It was therefore necessary, as a matter of right to the en oineer, to examine some witnesses touching the cha racter'of the engineer for sobriety, as woll as com petency. The coroner also called to the stand Pro lessor Morris, who gave an Interesting dissertation on electricity, a question that has occupied much at tention in the world of science for a number of Tears, and which remains as yet undecided. Seien tMe men differ on this subject. The Investigation progressed as follows. ; Mr. Donaldson, engineer, recalled.—A drawing was shown representing the parts of the exploded boilers ; upon this he was examined at considerable length, in order to ascertain if possible which of the boilers exploded first; the method of feeding them ; a great variety of questions Were asked, in Order to test his capacity as an engineer; during his exami nation he stated that he had observed scales on the bottom of one of the boilers, which he had endea vored to scrape off.

When I came to town, I was requested by the coro ner to examine the boiler 31 called on Messrs. Cor nelius & Baker, to ascertain where the pieces of boi ler were, and receieed the desired information ; one piece was at Morgan St Orr's, and the other at the - factory. on Columbia avenue. W. Burnett Levan sworn.—l examined pieces of the boiler. ; the iron appeared good ; that -part at Columbia avenue was a portion of the mud drum head ; I do not think that the boiler iron was thick . enough for a pressure of eighty pounds ; in regard to the construction of the boilers at Messrs. Corne lius & Baker's, the rising - or flailing of steam is ra pid ; nsy theory is that it is possible for the steam to Mrce the water up into the upper boiler, and thus Flails a false supply of water; at a time such as this the mud drum, if not perfect, might be forced off; this wadd cause the water to drop out, and expose the lines to a hot fire—hence an explosion ; I am not prep:, red to say this was the ease of the boiler that exploded at Messrs. Cornelius & Baker's 5 I have known a similar boiler to explode 3 in fact. I tam tiT the - firm opinion they are not safe boilers ; I am per fectly acquainted with boilers—it is my business ; the tubes in this boiler seemed to be made of excel lent iron; my impression is that the central range of tubes exploded first, because the ontside tubes are bent outwards ; I could not observe any signs what ever of intense heat ; my impression is that emboli or in bursting caused the other to explode. - Professor Win. Morris, N. D., who entertains the theory that it is the force of electricity that causes steam-boilers to explode, was introduced by the Co roner, who said, that, as coroner, he desired all the light that could be thrown upon this subject. The venerable professor stated that when called upon by Coroner Taylor to appear, he thought it would be better to state his views, briefly, in writing. The Professor then read the fallowing paper ; Mu. CORONER: Being here at yourrequest, I will, with your permission, present a few thoughts on the subject of this 'judicial inquiry. And I shall sub mit my conclusions with the greater confidence, by reason of the scientific reputation of the intelligent jury now assembled. It is usual to ascribe steam-boiler explosions to the expansive power of steam, and by this assump tion the inquiries made are generally governed. But the cause assigned—as it is commonly thought not equal to hit the effects produced. The ful crum requisite for steam power is supplied by a sound and well-constructed boiler, having its proper appliances well adjusted and secured. But if this fulcrum become defective, or the steam pressure be raised to en unreasonable height, the iron cylinder may indeed burst or be rent asunder by the expan sive power of the steam, as commonly apprehended. But this possibility does not, and cannot, enable us to account for the great amount of gravity over come, and the projectile newer displayed, in the ease of steam-boiler explosions and their attendant facts. The real and effective cause of those disastrous events must be otherwise sought and found. A thoroughly scientific attention must be given to the true and acknowledged doctrine of "force." The natural distinction subsistinmbetween inert matter_ and active power must be considered, not in the -- abstract merely, but in relation to the subject of ex plosions and their results. "- Force cannot be generated or in any way origina ted ; for, everywhere, and in everything, it exists, either in an active or in a latent state. It can only be excited, evolved, and applied. Neither can it be destroyed, but is readily convertible, and its muta tions are many and diverse. Force Is essentially one, though its constituent principles are three, and its effective manifestations are many. And those effeetive manifestations are indicated by the fami liar words light, heat, electricity, magnetism, gra vitation, momentum, elasticity, chemical affinity, and muscular power. I assign electricity as the effective cause of steam boiler explosions. But while so doing I bear in mind that in assigning any one thing as the cause of another, it is necessary that the assigned cause should, be shown to exist, and to he equal to the effect ascribed. But if it be shown that free elec tricity to an enormous amount is present in every steam-boiler when "fired up," no reasonable man will be found to doubt of its being equal to the ex plosive and projectile power and effects that are so ireequently and so terribly displayed. And 'a brief notice of the natural history of water and of fire in relation to steam-power, will serve to show the existence and presence of the cause which Is now assioned. Hater, though material, is more than matter, for it is matter -in combination with Went - force. We all know that water is composed of two gases, com bined by an excess of electricity, and that in the natural Ptilte of water. an electric equilibrium sub sists. But it must also be considered that if an in tense excitement, and a dominant accession of the radiative 'principle of electricity be occasioned with in the boiler, the effect is what is called steam, and steaminiwer, and that the application of fire to the boiler occasions the excitement and the accession now within view. Fire. though material, is more than matter, for it consists 01 'natter in combination with active force. The principle of lite, limier the name of caloric, is known to be a constituent in the solar light ; and it is thus hmown to be a constituent principle of elec tricity. seeingl, that light and electricity are eW,en- Bally one and the same. Fire, as viewed in relation to the subject of pre sent inquiry, is radiant heat. When fire is applied to the boiler, and the motions or vibrations, thereby occasioned, are communicated from particle to par ticle of the water within, the heat is said to be con ducted. But when the particles of water, being greatly excited, have transmitted their yibrations to the air in the steam chamber, the heat within the boiler has become radiant heat, and this radiant heat is active and energetic electricity , -13 g the radiant heat thus transmitted from the furnace, the natural electricity of the water is greatly excited, and its radiative principle , which is distinguished by intensity,. is also greatly augmented, and the effect of this 19 steam and steam power ; or, to speak more accurately, steam-power consists In the mu tual repulsion of minute molecules of water In the state of elastic vapor, as surcharged with radiative electricity, which is the real force evolved. And it should be considered that, previous to any accession of electricity, as transmitted from the furnace, the amount contained in the water is enor mous, and is very readily excited and set free. This has been noticed by Sir W. Snow Harris, in his de scription of the " Hydro-electric Machine," and Pro fessor Faraday has made known that the amount of electricity contained in "one grain" of water is equal to that of a " very potoetfulftash of lightoing." And by the continuous process of evolving steam power, this enormous amount of electricity, together with the great accession transmitted from the fur nace is in a state of the most intense excitement, and its constituents are, in great part, divorced and set free. For it Is held to be fundamentally true that "the propogation of heat, at least In a metal, is always attended with the liberation of electric force:" and again, " whatever disturbs any one par ticle (At matter, whether solid or fluid, the disturb ing forte. especially if it be heat, liberates active electricity." And the disturbance of particles with in the steam-boiler, when "fired up,” must of ne cessity be inconceivably great. The effective cause of steam-boiler explosions has now been disclosed. But, while the cause is electric force. the occasions of explosion are many, and are variously induced. For instance : A deficiency of water in the boiler may be an occasion ; and espe cially so, if the renewed supply be brought In con tact with an incandescent, nietalic surface, for de- composition in part, would most likely ensue ; and, even when the boiler is properly supplied, the water may come in contact with an incandescent surface, by reason of the formation and subsequent disrup tion of the calcareous deposit, technically called Again; The applicatiOn of an eXceSSl've degree of radiant heat may be the occasion of over-excited conditions. For the e!ectrie constituents divorced and liberated by the process of evolving steam power have each a natural tendency _to reunite with Its opposite ; and, by virtue of this law, the radiated electricity accumulated in the steam chant her presses laterly and upward towards Its oppo site in the atmosphere, and, consequently, if there be an excessive degree of radiant heat transmitted from the furnace an explosion will certainly ensue. But further a While there is an accumulation of radiative electricity in the upper cavity of the boiler, there is also, a great accumulation of the mag netic principle in the lower part, where it is the effective Cause or the Ruination of calcareous scale." The natural tendency of these divorced and contrastive principles to reunite within the boiler is controlled and indered by the conditions necessary to the continuous evolution of effective • steam—that is to say, they are kept asunder ..hy,the radiant heat, which is radiant electricity, 'ascending from the furnace and acting against its .own"kind in the steam-chamber. But, whenever. 'the natural tendency of these two opposites IS no longer thug eentrollea, and other In condi ' tionS, inductive to the same result, concur—that moment they will rush to each other, and the In stantaneous effect of their reunion will be a tremen dous display of explosive and projectile power. Thus, even the "letting down of the fire" may be the occasion of sudden disaster and death. There may be other occasions besides those now described. Ind, whatever may be the occasion, the MUM of explosion is the excitement, disunion, and liberation of the contrastive forces of electricity within the boiler, by the process of evoking steam power. A question of exceeding importance arises : What means of safety will meet the exigencies of the case its just described? The present advanced state of electrical science will, doubtless, furnisha fe full r practical reply. But, with becoming deference,l will now submit the thought of an electrometer, and off, n electro-inductor,for directing a current of the ra diative electricity n - em the steam-chamber alone; the lower part of the Moiler; and also an eloetro-ei eapement, for discharging the excess of free electri city into the atmosphere, or into the earth. The evidence here closed. The jury will render a verdict this afternoon. THE U. S. CHRISTIAN" COMMISSION.-7A. public meeting of the U. S. Christian Commission, having in view the interests of that organization, was held last evening at the Church of the Epipha ny, corner of Fifteenth and Chestnut streets. The main room and gallery were crowded with ladies and gentlemen. The exercises opened by singing the hymn coimneneing "God moves inn mysterious way his wonders to perform." A very fervent prayer was then offered up to the Throne of Grace by Rev. Dr. Newton. Rev, Bishop Melly:tine, D. D., president of the meeting, then said: The whole land seems to be holding its breath in expectation of that which is to come. All the history of our nation, from its beginning to the present, time, will hardly equal the solemn events of the coming few weeks. Oh ! when we think of the awful conflicts that are to take place, and the many souls that are to be ushered into eternity ; the importance of multiplying the agencies of the Gospel at the present time—when WC think of all these things, then we remember that this is the precise work of the Commission. To go wherever the sick, the wounded, and the dying are to be found. Oh, dear brethren, those is joy un speakable to hear one saying, that I would have perished in my sins had it not been for the agencies thrown out by the Commission. There is not in the whole world, at the present time, a field to be found where Christianity should be colleen terd than on the field where our armies are now stationed. The instances of conversion among the soldiers during this war, and especially within the past two months, are .most wonderful and joyful. sustain this work, brethren, and through this work our Government. Let us call upon God for help. The speaker then introduced the Rev. E. N. Kirk, L. It, of Boston, who said : More than one million of men have gone forth from their homes to defend this country. There rema in twenty millions at home. We are here in the midst of such circumstances as the people of this country never have seen. We are turning a page in history that will never be turned again. Honor, 'humanity, patriotisM, piety, urge us to identify ourselves with the soldier, to seek with earnestness sod bear with fortitude, and bear our share, and offer upon the altar our common sacrifices. We can save the lives of the soldiers, directly or indirectly. It was a striking contrast which Speaker Colfax drew when speaking in behalf of the Christian Commission, in reference to the bat tles on the Peninsula and those of the Crimea. Tile military sphere is, in a certain sense, a sacred one. We may recognize its intrinsic imperfections.' What a sphere of benevolence and Christianity opens here. He told an instance of a surgeon, who came across a younw men that was wounded. He dressed his wound: and remarked that the ball had entered the ! lun-s. and would prove fatal. A member of the tliastian Commission came along, and on ; examina tion found that the ball had not entered the lungs, but passed through the body. He, like a gond Sa mantan, ministered to his wants, and preached sal vation to him. The young man recovered, and is now either a candidate for, or has received his ap poiniment as chaplain of a regiment. yes. brethren, we can save life, we can diminish suffering; lint man is not animal, he has a soul, an immortal soul; he is a sinner against God, and there is but one argument—how. can he be saved, how can he believe•tmless he hear, how can he hear unless he is preached te, and how can he be preached to unless some one be sent forth to do it 1 All these ! soldies are immortal whose souls must dwell ' in hell or in heaven forever. You may meet a man in the streets of this city and offer him a tract, which he will spurn away, but get him down to the front, in the regions of death and he becomes cour teens and will - accept it. lie becomes a different person, not converted, but changed. The speak- er had witnessed such cases over and over again. He went among all classes and the , words "God bless the Christian Commis sion" he heard on every side. All facilities for the advaneement of this organization are given by every one from President Lincoln down to the sut ler. Let nie tell you of a backslider. Trio of our agents went to Helena, Mississippi. At a meeting they requested all that were Christians to remain. Nine did SO. These were backsliders: They talked to these. Another meeting was called. The nine were promptly there with two hundred of their com rades. Several made addresses: An officer rose and said you will be astonished to hear that I was a member of church. Whenj left for war my wife told me to live near to Christ. I took the stand not to confess Christ. From that day my feet began to slip, and I' have come to be the intemperate person which you now know me to • be. Brethren, said he, I am now like the prodigal, going to return home to my father, and he did so. Are you not glad that these two agents went to that place? The speaker then related several instances which came under his ob servation in the Army of the Potomac ; of the grace which had been worked in the hearts of the - soldiers, through the instrumentality of the agents of the Christian Commission. The incidents were very affecting, and brought tears to the eyes of many. lie then said there is an exhibition on a vast scale, of what is the actual piety, of the nation. We are showing the, world, now, that the religion of the people is in the heart. We are also - exhibiting Christianity to the skeptic in a striking light. Christianity has demonstrated this day to be it pillar of the civil Government. The soldier will not rise and bless the skeptic. We are not boasting, skeptical friends. .Tesus taught us this. Skeptical fellow-eitiZens, we challenge you to bring to bear an influence upon the soldiers' hearts like ours. It is not ours, but God's. We came here to-night to ask for a million of dollars. E. S. Tobey, Esq., of Boston, was then introduced. He said that • when the war broke out he doubted as .to whether the soldiers 'Would listen to the word of God, or read the books and tracts prepared for them. He further doubted the willingness of the Christian peo la ple to got? the ti nsy b ivornta t rily . , but Thi d was l r l itty Over fi eighteen e' Plund a red a s men o t a s asre."neorlev all th 's e p a e rm e y, ministeihr. - to the spiritual wants of the soldier. Over *1,000.000' have been contributed, and wisely, too. These facts are patent to the whole country. He I believed that when the Church is bowed inlinmility to God then will come victory to our arms. He spoke of the grentresources of our country, which God holds. in His hand, and which He will, in proper time, re ; veal to this nation. His remarks were long, and explanatory of the good performed by the agents of the Christian Commission. Rev. Jos. T. Duryea, of New York, was the next speaker. He spoke of the preaching of the gospel to the soldiers and of their attention to all the words that were delivered. How, after the lights were ex tinguished for the night, they would gather together and lift up their hearts in earnest prayer to God for their country, their cominander-in-chief, their mo thers, wives, and children; and all the efforts made for the conversion of souls. He wished he could take the grasping and clutching man from Wall street and plant him among the soldiers, and he would soon return without that love of gold which he for merly had. The speaker related several af fecting incidents of the work which is going on in the army. These things, he said, go to show that you can preach the Gospel to them.- There is no man in the army-so incorrigible that cannot be broken down. He said there are three reasons why we should contribute this million of dollars. First, because these soldiers are worthy, for they love their country. Second, their dear friends at home are worthy ; and, third, because we ran have revenge by ministering to the want.`', of the rebel wounded as well as to the Union men. Rev. Dr. Newton then read the contributions that had already been received amounting in all to E. 35 000. A collection was then taken up among the audience. Dr. Junkin then handed over four half dollars, which he had received in the afternoon from a blind widow woman. A few remarks werethen made by a young chaplain who was converted through the instrumentality of an agent of the Christian Com mis:Flom A few words Were nlso spoken by Bishop Simil son. Rev. J. Wheaton Smith, and others. The whole amount raised during the evening reached nearly fifty thousand dollars. The vast audience was dismissed with the bene diction. PENNSYLVANIA S CONTRIBUTION TO THE ARMlES.—tinder the first call of the President for three months' troops, issued 15th of April, 1861, the State of Pennsylvania organized and placed in the field, within two weeks after the call was received, 25 infantry reiments, with an aggregate strength of 20,979 men. 'Under the act of Congress of July 22, 1861 four independent infantry regiments were or ganized by the Governor, embracing 4,711 men, which organizations are still in service. The Re serve Corps was organized under the act of the Le gislature of May 15th,- 1801, composing thirteen in fantry regiments. one of cavalry, and one of artil lery, with an aggregate of 15,856 men. During the hill of 1861 Governor Curtin organized and placed in the field sixty-one infantry regiments, ele ven cavalry regiments, and one of artillery, con taining 89-048 men, all of which are still i the service excepting a few organizations which were merged into other regiments. Under the call of 7th July, 1862, forty-four infantry regiments, six of cavalry, and one of artillery were organized. with 40,383 men, including eighteen - regiments of the nine-months - volunteers. They served with great credit at Antietam, Fredericksburg, and Chancel lorville, and were discharged at the expiration of their term of service. During the summer of 1862, recruits for old regiments had been mustered to the number of 9,259 men, and over 5,000 were enlisted in the regiments of other States. On the 4th of Au gust, of the same year, a draft was ordered, and fif teen regiments of drafted men were organized in this State, numbering 15,100 men. These regiments served on the coast, and were not called into action ; but they were well officered, and had attained a de gree of efficiency that would have done them credit in active operations. They were discharged at the expiration totl of nine numbermo nths.of troops, including three months men, the drafted men, and volunteers, fur nished by the State up to the 31st of December, 1862, was 200,336, and the number then actually in service—excepting deductions by the casualties of war, discharges, and desertions—was 179,357. Du ring; the year 1862 there were also several inde pendent company organizations mustered. Two batteries of heavy artillery, one of light artillery, and one company of Philadelphia artillery, were added to the service. During 1863 one full cavalry regiment was raised by Colonel Cummings for three years, an infantry regiment by Colonel - McLean, and 4,458 recruits were mustered into the old regi - ments by recruiting officers. On the 9th of June last Pennsylvania was divided into two military departments, with Generale Brooks in command In the west and General Couch in command here. In the Department of the Monongahela, there were organized for special service five regiments of infantry and cavalry, with an aggregate strength of 3,750 men, and 1,416 six months men wore also organized in companies and battalions. In the Department of the Susquehanna thirty-one infantry regiments and several battalions of Cavalry and batteries of artillery were organized to serve during the emergency, with an aggregate of 28,354 men; and three regiments of cavalry, with two battalions of infantry and three batteries of ar tillery, were organized under General Couch to serve for six months. In addition to this force we had on the border 6,335 New York militia, and 502 from - New Jersey. As the report of the Auditor General, from which we glean the aboire facts, closes with the 31st of December last, we have no record of the many enlistments made in the State within the last four months, which cannot be tar short of 50,000, and may be more. Of one thing the people of Pennsylvania may well be proud. Our State has promptly met every call made upon her for men to defend our nationality, and we thank Gen. Russell for a record that does her justice in making up the history of this war. TESTIMONIAL.—A beautiful testimonial was presented, a few evenings ago, to Professor E. D. Saunders, of the Twenty-fourth ward, by a com mittee of citizens of his immediate neighborhood, as a token of appreciation of his zealous and p_atri otic actions as chairman of the Ward Bounty-Fund Committee. The testimonial consists of a series of resolutions, handsomely engrossed, with appropriate designs, and set in a massive gilt frame, elegantly mounted with national emblems. The presentation Was made by Mr. Charles Githons, one of the com mittee, whose address and the reply of Professor Saunders were received with much feeling. The services of Professor Saunders are of such a charac ter as to entitle him to credit from not only the peo ple of his own ward, but also from those of other parts of the city, as they contributed muck to the gratifying remits which have relieved our city from. the necessity of a draft. . A HISTORICAL SOCIETY FOR DELAWARE. —The Wilmington (Del.) Institute are about or ganising a historleal society far the State of Dela ware. The ceremonies of the inamturation of such a-society will take place in the latter part of this month. Rev. Leighton Coleman, H.

The first floor was divided into two apartments, one of which was occupied by Geo. D. }ries, agent for Chas. G. Richards, engaged in the manufacture of tin and Japan ware, and the other, together with the cellar, by John Hertzler, Uglier deller, The second story was occupied by Mr. Fries as a ware room and workshop, and the third floor and attic. by Jos. A. Le Grand, japanner. The fire burned rapidly, and was not extinguished until the whole building was completely wrecked. It belonged to the Kates CState, and is insured in the Franklin Insurance Company. The stock of Mr. Hortzler was considerably damaged by fire and water. It is insured for $5,000 or $O,OOO, which will cover the loss. .Mr. Fries had a large stock on hand, which was almost all destroyed. Some of the machinery in the back part of the building escaped Injury. The stock, fixtures, machinery, &c., were valued at $7,000, upon which there is an insurance of $2,000 in the Mutual and Girard Companies. Mr. Fries also suffered the loss of his books. The loss to Mr. Lo Grand is estimated at $OOO, upon which there is no insurance. Some two hundred dollars' worth of work in his room belonging to other parties was also destroyed. No insurance. The occupants of No. 817 sustained some damage by water. First floor, L. Archambault, dry goods store, no in surance, policy having exired several days ago second floor, Geo. W. huller, picture-frame and looking glass maker, insured in the Spring Garden; third floor, Hamilton & Myers, manufacturers of picture-frames&e., insured for $5OO in the Spring Garden, which ' will chver the loss. House No. 823 was occupied by W. k T. iiikers, as a china store, Stook slightly . damaged by water, and is insured. The building belonged to the estate of Roger Brown, deceased, and is insured in the Fire Asso ciation. Several other adjoining properties were rightly damaged by water. „ INTERESTING ItEPORT.—The Union Vo lunteer Refreshment Committee report having furnished, during the month of April, 14,688 meals; quartered for the night, 2,525; and sent to the Go vernment hospitals 60 SiM: soldicrs; 11 admitted to their hospital, and 8 discharged ; 182 refugees wore received, for nearly all of whom employment has been found among our farmers.

Adams, engineer and machinist, No. 46 North Seventh street, was arraigned before his Honor Mayor 'Henry, yesterday, on a charge of entrusting his boiler and engine' to au incompetent person. ' This is an important suldect. one of the deepest interest to the residents not only of_ the neighborhood - but to - Many others. The premises occupied by -Mr. Adams extend back to the yard of the Zano-street {Public School-house, and for some time past the con troller directors, and teachers_ of the school havebecome'alarmed for tho safety of themselves and the scholars: The neighbors had obtained the knowledge that the defendant had a boy, au ap prentice, to whom he entrusted the boiler and engine. They thought that one so inexperienced was not com petent to attend to -such duties. . The explosion at. Messrs. Corneling & Baker's intensified the excitement, and the neighbors got up a protest or remonstrance to the Mayer. In order to have the question properly tested, the Mayor said that it would be necessary for some one to make an affidavit, upon - which he would issue the warrant of arrest. This was the first legal step to be taken. • Dr. Alfred B. Wright, who resides at No. 44 North Seventh, adioining the establishment of Mr. Adams, made the affidavit, and his Honor issued a, warrant, charging tire defendant "with negligently and imprn deUtly keeping upon his premises a steam engine under the management of an incompetent persoon, to the great danger of property and life and to the public nalsancer' At the hearing yesterday. Dr. Wright, J. W. Downing, James preeborn, and a number of ladies and gentlemen were examined. The lad, Patrick Barry, between sixteen 3110 StOtten. teen years old, was placed on the stand as a witness. He said that in January last lie went as an apprentice to Mr. Adams to learn the "art, trade, and mystery" of a machinist. After he had been there a few weeks the engineer was discharged and the lad was at once • Placed in the cltg43lo room, -where he had occasional In struction during the day, say au hour or or so at a time, for one week, given him by the foreman and Mr. Adams. He acknowledged that be had never read any work on steam or steam engines; bad no practical knowledge of running au engine other than that he had received du ring the week mentioned, hut said that he thought he was competent to rim an engine. Mr. - Adams said that he considered the boy was com petent to attend to his duties, under the instruction he had received; thought him as fully competent as nine tenths of the men calling themselves engineers, and quite as good as many who even now wear the naval uniform; that besides this, he (Mr. Adams) and tire fore man had supervisory care of the boiler and engine. The lad stated that he generally got to the shop at slit o'clock in the morning; would fire up, and start the en gine; the foreman would come there an hour or so after- wails, look at the boiler, and then go up stairs to at tend to Iris business. On some occasions, when the lad Was lent away on business, then his place would he Supplied by another boy. These are the facts iu brief, as developed by the investigation. Tiro Mayor said that he would hold the case under ad visement until to-morrow, and in the meantime would examine it in all its legal bearings. He would further say, as a principle of law, that had this boner exploded and caused loss of human life, such evidence before the coroner's jury,Nuch as has been elicited to-day, would warrant that officer in holding the defeudzint answer the charge of manslaughter. The case here closed. • [Before Kr. 11. S. CommisAioner A. if. Smith.) Spurious Notes. Samuel Co!Minton was arraigned yesterday afternoon on the charge of having three one-dollar U, Treasury notes, altered into tens, in his possession. He was ar rested for drnnkenuess on Monday night, in the upper port of the city, and these notes were found upon him. He was so much under the influence of liquor yester day that the investigation was postponed until tomor row. [Befone Mr. Alderman Ogle.] Judge Thompson has his Pocket Picked. Two well-known professional thieve-,named John Thackara, alias Whitey, and David Mcarland, alias John 'Williams, were arraigned at the Control Station yesterday afternoon on the charge of being implicated in picking the pocket of the Hon. Oswald Thompson, president judge of the Court of Quarter. Sessions. Judge Thompson testified that at about half-past eleven o'cloak on Monday night he and four ladies entered a Pine street car going westwardly; the rain was falling very fast; shortly atter this several persons got on the back platform of the cart upon reaching a. point between: Sixth and Seventh street the judge desired to get out, but the crowd did not evince a disposition to make room • after some difficulty he effected a landing in the 'street, got the ladies out, and went into the house, but never missed his pocket-book until yesterday morning. Detective Henderson happened to be on the front plat form of the ear, and hearing the noise, went back, and saw McFarland and another working upon the judge; Thackara was drunk and sittingon the platform near the step. These two were arrested at once. The fellow who got the pocket-book escaped. It contained only two or three dollars. The parties were committed in default 0f*5'2,009 bail each to answer. The Prisoners were recently released from prison, having served five years, one in the penitentiary at Chicago, the other in Cherry Hill, Larceny Case.

The prosecu tor testified that on the occasion of a social visit to a Inger beer saloon on Third street, up town, he was, without Provocation, act upon by the defendants and beaten. E'or the defence it was attempted to be shown that when Captain Binder mitered the saloon he began a disturbance by engaging in a political discussion, iii the course of which he eulogized Yallandigham as a gentleman, and a better man than President-Lincoln, and stigmatized the dereightuts as " hl - wk-snakes,'' woolly-heed, , ," &c.
