Judge Vredenburgn presiding. Messrs. Garnet B. Adrian and William II. I..cupp appeared on behalf of the prisoner, and Major Charles M. Herbert, the newly appointed and efuotent l'rosecntor of the Pleas, lor the State. Nathan Van was the first witness examined, who ren dered testimony bearing mainly upon the fact of his having made a wooden model of tbe house where the murder was fierpetrated, showing the apartments and urnllure therein, and of having prepared a diagram of the neighborhood. Considerable time having been consumed in impannelling the Jury and by tbe deposition of the (surveyor, the Court adjourned until 'Zi V. M. Upon re- - assembling, Dr.Wllltam W, Corlell, husband Of the deceased, was called to the stand, and toeing sworn, teslltled as follows: I resided, on XheiiGlbof February last, in Newmarket, Mid dlesex county: my family comprised my wife, my child, A. C. Bush, Bridget Dergan, and my- , self; my wife's name was Mary Ellen Corteil; I -left borne that clay about Wi, o'clock in the evening; I left there my wlio, child, Brtdvret Ptrgan, and I think Ellen Doyle; Bridget Dergan came to my house on tbe H2d of October last lor the first time; sho remained with me until about the iloth of February, with the exception of two or three days' alsenee iu New York, I think; she was in rny employ up to thai time us a domestic or seivanl; 1 discharged her; I told my wife t tell her to leave when the mouth was up (ob jected to, and the objection was sustained); I - did not hear anything said about Bridget's dis charge in her presence; I have never heard Bridget say anything about it since; when X left my house that night my wl'e was ailve. (A wooden model of the dwelling was here 'shown to witness, who gave a description of the apartments, and explained the relative position of the dlflerent uoors and passages.) ; The bed-room of the defendant was In tbe gar- i ret, over the sitting-room; there is no conuee Uon between the bed-room of the defendant and tbe main part of tbe house, upstairs; in tbe room in which witness and his wife slept there was a bureau, upon which the lamp was usually placed; the bureau contained some papers, and some clothing; it contained on the 26tb of February last two or three books, a . ledger, some miscellaneous books, and about fflO in paper money; I generally kept money in the secretary; I do not know whether that faot was known to the defendant; I do not know as I have ever taken money from tbe secretary In her presence; ray child usually retired about half-past 7 o'clock at nlgnt. (A dress, ragged, dirty, and covered with small feathers, was here shown witness.) That dress I have seen before; it was my wife's dress; it was the dress 1 she had on that day while panting some paper; It had been thrown aside; when I left the house she had removed that dress. (A knife was presented to Dr. Corlell, the blade of .. which was about Ave inches In length, and considerably bent.) I remember I saw that ' kniie on the 25th of February last; I used It that day to cut some ham with for cooking; at that time it was not bent as it is - now; I had had it ground by one of the butchers to out 'meat with; I left word when going away that if I did not return by bedtime f would not return until morning; this was said in the pre- . Bence of tbe defendant, who was in tbe kitchen, , and tbe door was open; when I left borne I went to Louis CutTs, about two miles below Newmarket; I returned beouuse I received word of tbe occurrence at my house; a lad named It u tan brought me word; it was about mid night; I returned to my house, and inquired for my wife, and was Bhown the bed; they said - they bad removed her to a neighbor's, Mr. Hlilyer's; I went there, and saw the body of my wife; remained afew moments; my wile was then dead; when I went In I inquired for the child, and saw Bridget have the child in her arms: I inquired of Bridget about tbe murder of my wife; she told me that two men baa called , there about o'clock In the evening; tbey in quired for roe; my wife told them I had gone down to Piscataway, and told them where I was; these men said they would go and find me; tbey returned at about 10g o'clock; Bridget went to the door, snd before she opened it Mrs. Corlell called for her to run for the doctor; I asked Bridget If she went back to the room after ' that, and she said no; X asked her If the same men returned; she said they did, and that she would recognize one of then; 1 had another conversation with her before daylight the next ' morning; her answers were very confused; I told her that she knew something about the murder, but she made no direct reply; I began to have suspicions that she knew some thing about tbe transaction; I was then at Mr. Little's house; they said there were marks of teeth on my wife's neck and face, and scratches and bruises, showing that it had been a long struggle, and the work of a woman; Bridget said the men were Barney Doyle and . Hunt; X saw her on the following day, the 20th of February; she sunt for me to come to her cell In the jail, that she wanted to make a state ment to nie: I went there with Mr. John W. Morris; I asked Bridget if she had anything to say ? she simply told me that she did not say all; that there was another girl, Ann, whollved at the railroad station, who did the deed: I ald.youtoJd me that Doyle and Hunt were there, and now she said Ann was there too; she replied that Ann went and brought the knife; the others stood by; the last conversation was ' ontbeb'tb, in the presence of Mr. Morris; she ' said that Ann had come for a drink of water, bad gone to the pall, got a drink, seized the butcher-knife, and then attacked Mrs. Corlell, and these two men were present giving en couragement to the transaction; X went to the prison on the 18th or 20th of March, In company with Mr. Squire and Mr. Kunyon; I asked Bridget where she had lived before, and she said in Brooklyn; I waited some time, but sbe only told the same story that she met Doyle and Hunt In the street, that they had taken several oaths and kissed the Bible, that they would never divulge anything of that transaction; ray wife was thlrty-two years of age- bad been married nine years, and had ' lived In Newmarket since I came from the army. Upon his cross-examination witness sold: Bridget had lived with us four months and three days; she was quiet and peaceable during that time; she had been quite sick with suppression of the menses; my wife bad done everything for her, and X luruisbed medicine; we had talked of her leaving, and she did not want to go, she would rather stay at a lower ' anlarr; my wife did not like her, as she was too nltby in her habits; I told my wlfeto tell hershe had better stay afew days longer, until she got Serfeclly well, before venturing to New York; I ad confidence In her honesty, and had left her several tiroes In charge of niy child and the house; I did not form my suspicion by any thing I had been told, but thought from her actions, ana hesitation In answering my ques tions, she knew all about the ooourreuoe; she bad been troubled with catalepsy, caused by the suppression, and if the flow was stroug enough, the blood might have stained her skirts: she had five or six fits during the three days she remained with us, and after they passed offshe was perfectly well again: I had tisited her before she came to live with me. and she had the tits then; they were removed with- slight remedies, and she recovered after two or three days; it may be that catalepsy might lead to insanity. A re-dlreol examlna- tlou was held to determine the condition in which these nts would leave tne patient, . Dr. Corlell thought It only produced a loss of muscular power and con sciousness; H was an notion by eccentric acts, and was produced by sympathetic Irritation. After the conclusion of the Doctor's testimony, bis cousin. Israel K. Corlell. was placed upon thl stand, and deposed mainly of his being wiled up at 12 o'clock on the night of tne -ioth S?

OBITUARY. JOBEBT DK LAMBALI.B. Antoine Joseph Jobert de Lamballe, the cele brated French surgeon, died In Tarl about the 1st of May. He was born at Lamballe, In the Department of Cotes-du-Nord, in 1791, and dur ing bis long and brilliant career as a practi tioner and professor In the French capital, won a reputation hardly surpassed by that of any phystclan In the world. He was surgeon in ordinary to the first Nopoleon, succeeded Magendie In the Academy of Sciences, and was named In 1640 commander In the Legion of Honor. He was the author of a number of important works on surrery, among whloh may be men tioned his "Theory and Practice of Surgical Disorders of the Iulestlnal Canal," a treatise which received a prlee from the Institute; "Studies on the Nervous System;" "Treatise on Plastic Surgery;" end "Researches on the Texture of the Uteruo," a branch of physiology to which he devoted especial attention. For the Inst eighteen months before his death his mind bad been affected, and one of bis last actions was a singular exhibition of insanity. A poor man came to him at the hospital with a sore finger. The great surgeon looked at It Intently for a moment, and then burst out In a loud voice, "The arm must come oil immediately; we have thirty-two m lltods of amputation the Polish, the Turkish, the English, the German, and many others. Away with you to the amphitheatre. 1 sliull be there in one moment and take you ofT that arm, either strnightways, or slanting, or lengthways, or by a single blow. Away with you, I say. Lay yourself down on the operation table, and I will do the Job my self." He rushed away, leaving the patient pa e and gasping with terror. Presently the clang of the creat bell which snmmonsthe stu dents to witness an operation brought t ie whole of the young men to the spot, but Jobert de Lnraballe Lad already exhausted that emo tion, and leavlDg the bell had rushed across the . ll. ........ 1 ....

GENERAL DEMETRIUS KALERttlg. The Athenscorrespondenceof the London Post announces the death of General Kalergls, who had recently been appointed Greek Envoy to tbe United fates, but while on the way to the place of his i.estlnatlon bad been taken sick lu Paris, from wbere, upon the urgent advice of tbe physicians, he had returned to Athens. General Kalergls was a native of the Island of Crete, where he was was born in 1803 or 1S0J. He took a promlneut part In the war of Inde pendence, in which he was seriously wounded. After this war he at first was counted among tbe Naplans or Russian party, which he, how ever, soon left In order to lean upon England and France. He whs the chief leader of the revolution of 1843, and by his flrmners greatly contributed to the safety of the Royal family. General Kalergls has ever since been one of the most influential statesmen of Greece, aud he was, therefore, selected as one of the extraor.ti naiv envoys to the creat Christian noweus to implore their aid In behalf of Candla. PARIS EXHIBITION PICKPOCKETS, GRAND TRIAL OF SKILL BETWEEN ENGLISH AND FRENCH THIEVES HOW J0H2C BULL LOST BY HIS INTEMPERANCE, ETC. ETC. Paris Correspondence Ijnulon Advertier, of if a 7. The mrst successful demonstration of Urlllsh Industry that has as yet been developed by the exhibition has been displayed by British pick pockets. In tbe an of "faking a cly" they are unrivalled, and to this valuable acquirement they have now added that of eluding the vigi lance of the sergens de ville, and of the private policemen, who lurk in plain clothes in places where they are least expected. Since competi tion Is so much In fashion In everything nowa daysa trial of strength and skill has of late come off between the French and English thieves. The former were stung with maddened Jealousy at bearing the complaints of lost watches and purses, and challenged their rivals to a confllot, which came off a few days since. Seven English and seven French thieves started on their predatory expedition through tbe exhibition, and agreed to meet at acaeintbe boulevards, or rather at a restau rateur's, where they had previously engaged a cabinet particulier, and had ordered a supper to be "stood" by the vanquished. They met at the appointed hour, and you will be proud of your countrj men's superiority when you learu thst they triumphant! displayed forty-five watches and nine portemonnales. whereas tbe French tyros In the noble art could display but ten watchex, three portemonnales, and half-a-dozen handkerchiefs, "small deer," which are dlMlaintd by the professed pickpocket, and are only "faked" during a novitiate In the profes sion. They magnanimously avowed them selves vanquished, and agreed to recognize the superiority of the victors in the form most pleasing to them, by standing half-a-doscen of champagne, followed by bowls of blazing punch In quick succession. Up to this stage all had been highly gratify ing to our national pride, but the hour of Britain's humiliation was drawing nigh. Our countrymen fell under tbe table; their hosts, though they bad not read the tale of FalstaOs disaster at Gadshill, fell upon their prostrate foeB, eased them of their plunder, and retired In triumph with toe forty-five watches, the purses, etc, and, moreover, loft the waiters in structions to apply for payment of the bill to the gentlemen up stairs on the floor. The French, Academy Elections, We noticed a lew days since the manner in which the vote of M. de Falloux Is said to have been secured for M. Favre. By a singular chance tbe duty devolves upon M. de Falloux of presenting the new member to the Emperor. Remembering the bitter political eumity between these gentlemen, the situation appears whimsical. The Steele cordially approves the election ot M. Favre, and quite as cordially denounces that of Father Gratry. It is, indeed, a curious freak of accident thai a priest tbould fill the chair once filled by Voliaire. It is reported that the vote on M. Favre's election stood as follows: For M. Favre MM. Thiers, Guizot, Mlgnet, Saint-Marc Girardin, Vitet, de Itemusat, Duko de Noailles. de Montalembert, Berrjer, Legouve, Duke de Broglie, de Falloux, de Laprade, Albert de Broglie, de Came, Du'aure, Prevost-Paradol, Cuviller-Fleury 18.

TIIE FRENCH TURF. 0RAKD MEETING AT CHANTILLY RACE FOR THE FRENCH DERBY PATR1CIEN THE WINNER THE CROWNED HEADS ON THE "ROAD," AND A BRIL LIANT SCENE, ETC. Chantilly Coursb,. Taris, May 19. There was a grand assemblage on the turf at this place to-day (Sunday), to witness the contest for the gTeat racing event of the empire the French Derby. Ten thousand people at least were present on the grounds, all bent on en joyment, and every one in the most excellent humor. The royal visitors in the French capital were represented on the "road" and at the great stand by the King and Queen of the Belgians, and it may be said that the whole fashionable world of Paris turned out for the occasion. There were a great many English and Americans also on the ground. The weather was cloudy in the morning, hut re mained favorable to the sport to the close. Thirteen horses ran for the Derby, which was won by M. H. Delamarre's Patrioien, There were five races. The following were the leading starters for the Derby: M. II. Delamarre's Praticien, Count F. De Lagrange's Montgoubert, Count F. De Lagrange's Trocadero, Major Fridolin's Ferragas, M. Montgomery's Fervacques, Count F. De Lagrange's Dragon, M. A. Fould's Milan, M. Aumont's Flambant, Duke of Fitz James' Reallte, Count F. De Lagrange's La Fert6 Fresnil. The betting had been very animate I for some three weeks, and Montgoubert has been first favorite in the rooms. The betting generally was against the winner, Patrioisn. The scene at the starting post was very brilliant; and when Patricien came in ahead at the winning Hand, beating all the favorites, it was one of the most joyous and extraordi nary excitement. FROM BUFFALO. Another Extensive Fire Incendiaries at Work. SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THK EVENING TELBOBAPH. Buffalo, May 21, 18(17. A few momeuls after 11 o'clock last night, a Are was discovered In the large five-story brown stone front building, No. 191 Main street, direotly opposite the theatre. It was, without a doubt, the work of design. The fire was, tbanns to the energy of the fire" men, confined wholly to tbe story In whloh it originated, though the contents of the lower floors were more or less damaged by water. The smoke was first seen comlug from the roof by one of tbe altaohes of tha theatre, op posite, and soon the whole upper floor was In a blaze. This story was occupied by Charles Day as a paper-box manufactory, and resulted in a total destruction of bis iooIb, raaohinery, and stock, loss 11000, upon which there was no Insurance. Xhis Is the only floor damaged by fire. Davis Si Waldron, paper collar manufac turers, occupied the floor immediately beneat h. Their loss, ?.i."00, is principally by water.

THE BARKER HOMICinB). COURT OF OYlvR AND TKKAlINER Jndsres Alllhoo and Plerc.'. The Court met at 3 o'clock yes terday alternooD, and Mr. Dwlght having made his cpeDlng belore the rectsa, the exumiuailou of wit nesses was begun. Coroner Daniels and Dr. BhaplelKh having been examined In regard to Ibe pont-morlem examination t nd lnqiet, '1 humus Wood, an old resident la Barker s neighborhood, was called. He teslltled that he knew H rker and Johnson, and had aeeu theui when llieycauie to Rnrker's bouse that afternoon; both were verv drunk; Barker entered the bouse llrnl, and Johnson followed Iu a few minutes; Burker spoke to Jabnson wlien be came In, aa) log: "Jobuson. are you going to gh e me thut thir.g?" and receiving no answer, went up suirs; he soon came down stairs with a gun In his bund, and. standing at the door, spoke to Jolitsc n BRHln; he said: "Johnson. If yoa don't give me satisfaction I'll warm you;" the witness wont out of tbe bouse at this moment, and up u shutting tho door be beard the report of a gun: be looked Into tbe loom about twenty minutes alter that, and saw John son kitting on ibe settee, but, not having touched or spoken to him, didn't kuow whether be was dead or not. Cecilia Bel by, who llves'on Barker's place, testified that sbe heard a nenv v lull and tbe report of the gun at tbe same tmie; upon goiug into the room she found Johnson lying upon a settee wounded In the stomach, bleeding, and unconscious; she went up stairs and saw Barker with his band bleeding, as Ir It bad been skinned; sbe asked him bow be bruised bis band, and lie said be Old It by fulling; she then said: ''Ii you tell, Johns' n got the coutenls ol that gun:" and be replied that be bad not shot Joliuson; the witness went wlili Baiker lo tbe Aldvruiau's ollloe to give bimselt up: be was very drunk. Oilicer Klllot teslltled ihat Barker told blm Johnson bad lso belonging lo blm; he demanded it and Johu son reluned to (rive It up; be Ibeu used his gun and "cut blm accordingly.1' Here ibe Commonwealth closed. Ti e prisoner's counsel, upon opening, said he could safely rely upon tbe Commonwealth case for an acquittal, but iu Justice to the prisoner, he would make It more sate. The prisoner's previous gool character for pea eand quiet would be shown; also thedrunken condition of the prisoner and deceased, who were always on the most friendly terms; audit would afso he proven that prisoner had tne gun with bltn before he and Johnson had gone Into tne house. John Morgau testified that he saw the prisoner and deceased a short time before the shooting, aud tbey were very drunk; Barker then bad tbe gun. A number ol witnesses as to good character were examined, and the Court adjourned until this niorulug. . THIS MORNING'S PROCEEDINGS, Tbe defense closed this morning, without offering more testimony. T. B. Dwlgbt, Assistant District Attornev. ODeijed the aruument of the Common wealth's case, lie held that the prisoner's defense . was iwo-ioio nrsi, mat tne snooting was uuuiueiuu and second, that If It was not accldeutal, ths prison', was deprived of reason by Intoxicating drink, and was not accountable lor bis action. The evidence was then argued to show that It was not accldeutal. but that it was the result of the prisoner's will aud In tention. Then the testimony was gone over, and It was h' i that tbe defendant's actions bespoke reason. A id If tbe jury found that the mind or the prisoner was clear at the time of the shooting, tbe verdict limit oe guilty of murder In the first decree. Aud eveu If he was somewhat under the luttuence of Ik or, ou the testimony of OIHcer tslook, a sober, credible mun, tho verdict must be murder In tbe secoud degree, for be testified that Barker told blm what ho had done; that he bad demanded his money of Johnson, uud on being refused, "cut htm accordingly." Mr. Dwlght told the Jury tbat It was their duty to decide the degree of crime; and all throughout bis able argument seemed to press rather for a verdict ol murder In the second degree than any oilier. Counsel lor the defense followed, arguing that the Commonwealth's witnesses were incredible. Mr. Mann argued, from the accounts of the pris oner's actions as given by the witnesses, that he knew what be wu doing w hen he fired I lie gun; but he did not realize that ha had committed so leal ful a crme as murder until it was too late. He was then reneu teut, willing to atone for his etleose, and willing that ibe case should be tried, as It has been. But the matter of accident In this case was treated as a literal myth. bllll the District Attorney admitted Ihat the condi tion of tbe prisoner's mind at tbe time of the shoot ing should be well considered, tor a man without rea son should not be convicted of a crime which Is the result of reason. And a verdict of murder la the second degree was principally asked for, Tbe charge of tbe Court was delivered by bis honor, Judge Allison, and tbe case was given to tbe Jury. Alter a abort deliberation tbe jury returned, and rendered a verdict of guilty of murder Iu the second degree, and recommended tbe pruiouer to the mercy f the Court. UJCITKD STATES DISTRICT COURT-Judge Cadwalader. The Court met this morning to begin the business and to dispose of such bills us had been found by the Grand Jury. The DUtilct Attorney stated that there were several cases in which tbe United htates were ready for trial, but In all hut one, counsel representing tbe delense were auseut or otherwise unable to attend. 1 he case of tbe United Htates vs. Henry Stewart, Charged with passing counterfeit uiouey, was called. L. C. Cassldy, counsel for the defendant, applied for a continuance la order to give him lime to prepare his case. His Honor Judge Codwatader said that though It was the custom In the suite courts la accommodate counsel when It appeared that there wasc iuso or so doing, such wns tiot tbe caso In this Court, whose huHness Is so limited: for In the (State Courts, where there Is always a rush of business, these continuances cause Utile or no Inconvenience; and in Die United Htates Courts tbey always caused Incouvenienca and expense; but In this case, the District Attorney not ejecting, the application was granted. 'there being no other business to be taken up, the Jury was aiucbarked until to-morrow morning at ia o'clock, . FINANCE AND COMMERCE. . OrFiCE or ths Evening Tki.kobapk,!
