Ills Appearance in Court. EMPANELLING THE JURY Scenes in and About the Hall of Justice. THE PRELIMINARY ARRANGEMENTS. Full Report of the Proceed ings This Morning. THE EVIDENCE IN DETAIL. Important New Developments Etc. Mate, .EtO., :to., isto. Special Report for The Evening Telegraph. Since the celebrated tiial of Arthur Spring, noth- iri(r of the kiud has so excited the popular mind aa tbe arraignment of Frobst, tbis morning, to auswor bis BondiKti deeds. Sutb ttroot, below Cbosnut, Chesnut street, be low S.xtb, and ovcry entrance-war leading to tbe Court room, was blocked up witb an excited popu lace, all ictont on Rotting a view of the prisoner's face, or an insigbt into tbe interior of tke Court room wbere the question of nig luture fate will be determined. 1 he Court room Itself was moderately crowdol. There were few, who bad eltbet a real or assumed rlKlit to enter within its waiia, that did not at least attempt to sain atmiseiou, but, ol course, hundreds were disappointed. Probst, the Bolf-confessed murderer, roaohed the court house in tbe prison van, shortly before the time for opening the Court. He was dressed In his convict suit, and looked pale and haggard. Witb some dlffloulty he was escortod to the prisoners' box, and became tho centre ot attraciion alter be reached there. Ibe Square was kept entirely clear of people. Folicemeu were stationed at each gate of the Square to prevent the entrance of anybody, and those having" a right to enter the court-room could only do so by passing through one ot tho doors near the office of the Clerk ot Quarter Sessions, on Cbeanut Btroeti and Irom thence into the back door of tbe court-bou-e. The prisoner was brought Into court by way of the Square, tho prison ran conroylnf, the prisoner coming up Fifth street and stopping at the south gato of the bquare; by this moans tbe surging crowd bo anxiously waiting on Sixth sireot, and aicnd tbe court-room, were avoided. No persons were admitted to the court-room except those directly interested in tbe case. The police arrangomonts were so perfect that no one except tboso bar ing a close relation in some way with the ease oould possibly soo u re an entrance. So striot was the order, that our repoiterwas unable to obtain admission until he bad prored his identity. The rule was a good one, and we hope will be observed during the whole trial. The curio-ity that urges persons to look at noted criminals is simply a morbid one, and should be stopped ii is possible. During the interim betweon tbe opening of the Court-room doors for tbe admission ot judges, mem bers ol the bar, witnesses, etc., uutil tbe commence ment of tbe trial, speculation was rite as to what appearance the prisoner would present on his en tiance into tbe presence of the tribunal that would try him ior bis lite. His arrival was nervous y an ticipates At last a num or roioes on tne outside oi tbe building gave evidence that the prisoner was on band. Lie entered tbe court-room without any ap parent concern, ana taking bis seat in the prisoners' box, glanced, iurtirelyl around at tbe assembled multitude. Probst presents about the same appearance he did on last Wednesday, wbon brought up fur arraign ment. At 10 o'clock exactly the Clerk opened the Court with tbe usual "Oyez " etc , and at tbe same moment Judges Allison and Pierce took their seats. The Clerk then read tbe names of tbe empaunolled jurors. J t was some minutes oeiore comp ete order couiu do maintained in rue room, o wing to uiu ao- sire ot each and every person entering to press lor ward to obtain a glance at tho prisoner's lao. We may state bore, by way of pareutbesis, that the want ot a new court-room was painluliy apparent this morning. It was some timo even before the counsel for the prisoner ooulu get accomn odated with chairs and a table. Mr. Maun opened tbe case; be said on tbe 18th of this month the Grand Inquest brought into this Court eight bills ot indictment, and on each bill the prisoner at the bar was arraigned tor trial. 1 lie pri soner aid not plead. Time was allowed bun to outer his plea, and he now called upon tue prisoner to an Bwur wheiher he Is ready to plead. lir. O'Neill, counsel lor the prisoner, then stated that tb 'prisoner was prepared to plead The bills of indictment were then again read by Mr. tieorge W. Moore, the olerk of tbe Couit, and when asked Ibe question whether be was guilty or not guilty, tbe prisoner stated indistinct tonus, ' Not guilty " Tho Clerk then said, "flow will you be tried f" The prisoner then said, "By God and my eountrv !" The Clerk then said, "Miy liod scud you sate deliverance!" II r. Maun then said the prisoner was guilty, and moved a trial tor bis l ie. Some unl nportant for malities were then gone tbroaga witb by tr. Mann and the counsel for tbe prisoner. Mr. Mann then asked permission to call a jar to try the cose. Ibe Judges coulerred together lor a few moinuuts am a deepslleuce, wuon dodge Allison said that tbe bill to which the prisoner pieaded gui'.ty suould bn dis posed ot before sotiou. was takeu on anof tha, others Mr. O'Ueill then said that his client was willing to plead ytiilty to the bill of indictment charging him with tbo murder of Cornelius Carey, aud that it as not neoeesarr to further occupy the time of the court to enter proceedings on any of the otiier bins. Judee All inn n said it was the prorinoe of the Dis trict Attorney to call up the bills iu tbe order be Chose. Tbe Clerk then told the prisoner that a jury would be calkd tor his trial, and that be (the prisoner! had right to challenge, peremptorily, any twenty of mem. in. prisoner, WHO was aiauaing op v ine uuio, simply ooweu nis neaa ana s uowu, , UPAflBLUBa OFTHS JURY.

The Situation on Board the Hospital Ship-Ten new cases on Board the ,llllnols,,-The "Eng-land"-Offlclal Report-Elghty-two Cases In the Hospital on Monday' Morning. Communication with the Virginia and the bccpitul ships In the Lower Quarantine Is lxth Uiflicult and Irregular, and generally tbe in lormation is twenty-tour hours behind band.

The cool weather of yesterday was rather favorable than otherwise to the treatment of the disca'e, and if the cold F-pell of yesterday ehojld con tinue for a few days longer the seeds of tbe pes tilence will no doubt be trampled out. Up to 10 o'clock on Monday morning 10 new cawed of cholera occurred on board the Illinoit, all of which were removed to the hospital ship.

BtasBLL, Deputy Health Officer. The Cholera Ship. The following prirate letter from a young lady passenger 6n board the steamship Virginia i Drout'nout nor recent latai voyage and nor de tention in our harbor will be read with vivid, painful interest. Of course, her strictures on our quarantine arrangements are harsh ; but are they not natu ral? The burning of our Quarantine buildings on Staten Island was a disgrace to civilization ; tho refusal of New Jersey to allow us to recon struct them on the desolate sbiidspit known as Bandy Hook is scarcely less inhumanly selfish and cowardly. These no not fairly excuse, but they explain, our long delay in rebuilding. We have not rebuilt our quarantine establishment, simply because we could find no place whereon to cio it out one which New jersey meanly re fused cs. And our new Health Commission had not time to prepare for the apprehended visita tion before It was actually upon us. Such is tbe simple trutn. Ana now to tne letter: New Tor Harbor, Stbakshiv "Vibqiiua," April 20, 1866 Dear Unoie: You bare seen br toe papers that we are Quarantined ou account of cboiera among our steerage passengers. We bare had a terrible roiage. Tbe disease appeared the eighth day out, and deaths occurred daily, four and fix at a time finding grares at sea. It was awful I But 1 am of brare-hearted stock, and hare had no dread or tear. W e , ot the cabin are in perfect health ; but hare, of course, suffered great anxieties, which we sup posed ended, wben, on Wednesday afternoon, at three o'c'ock, we happily entered New York Bar. ilow we bare suffered since agonies ot suspense, while the inelBcieut "New York Board of Health" discussed our state, and left us totally alone in our misery! It was barbarous, iuhuman. About an hour alter ovr arrival at tbe Quarantine rrounds, tbe offi cers obeyed our signals, and two came out and inves tigated tbe state of the ship, then left. Then two more came out, and they also investigated and left, sending out to us, however, as succor in our great need, x barrels of sawdust ; and since that time, lor thirty- six long hours, not a soul has approaolied as, till just now, a couple ot mild individuals are hav.ug tbe sick removed to a hulk they bare titled no for their reception. We remained through Wed nesday night where we first anohored, expecting, of course, to bear Irom the shore; and next morning went, br orders given by the Health Officers during their visit, out to sea a few miles went in tear and trepidation; for twice we were in peril of a mutiny among our steerage passengers. We fired guns lor aid to come. No response was made; all the world seemed careless ot the ship they must hare known was in trouble, as well as infected. The hours were agonizingly long. Dar and night the passengers thronged the decks,:refusing to eo bolow; aud, oh! such sad sights as 1 have soen ! We could not burr our recent dead, and in tbe hot sun we towed them behind the ship. You know t-iore are oortain regulations about buria s in a harbor. I am ashamed of New York citr and our country. Why wore they not prepared, wben all America nas anticipated the cholera this sprint? and why has not a quarantine building replaced the one two years ago burned? W hy could not the New York Board ol Health hare convened before 8 o'clock yesterday alternoon? No other nation oould be so slow, or so nuprepare i, and it seems as if no civilized race of people could so ignore distress as tbe New Yorkers bare done iu the case of tbe Virginia; and now. if you oould see tbe manner in which the poor sick aro being taken aboard the bulk I Instead of bringing it to us, our great steamer had to get up stoam and eouie in. Then, as the bulk is not iu deep wai ir.eaori poor crea ture has to be lowered orer the ship's side, in a tub chair, into the one small row-boat sent for this dutr. aud at the hulk hauled up again. My heart is tortured by the sights, and groans, and cries. One poor woman died Just now, during the prooes. Had the hulk come to our ship's side tlier would hare been gently carried aboard. It i now atternoon, aud in this tedious manner the really lew sick may by night, be disposed of. What do you think of it? Our cap tain is now using his boats too; butl suppose the w ret ones who are to get three dollars tor cairylug each person do not approve of this course. The other bulk, which is to receive the well of the steer aro, has not ret appeared, and the poor people are desperate. We of the cabin may remain here a day oi two, as our quarters are pure and sate. The New York papers are here, full or sensa tional writing aud falsities, lor they speak of "vege tables and provisions," eto , sent to m. One would imagine a constant communication was kept up with us. Our good Captain l'rowse n a man I shall ever respect, tor no one could have done more than be. Dar and night lis anxieties have weigued upon him; four times in a night has be given propor burial to the d ad: and tins treatment here isalmoit too much lor him to bear. He expects much trouble Irom the steeraire passunireis in regard to every thing, hinueif, the shio. tbe food, everything; lor nothing could satisfy them. He organized a tran quilizing committee among t'tem, and of tbeunelres, and they are better to-dar ; but tney were like a' powder magazine. Ibis is au experience I shall long remember. 1 am glad the Health Committee has even managed to do tbis little servioe to day. It is well to have an opportunity to seud letters and got brandy, etc.; tor r.'uiost ail is rone. The dead ot last Tuesdar are yet in our little boat, but the Health Oflioert have It now tied lo tbe hulk. The sun is powerful It is Quite summer-like ,. . , , . ... Captain Prowse should hare Justice. All this delay, the steerage, ot course, blame to him, while he is utterlv helpless la the hands of th New York Commissioners I now understand "red tape." louly hope we shall get the steerage passengers carried off before there is a riot (they're noisy now. It seems long lime since we arrlred ; but tt is only forty-elgnt rery long hours. When all is arranged, I can patient Ir await the end of the quarantine. In dignation Is my present sensation.

A Hew Loan. The Secretary of the Treas ury is considering the proposition ot putting a five per cent long loun on the market as a means of retiring our rapidly maturing obligations. Such has been tne successful arrangement of our finances, and the faith of the American people in the national securities, that such a loan is deemed warranted, nd is thought to promise success by many of the best financiers in Congress. Tbe Secretary has ail the requisite legal authority, and it is understood to be only the question of expediency which now claims his consideration. Th Beeonstraetlon Committee. The numerous detailed statements as to what the Reconstruction Committee will or will not report are totally untrustworthy, although they may emanate from a member of that Com mittee, as It generally apprehended tbey do.

Mr. Von Bonhurst, President Lincoln's ap pointee as Postmaster at Pittsburg, has been Temored, and Wade Hampton, relative of the Rebel General of that name, is appointed to his place. Mr. Von Bonhurst is one of the most efficient and popular officers in the whole Post Ottice organization, and was indorsed by the Republican party of his district, as well as the Pennsylvania House delegates In Congress, and his removal causes general regret and indig nation. This removal of Mr. Von Bonhurst was also made over the head and without the know ledge of tbe Postmaster-General. The first he and his assistant knew ot it was the reception yesterday of a card of thanks from some ot the Copperheads of Pittsburg to the President and Postmaster-General for the appointment of Mr. Wade Hampton. They at first regarded it as a "sell," and a certain very conservative Iowa Senrtor was quite indignant at the perpetrators thereof. Cly Wllaon. When Clement C. Clay was released, the Pre sident furnished to the Associated Press agent here the statement that, among others who asked it, tbe Hon. Henry Wilson has no hesita tion in recommending the release of Clay upon parole, and has no doubt that he will be forth coming wben his presence is required by the Government. This, Senator Wilson feels, is an unwarranted statement, and he has accordingly sent to the President for a copy of the letter, which shows that Mr. Wilson's recommendation was written near two months ago, and not at all Justifying the interpretation put upon it uow. He expressly disavows his intention not to inter fere if there was evidence against him of which he knew nothing. It will also be observed that tue President did not act upon this letter: United Status Sknatb Chambkb, Washing ton, March 8, 18tki. The President of the United States Kir: Mrs. Clar, tae wile of Clement C, ( lay, Is now in the oity, and has requested me to obtain permission ior her husuand to go to bis bomi on parole. His lather is said to be at tbe point of death, and bis mother reoentlr deoessed; and, if there be no objections or reasens unknown to me why tbe request of Mrs. Clay should be douled, I bare no hesitation in recommending its far arable consideration, if only from motires ot humaultr, as I bare uo doubt Mr Clay will be forthcoming when his piesence is again required br the Government.
