SEVENTH DAY.Judge Ajlwfu\u2019s Cltarge to the Jury, (Reported for the Montreal Herald.) Fridat, October 14, 1859.The Court opened this morning at ten o\u2019clock.Mr.Johnson, Q.C., rose, and, in a speech of upwards of an hour and a half, addressed the jury on the part of the prosecution.Dr.Malhiot, St.Hyacinthe, was called up by the Crown, to speak as to the character of the informer, Lusignaa, whose testimony and credibility, the defence had attempted to impeach.The witness said he knew Lusignan for three years.His general reputation was that of a drunkard, still the witness never knew him, in his capacity of magistrate, to be guilty of anything that would throw discredit on his statements.To Mr.Carter\u2014i heWr knJvVTnSl Lusignan made his living as an informer.Victor Coté was also brought up to speak as to the character of Lusignan.\u2014In the present case he would believe the testimony of Lusignan .- To Mr.Carter.\u2014I never heard it said that Lusignan kept a disorderly house.Ludgard Page, Chief of Police, St.Hyacinthe, stated that Lusignan was a drunkard by reputation ; but witness never knew him to swear falsely.Felix Fontaine, policeman, St.Hyacinthe, corroborated the evidence of Page.Charles Starnes was examined, and stated that he would believe Lusignan on oath ; and that his principal fault was drunkenness.Hon.Mr.Dessaules stated that Lnsignan was a drunkard, but perfectly reliable upon oath.This witness would believe him sooner than some whom he had heard swear as to Lu-signan\u2019s want of veracity.The evidence in rebuttal of the testimony against Lusignan\u2019s character having closed, Mr.Carter rose and commented upon the nature of the testimony offered in rebuttal.Mr.Drummond then followed in French.The case here closed.Judge Aylwin at one o'clock began to address the Jury in French.The address lasted till three, when he began and continued till after five in English.Be said^\u2014 Gentlemen of the Jury.\u2014I have now to state to you what I have already said in another language, that this case has occupied more time than any criminal case which has ever come under my knowledge.A very large number of witnesses have .been examined, and a great many things said to you more or less connected with the case, and I certainly concur in the observation made by the counsel for the crown that, though the number of witnesses has been great, the number of facts has been few.You, gentlemen, have been confined during the whole of 7 or rather 8 days in this Court, but you will console yourselves for the fact by the consideration that it is impossible for men to do others a greater service than to investigate thoroughly every accusation of murder.Any case which may be laid before a Court of Justice may be possessed of more or less importance, but in a case like the present involving the discovery of the death of one man and affecting the life of another, your time, however precious, is not wasted in the investigation of all the details.You will observe that in your capacity of Jurymen you owe a duty to Society,\u2019aifd to the protection of its members as well, as to your own protection ; and it is one of the blessings of civilized society to enjoy protection for life, limb and property.Of course, then, gentlemen, situated as you are, you have no right to complain on the ground of detention, for you are rendering to the community that which at any time you,yourselves, have a right to expect and demand.You sit thero to decide upon the death of a fellow creature ; ano.by the law of this country tbe richest man or the poorest pauper are equally entitled, when protection to life is concerned, to the same rights and the same attention ;\u2014and the law knows no difference between the case of an infant who has just breathed the breath of life and the case of an old man tottering upon the grave.I must now remark, gentlemen, on some observations which, as, they then appeared to me, were speculative points totally outside the case.When we are in courts of justice we cannot speculate on what the law ought to be.We are bound to render the law of the land as we find it; and not to change it or alter it in any way.You are to render a true verdict according to the evidence, and not upon speculative points of any kind whatever.The law of the land says that the man who is charged with the crime of murder and found guilty shall be put to death.This is the law and we are bound to accept it.Such, then, ijeing the case, all the observations which have been made to the effect that recently -recommendations to mercy have been slighted by the Executive Government in which the Queen\u2019s prerogative of mercy is reposed\u2014a prerogative glorious above all others\u2014Such observations I repeat, do not enter into the question you have to try.Yon have enough to do in the proper discharge of your duties, without attempting to criticise the duties of others.It is not for us to judge of that matter one way or the other.I can only say, for myself, that I felt it was high time\u2014that there was an absolute necessity\u2014for society to.resort to the extreme, punishment of the law in order to protect itself; \u2014had it not done so, we might soon expect to see murders committed with absolute impunity.Having said so much, gentlemen, 1 may state, in broaching this case that the facts you have to deal with are not very numerous ;\u2014and that the case can be easily enough set before you.To begin, then\u2014 On Saturday, the second of April last, the deceased Anselme Charron, residing at the parish of St.Charles, distance about two leagues and a half from the town of St.Hyacinthe, a rich farmer, and a man dealing largely in threshing machines, left his home to reach St.Hyacinthe.A little boy, a nephew of his, was brought up before the Court, and he said that, on tbe morning of that day, he saw the deceased dressing in his room apart.That before leaving the room he saw his uncle go to a small box, in.which he was in the habit of keeping his money, and take out two rolls of paper money, which he showed to the boy as he was in the habit of doing, in order to instruct him in the value of bank notes.This statè-ment has been drawn into doubt, and it has been said that the boy came here to swear what others had told him.It has been said there was a kind of contradiction between the boy and his aunt, who stated she had not seen the deceased, on that morning, put any money into his pocket.But she also said, the door of the deceased\u2019s room was shut ; and that the deceased and her family occupied separate parts of the house.And, besides this, it is very reasonable to suppose that a respectable, married woman would not go into the room of any man while he was dressing.But no matter about these, the fact is that he left his home about 9 o\u2019clock on Saturday morning, with his horse and cart\u2014the distance from St.Hyacinthe being about two and a half leagues.The first knowledge you have of his arrival there is, that he was seen in tbe forepart of the day, in that place, drinking in a tavern.He has begun to drink very early.But with whom?Was it with the prisoner ?You have evidence to show that, on Saturday, the 2dof April, the deceased, while in St.Hyacinthe, had occasion to leave Ducharme\u2019s tavern where he was first seen, to go to a tavern kept by aman named Guertin; and, in the latter place, the prisoner is found kneeling by the deceased, who was lying on a sofa, and both in close conversation.A man who owed the deceased 25 dollars, saw him on the sofa and the prisoner kneeling on the ground beside him, The debtor .asked the deceased if he were prepared to receive the money now, or if he wanted any.u Yes,\u201d said the deceased.After this answer the debtor goes to his own house, takes $25, part in notes and part in hard money, and returns to the tavern.It appeared the deceased could not receive the money then, but he goes to another tavern and there the payment is effected.There were, composing these $25, ten in notes and.the remainder in quarter dollars.The prisoner at the bar has full knowledge of this payment, and has full knowledge that the deceased was aman who was well off .and.possessed of money.After getting this money the deceased goes to a third tavern, kept by a man named Laflamme.Here he asks for some more drink, and here the prisoner is found again.Among other places the deceased visited that day was the house of a man named Ewing, who also was his debtor.Ewing pays him $45 in bank notes and quarter dollars.With respect to these notes, it must be remarked that two of them were American\u2014one on the Derby Bank, and another belonging to a bank on the lines between this and the U* S.;\u2014and both were notes not in general circulation in St.Hyacinthe.This occurred about two or three o\u2019clock in the afternoon.But, before this time the deceased fell in with another of his customers, whom he agreed to meet at night at Laflamme\u2019s tavern to conclude a bargain about the sale of ten or twelve threshing ma- j chines.This tavern was the place at which | the deceased usually transacted business.But about half-past seven, or bordering on eight 0\tclock, the deceased was found at Ewing\u2019s house taking tea.He leaves, shortly before eight, stating, however, that his intention was to go to a place about a mile and a half from fet.Hyacinthe to see about making a bargain.\\\\ hether he went there or not remains in doubt, there is nothing to show he went; and a great deal to show he did not.About eight o\u2019clock, however, the party whom the deceased had appointed to meet at Laflamme\u2019s saw him stand- 1\tJJ J af- the door of another tavern.Deceased then said to him\u2014\u201cSuppose we go to Guertin\u2019s tavern and have a steak and some oysters.\u201d The other agrees: there they go and are supplied with their meal.At its conclusion the deceased asked liquor.The tavern-keeper replied that he was already under the influence of liquor, and should get no more.Upon this the prisoner, who had managed to get into the room, says to the tavern-keeper\u2014\u201c Supposing he does not drink there are others here who can.\u201d \u201cNo,\u201d says the tavern-keeper, \u201cmy rule is, when a man calls for a treat and is not able to drink his share of it, I give no liquor to him nor any in his company.\u201d It however, that liquor was taken, but none by the deceased.Now, we have traced the prisoner and the deceased through two taverns, and we also find again that the prisoner asked some persons to drink.On refusing, the prisoner said\u2014\u201c Don\u2019t be alarmed ; dont\u2019t think I am going to pay ; my friend Charron will do that.\u201d He knows that Oharron has got a sum of money ; and it is evident such is the case, because Charron does actually pay for the liquor which is supplied.The prisoner is found, late in the evening, in compacy with the deceased, in Lafiamme\u2019s tavern.Whether they did or did notdrink is not very well established, but it is established, beyond the possibility of a doubt, that the prisoner left Laflamme\u2019s along with the deceased.It is also proven that he was met by two or three policemen, whose attention was directed to Laflamme\u2019s in consequence of a difficulty which had occurred at that place.These policemen observed the prisoner passing by them and holding up tbe deceased by the arm.The prisoner is then asked where he is going, and replies\u2014\u201c Don\u2019t, be alarmed, I will take good care of Charron.\u201d The policeman stationed in the street then observed the.two going in the direction of the bridge, known as the Biron Bridge.The home of the prisoner lies at the other end of this bridge ; but the bridge did not at all lie in the way of the deceased if he were proceeding to his home.It has been stated that the fact of the prisoner taking the deceased home\u2014and be it observed that the latter was drunk and staggering\u2014 that the taking ot the deceased home probably saved him from a night in the watehhouse.But what did the deceased gain by this act of benevolence on the part of the prisoner ?This bridge did not lie in the way of the deceased, and had he been left to himself, he would either have remained at Laflamme\u2019s, or gone to where his horse and cart were.But, in any way, the locality of the bridge would have been avoided.A short time after the prisoner and deceased were seen going towards the bridge.About 15 minutes after, the prisoner is found coming back panting, breathing hard, and walking fast.But Charron is no longer with him ; and as it has been proven, the prisoner would not be able in fifteen minutes to go to his house, which was an acre beyond the bridge, and return.One of the policemen meets the prisoner as he is coming back and asks him where he left the deceased.\u2014 Tbe reply is\u2014\u201cOh he is quite well ; he is all right ; he is getting on swimmingly like a hat floating down the river.I have taken care of him.\u2019 Where did the prisoner go after saying this to the policeman ?All day long he has been going from one tavern to another with the deceased.Bat after coming from the direction of the bridge be goes into Laflamme\u2019s tavern alone; and he ^orders a treat this time ; before that he had no money.He remains there a while then comes to the door, and lounges with another witness ;\u2014then he goes to Pour-rin's and remains till such time as Pourrin says \u201cwe must now take a final glass; and then I must shut my place.\u201d Where did the prisoner go afterwards?There is nothing to show.In order to,go home it was necessary for him to pass over the bridge.His daughter is brought up and asked if to her knowledge he had come home that night.She answers not to her knowledge ;\u2014that she went to bed at half-past ten o\u2019clock, and that he had not returned then ; neither did she know when became home.Now gentlemen I may remark to you, looking at another point of this case,\tthat there is nothing more uncertain in courts of justice than reference to time.This is natural, for the ordinary watch does not indicate with absolute precision what the hour is : and if it were possible for every man in this Court to have a watch in his pocket, and all of them to be exhibited at the same time it would be impossible to find them\tall agree.Now the watch found in the pocket of the deceased had stopped at-13 minutes to 11.It has been stated that though the chain was not run down there is nothing to show that the watch did not stop from other causes.That may be; but nevertheless there are circumstances with reference to time to which you will give more or less weight as they merit.At this hour we find a party playing cards at Marchessean\u2019s the man living at the other side of the bridge.They heard cries from the bridge so loud as to attract their attention ; and they opened the door and looked out.They also heard the barking ot a dog.The cries did not continue long, so the party again returned to their cards.This occurrea on one side of the: river.On the other side there was another party playing cards; they also were disturbed by cries of murder They opened the door went out an.inquired of their neighbors what was the matter.These incidents occurred about the same time close upon 11 o\u2019clock.A gentleman of the name of Nagle, also swears that he heard cries of murder from the bridge.He rushes out without his hat; goes over a portion of the bridge a nd thinks he.sees an object moving away but is not very sure.^He returns and thinks no more of the matter.The prisoner at the bar himself says that on that night he was on the bridge.He asks Guertin if he were not the man who met him on the bridge, and is answered in the negative, and the prisoner replied he was almost sure it was Guertin he heard whistling on the bridge,\u2014or if it were not he it must have been somebody else.Thus you have distinct proof that the prisoner was on the bridge on the night of the 2d of April, about 11.o\u2019clock.Another witness, Austin, swears that on the night in question he had occasion, shortly before 11 o\u2019clock, to pass over the bridge, in company with his wife.They observed a person on the bridge, and she was so much struck that she remarked\u2014\u201c he\u2014the person they met\u2014had got a frightful face \u2014and she was alarmed in consequence.This same witness stated that he was then under the impression that the.prisoner was the man ; and he also said that he still entertained that idea.There is another circumstance to prove that the prisoner was the person observed on the bridge that night.It is this.The last house in Cascade Street before you step on the bridge, is occupied by a man named Girard.This man\u2019s wife says that, on the night in question, she went to bed about hflif-past ten o\u2019clock.Her husband was at Marchesseau\u2019s playing cards.After being a littie while in bed, she heard a noise at the front door : she got up and found that the door was broken open.The servant man alarmed got up and began to charge a gun, thinking the house would be attacked.Whilst in the act a person came to the door, which had been re-fastened, and asked for some candles.He said that his name was Kennelly or Connolly.Bat Mrs.Girard and the servant man are certain that the voice is not a natural but an assumed one, and the request is refused.On the servant man going to the back door\u2014which looked in the direction of the bridge\u2014he, as well as his mistress, heard two cries of distress;\u2014and a little dog belonging to the house went barking up and down in consequence.On Girard coming back from Marchesseau\u2019s he is told about the door being burst open.He remarked that some drunken fellow must have done that.Here comes the explanation.On the next day this man Girard sees the prisoner, and says he is very much surprised that anyone should bear him such ill-will as to break open his door.Pooh, says the prisoner, this was not done purposely\u2014it must have been done by some drunken fellow passing along.You will remark that it is the prisoner who gives this explanation.Now, those facts laid down, it will be borne in mind that when Iasi seen together the deceased was drunk, and under the charge of the prisoner, who had voluntarily constituted himself as his guardian.Now, gentlemen, the deceased disappears on that night.After the lapse of a month the body of the deceased is found, bearing evident marks of violence.On nine days after the deceased had disappeared a friend of his, who Jived in the same village, happened to be in Ste Hyacinthe.Finding that, the prisoner was the last man seen in his .company, he sends for him ; brings him to a tavern and treats him.This friend of the deceased asked the prisoner what became of him.The reply was\u2014\u201cOh, I don\u2019t recollect.\u201d The other then said\u2014\u201cOne of the policemen saw you and the deceased together; he spoke to you and yon answered him.\u201d The friend of the deceased then sent for NUMBER 246.the polroemia ln question, who stated before the prisoner that he had, on the night of the second of April, seen the prisoner with the deceased ; spoke to him and received an answer.The friend then turned to the prisoner and asked him what had he done with Charron, and the pr.s/ ner replied\u2014\u201cI forget.\u201d Now, gentlemen, ¦ ne prisoner refuses to give an account of the deceased; he says let the prosecution find out as much as they like ; I will give no explanation.It is exceedingly natural that the murderer of the present day should imitate Cain, the first murderer.When Cain is asked where is Able, he answers, \u201cI am not my brother\u2019s keeper.\u201d In the present instance the prisoner at the bar cannot say \u201c I am not my brother\u2019s keeper\u201d; for he acknowledges that he is.That is proved.He takes the guardianship of the deceased.He takes him from a house which ought to have been an asylum to him.He tells the guardian of the peace that he will be all right .at his house.The prisoner at tlie bar does not bring him to his house\u2014where does he bring him ?He is silent on that point.He maintains that he is under no responsibility to answer, but he will find that, unfortunately, for him he will be under the necessity of answering, and that he is hound to render an account of what he did with the deceased.And when he keeps absolute silence, he raises against himself the presumption of guilt.Now, gentlemen, yon have it proved by many respectable witnesses that they heard the cries of murder proceeding from the bridge : and you are now aware that had the prisoner the intention to bring the deceased to his house that night he must have passed over the bridge.But had he any motive not to take him to his house?Is there anything to lead us to the belief that the prisoner was actuated by malice aforethought?We will now glance at the motive which, it is proved, must have actuated the prisoaer.On the Tuesday before the disappearance of the deceased, there was a meeting of the municipal authorities at St.Hyacinthe, to dispose of applications for tavern licences.The prisoner sent in an application which was rejected.It appears he said that, ifhe had money, he would get a license.On the Monday following it is proved he said that he had money enough to get a license ; and he only wished he had one.He is thus the individual who must have been more interested in obtaining a sum of money than almost any other person in St.Hyacinthe.His existance and that of his family depended upon the obtaining of his license.On Monday following the disappearance of the deceased, a creditor came to the prisoner and asked him if,he were able now to pay him a debt of five dollars and a quarter.The prisoner replied that he had procured money enough to obiain a tavern license ; and it was necessary also he should purchase some liquors ; but if his creditor, Girard, would allow him time to pay and not sue him, he would be certainly paid.This course Girard consented to onrsue.You have thus shown to you the existence of a motive for the disappearance of the deceased.In another case you see also his anxiety about money.One of the witnesses told him he had sold a fafm and had obtained his money for it.The prisoner thereupon remarked\u2014\u201c Father, you had better take care, and not go out at night, as you might be robbed and killed.As for me I do not know what I would not do to obtain some money.\u201d The old man replied\u2014 \u201cYes, you are worthless enough to do what you say ; but I never go out with more than two dollars.\u201d Here are the expressions of the prisoner himself, not that I would wish to attach full weight to them, but other expressions are proved to have been uttered by him that night.Unfortunately it happens that even the wisest of men, in making jokes, let fall sometimes rash and heedless words.But on the present occasion these words uttered by the prisoner showed his anxiety to obtain money by sbme means or other.Now, gentlemen, yon must come to another point.The prisoner it has been proved was in the habit of carrying a weapon like a skull cracker or life preserver.It is described to have been made of rope plaited so as to be weighty and heavy enough to inflict a severe blow.Upon the night ot the second of April he goes into-the house of a friend, and exposes this weapon.He stated that an Irishman had been arrested that day, but that a Üauadian would never be taken so easily, and he also said that a row would take place and that he would be there.With that he strikes the table two or three blows.His friend then made the observation \u201cthere you are again with your life-preserver; whenever you are in liquor you are sure to take it; it will bring you into trouble sojdon\u2019t go into town, but remain here to-night.\u201d The prisoner then asked for his friend\u2019s father that they might play a game of cards; the father was not forthcoming, and the prisoner, in spile of all remonstrance, left fpr St Hyacinthe, armed with this weapon.Next time he is observed with it he is seen to strike the bridge and the witness who saw him, heard him make certain observations.The same weapon is proved to have been in the house and at length it is made away with by his wife.This weapon and the language regarding it might all amount to nothing were is not for other circumstances.The body of the deceased was found 15 or 18 arpents from the bridge.But though from the time which had elapsed since its disappearance one might naturally expect that putrefaction would make more or less progress, such was not the case; and it willed Providence that the body should be found in a state of preservation.On the body being opened all the organs were found healthy;\u2014and nothing was seeh to show that death was caused by disease.But there was a very slight abrasion over the nose; a cut on the chin; from which; blood had proceoded and saturated the neck kerchief and small clots of blood were still found in the wound on the chin\u2014which held them the more effectively because it was a zig-zag one.The medical man said as plainly as could be that on one side of the temple he observed a contusion : and that he also noticed that there were marks which extended all round the back part of the head, and up to the temple on the other side of the head, over which, again there was another contusion.In looking at the head carefully he stated that the injuries were not single but were multiple\u2014that they were so repeated as to show beyond doubt, that it was not one blow which produced them, bnt several repeated.In the body no bone was broken\u2014 there was no dislocation and death was attributed to concussion of the brain, produced by blows on the head, more particularly on the temples.Same speculative opinions have been put forth to account for the cause of death ;\u2014 but the medical gentlemen who examined the body unanimously stated that death was caused by concussion of the brain, and I think it is impossible to come to any other conclusion.Could this weapon have produced these injuries ?The medical men say it would be likely to do so without cutting the skin.If the prisoner at the bar used such a weapon, even before this time he has himself to thank if it raises a presumption against him.And I think when such is the case that it would be well for parties who may be in the habit of carrying such weapons to pause well and ask themselves \u2014\u201cWhat would be the result, in the case of evidence of death and I found in possession of such a weapon under similar circumstances ?\" Now, gentleman, there is yet another point ; on Saturday we find the prisoner going from tavern to tavern unable to pay for liquor ; yet on Monday following he enters a tavern and calls and pays for seven glasses.There is besides this tact, that on the body of the deceased there was found, altogether, the sum of twenty-four dollars and five pence baif-penny\u2014of these there were six bank notes all of Canada, and forty-four quarter dollars.He had also a silver watch, wnich was found stopped at thirteen minutes to eleven.Now, gentlemen, how much money had the deceased received on that day, apart from all enquiry about the sum he had taken from his house.You have it in the statements put forth by the witnesses.When the body was found there was a large deficit.There may have been payments made ; but, supposing this to be the case, the deceased was a man sufficiently careful to have receipts.If, then, he paid away money, and thus accounted for the deficits, why have we not the receipts ?Supposing him to pay away money, we must bear in mind that it is not live months since the body was found; yet no one has come forward to say that he gave the deceased a receipt on the day in question.Of the notes which Ewing gave the deceased there were two not belonging to banks in Canada.At the time this man gave them to the deceased he remarked that there might be some difficulty about them.But they were not to be found on his body.And if there could be any objection to them, would Charron not have experienced it in passing them?Now, these notes have disappeared completely.But now the witness Lusignan comes in.And I must say that I never will build upon testimony of this description unless there are strong corroborative circumstances to support it.Lusignan is proved to be a drunk* ard.A number of witnesses were examined to prove that they would not believe him upon oath ;\u2014but I am bound to think that the testimony of such witnesses as Mr.Dessaulles should also be taken into account.However, the credibility, of Lusignan is a matter, gentlemen, for your own judgment.But Lnsignan said that the prisoner told him he had these two notes ; and that, for certain reasons, he burned them.He also says that the prisoner showed him a silver watch which he stated to belong to the deceased.This may or may not be true ; at any rate the deception recoils on the prisoner.However, it is for you to decide these points ; and yon will have to exercise your own judgment on the circumstances detailed by this man.You are not called upon to perform an impossibility\u2014yonr task is not beyond the powers of ordinary men.In proportion to the extent of your duty is the obligation to fulfil it.Don\u2019t embarrass yourselves with extrinsic inquiries as to the prisoner\u2019s fate, or to the hardships his family may suffer.Such considerations do hot lie within the scope ot your duties.No matter what may be the claims, a judge has nothing to give away ; and you, being the judges of this case, must act in the same manner.You have no compromise to make ; no indulgence to extend ; no favours to grant\u2014none whatever.You owe a debt of protection to society ; you owe also a duty to the man who has disappeared.If it be true that that man, having before him prospects of a long life and the enjoyment of perfect health, even after spending his time in debauchery, and going from tavern to tavern\u2014if it be true that man, without a serious thought within him, was brought to the bridge, murdered and thrown over, your course is plain.All that was left to that man was the power, mechanically, to cry out \u201c help\u201d and \u201cmurder.\u201d It that man was deprived of the opportunity of breathing out one prayer to heaven, when about to leave time and enter upon eternity, an injustice has been done him the greatest which a man can do to his fellow man.To deprive that man of reflection and of the time for repentance; and to hurry him in a state of drunkenness and insensibly into the presence of his maker, was to use him without the slightest regard or mercy\u2014it was to use him with terrible cruelty.These consequences are not to be lost sight of ; and with regard to the decision of this matter yon have nothing to do.Follow your right course and give a verdict according to the evidence.If yon think the deceased came to his death by violence and that the prisoner was the cause, follow the dictates of your conscience.Bat if yon think you have not sufficient proof that the prisoner is the guilty man, give nim the benefit of the doubt.You are a Jury who cannot be supposed to have any bias in this matter ; you are summoned from different parts of the district ; in fact bias has not been proved to exist in this case.You have now the whole facts before you ; and you, no doubt, will act upon them in the best manner your conscience and judgment may dictate.Having finished his cbarge, the learned Judge read over the 7 day\u2019s evidence in French and English, omitting, however, the Medical testimony, which he said he would read if any one of the Jury requested it, though he believed it would have no tendency to elicit anything of consequence, as it was conflicting in its nature.Ha finished about a quarter to 7 o\u2019clock, when the Jury were locked:np',for the night.| The Court throughout the day was crowded.Tlie prisoner, more than on any previous occasion, seemed to feel deeply the unfortunate position in which he was placed.CHINESE EXECUTIONS\u2014BY AN AMERICAN CORRESPONDENT.The Shanghai correspondent of the Boston Traveller, under date of May 31st, gives the following account of the execution of 150 Chinamen at that place,with the butcherly particulars more minutely told than has been done by any previous historian of these atrocities.It is sufficient indeed to shock the nerves of an army surgeon, or a post mortem practitioner of the most extended practice :\u2014 \u201cThe execution had been fixed at noon.At half-past eleven half a dozen men arrived at the execution ground, each armed with what resembled a cleaver rather than a sword, and proceeded by bearers of rough pine boxes, decorated with sides painted as if with blood.These were coffins for the gang to bo executed, which that day numbered one hundred and fifty.General unconcern, and even a stoical indifference, marked the countenances of both soldiers and spectators, who together amounted to about one hundred and fifty.A breeze sprang up, which carried the intolerable stench from the quarter occupied by the foreigners, who, to the number of a dozen, had obtained admittance to the top of one of the houses on the side of the street at the entrance of this field of blood.\u2019 Soon after the arrival of the executioners and the coffins, à division of the condemned appeared on the ground, consisting of ten individuals, speedily followed by the rest of the unhappy wretches in companies of the same number.Each prisoner had his hands tied behind his back, and a label stuck in his tail or long queue while he was thrustjdown into a wicker basket, over which his chained legs danced loosely, the body riding uncomfortably, and marked by a long paper tally pasted on a strip of bamboo thrust between the jacket of each condemned individual and his back.These \u201cman baskets,\u201d as they are called, slung with small cords, were carried by bamboo poles upon the shoulders of two men.As the prisoners arrive they are taken from the basket and made to kneel facing t he south.In a space oftwenty feet by twelve were counted as many as seventy prisoners, ranged in half-a dozen rows.At five minutes to twelve ¦à Mandarin wearing a white button arrived, and the two individuals who were first to be cut to pieces were tied to the crosses which had been planted.This was probably designed to in crease the the terror of death to those who were about to experience it just as though the natural bitterness was not sufficient.In the meanwhile that this frightening ^process was going on, the execution commenced, and twenty or thirty were headless before oar friend wasaware of it.The only sound to be heard was a horrid cheep, cheep, cheep, as the executioner\u2019s knife or cleaver fell upon the neck of the victim.No signs of fear were seen in the faces of the prisoners, as they knelt and awaited the fatal moment.No entreaties were made; no shrieks were heard.One blow was sufficient for each, the head tumbling between the legs of the victim before the body fell.As the sword fell the trunk, spouting with blood, sprang forward, falling on the breast.In /om)-minutes the execution was completed and one hundred and fifty^hnman beings of all ages had passed into eternity.Thereupon, the other sections commenced a work still more barbarous and horrifying ; it might be said to be even devilish\u2014for what could be more so ?The victims of torture were tied to the crosses which had been planted at one end of the area, when, an executioner approaching, cut a slice from undereach arm, with a short, sharp knife, which he carried.A low, suppressed, fearful groan from each victim, followed the gashing, but nothing like a scream or outcry.Dexterous as butchers, a slice was taken successively by the operators from the calves, the thighs, and thenjthe breast of each.It may be supposed, or, at any rate, it may be hoped that by this time the sufferers had become insensible to pain, though they were not dead.The knife was then thrust into the abdomen which was ripped up to the breast bone, and then twirled round and round, as the heart was separated from its holdings.Up to this moment, our informant said that, having once set his eyes upon the victims under torture, they be came fixed, as if by a strange spell, but now neither he could stand it nor they be riveted any longer.A whirling sensation ran through his brain, and it was with difficulty he could keep from falling.But this was not all ; the lashings of each victim were then cut, and his head, being tied by the tail to a limb of the cross, was severed from the body, which was then dismembered of hands and arms, feet and legs, separately.After this, the Mandarin left the ground, to return, however, with a man and a woman, the latter, as it was said, the wife of a rebel chief, and the man a leader of some rank among the rebels.The woman was cut up in the way already related, but for the man a more horrible torturing still was decreed.He was literally flayed alive.Our informant did not see the operation; his overpowered sensibilities did not permit it ; bnt an American sergeant of marines did, who described the horrors of the scene.The knife was first drawn across the forehead, [at which a piercing «cream was sent forth by the sufferer, and then the flesh was pulled over the eyes, and so till the horrible butchery was ended, There is a temple in Canton which I visited, called the \u201cTemple of Horrors,\u201d because in the several apartments are the most horrible representations of the tortures ot the Buddhist hell.But nothing there was more infernal than what was seen here.Such were the tortures inflicted by Yeh upon at least ten thousand human beings in the city of Canton, It is not surprising that the news of his death and the arrival of his body caused outbursts of exultation among the Chinese, who either had lost some friends under the operation of his cleaver, or else stood in constant fear for their own lives.Thousands were put to death who were entirely innocent, except that they happened to be the wives or children of others, or else had common family connections.The calmness and even indifference with which the Chinese meet death, are past belief, and unaccountable ; and yet, as the late war has shown, !;fle/\u201eare a nati°n of cowards.Bnt cowardice »nd;n^seI { \"suaUJ go together.I was told M\tln °ne of these execution scenes nniv thn creda^cei and yet is affirmed to be i er trutb- ^ young man was brought ^.rPht/hf1hSL0U?d,With seTeral hundreds who ' e eaded at the same time.All were ^ku?es-\u2019 dra\"\u2019nHP >u ranks, andawait-th^ a \u2019 i u, slSaa* for tbe commencement of the days butchery.A fruit peddler happened to be passing, when th6 young man remembered he had a few cash, or farthing pieces, in his pocket.He was hungry, for he had been brought a long distance in his basket, and he had gone without his breakfast.Eyeing the length of the rank to which he belonged, he could calculate the time with much exactness when the cleaver would fall upod his own neck Nothing daunted, he bought some bananas, and ate them kneeling ; the cleaver, however, almost intercepting them before they bad passed from the throat into the stomach ! Sometimes twenty-five or fifty condemnen rebels were at one time cast into the river together in their baskets, to save the labour of execution and the expense of interment.These Chinese are a mystery; I cannot understand them.THE DUEL BETWEEN BRODERICK AND TERRY.(B'j lelegraph.) The San Francisco Times of the 14th ult.says, that in accordance with our anticipations the expected duel between Senator Roderick and Judge Terry took place yesterday morning, in a small valley ten miles from Merced Lake.The parties went out of town the night previous, passing the night in separate localities.At a quarter past six Broderick and Terry arrived on the ground, attended by their seconds and physicians, Hon.J.O.MeKibben and Mr.Coulter for Broderick, and Calhoun Benham and Thomas Hays for Terry.On descending from their carriages the parties seemed to be in the best spirits, neither appearing anxious or nervous as to the result.About half an hour was occupied in the arrangements.Ten paces were marked off, and the principals took their positions.The seconds divested them of their outside coats, white collars, and other articles which might present prominent targets ; also of their watches and the coin in their pockets.One of the seconds then read aloud the code duello, which occupied a short time.Mr.Coulter then addressed the two gentlemen, saying he wished it to be understood that he should count \u201c one, two,\u201d after the word \u201c fire,\u201d after which he would say \u201c stop ;\u201d and no shot must be fired after that.During this time the principals maintained their positions, and listened with composure to these details.Judge Terry stood with his head thrown slightly back, looking towards his antagonist.Eaen held a pistol in his hand pointed to the ground.Each was dressed in black clothes, and wore a slouch hat.Mr.Broderick stood erect, but with his head rather down.The positions of the two were somewhat different.Judge Terry maintained that of a practiced duelist, presenting only the edge of his person, keeping his lett hand and shoulder well behind him.Mr.Broderick, on the contrary, though at first assuming a position somewhat similar to that of Judge Terry, seemed to prefer a careless and less constrained one, and gradually presented more of his body to the lire of his opponent ; he held his pistol rather awkwardly, and seeming to feci this himself, he once or twice turned the wrist of his pistol arm to the right with his left hand, as though endeavouring to comply with some prescribed directions previously given him.From that time he did not raise his eyes until the word was given to fire.Once his right foot got a fraction beyond the tine, when Mr.MeKibben replaced it.The bearing of Terry, though he assumed a more practical and motionless attitude, was not one jot more of an iron-nerved man than was that of Broderick.At a quarter before seven Mr.Coulter pronounced the words \u201cAre yon ready ?\u201d \u201cReady,\u201d responded Terry, and \u201cReady\u201d was uttered by Broderick.Immediately after, \u201cfire, one, two,\u201d was pronounced in moderately quick time.Broderick raised his pistol, and had scarcely brought it to an angle of forty-five degrees from its downward position when, owing to the delicacy of the hair trigger, it was discharged; the ball entering the ground four paces in advance of him.Terry fired a few instants later, taking deliberate aim.There was a perceptible interval in tne two reports.At that instant Broderick mas observed to clasp his left hand to his right breast, when it was seen that he was wounded.He reeled slowly to the tent, and, before the seconds could reach him, fell to the ground, his right leg doubled under h.m, still grasping his weapon.Terry, upon discharging the pistol, folded his arms, holding the pistol still smoking in his hands, a ,d did not move from his position.Broderick's seconds ran to his aid, and the Dr.commenced to staunch the wound.The bullet entered just a little forward of the nipple, and lodg a, as was supposed, under the left arm.He was soon afterwards borne into town in bis carriage.Previous to this, Terry and his friends left the field, driving rapidly into town, and started at once from the north beach, where a boat was Waiting, and proceeded to Oakland, where they took private conveyance to Benicia; one their arrivai at Benicia they took an overland conveyance to Sacramento.Mr.Broderick was taken to the house of Leonidas Haskell, at Black Point, where he was visited during the day by hundreds of his friends.He was able to speak during the afternoon, but owing to his wounded lungs his articulation was generally indistinct and unintelligible.The correspondent of the Cincinnati Times says that at fifteen minutes past nine this morning [16th] Mr.Broderick breathed his last.\u2014 Gloom and sorrow pervade the whole community.Flags are at half-mast, union down.\u2014 The stores are closing, and all the public buildings and even private houses are hang and dressed in mourning.ExïïMz asîH ©a m iner ce, PUBLIC SALES.Cargo of fresh Sugar, &c., for account of Messrs.J.& J.Mitchell.J.Leeming&Co., auctioneers : \u2014 990 brls Labrador herrings, $5.25 , 120 hf-do do, $2.90;

the True Witness, in his yesterday\u2019s issue, devotes some half-dozen columns of wearisome sophistry to prove that crime and immorality are the legitimate fruits of Protestantism, and that both flourish to an infinitely greater extent in Protestant than in Catholic countries\u2014especially in England and the United States, as compared with the Romanist States of Europe and America.Our Ex-Protestant Editor is, no doubt, a smart dialectician, and if his knowledge and judgment equalled his command of words and his zeal in the cause of his new religious faith, we might almost be induced to expose the glaring errors in his facts, and the equally glaring fallacies in his arguments.We happen, however, to have just met, in one of our exchange papers, with the opinion of an older and, we are inclined to believe, a sounder Catholic, as he is, assuredly, a riper scholar and an abler writer, than the converted traducer of the True Witness, on \u201c the actual state of England,\u201d which, to our mind at least, supplies a sufficiently conclusive answer to all this latter zealot\u2019s offensive misrepresentation and falsehood.It is the Count Montalembert, who, iu his celebrated essay, thus speaks of Protestant England :\u2014 \u201c I have already shown in these pages, and I hail again with joy the most significant and most consoling symptom of the actual state of England\u2014I mean the persevering ardor of the flower of the English nation in the pursuit of social and administrative reforms ; of amelioration in the state of prisons, and that, of unhealthy habitations ; in spreading popular, professional, agricultural and domestic education ; in the augmentation of the resources set apart for public worship.; in the simplification of civil and criminal procedure ; in toiling, in every way, for the moral and material well-being ot the working classes, not by the humiliating tutelage of uncontrolled power, but by the generous combination of every free agency, and of every spontaneous sacrifice.\u201d Motice to Advertisers.All Advertisements sent in for publication in the Herald, previous to the 20th instant, will receive an insertion in

correspondent at Dover, N.H., sends us the following account of the kidnapping of a young child from her mother in that city on Saturday evening last : \u201c Quite a tragical scene occcrred on Saturday evening last.Some years since, D.I.S.Farrar, then of this city, now of New York, married a Miss Huntress, and after a few years oi comparative domestic peace, some misunderstanding between them grew into quite a formidable result, and last June they were divorced, the lady taking her child, and has resided with her mother ever since, the husband not being permitted to visit her except in the company of two persons appointed by the Court.Her husband has frequently sworn by all that is possible, that he would steal the child, and the family have guarded the precious charge with great care and anxiety.About 6 j o\u2019clock on Saturday night, as the mother was undressing the child to put her to bed, in rushed the husband, [who was supposed far away,] somewhat disguised, and seized the child.A sister of the mother was in the room, and they struggled, but in vain.Suddenly the husband fired off a pistol, which was intended to intimidate the already frenzied females, which was successful, and in the confusion he made his escape, fired another charge in the yard, and sprang into a carriage awaiting him, and made off with the swiftest speed possible.The street was the scene of quite an excitement.The heart stricken mother is frenzied with her loss.Whatever the circumstances-whoever is wrong in the matter of divorce-unless the child was cruelly treated, which was not the case, nothing warrants the diabolical act.Deputy Marshal Smith and assistants were despatched on his track in one direction, and Mayor Bennett and a police force in another.\u2014 The only trace now known is that Friend Dennis, above Garrison Hill, saw a carriage pass his house about the time stated, and the child crying vehemently.For the information of the public and the police, we will give you a brief description of the husband.He is a tall, square-built man, about thirty years of age, light complexion, large head, light hair, and sandy whiskers on the edge of his face, completely round, stoops a little, dresses finely, and is quite a gentleman in appearance.We hope, as he is well known in this vicinity as Farrar, the writing-master, that he will be arrested at once.\u201d P.S.\u2014A reward of four hundred dollars has been offered for the arrest of Farrar.\u2014Boston Traveller.Arrival of the AFRICA.Sandy Hook, Oct.14\u20143 P.M.The Africa has just passed.The Bavaria

Planta-genet Water, price 5 cents, will cure those complaints at the beginning ; and a gallon, price 20 cents, at any stage.Persons indulging in luxurious diet, and those who commit excess in drinking, are curable on the same easy terms.Even, in the absence of sickness, Plantagenet Water, taken on an empty stomach early in the morning, secures ease to the stomach, clearness to the head, and comfort to the feelings for the rest of the day.As clear thought and calm feeling are important to the judicious transaction of business, a fortune may be gained or lost by the use or non-use of

that the aid afforded by the Harbour Board has been so fully appreciated by Capt.Orlebar, and that so important a work as his new survey has now been finished, viz : a thorough re-survey of the St.Lawrence by order of the Admiralty, with the view of having Bayfield\u2019s Charts republished on a larger and more comprehensive scale, embracing tbe whole of the changes in the channel of navigation since tbe survey upon which those charts were based.Steamer Lady Le Marchant, ) Quebec, 8 th Oct., 1859, jj Sir,\u2014Having finished the work, entrusted to us in the River St.Lawrence, completely resounding the River, and introducing all the improvements made in tbe Lighting, Wharfing, and Bridging along the river course from Montreal to Quebec, I now, on the part of Commander Hancock and myself, beg to tender our sincere acknowledgments for the valuable and kindly aid afforded us at all times by your Superintendent and other officers acting under your orders.The work is well done, but without the help afforded by Capt.Armstrong\u2019s thorough acquaintance with the various obstructions of the channel, it would have taken much longer time to complete.Your Board has, in the fullest manner, and by all its officers, aided us in our operations ; and tbe new edition of the St.Lawrence Survey will owe much of its utility and correctness to the valuable co-operation ot tbe Montreal Harbour Commissioners.Hoping that I may soon be allowed the satisfaction of sending you the engraved plan, I have tbe honour to be, sir, Your obdt.servt., John Orlebar, Commander in charge of St.Lawrence Survey.To Alex.Clerk, Esq., Secretary, Harbour Commissicners, Montreal.A Short Story.\u2014The following cmious story is from tbe Boston Traveller of the 10th instant.We should say that it wants authentication.Mr.Hector McDonald of Canada is about as well defined a person as the celebrated John Smith :\u2014 Mr.Hector McDonald of Canada, was recently on a visit to Boston.When he left home his family were enjoying good health, and he anticipated a pleasant journey.The second morning after his arrival in Boston, he saw reflected in a mirror the corpse of a woman lying in the bed from which he had just risen.Spell-bound, he gazed with intense feeling, and tried to recognize the features of the corpse, but in vain ; he could not even move his eyelids ; he felt deprived of action, for how long he knew not.He was at last startled by tbe ringing of the bell for breakfast, and sprang to the bed to satisfy himself if what he had seen reflected in the mirror was real or an illusion.He found the bed as he had left it ; he looked again into the mirror, but only saw the bed truly reflected.During the day he thought much upon the illusion, and determined next morning to rub bis eyes and feel perfectly sure that he was wide awake before he left his bed.But notwithstanding these precautions, the vision was repeated with this addition, that be thought he recognized in the corpse some resemblance to the features of his wife.In the course of the second day he received a letter from his wife, in which she stated that she was quite well, and hoped he was enjoying himself among his friends.As he was devotedly attached to her, and always anxious for her safety, he supposed that his morbid fears had conjured up the vision he had seen reflected in the glass, and he went about his business as cheerfully as usual.On the morning of the third day, after he had dressed, he found himself in thought at his own house, leaning over the coffin ot his wife.His friends were assembled, the minister was performing the funeral services, his children wept\u2014he was in the house of death.He followed the corpse to the grave ; he heard the earth rumble upon the coffin, he saw the grave filled, and tbe green sods covered over it; yet, by some strange power he could see through tbe ground the entire form of his wife as she lay in her coffin.He looked in the faces of those around him, but no one seemed to notice him ; he tried to weep, but the tears refused to flow ; his very heart felt as hard as rock.Enraged at his own want of feeling, he determined to throw himself upon the grave and lie there till his heart should break, when he was recalled to consciousness by a friend who entered the room to inform him that breakfast was ready.He started as if awoke from a profound sleep, though he was standing before the mirror with a bair-brush in his hand.After composing himself, he related to his friend what he had seen, and both concluded that a good breakfast was only wanting to dissipate his unpleasant impressions.A few days afterwards, however, be received the melan-cbolly intelligence that his wife had died suddenly and the time corresponded with the day he had been startled by tbe first vision in the mirror.When he returned home he described minutely all the details of the funeral he had seen in bis vision, and they corresponded with the facts.This is probably one of the most vivid instances of clairvoyance on record.Mr.M\u2019Donald knows nothing of modern spiritualism or clairvoyance, as most of his 'life has been passed upon a farm, and among forests.It may not be amiss to state that his father, who was a Scotch Highlander, had the gift of \u201c second sight.\u201d Madam Aiiiia Bishop Begs to announce

friends, in a buggy, they got into a fracas, on Dundas-street, with three men, named respectively Owen Halloran, Peter Fagan, and Edward Harper.It is alleged that the parties just named way-laid Mr, Lennox and those with him, having some old grudge against them.They upset the buggy, and assaulted them, when the horse broke loose from the vehicle and scampered off.Mr.Lennox, who had a loaded pistol in his possession it is said, fired three shots at the party who as sailed him and his friends, the third shot taking effect in Halloran\u2019s hip.The wounded man was taken to his house on William street, and medical aid called in.The medical attendant, however, was unable to find the bullet, although he probed for it.Tbe wound is considered a serious one, and it is doubtful if the man will survive.In tbe meantime Mr.Lennox proceeded to tbe house of one of the County Magistrates and laid an information, and warrants were immediately issued for the apprehension of Hallo-ran, Fagan, and Harper.The warrants were handed to one of the Yorkville Constables, who received assistance at the Yonge street station to take them into custody.On proceeding to Halloran\u2019s house they found he was unable to be removed.They afterwards apprehended the others, one of whom was admitted to bail.Late in the evening a warrant was issued for the apprehension of Mr.Lennox.There are, as usual, two versions of tha manner in which the row commenced, but the matter will be investigated this morning, when no doubt the truth will be ascertained.\u2014 Toronto Globe, Wednesday.A

vs.McDougall.\u2014Counsel for tbe plaintiff, Hon.J.H.Cameron and Mr.C.Magrath ; for the defendant, Mr.M.C.Cameron.\" The principal witness in this case was Margaret Henry, the plaintiff.She is about 23 years of age.She stated that, while in the employment of the mother of the defendant, he had seduced her from the path of virtue, under promise of marriage.When she could no longer conceal her condition, he induced her to go with him to Buffalo.In that city she bore a child.McDougall advised her to leave the child at some person\u2019s door when it was only about a week old, She objected to follow his advice in this matter, saying that if she had been unfortunate, she would not be guilty of such a cruel and inhuman act.Both plaintiff and defendant while staying in Buffalo went CORRESPONDENCE, \u201c HONOUR TO WHOM HONOUR.\u201d To the Editor of the Montreal Herald.Sir,\u2014It is a pleasing duty to notice the acts which entitle a fellow-citizen to distinction and honor, and to pay him the tribute of respect due for the benefits he may have conferred on the city by any act calculated to promote the moral, physical or intellectual advancement of tbe citizens.Animated with these sentiments, I deem it proper to advert to the magnificent donation presented by the Honerable James Ferrier to the Natural History Society of our City, on\u2019his return from his tour to the historical scenes of the old Testament.This gift, with which the Society is now enriched, consisting of over two hundred articles enumerated in the \u201cHerald\u201d of tne Ilth inst., must have been acquired at great cost,\u2014which with the time and trouble indispensibe in their collection, attest alike the zeal and the generosity of the estimable donor.It were well for the City, if our affluent tourists generally, would remember \u201chome\u201d in like manner when in \u201cdistant lands away,\u201d and thus, by following the noble example of the honorable James Ferrier, entitle themselves to the lasting gratitude of their fellow-citizens.I am, Sir, Yours, &c., The Art of Dyeing Hair is but imperfectly understood even by those who make the greatest pretensions.The most of the

decided., Up to the commencement of August last no treaty had been signed between France and Cochin China.The Moniteur says some journals have stated that the solution of the affairs of Italy would be impeded by the desire of the Emperor of France to found a kingdom in Italy for a Prince of his house.These rumors do not need refutation to deprive them of all value.It suffices, without speaking of the engagements entered into at Villa Franca, to bring to recollection the acts and the words of the Emperor Napoleon before and since that epoch.It is announced that several regiments of the' corps

suffrage, accompanied by the grant of a Constitution, and by a general Amnesty ; that the Duchess of Parma will have Modena, and that Parma will remain annexed to Piedmont.The warmest end most sanguine partizans have now given up all hope of being emancipated from Papal rule.The Herald\u2019s Paris correspondent says :\u2014 The Duke ot Modena is at the head of 10,000 troops, backed by 5000 more under the Grand Duke of Tuscany.Kalhermatten has collected some 10,000 men, of whom about one-third are Croats and the remainder Swiss, and he has gone to Vienna, it is said, to organize a plan

members of bis Legation, and arrived at Ning-Ho-Fou.The American corvette which had brought Mr.Ward was retained in port.The members of tbe Legation, under the guidance of a Mandarin, were placed in a huge box, five metres long by three broad, which was everywhere but above closed, so as to prevent those in it seeing the country.This box chamber, provided with all things necessary to the comfort of travellers, was placed on a raft and taken first up the river, and then up the Imperial Canal as far as the gate of the Capital.Here it was placed on large truck drawn by oxen, and in this way the Minister ot the United States and members of his legation entered the Town of Pekin.They were perfectly well treated by the Chinese, but they were not allowed to see anything.The truck was drawn into the court-yard of a large house, which was to be the residence of the American Envoys, but from which they were not to be allowed to go out.At last dates they were awaiting their interview with the Emperor.They bad not been allowed to have any communication with the outer world, but were permitted to send a despatch to Mr.Fish, tbe American Consul at Shanghai, informing him of their safety.After the interview, the American Minister was to be re-conducted to the frontier in the same way as that in which be came.AUSTRALIA.Telegraph advices, in anticipation of Australian mails, state that the
