaiserbagh, or King's I'alace, which Outram had
busily shelled, the last, I believe, of the formidable
positions of the enemy, and, after a hard light which
lasted all the remainder of the day, obtained com
plete occupation of it, capturing 22 guns. Then the
routed enemy began to fly from the city. Outram
crossed the iron bridge over the river and fell upon
tliem in their rear, the thunder of the chief's artil
lery still crashing upon their front and flanks. One
line of retreat lay open to them—that to the north
west, towards R'ohilcutid. On the 15th Sir Colin,
finding that the enemy were availing themselves
largely of this opening, dispatched after them at
two o'clock in the morning, a brigade of cavalry
and artillery, under Brigadier Campbell, who
moved to the left from his position in front of the
Alumhagh.
Sir Hope Grant, with 1000 sabres and two troops
of horse artillery, was sent out in co-operation, hut
on the north side oi the river, along the Seetaporc
road, which leads direct into Rohilcund, and a
heavy battery, with a brigade ofiinfantryy y were to
follow him on the 16th. He was to proceed as far
as Seetaporc, and there wait for orders. Such is
our latest news up to this moment. Our loss, von
will rejoice to hear, is telegraphed as " verv small."
As was anticipated, the Commander-in-Chief has
made chief use of his artillery, under the tremen
dous lire ot which the enemy's defences were crush
ed. and their courage and constancy gave way.
BOMBAY, March 24, Three P. M.—Lueknow fell
on the 10th. 11 guns were captured, and about
2.000 of the enemy were slain during the siege.—
Mrs. Orr and .lackson were rescued. Might
officers killed. The townspeople and villagers, be
ing protected, arc resuming their occupations. The
submission of the principal land owners has been
accepted. About fO.O'M) of the enesnv have escaped,
making for Rohilcund and Rundeknnd. The army
is in pursuit of the rebels. The delay of Sir li.
Rose s torce for three weeks at Saugor prevented
the line of troops intend d to intercept the enemv
li om being elo.-ed up. Sir 11. Rose, with the second
division of the Uajpootana field force, was within
twenty-live miles of dhansi on the 21st of March.
00.000 relwls are said to be in his front. General
Robert's force marched from Xusseerabad to Kotah
on the 10th and lltli. The distance is 120 miles.
The Calpee mutineers have taken the fort ol'Church
ard, and taken the Rajah prisoner. Whitelock's
force remains in charge of Saugor, the cavalry only"
having pushed on to Allahabad. Stuart's brigade
captured Chunduree on the 17th.
CHIXA.
lIONO KONG, Feb. 27.— The Chinese new year ho
lidays have passed over ouietlv, both here and at
Canton. At the latter place matters appear to be
proceeding satisfactorily, and the people in the city
and suburbs arc seemingly becoming more recon
ciled to the presence of foreigners. In the countrv
around Canton, however, the same hostile feeling
as formerly still exists against the foreigners. A
party of officers had gone into the country a short
distance were obliged to return, having been fired
upon bv some Chinese soldiers, and "braves."—
Trade is slow in being resumed,- and only one ves
sel has yet gone up to Whampoa. Consuls are now
established there.
_ Ihe Chinese show a willingness to commence bu
siness. The estimate now given of the quantity of
tea available at Canton is GO chops this season, some
of them line oopacks, for which '.'/J or 10 taels are
asked, and some 200 chops of the two last seasons,
the quality and condition of which are very ques
tionable. To the present time foreigners have shown
no disposition to make purchases. Lord Llgin has
returned to this place, and it is understood will pro
ceed north immediately. The representatives of the
other powers are to follow. There is a sanguine
feeling among many that the demands to be mode
by the representatives of the four powers will be
acceded to at once by the Emperor. We should be
glad to have any good ground to look for this result
to the expedition.
The China Mail of the 27th February contains the
following intelligence of interest: From Canton we
hear little worthy of credence that premises any
change in the condition of things one way or the
other. The Chinese are wondering as much as our
selves why "that Emperor no hap talkee." Some
of the better informed had made sure of hearing his
Majesty's views by the lPtli or 20th instant, and a
rumor prevailed last week of the approach of two
high commissioners. Their names were given, hut
we put no great faith in the report. As to popular
demonstrations, we hear of none. Braves are stated
to be gathering here and gathering there. The
allied garrison was to have been extirpated on
the 14th instant, the first of the Chinese year, hut
the only part of this formidable force that has as
yet shown itself is a body of some 200, that were
surprised a few days since, some way north of the
city, by a party of officers who had been out on an
excursion attended by a small escort. The later
were tired upon, but the only loss sustained was on
the side of the assailants. It is still believed that
the four pit nipotentiarics will proceed north next
month. We suppose, however, that the arrival of
an imperial commissioner, if one be indeed on his
way, would delay the proposed expedition. The
Mail also mentions that Mr. Anstey, the attorney
general at Hong Kong, was about to proceed to
Swatow, there to make inquiry in person as to cer
tain brutalities alleged to have been perpetrated
upon coolies by British subjects. Mr. Reed, the
Lnited States Minister to China, was adopting vig
orous measures to suppress the coolie traffic alto
gether, so far as American subjects were concerned,
lie had addressed a circular on the subject to the
American Consuls at the five ports.
The 0 cert and Friend of China, of the 27th Febru
ary. understands that all thought of a visit by the
English and French Ambassadors to IVkin, this
Year, is given up. A cargo of old tea was taken to
Macao, and a cargo of cassia to llnng Kong, ship
pers in both cases paying the duties; and it is pre
sumed that, for the future, or at all events till the
Emperor's pleasure is known, Canton stands a free
port.
THE PAPAL STATES.
A letter from Rome, i*i the Univcrx, contains the
following extraordinary tale :
In the cathedral of'Vclletri, near Rome, was an
image of the Virgin, nearly covered with gold, and
decked out with necklaces, rings and jewelry, and
it was held in great veneration by the people. In
the Iloly Week, it was, according to custom,
screened from view by a curtain, and, on Holy
Thursday, sonic person contrived to steal it. On
Good Friday, the archpii -t of the cathedral re
ceived a note thus conceived : "I, the undersigned,
know the thief, and the spot in which is deposited
the image of the Madonna, and I will make reve
lations on three conditions—immunity for myself,
the release of my brother, who is to he condemned
to death, and a pension of ten crowns a month—
VI:XDKTTA."
The arehpriest, having ascertained that the image
really had been abstracted, communicated the
strange epistle to the delegate, Monsignor (liordani.
Instead of s -king at once for the writer of the let
ter, tliis dignitary applied to Koine for orders, and
the Pope, fearing the total loss of the image, direct
ed that the lirst condition of the bandit should he
accepted, but that the other two should he rejected.
Vendetta, having learned this resolution, spread
among the people of Vnlletri the news t>f the robbe
ry of the image, which the clergy of the cathedral
had kept secret, and he wrote to the clergy that he
would b content with immunity for himself and with
500 crowns paid down.
On Saturday the people went ea masse to the
church, and waited with anxiety for the arrival of
that part of the service in which the crucifixes and
images arc uncovered; hut the veil which had cov
ered the image of the Madonna was not removed.
On Sunday the people again went to the church,
but as the image was not displayed they became
excited and murmured, and at length some of them
got on the altar and tore down the curtain. The
rumor was then spread by fri-'nds of Vendetta that
it was the Jesuits who had stolen the Madonna; and
the excited people, believing the falsehood, broke
into the convent occupied by the Jesuits, which is
adjacent to the cathedral, aud with cries of "La
Madonna nostra!" completely sacked it, and ill
treated the reverend fathers. Shortly after the
suffragan bishop ascended the pulpit and exhorted |
the people who remained in the church to be calm, ;
but they would not listen to him.
There is no garrison except ten or twelve vete
rans in the town, so that no opposition could be
made to the mob. When the bishop descended
from the pulpit a scarcely credible scene occurred :
the brigand Vindetta. armed with a poignard, as
cended it. and thus addressed the people : " lie pa
tient! The good fathers are innocent. It is I who
stole the Madonna. But 1 will only restore it when
the government, to whom I grant a delay till Mon
day evening, shall have consented to tile compact I
have proposed to it. Be calm, therefore, and shout
no more. I warn vou, in conclusion, that mv com
panions arc armed as well as I." What followed
that harangue we have not yet learned : but a dep
utation of the municipality and chapter of Velletri
have arrived here, and have had an interview with
the Pope. Orders have been issued to dispatch a
troop of gendarmes on horseback and a company of
Swiss infantry to Vclletri to establish order.
SPAIN.
A Madrid telegram of the Stli informs us that in
the sitting of the Congress the President of the
Council had formally declared that the rumors cur
rent as to the fusion between tlie two branches of
the royal family were unfounded, no project of the
kind existing either in Spain or abroad. Queen
Isabella, therefore, has evidently broken through
I IN- meshes of the conspirators who, hacked by the
king, have boon for some time endeavoring to ob
tain her consent to the fusion. The word "abroad."
inserted in the reply, refers to the belief prevailing
in Madrid that the "Countess Monti jo and her daugh
ter. the Empress of the French, have been busv
trying to win over the French government to the
fusion.
A Mad. id letter of the 7th instant informs us that
reports of a modification of the Ministry are cur
rent there. The formation of a Narvacz-Gonzales
liravo Ministry is spoken of. The reported Carlist
insurrection in Catalonia is contradicted. The spe
cial commission appointed to examine and report
on the law regulating the dress had nearly com
pleted its labors. All the amendments introduced
by the commission are favorable to the liberty of the
press.
i lie committee of the Cortes charged to examine
the hill on the press lias introduced into it amend
ments favorable to freedom of discussion. One pro
vision ol the hi!! states that attacks directed against
foreign sovereigns shall not be liable to prosecution
unless they apply to the sovereign of a country
where a similar law is in force.
ENGLAND.
THIAt, OF' 1111. BERNABD.
The_ trial of Dr. Simon Bernard, under a special
commission, for being an accessory before the fact
to the attempt ot Orsini and others to assassinate the
Emperor of the French, commenced on Friday last,
at the Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey, and has
continued each day, sans intermission, up to the
present moment. ' The verdict will probably he
given to-morrow.
It may be conceived that the trial has created
considerable interest, and that it has been the ab
sorbing topic of the week, almost to the exclusion
of every other. Lord Campbell, who is the Lord
Chief Justice, presided, and was supported bv Lord
( hiet Baron Bollock, Mr. Justice Erie, the Citv
Recorder, the Lord Mayor, and others of high
standing at the bar, or in the city of London. The
Lord Chief Justice addressed the grand jurv at con
siderable length, and they retired to consider the
evidence laid before them, and returned in the
course of the afternoon, with four hills/two charg
ing Dr. Bernard with being a principal in the mur
ders of persons named Nicholas Batti and Eugene
Rigour, the others charging him with being acces
sory before the lact to the commission of those
murders, and with conspiring to compass the death
of the Emperor Napoleon. The whole of the bills
were returned as true hills.
On Monday morning the court opened for the
actual commencement of the trial, the Lord Chief
Justice and Chief Baron with the other Judges at
tending as before. There was an imposing array
of counsel. For the prosecution were the Attor
ney General. (Sir Fitzrnv Kelly.) Mr. Macaulav,
Q. <".. Mr. Webby, Mr. Bodkin "and Mr. Clerk. For
Bernard were Mr. Edwin James, I). ('., Mr. J. Si
mon. an advocate with a great reputation at Liver
pool, but new to London, Mr. Hawkins, Mr. Slei'di
Mr. Briuvin and Mr. Scoble. The indictments
against the prisoner were for feloniously inciting,
moving, procuring, counselling, Ac., one FeliceOr
sini and others to commit certain felonies, i. e. to
kill and murder certain parties in France, and also
to kill and murder his Imperial Majesty Louis Napo
leon, Emperor of the French.
On being called upon to declare himself guilty or
not guilty, the prisoner, denying the jurisdiction of
the Court, refused to plead." This was the first im
portant legal point raised. The Court ordered a
plea of not guilty to be entered for him. And then
commenced a struggle for the jury. Jurors were
called anil successively challenged, either by the
crown or the counsel for the defence, and it was
nearly two hours before a jury was impanneled and
sworn; and after an application by Mr. .Limes for a
copy of the commission, the Attorney General
opened the case for the crown. The court was
crowded in every part, but a breathless silence was
observed on the commencement of the speech of
the Attorney General, who recapitulated at great
length, and with circumstantial minuteness, all the
evidence tending to connect the prisoner with the
charges in the indictment. At the close of his
speech, he referred to some legal points which the
opposite side would probably raise, but lie an
swered that he was quite prepared to reply to
them. Lord Campbell said, if any such should be
raised, they must be argued before the fifteen
judges. Then commenced the examination of wit
nesses. the number of whom may be guessed, when
it is known that four whole days have been occupied
in giving their evidence. Thev were composed of
French police agents, English" detectives, French
tradesmen or professionals, who witnessed the at
tempt at assassination, surgeons, manufacturers
ot fire-arms, English and French; the gun ma
ker who made the grenades; the chvmists who
sold the chemicals of which the fulminating
mercury was composed: the railway a fr ent
who sent pistols to Paris : railway clerks ;
passport agents and consuls: French and Belgian
cafe keepers and their wives; hired servants, inn
keepers, conveyancers, money changers, bankers,
clerks, ad infinitum, all helping to weave a chain of
evidence, as complete as circumstantial evidence
can ever hope to be, "against the prisoners. The
witness who excited most interest, was Rudio*s
wife. She gave her evidence on the latter part
of \\ ednesdav and early on Thursday morning.—
It has been consistent throughout, varying in no
important degree- from that she gave'before the
magistrate on the first investigation. Her evidence
goes to prove that Dr. Bernard engaged her hus
band to go to Paris, and that lie furnished her and
him with money, the real object for doing which,
she does not pretend to know. I had a long con
versation with her on Tuesday, when she gave me a
description of her parting interview with her hus
band. He gave to her all the money he had,
some S4O. and with that she had to en
counter the world with a young child to
support. She told me that she was very ill during
her journey, and she intimated, rather than said,
that she was more affected at separating from
her husband, than from his previous conduct to her,
she thought she should have been. There can be
no doubt that the purport of Dr. Bernard's visit to
her husband, and the object with which he em
ployed him. were unknown to her, and that she
went down at the request of Bernard, after her hus
band had left England, to Nottingham, wondering
what her husband could be occupied in at Paris
that should bring his name into the papers. Dr.
Bernard having cautioned her that if she saw her
husband's name in them, or heard it spoken about
by persons, not to take any notice. She says that
the police—especially Mr. Saunders—have been
very kind to her. and that she is better off, as she
now is, than she has been since she married Kudio.
She petitioned the Empress of France to save her
husband's life, and it is said by those who have
the best opportunities of know ing, that it was ow
ing to the intercession of the imperial lady that
Rudio was not decapitated. A young wife, pleading
for the life of the father of her infant child was a
case the Empress, tender-hearted as she is known to
be, was not likely to remain unaffected by, and her
influence would be used accordingly. It was used,
indeed, to the desired end: hut, after all, the result
is of small value to the poor young creature, as the
deportation of her husband for life will, save for the
sentiment, render the issue pretty much the same to
her, at least, though hardly to Rudio.
The case for the prosecution closed yesterday,
and Mr. Edwin James, Q. in reply to a question
from the Lord Chief Justice, said that he should
prefer the proceedings to be deferred until to
morrow (this day), as he had seventy witnesses to
produce; but, at the same time, he begged to lay
nine points of law before their lordships, which he
raised against these proceedings. They embodied
the following items : that the prisoner was not a
British subject, within the meaning of the act of
George IV., under which their lordships had the
special commission for trying him; that the
prisoner was not an accessory before the fact of
any murder, within the meaning of that act: that
there was no proof of any murder within the mean
ing of that act; that the murder committed was bv
aliens against aliens, and not by British subjects on
British subjects; that no evidence on the acts of the
prisoner, nor acts done under his direction, were
receivable here; that the principal offence of mur
der was not alleged in the indictment to have been
committed bv anv British subject; that Allsop's let
ter, dated Jan. l", 1557, was not properly received
as evidence against the prisoner; that the court
being authorized to try persons on the charge of
being accessories before the fact, they had no juris
diction to try the prisoner as principal on the charge
of murder ; "that the prisoner could not be tried for
an offence committed out of the Queen's dominions.
Lord Campbell, ignoring the pint of Allsop's
letter, which he said had been argued and held to
be admissible, stated that the opinion of the fifteen
judges would be taken upon all the rest before pro
nouncing judgment, if the verdict were unfavorable
to the prisoner; which, if anything is to be gath
ered from the conduct of a judge, Tie seemed to feel
pretty strongly assured would be the case. It is
believed that the verdict will be given to-morrow;
but there is Mr. James' speech in defence, seventy
witnesses to examine, the Attorney General to re
ply, Lord Campbell to charge, ami if this be all got
through by to-morrow night, they w ill—w ho are
concerned in it—do their work very briskly. An
adverse verdict is expected.
The fact is, the chain of evidence is very com
plete, and the greatest possible credit, without any
PRICE TWO CENTS
reference to the merits of the ease itself, is due to
->lr. Inspector Saunders, the chief of the detective
loree, f' or the remarkable perseverance and skill
w ltli which he has obtained and brought the evidence
to hear. °
Being well acquainted with all the circumstances
connected with it. 1 can speak with confidence as well
as authorityon this point as well as that not the slight
est advantage unlaw to the prisoner has been taken
to procure it all wide as are its ramifications.
As some proof of the energy displayed in getting
the evidence together, the Attorney General at th■
close ot the evidence of M. .losef Giorgi, on'Tuos
day atternoon, said that it would be necessary to
produce Giorgi's wife, but she was at the Cale
Susse, in Brussels. N'imparte— Mr. Saunders went
oft by train, and yesterday morning he was at the
Central Criminal Court, when it opened, with Mad
Kighenri in his company. Rather quick work
seeing that I was speaking with him 011 Tuesday
night, a little before eight o'clock. The sum that
this trial will cost will be enormous. Pending
the trial I have to chronicle the arrival of the Duke
of Malakoff, who arrived at Dover, with his suite
in the French screw corvette Le Corse. The mili
sary ambassador was received by the Mayor and
town council of the ancient city, and a careful ad
vantage was taken to express the abhorrence of
Mr. Mayor and his colleagues at the attempt at
assassination, on the 14th of January, and to beir
us excellency to disassociate the English people
from any wish to elevate assassination into a doc
trine, or any other feeling than indignation that
foreigners should be so ungrateful as to turn the
asylum afforded them to such base purposes.
The reception was one of unusual distinction, and
the Marshal was somewhat unprepared for it. He
appeared much pleased, hut he made 110 reference
whatever to the principal portion of the Mayor's
speech in his reply. He expressed his pleasure at
being so well received, a gratification which he
said was enhanced by finding so many old com
panions in the Crimea at the landing place to wel
come him. After partaking of some slight refresh
ment, he proceeded to London. There is a notion
prevalent that he will, inemj. , lie present to hear
the close of Bernard's trial. Such a proceeding is
111 the highest degree improbable; but should he"at
tempt it, lie would be certain to be recognized, and
1 fear his reception would be less flattering than
.that which attended him at Dover.— Cor. Philadel
phia North American.
It will be seen by a telegram since received, and
to be found in another column, that Bernard has
been acquitted.—Kus. DAILY EXCHANGE.

TRIAL OF TUCKERMAN, TIIF. MAIL ROBBER.
The April term of the United States Circuit Court
commenced on Tuesday, the Hon. Charles A. In
<*ersoll, tlie District Judge, officiating in place of
Justice Nelson, who was absent. The Grand Jury
was charged on Tuesday in relation to the mail rolj
bery case, and it proceeded to investigate the
charges against Adrial Phelps, ofGroton, who was
arrested for robbing the New London and S ton in < r
ton mail. The jury will probably be discharged
this morning.
'1 he case ot \\ illiam ,S. Tuckerman, charged with
numerous robberies of the United States mail in
November last, was opened yesterday afternoon.
W m. 1). Shipman, Esq., U. S. Attorney, appeared
for the prosecution, and Hon. E. K. Foster, and
Thomas Yeatman, Esq., for the defence. Tucker
man looked well, and seemed quite at his ease. He
took notes of the evidence with the same coolness
and unconcern which has characterised his whole
conduct.
As an illustration of his indifference, we are told
that some time ago he made a copy of the long in
dictment against himself, for the use of his counsel,
using for that purpose a copy borrowed from the
prosecution. He returned the copy, with a mar
ginal note of his own, calling the attention of the
District Attorney to one of the counts, in which
1 uckerman said there was an error which might
prove fatal to the prosecution, and he advised the
Attorney to correct it.
Tuckerman has been employed as a clerk and
book keeper of the county jail.since his arrest, and
seems to like tln* business.
The evide nee yesterday was only a repetition of
thf most uninteresting part of what was published
on his examination before-jhe Commissioner, and it
is not worth re-printing. It is the evidence of post
ollice clerks and others as to the mailing of letters
and the forwarding of the mails between Philadel
phia, New \ ork and Roston during the month of
November.
The Chicago papers question the validity of the
new Minnesota loan just voted upon by the people.
The Chicago Tribune produces a table of the debt
and population of the different States. The propor
tion ot debt to one person is 8.52 per cent, in Now
ork, and 8.56 per cent, in Pennsylvania; while
Minnesota, under the new loan, gives a proportion
of 28.86 per cent. Such an amount of monev, no
doubt, if properly applied to the development of a
State's resources, would rapidly reduce this per
centage; hut the step is looked upon as premature
in a legal point of view, as at the time the loan hill
passed the Legislature, Minnesota was not a State.
The dwelling house of Mr. William Sterrett,
some three miles above this place, was struck with
lightning this afternoon. The house was greatly
damaged; one ot the rafters was driven entirelV
through the building, the pendulum of the clock
was melted, and the mirror was broken into the
smallest fragments, and other damage was done to
the furniture. Mrs. Sterrett, child and servant
were in the house at the time. Mrs. Sterrett was
thrown from her chair and considerably stunned,
though not seriously injured. The child and ser
vant escaped with a slight shock.— Manon Countu

A young woman pretty and well dressed, leaped
from the dock at the foot of Lombard street wharf,
1 hiladelphia, about 9 o clock on Monday evening,
with the intention of committing suicide. Capt.
rorsyth, latcot the ship Diamond State, plunged in
after her and succeeded with some assistance in res
cuing her. The unfortunate girl is an American bv
birth, and said she regretted that her purpose had
been interfered with. She was taken to the Union
street Station House and properly cared for. She
represents herself as homeless and friendless.

An alllicting accident occurred at the Pennsyl
vania Anthracite Colliery, in Lackawanna town
ship, on Wednesday last. A German miner named
Joseph Bartlenger, was preparing a blast in the
coal, when by some means the powder was ignited
.and exploded, throwing the whole charge directly
into the man's face, completely destroying both
eyes, and otherwise injuring him so severely that
his life is despaired of.
The question of publishing a paper, to be called
the Baltimore Chrintian Advocate, as a conservative
Methodist organ on the subject of slavery, was in
troduced last week, at Charleston, Va., to the West
ern Virginia Conference. Rev. Mr. Phelps, of the
Baltimore Conference, pressed the importance of
sustaining such an enterprise, but a resolution was
adopted, nevertheless, leaving the members free to
support any of their papers, without particularly
endorsing any.
Commodore Joshua Sands, United States Naval
Commander of the steam-frigate Susquehanna, has
obtained temporary leave of absence. The Commo -
dore reached his home, at Stratford, Connecticut,
on the 24th ult., where, during the evening, the
young men, of the village turned out en wante, and
proceeded to his residence and welcomed him home
in the real fourth-of-July style, with cannon, salutes
and cheers.
At .an exhibition of .1 school, held at Alliance,
Ohio, on Friday evening last in the Town Hall, the
floor gave way, precipitating an audience of some
live hundred to the floor below. The piano was
broken to pieces, but, as by a miracle, the lady who
presided at it was not injured. A girl, thirteen or
fourteen years of age, was instantly killed, and onQ
other person has died since. A large number were
injured.
A steam fire engine has been completed at Law
rence, Mass., which throws a stream an inch and a
half in diameter over a roof of 100 feet high, and
throws the same stream 198 feet horizontally. Two
streams of one inch were thrown over the same
building and to a distance from the machine hori
zontally of 208 feet.
The Rev. Sullivan H. Weston was on the 14th

that corporation has furnished within the last six
years.
Mrs. T)u Rose, daughter of Senator Toombs, prior
to leaving Washington for her Southern home, on
Tuesday, was duly entertained at the residences of

The editor of the Richmond l)isi,atch has been
shown a specimen of gold ore, weighing 115 penny
weights, found on the land of John M. Aorville, Al
bemarle county. Mr. Fisher has resumed the work

doned some time ago, and is sanguine of a good
"crop."
Loefner, the Cincinnati murderer, whose sentence
has been commuted to imprisonment for life, is
greatly dissatisfied because he is not to be hung.
He expected, if any change were made in his sen

extreme or the other—liberty or death.
