W« this morning give by telegraph the fnHpro. ceeding. in the Sickle, trial, at Washlogten, terday. It will be «<»n that the prosecution ha* eloeed its testimony, aad that to-day Mr. draham for the defence, open, with a .peech, which i. to occupy three hours' time. A spirited di.cn.sion took place yesterday, caused by the refusal of the prosecution to call Messrs. Walker, Butterworlh and Wooldridge, as witnesses. THE SICKLES' TRIAL. THE EVIDENCE COMMENCED. [third DAY.j The evidence in the Sickles trial «ra. ccm« menccd on Thnrsdsy list. The Coart opened at 10 o'clock. The charge against Mr. Sickles was then read to the Jury by the clerk, the prisoner, meanwhile, staodiug up in the box. The indict ment whs then handed to Mr. Oald, the District Atlorney, who proceeded to address the jury : The indictment, he said,charged the prisoner with the murder of P. lUrton Key. lie shonld state brie-fly what the United Spates expected to prove in the case. He, (tho prisoner) as all present krew, was a Representative of the great commer cial emporium of the United States in Congress. Mr. 0. went on in eloquent terms to describe the noiiinerof the killiog of Mr. Key upon that beau tiiu! Sabbath evening, when the prisoner bad, with fnll preparation; came to that carnival of biood. Hk was a walking msgs'/.ine Had come prepared with all the varieties of the dread in struments of death, every one of which had its peculiar murderi us capabilities. Those instruments had been concealed from view in a convenient overcoat, on an inconvenU entl; hot day. The deceased interposed nothing, and had nothing to intorposebut a physical power which, when exercised in a moment of coolcess, was but futile—and eveu the piteous exclamation he uttered fell all unheeded from his lips. The evidence will show that not only was the deceased unarmed, hut that the ptisouer at the bar knew he was unarmed. He must have known it when firing the first shot, at the corner again, in firing the fata! shots, and again when he stood bravely over his victim, striving to scatter the brains of ! him on whom he had inflicted three vital wounds, and over whose eyes the film of death was already spreading. Mr. Onld then proceeded to read from Wharton, on homicide, page 194, to show what had to be considered by the jury in making their veidict. I The evidence would show that no matter how revengeful the fee'i-i"; might have been towards the deceased, a suffi :ient time elapset for that ; feeling to have materially abated He kuew not how so bloody a purpose could have been enter tained under such circumstances unless sustained by a remorseless revenge. Frantic entreaties, such as a mau would make for his life, snch as would have been made for an opportunity for explana tion, such perhaps as the recollection of the little ones ho had left behind him, were made by the deceased, yet the prisoner at the bar did not de fist from his bloody purpose. He was attempting to add mutilation to murder, wbeu he was arrest ed by the parties who subsequently bore his vic tim away. Mr.O. then proceeded to describe tothejury the crime of murder, aud cited the general principles which governed this court in such cases. Here Mr Ould read from Wharton on Homicide, page 38, iu which the law of homicide is clearly laid down. Also from the same, page 108, in relation 'o the Barae point, and also to show that the intent iu most instances, is to be drawn from the weapon used. Also from page 177, to show that when a mau fi'ids a man in adultery with bis wit>. and kills him, his crime is only manslaughter; but it he kill him snhstquently and deliberately, fewtn fetvenge, it is murder. Also from page 18'-'. to .how that when, after the discovery of the adultery, the mau enters intoauy difconrse or undertakes auy other description of business so as to allow time for his passion toabate, aud then kills the adulteier, be is guilty of inur* der. Also from page 197, to show that after he has got the party in his power, the repetition of a subsequent blow makes the crime murder. And from page 190, to show that if one has formed a purpose to kill a mau, and duly armed, meets him and kills him suddenly, the presumption it that the crime was committed on the previous de termination. The speaker wrnton to describe the rules by which the crime of murder is tested. They were not the rules of to-day, hut had come down to us from a source which gave fhetn immutability, while other portions of tho fabric of human prac tice had been changed. These rule, had become stronger by the pressure of centuries. These principles owed their strength and their veracity to God-fearing and man-loving humanity. Wnen ever they were perverted or warped, a blow was struck at both humanity and justice. These rules had been so well proven, that iaao» VAtion in its wildest moments had never yet allowed revenge as even justification or palliation for crime. They give to-day to Daniel K. Sickles not only au upright judge, but they also clothe.! htm iu spotless innocence until he be proven guilty. How soon ere the presumption of inno cence be supplanted for another, terrible to the prisoner, was for the jury to jadge. How soon the evidence would show express malice on the part of tho prisoner was for them alone to judge. Tney had been purged by the Court, and they were sworn to do justice by the prisouer; to find the fact aud not amend the law; nor had they any/ thing to do with the punishment which the law provided for crime. That rested alone with the Executive, who alcne could sheath tLe sword of justice or let it fall. The only issuo they had to try was that of the guilt of this party. Tho consequence of that finding were for the law. If it be legal for them to set the prisoner free, he said, let him go free free as the wind. If the contrary, he called upon them to smite red-handed violence wherever found, and show to the lour quarters of the lis tening world tbat there is still virtue left in a jury. Hero Mr.Ould closed his opening address to the jury, having spoken about 45 minutes. Judge Crawford stated tbat it bad been the practice in this court for tho defence to follow the prosecution iu opening, prior to entering upon the testimony. If the defence, however, prefer red to reserve their opening, they were entitled so to do. TESTIMONY OF JAME9 H. HEED. .Times If Reed was the first witness swore:— Was passing up on the 22dof February last, as he got up near Maduoa Place, walking leisurely, heard load talking: and saw two gentlemen on Gunneli's corner; they were from four to six feet spart, and soon one of the men raised his arm gradually and steadily, and witness saw a pistol; at first it appeared to have a direct aim at the corner of the house, but iu an instant witness saw it was aimed at the other man, who was try ing to avoid the aim; he fired and the parties moved forward some twenty fee'; when they got twenty feet from the first position, the man shot at retreated, the other following him and the former muring round a tree crying "murder," "murder,"''murder," and "don't shoot me." The mau with the pistol then snapped bis pistol and it did not go off; when in the middle of the street the man fired the second time. Just before the second fire, witness saw the man shot at throwsomethlng at the man with the pis tol, which passed through the air slowly and hit the man with the pistol, falling at his feet; just at that momeut the second shot was fired: the man shot at then cried something which witness did not distinctly hear, bnt the words "shoot me," or something like it occurred; the third shot was then fired,and the man shot at twisted round on the pavement and fell; tbeotherthen weniuptohim, and snapped several times within twoir three feet of his bead; at the first shot, the man shot at did not move more than two or three feet; after the first shot, the man with the pistol went some twenty feet westward, followed by the man shot at; then the mau shot at retreated, and the man with the pistol followed him back, when the man shot at got on tho corner and got behind a tree; the man with tho pistol snapped tho pistol at him. Mr Key camo ont from behind the tree at the moment the pistol was fired the secoud time; after tho second shot, the deceased gathered him self up and exclaimed that bo was shot and re* treated to the pavement; Key's back wti towards the man who fired wheub» letreated; when some thing waa thrown t>y deceased, the parties were some tea feet apart; tho mau shot was east and the mau with the pistol west: the third shot was fired after deceased reached the pavement and after be cried out murder; when deceased fell the man with the pistol not iu front of him and shot the third time while deceased was lying on the pave ment; wbeu the third shot was fired deceased critd "don't shoot;" between tho third shot and thesacceeding snapping of the pistol bnt t«o seconds elapsed; the next snapping followed mere rapidly; witness did not rhaoge his position all the time; was standing on the opposite side of the street, sooth of the parties, all the while, some 30 or 35 pace* off; Mr. Key fell tome ii or 30 feet from the lamp post on the ooroer. Cross examined by Brady.—Never saw Mr. Key bat once daring bis life; during the whole of the affair witness did not see the feature* of either party so as to recognise them; saw a man on the opposite side of Madison Place at the time of the first shot; don't know who he was; saw one other man go eastward towards Bigg* A Co.'s Bank alter second shot; don't know whether he had paused Madisou Place when the firing occurred or out 1 ; soon as the first shot was fired, saw parties run ning down from the direction of house; tfto mau going north through Madison Place could not nave seen the flrat shot; don't know Dndroy, nor Pawnor, nor Botterworth, nor Delafisld, uor Doyles that Is. has ac; quaintance with thorn; did'nt understand tho loud talking which he baard at first; is turning about, the man's hand, who bold tho pistol necessarily was <*«ooaM from »ls«; after tho lint flro Mr Key did sot advance and touch tho ait who hold tho pistol; dtd'nt seo Key lake Pickles by the coat or nock, nor did he ioo anything like what is tree from the corner of U " , v *® cond or 14 tmt from thia t«o. ho ® M > * bon ' 12 passed at fron| K whe« ra wit ,,OW,T, * Dd the »-cond .hot was •tmnltaueous tv. l *** l ; «»«; the first pari leg who ap^ch^ Ml, were those who bore hi* bodr ? ey witness mof Bleklas h« ..JT the last tquare after the ImTibot WekSTf 08 * r * nkUn •tree! and walked nnr»i>- le, ' urD *'<l »P the time tbat the last abot bad tak£!T ** the body of Key; there wM tL f ffect on th « la«t .hot. they were rapldl* mllS * fu>r tb * dl.taoca of Sickles to Key dSriog any tf thS 0 '' 6 " »«' «aa from twou, tL°.i £*."k?* »IM Rot DO nearer ihan u♦ »k. 1 .

Sickles fallowed Key np to the second tree from the corner: noticed the parties in the middle of the street after t'-e first shot; witness tnrned round and saw Mr. Key trying to get away from Mr. Sickles, and saying "don't shoot me, and dou't mnrder me." Cross examined hy Brsdy—Never knew Mr. Key btfTn didn't known his figure at ail; he was a total stranger to witness; didn't notice whether he had an overcoat on or not; had heard that bo was the man who roilea grey horse. [Here Mr Brady read from the Star the evidence of this witness before the coronet's inquest, to show a discrepancy betweeu a portion of that and the present testimony; whereupon the wit* ness denied the correctness of the report cf the evidence quoted by Mr B ] Witness resumed—X »a certain tbat Sickles came down on tbe east side of Madison Place: I saw persjns afcer first shot. Jos. Du iron testified—Tbat he was on the ave nue, and hearing a report of a pistol, looked around and saw Key jump a-ile and Sickles fire; Key then giabbud Sickles, who threw bim off and fired again; there was soon a third shot; I saw Sickles snap the pistol over Key's head: some one came npand he took hold of Sickles, who then said "my bed;"' that's all 1 beard. K:cbard M. Donner testified—Tiat he was on the square below, and heard two reports of a pis tol; he ran towards the parties and bea r d a third shot; be was going around the corner, when ho heard a snap, and thought that was near enough, and went back (Laughter.) Mr Ocld—Well, what did you do then? Wituess—l went tound the corner as soon as shooting ended—[renewed laugh er]—l saw Key dead aud heard prisoner say "damned scoundrel." I actually saw no shots; dou't know tho parties, thougti I had seeß Key before. Cyrus 11. McCormick, testified—That he resided iu the corner house where the tragedy occurred; his attention on that day w as attracted hy a report of a pistol; went to the window aDd saw two per« sons running, and remarkod "that there was a etr .'et fijht;" soon saw Sickles advancing towards Key. who was in the street, and fired at him; Mr. Key theu went in the direction of a largo tree,and while he was behind the tree. Sickles cnrf)« up and Key fell iuto the gntter, and Sickles fired at bitu again; thore way bavo been a snap of the pistol, but I did not hear it or see it; have uo recollection how tho parties stood until I saw them in the street, when Sickles fired: I was iu the second story window of the house aud third wi'udowfrom the avenue—l mean the parlor floors of tho house; there is a basement level with the street Mr. Uald—No further questions, Mr. McCormick —you can retire. kdward N. lidhall testified—That he was going out of 'be Club House, and *h\v Mr. Key on the aud Mr. Sickles standing over bim with a pistol, aud snapped it; I went down, and think I touched Mr. Sickles, and he remarked loud and repeatedly that be (Key) had "dishonored, d« filed or Violate ! his bed;" he then walked off with Mr. lSutterwonh: beard Key cry murder, when about six feel from hini; Mr. Sickles bad on an overcoat HS I saw him when he walked away wi.h Mr. Butterworth; it was quite a warm day: the trage* dy happened just a few moments before 2 o'clock. By Brady—l bad on au overcoat that day; I saw a pistol lying on tbe ground as I was passing for the physician: I think it was a single bareiled pistol, but I could not tell, as I was running. At this point, it being 3 o'clock, ttie Court ad* journed until to«morrow. In a few moments tbe prisoner was remanded to jail, and the im.'iiense crowd, greater than on any other day, dispersed. The jury are all quartered at the National Hotel. I Mr. Bigioli, the father of Mrs. Sickles, denies the rumor which asserted that Mrs. Sickles was iu Washington. In a note to Ibe editor of the Star, be lays: "My daughter, Mrs. Sickles, is not in Washing ton, and has not been since she left her husbaud's house alter the unfortunate event already too well known, fche is with her mother, and under my protection at my residence in New York city; and hi she is to remain there, I trust that her nam# will not be needlessly brought before the public. , "A.ntokio Bagholi. "VVasnmgton, April 7, 1859 » FOURTH DAY—FRIDAY. [RfPORTED 6PICIALI.T ItT TELEGRAPH FOR THE BICH" MOND DISPATCH.] Washington, April B.—The Court room was erowdod early this morning. The father of Mr. Sickles, accompanied by Csevalier Wikoff aad Mr. Bsgioli, lather of Mis. S. .Jadge Z Collins Lee,of Maryland, was seated by Judge Crawford. The prisoner w»3 brought in at half past 10 o'clock. Tbe case was resumed by calliDg for E. Pendle ton, a wituess for the prosecution, who was ab« sent. Mr. Ould remarked"This is a very importan eye witness, perhaps tbe only one I will examine directly, aad as the witnesses brother reports bim slightly ill, I would like to know the nature and exteut of his illness. I do not wish to force the wituess, if ill, but hope tbe Government would not loose the benefit of bis testimony; I think an attachment out to be is«ued to flad bis condition." Here a bailiff came into court and said the witness was in bed when subpasued. Ihe Judge said the witness had been in Oonrt since the ease commenced, and concurred in the sucgeetion by Mr Carlisle, for the prosecution, that a physician's certificate bo obtained. A bailiff was difpatchod for tbat purpose. The coroner, Thomas Woodward, was then called to the stand and testified: Tbat be beld an inquest over the body of Mr. Key On tbat occasion a pistol was given to hlro! exhibited the pistol which he bad ro. ceived, and stated it was given to bim by Mr. Don ner, and that it was in the same condition then as now ] Witness examined the body and clothes of deceased. Tho clotbos wero in conrt, if any de sired to see them. Exhibited two keys, |U iu specie and an opera glass case, which he said be f Hind on person of deceased. Cjuld not soy whe ther opera glass case was open or sbnt when fouud. Also exhibited a linen pocket handkerchief, which be had taken from oueofthe pockets of tbeclotbes. The deceased was wounded on cue aide, which side witness forgets. Another wound was in thegroiu, and a alight bruise on one hand. Theclotbee were exhibited by wituess, showing tho bloody shirt, grey striped panta, which were also saturated with blood aud had a hole in the right leg where the ball entered. Witness had examined thereat bnt did not have it with him. A messenger was sent for the vest, who not returning immediately, tba witness said he could get the article, and left the stand for that pnrpose. A moment afterward* he returned, stating that the coat and vest were not here, bnt the physician conid give the information required by the District Attorney, aa to them. Mr. Ould inquired if the coroner saw any evi dence of penetration in the veat. Mr. Sun ton objected to the question, and asked for the clothes. In the meantime tba hat, coat, vest, socks, •hoes and drawers of tba decsaaad ware brought into court. Mr. Woodward held np the vest and showed where the balls entered, one in the right side of the breast sod one on tba left. air. Ould, to the jnry—-''l suppose yon caa saa thaae marks, gentleman." The vast was handed to the jury aid attentively examined. Woodward next showed tta court, pointing to the place in tba breast. where tba ban entered.— Tba coat ?u a raddlah bravo cbe.k sack, of coarao texture. Mr. On Id here coaclnded th* examinatioe vttfe reference to tb« cjothes Mr. Brady, for th. defence, aaked if th. coroner j found a handkerchief oa the per.on of the de~ ' ceaeed. The coroner here produced • •mall white one, with a colored border, wbicb he Mid be foand on tbe body. The exhibition of tbe handkerchief cnutod ranch sensation, every spectator anxious to get • glimpse of it. Mr. titanton banded the coat and handkerchief o Brady. Woodward continued—Tbero were three pocket jo the pants and four in the Tr»t; found no letter in them; fjur.d in tfce breaches' pocket a bunch o •mall keys; rlt'j not remember distinctly wh-thei ,f ce ** ed bad bis coat on when he flrat saw blm ir * ( ' lnb How; think* the coat In conrt was the one worn by Key.

The District Attorney asked witness what was tbe relaiivo position of the earties, iu his ooiuion, as a man cf science and an expert. Mr. Stanton objected to this question. Mr. Oald contended that, in his opinion, a man or expertcould be calied on for his opinion ousuch a poiut. Mr. Brady said tbat was a point for the jury to determine It was not for a physician to give bis opinion iu relation to tbe position of parties, found* ed on bis knowledge of the location of the vital or gans. Alter giving his testimony according to the fixed and established rules, it was for tbe jury to determiue what was the relative position ot tbe parties. After further discussion, the court decided that the question put by tho District Attorney was a competent one. Br. Coolidga resumed—ln his opinion, as an ex pert, Key must have been iying in a semi-recum» bent p> sitiou when the wonud produced by the last ehot, was made, which wounded the kidne> aud the liver. Was an assistant surgeon in the army, and fami iar with gun-shot wounds. Was present when tbe ball was cut out. Cut it out hitn3elf. [tho ball was prodoced.j Ho believed it was tbe same ball. A mark was placed on it at the time. By the District Attorney—To what kind of fire arms do you suppose such a ball belongs? Mr Siauton—l object to this question. Because the gentleman is a surgeon in the army, it is no reason why be should ba an expert ia the inanu' ficture of fire-arms. D strict Attorney—lf the surgeon did not in frm hiraseif on euch subjects, he did not dis charge his duty. Mr Brady—lie can discharge his duty witliou' discharging fire arms. Cross-Examined ky Brady—l saw Key before be breathed his Ust. Heard the report of a pistol, came to the Club Hnuae ami found Key with sev eral persons around bim. Took an opera glass case from the left band pocket of his CL>at. lie lievo ih*t tbe case was abut. Everything taken from K>y's person was handed to tbe Coroner; knew no method by which scientific men conki infallibly determine that abrasion is produced by abnllet from a gun or pistol, judging from the wound alorje; if lie had bem called to Koy after his decease, nnd bad seen no other wound than tbe Abrasion referred to, ho would judge that d.:ath bad been produeod by a ballet. There is no law which governs the c >urse ot a ball wiiich enters the body; it could only be determiaed by subsequent examination. Tho witness was verV minutely questioned by Brady in reference to certain tacts and principles of a general nature, bavins a bearing on toe nature ot the wound received by Kny after bo had fallen to the ground Dr. 11 N. Stoiie called—Stated tho result of tbe first examination of the body at the Club Ilocte. As he was associated with Dr. Coolidge in both that examination and the one wbicb took place at the inquest, his evideuce was very brief, and differed very slightly from that physician. At this point the jury took a recess of an hour. Charles Winder called.—Testified that every thing was taken from Key's pocket whon he was stripped. There was an opera glass case, some keys, looce money, sleeve buttons and a ring. They were taken by Ogle Taylor, a relative of the de ceased. Mr. Ould opposed the admission of the Derrirger pistol, which had been presented in court, also the ball, as part of the evidence. He stated bis grounds. Mr. Brady—Would make no question that the deceased came to bis death by tbe wounds de scribed by the ptiys cians, but as to this pistol, it whs picked up and handed to tbe coroner in the Club House. No one had seen it fired or used. It could not be regarded as falling within tbe rule of resgestx. Mr. Ould contended that tbe evidence din. olosed that the pistol bad been picked up on the identical spot occupied by tbe prisoner where be fired tbe shots. The Court said that this pistol having been found near the place where the mortal wound was inflicted, acd the ball also, was a part of the whole transaction; and, in bis opinion, both of them should be before the jury. Mr Ou'd here ttuted that the United States had concluded its testimony in chief. Mr Katcliffe stated that tbe defence proposed to ask the Court that tbe District Attorney should call certain witnesses, among them Messrs But terwortb, Wooldridge, and Robert J. Walker, as government witnesses. If be, Katcliffe, were prosecuting attorney, be should conceive it was bis duty to place every honest man on tbe stand; be would disclose any facts appertaining to the matter nuder investigation. The defence wanted an opportunity to cross examine them.— He alluded to tbe fact tbatihe Court, on a former eccasion, in a similar case, bad decided witnesses should be called He supposed Mr Ould knew Wooldridge and Walker were before the OraujJ Jury. Mr. Oo!d spiritedly replied that he did not know it. He said if Mr. KitciifTe tho District Attorney should go nosing about the Grand Jury room, to ascertain what particular witnesses bad appoarod thore, be knew nioro than he (Ould) did, or over desired to know. He, hs District Attorney, should certainly never go to Mr. Rateliflhfor in formation on this or auyotber matter. He wonld choose bii own counsellor. He should state that bo did not summon Bntterworth to go before tba Grand Jury for reasons which he had not dis closed, and should not disclose hereafter. Mr. Magruder entered a legal nrgumeut to show thnt it was considered the duty of the Government to snmtnou all tho eye«witue*ses to the transact tino. It was necessary to the ends of justice. It wai in evidenca that Butterwortb was present at the killing, and wby was be not called ? The Gov. ornment did not stand here to call for a victim, and convert this temple of justice into a place of sacrifice. Can it be denied that IVo"ldridge wa« regarded as a witness for the United Bute< ? Klse why was be before the Grand Jury? He quoted from authorities to show that the* wit» nessea could and might be summoned. Mr. Carlisle, for tba prosecution, opposed Mr. Katcliffe's motion He asked who is Butterwortb? and answered by giving a history of bis associa* Hon with the prisoner at the killing of Key. Bnt terworth bad not on oath charged Sickles with the murder. By way of illustration, ha put tba caw of a man taken is the act of standing over the body of hi* victim, his confederate by bta aide. He merely supposed such a case, that the United States should be hopelessly wedded to this wit ness. Would not the common sense of the coort overrule a motion to sammoo Butter worth, Walk er and Wooldridge, saying the sttdavit on which Sickles was committed was a friendly act,probably done to prevent any thorough investigation at the time. Wooldridga and Walker were not present at the shooting. Mr. Brady said ha understood the United States had got through ita evidence la chief, and sup posed that sow of eooree it would ia future be *3i)fined to rebutting proof. The oe«rt aacwered that that was so, and ad journed. Mr. Graham opens for Mm defence to-ssorrow, »ill probably oocapy th—e er foar here. OBM PLAJBT K&B.—Tfc« best *a 4 yrteaorty tM.

One of tbe animals died in a few minutes bnt the other spraag to his feet, rushed into a store near by, frightened the merchant, drove off the customers, upset the show boxes, and kicked up such » terrible muss, that he was soon after hr ockedon the bead aud shipped for dog heaven On euquiry, we ascertained that someone hsd been distributing strychnine to stray curs, and that the two auimalsalluded to bad devoured large por tions of the poisoned bait. Tbe distribution of poison is a higb misdemeanor, punishable by fine and imprisonment. Whether tbe offender,in this instance, will be called before the Mayor to an swer, remains to be seen. Dogs are a great nul» sance about the market places, aud will always continue to be, until oetrnen are stationed there to catch them. If this were done, the nuisance could readily be abated.

Tbe Philadelphia papers of Thursday contalo tbe conclusion of the fugitive slave examloa lon, before Cornmi ssioner Loi grtreth We give a per tloaof the account froui the Ledger; About hatf-paat 12 o'clock, Thursday, Mr. Brewster c mmenced to sum np for the Claimants! He reviewed i he evidence on both aldea, an 4 urged that tbe detence should hovo produced soma wlt« ueaaea from lUrrlsbur((, white mtn, who had cm. ployed Daniel, to corroborate tbe testiui py of Jonoa and Bmith. The weight of the evldsMe was, in his judgment, clearly on the s.de of the claimant. Mr. B spoke about an hour. Mr. karle replied to Mr. B , denouncing tbe fu-. aitive slave law and tbe inhumanity of Have holders. He reßd Irom • ne*»p«p«r a bill alleir»-d tote passed by the Slate ot Aikanfa*. orderln® all tree negroes to leave the Siate under peoalty of being sold for slaves, nnd said a similar law exist- din \ irginia He appealed earnestly to tho C.irnmis-ioner to show mercy. When Mr. Earle concluded ebont a o'elock In the morning, a stir waaoccasioued by the colored witness, Rev. Mr. Smith, getting up »o leave tbe room. On passing by Mr. Brewster, he uisde SLine offensive remark to thai g»utletu*u, who in siautiy called tbe attention of tfca Coamlsefouar to tbe matter. The Commissioner told Smith be muit keep quiet or go out. gniitb turned to wards Mr. Brewster, as if to bold a parley when he whs taken bold of by each arm by two "■arshaPs deputies, who accompauied him to the door. Mr. Pierce oo behalf of the prisoner, spoke folly two hours, when the heavy snoring of two or tbreu uoconcious individuals in the northeast comer of (he room, caused him to coma to a full mp ami request the Commisbloncr to send an i fficer to awaken the sleepers Mr. P. remarked, aood bo. roomily,>'l am alraid I'm disturbing tbe sluui* hers ot my learned friend on the other aide," au uding to Mr. Brewster, who appeared also to he iudnlging in a good nap. Mr Brewster, drtly.aod starting op suddenly— "Oh, on, yon don't disturb me io the leajt."— 1 laughter.] The Commissioner here rapped enersreti«ally fill all the sleepers were aronsed, when Mr P. pro» c tie (led and finished bis spaecb, at 26 minutes past 5 o'clock io the morning. As the day dawned, tbe veuerable Lncretia Mott, who never quitted tier s ,- at till the close,» jaculated in a low tone—"Beo the sua rising upon (his wicked » eue." .Mr. Brewster, in rising to make bis closing s ptceb, said the boor aimotisbed bin to be brtel. He rapidly reviewed theargamoots of tbe opposing counsel, stating that they had filled to make oat their case, nud had merely occupied the time In making itinerations of the iniquity of slavery .for outside effect, without attempting to itnpcacft the evidence for the claitcaot. Alluding to tbe outside clamor, he said warmly, tbat he had received an .■im.nj moos letter, taunting bim with a personal deformity, with which he had boen afflicted since childhood—he characterised the authors »t the letter as cowardly brutes, who would oot dare to Jo such thing* over their own proper name*, fur fear of the just aud lawful pauisbment which av ailed them—he would not be deterred from do« irg his duty to bis clients by these dastardly acta, and would undertake another case of the lane kind to-morrow, if it offered. Iu conclusion, he begged the CctEmissioner to weigh tbe evidence well, aad if he thought tbe identity of Danger* field was clearly established, then let htm he re minded to bis owner; but, if the CommUsioner bad any doubt of Daniel's being tbe flare of Mrs. Simpson, then, in God's name, release him aod let him go free. The Commissioner, throughout, heard the coun sel with patience, and allowed the widest latitude of debate, without restriction. Having been en» gaged, without intermission for fourteen hours; he said be regretted be would oot be able to finish ihe case before adjourning; be should prefer to give his decision this morning, after A short recess; but on reflection, be desired time to examine lha testimony, to arrive at a correct conclusion, and, with tbe consent of couusel on either side, *dj 'lim ed the case till 4 o'clock, In the aftern>>on. Thus ended one of the most protracted court sessions ever held in this city. During the whole time, and until tbo close, tbe room was crowded with 300 or 400 people. About twenty live or thirty were females, principally of the 8 ciety cf Friends, who remained until the adjournment, aod seemed to take a deep interest in tbe prcc->cdlnf*. A considerable crowd of persons remained outside the wbole night, watching the halloing. ami' us y *«Mnir eveiy one who came ont how tbe case had terminated. Ai four o'clock yesterday afternoon the Com missioner gave his decision. He commenced by expressing bis regret at tbe conduct for the ooou sel fjr the prisoner, who bad not ac'ed with that f i-ness due to his office. There mo-'o' f conduct ing tbe case bad surprised him, and he was (Mined that they should have thought for one moment that he could be influenced by appeals to his feel ing*. Ill* was a plain duty be was to perform, under the law, which clothed him with tbe pow ers of a Commissioner. Tbe only question left open to the Commissioner is tbe question of identity, and as be considered it his duty to b«satisfied »• that point he bad allowed the counsel c<-esi<ierabte latitude. The last time the alleged fugitive WM s*«n iu Virginia .according to Patton, was In July, HM wbile tbe record Axes tbe time of escape Ita November, 1854; this latter date woaid be adopt as tbe most likely to be correct. The witnesses for tbe claimant whose testimony made tbe most vivid Impression, was that of Dr. Locket and Sanford 8- Rogers Tbmr testimony was clear, conclusive, in no wise shaken by cross examination, as to tbe fact of their Mi>/tbat its prisoner is tbe fugitive Daniel Daogei field- "I say belief, because the porsooal Identity of olbsrs is not ltkeourownsensetlous,asobjeetof absolute knowledge Dr. Lueket baa not seen bias fine* 1862, Mr. Rogers not sine* 1*63 If th« Bom» credible witness, whose uirnunmi and testimony would necessarily Inspire belief, testifies In tbw rise to an acquaintance with the prisoner in Penn sylvania, or rather ont cf Londonn county, Va , extending from a time preceding the time of Das'l Dsngerheld's escape, In the month of November. Iti'iA, down to tbe present tijne, hts belief, a* founded upon more reliable grounds, won Id, to By mind, be entitled to thnch weight, even against tbe testimony of all tbe witnesses fbr the claim' ant." Considering tbo testimony of Wm.
