By invitation of 8hcr1ff Nicola we wrre pre rut in the County Jail at 4 o'clock yesterday sttwrnoon. to hear the contention of Alexander MrConncil, the murderer of Eobh Colvin, on the 14th of March lust, and sentenced to be hung on tt 10th Of August, I860. There were several gentlemen in attendance, Including M. B. Castle, Keq., tbe Prosecuting Attorney, Sheriff Nicola, Deputy Sliuriti- Kidg way, reporters of the Leader and herald, and one or two Jurors who eat on the trial. MoCon sell shows signs of deep, heartfelt contrition, ad often choked with emotion while making the appended statement, lie Beenis to have no kopeoi commutation, and talks of his approach ing doom with a sigh ot half deonair and hilf resignation. To Mr. Castle's interrogations lie Oennell made the lollowing conlejsion: My name u Alexander AlcConnell. I am 35 or 36 years old, don't know which; was born in tbe ount.v ol Tyrone, Ireland: came to America 16 yats ago ou the 8th ot July last, and landed in Ottawa. I was married in the township of Fitz oy, Carrolton countv, Canada West, thirty joiles Irom Ottawa. My wife was a widow with nix children when I married her. We have had three children. I have always been a farmer. I loft my home to come here In February last; eanie directly to Cleveland; staid one week in the city, and thin went to Berca to work. 1 have said to some persons that I came sway on account ol ditliculties at home, but it not so. 1 owed a man the sum of $12, and he threatened lo sue me. I came to cam the money to pay him. (Here McCounell was evcrcome by h's lerhngs aud wept) When I started with Coivin to eo to liercu on the morn ing of the 24th of March last, I did not intend to go all the way. 1 intended to turn back and go to the shanty. There was no one at the shanty when I got there. 1 took Colvin's clothes and Boots and Jolt my owu In the bed. I then started for the railroad, past Crawford's, in tending to go by Klyria westward the way I came. On the way to the railroad track, I met Rosa Colvin in Eglcr's lot, I kept on, explaining to her that I had Colvin's things to carry them to him; that he was going 10 Cleveland. She said if Colvin was goine she was going too. We went on about halt way up the lane by Clodell's house, when 1 told her 'that 11 Colvin didn't get hia things he would notero to Cleveland; that 1 was tired, and we would go tiack to the shanty I having bethought me that it wouldn't do to tell tbe other story. We then went back to the shanty by Kgler's. After laving the clothes down aud the seeing them, she said she didn't believe I was protnato see bcrhinbaud l all. I didn't know what to say. I confessed then to hir that I wasecoing home to Canada. She said, "Have ou been robbing the house ?" I said no, i was taking some ot Colvin's clothes, and leaving some of mine in their place. 1 then naid 1 would take my own and eo home. I had none of his clothes on ihen. She snatched up the iron poker, and, placing herell in the door, said I should not go till William got home. 1 insisted that I would go. She said she would o and call the neighbors. I eot my own clothes and started to ro out ot the door, when she struck me over the arm wifb the poker. I laid down the clothes and think I struck her then with my fist. It knocked her down. She got up and struck at me; am not sure it she struck me or not. I seized a 6tick of woo 1 and strnctc her 1 think on the back of the head; she fell. She lumped up and struck mo over the head with the pokor. I staetrcred back against the wall, teized an axe and struck her oi the head one blow. She died instan'ly. When I stiuck her the blow with the Btick ot wood she fell, and I kicked her, which I think cut her ear. As she fell the last time I took her in my arms; I was alarmed, and said, "My God, have I killed you !" (The pri soner here wept bitterly and could not speak for some momenta.) Then I did not know what to do; I thought I had killed her in my pasbion, and did not know what would become of me. I went outside of the shanty and stood there a little while, then I cume back into the shanty and carried her to the woodpile. ThU was be tween 11 and 12 o'clock in the lorenoon, as near as 1 can tell. Alter carrying her out I came back into the shanty. While I was iDslde the two Crawlords and the two Spears passed close by the house. I heard them talking, and saw them Irom the shanty. She was at the t me buried under the wood. As soon as they hud gone to dinner, I again packed up the eoods and started. I then went past the Crawtords' house to the railroad, taking the track westward, and walked to Ely ria. Thcie I took the 5 o'clock train lor Sandusky. I arrived at Sandusky a little before dark, and tayed at a hotel ail night; I started on Monday morning about halt-ptust 5 o'clock on too', for Jftemont, arriving there about half-past 9 or 10 in the forenoon. There I took the 11 o'clock train to Toledo, and kept straight on to Detroit. J then crossed to l ort Sarnia, and took the Giand Trunk road home. In twenty minutes or half an hour after I trock Rosa Colvin the last blow, I took her body out and deposited it under tbe wood pile. . 1 held her in my arms a good while, expecting Iter to come to; was not conscious when I dropped the dress which I had wrapped around her. Alter 1 bad deposited the body tinder the wood I came back into the house aud mopped up the blood. 1 did place the heavy logs of wood over her feet. It was not more than fifteen minutes from the time I struck her the first blow till I struck her the final blow with the axe. The money that was claimed to be lost, and the watch and Mrs. Colvin's clothing, I mever saw and deny taking. God Almighty knows I am sorry lor the deed I have done, and 1 hope to be forgiven. The loregoing statement I make voluntarily, and have desired Sheriff Vlcola and Mr. Castle, tbe Prosecutor, to be present with other gentlemen to hear it and take it down. McConnell is not able to write, though he can Teatl a little. We make no comments upon his Cvntesblon, except that it is doubtless truthful and made through sincere repentauce. When the contession was concluded McConuell gave way to his feelings, and, weeping, was conducted nack to his lonely cell. He expressed no hope of reprieve, and seemed thanktul that Christian counsel had been tendered him. He begged that his confession might not be published till atier ais death, but on being told that it might benefit JUa eause, be consented. Miss Rebecca McC'jnnell, the prisoner's sister, Is engaged in circulating a petition among his friends in Canada, praying the Governor of this State that the sentence may bo commuted to imprisonment.

Umiontown, July 10 Tne Court reassembled at 9 o'clock this moruing, and the examination of Weslev C. Larimer, who was on the stand at Ihe time of adjournment on Monday evening, was continued. lli testimony was substantially the same as that of the other witnesses. Several other witnesses were called, but the evidence was merely accumulative, alter which the Com monwealth closed. There was no evidence offered for the defense, and on the conclusion of the testimony on the part of the Commonwealtn, the counsel pro ceeded with their arguments to the Jury. Judge Cilniore then delivered the charge to the jury, and after they had retired, the hour of noou kaving arrived, the Court took a recess until i O'CLOCK The Oourt reassembled at 2 o'clock, and the greatest anxiety was manifested to hear the xetult of the deliberations of the Jury. The court-room was crowded with spectators, many strangers being present from different parts of the adjacent counties. The Court and spectators, however, were not kept In waiting, tor Immedi ately after the opening of the Court the inry cajue in, and announced through their foreman THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, that they had agreed upon a verdict of "Guilty of murder In the first degree." When the verdict wan announced, Thalrwell appeared to be completely overcome. Notwith standing the conclusive evidence which had been adduced against him, and the fact that be had made a fall and free confession of his participa tion in the horrible deed, he had Indulaed in the hope that the lury would either reduce lb" grade of the crime, or probably acquit. His hopes for leniency seemed to be Daed on the facts shown, that Mrs. Houseman was the leading spirit, that she had so much Influence over him (hat he became a mere tool to carry out her leariul designs. The rendition of the verdict, however, dissipated those hopes, and he wat bo much overcome that It was necessary to assist him from the court-room to the jail, when remanded lor sentence. At 3 o'clock Mrs. Mary Housesaan, the wife ot the mnnlcred man, and pnraruonr of Fairwcll, was arraicned lor trial for the murder of her husband. Ileforc tbe Jury had been empau nellea, the Court adjourned until Wednesday morning. Pittsburg Chro7iic!e. lltti, THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. Important Letter from Governor Curtin.
