Coukt of Oyer and Terminer Judges Allison aud I'elrce. The Court met this morn- lug lor the purpose of resuming the trial of nomlclde cases, a nuinuer oi wuicu, notwith standing the labors of the District Attorney during the preceding part of this long session of Ger and Terminer, remain yet to be dis posed of. The case of Jos. M. Donahue, oharged with the murder of James Dempsey on the lliU H slant was called; but counsel for the prisoner represented to their Honors that they had not had snmcient lime to prepare me ueiunae, ana nKicri therefore, that the trial should be post poned for two weeks; but they having laid no legal grounds for such an application, the Dis trict Attorney opposed it, consenting, however, to continue the case until Thursday next, which proposition met the approval of the Court, and hud to be accepted by counsel lor the prisoner. The case of the Commonwealth vs. Hagan was next called for trial, and tbe defense being prepaied a jury was called and sworn. Tbe pi boner, ayoang man. Is charged with the murder of Frederick Winter on the 13th of Oo tobtr last, under the following clrcumstau c(s: As Mr. Winter on the day In question was crossing at Beventh aud buippon streets, the defendant was driving a milk wagon ) apldly along the street and came near running over that gentleman; be In order to save himself raised bis cane and struck the horse uuon tbe lace, and the defendant jumped down aiid struck blm upon the head; he staggered, dropped npon his knees, and fell forwards, and died immediately, or a very short time after wards. The delendant is on bull, the Common wealth not pressing for murder of the first degree. The main features of the infliction of the blow by the defuudant and the death of the deceased were not points of contest; but the whole case hinged ou the question whether the blow given by the dclendunt was the cause of JeDrh E B. Shaplelgh gworn I made a post mi, rleiii examination of the body of Frederick winters at the rear ot No. 605 Wall street, on thel-nu oi October last; I discovered a slight tirnlhe an Inch and a half above the left eyebrow- it was merely skin-deep, and very slight; nomlna in contact with any smooth instru ment or object would nave caused the woun J; tula was the only external mark of violence that I discovered; I do not think such a wound would have been produced by a blackiack, for I think that would have broken the skin; it might have been produced by a fall1 there was no fracture of the skull, but I dlBoevei ed pressing upon the left surface of the brain betweeu it aud the brain sack, and about the medulla oblongata, the commencement of the spinal cord, a clot of blood; the immediate cause ol death was the compression of the brain from the clot; a fall or a blow from the fist be hind the ear might Have been an exciting cause til tbe clot; a clot can ha produced In that way; a clot so produced might be found dlreotly under the place struck, or In another part. Cross-examined Tho subject was rather fat, but of sickly appearance; the face appeared putty-like; all the tissues were ft bby and greasy to the feel; the lungs were sound; the beart was dilated and diseased; the color of the muscular part of the beart was greyish; the Internal lining membrane whs of a dark red color, utmost a maroon color, either from inflamma tion or a broken-down condition of the blood; the liver was tufa light, yellowish color, instead of dark red; the texture of the liver seemed franulated and greasy to the feel; tbe iver aud beart were In a condition known to physicians as fatly degeneration; the deceased was about forty-six years of age; iie was quite tall and stout; the bruise upon tbe Xoreheau might have been inilieted by the hand; there was no other external mark of vlolenoe on thebead; I cannot tell wbetuer tbeblow, the fall, .or Lotb.lweie theause of that dot; judging from tbe diseased condition of the hearland pre disposition loapoplexy. this clot of blood might bave boeu produced by surprise, emotion, or puasion; had I been unacquainted with theclr cuinstancee of this case, I think tbat upon post mortem examination I would have concluded tbat death bad been caused by apoplexy; there wae Eodlflerenne between this brain and that of one who might have died from apoplexy, The ease has iioi b-en couoluded.

Slow ft Bloated Nport Attempted to Kit ininy-Nix iiuru-itoiieu l-"it. In accordance with a public announcement duly made in several pporung pera, a wauer ot a rather novel and decidedly l?stiHl character was decided yesterday atteruoou in a stable uini iu 1'in-isii.uuu ui jeiiersuu hui uivisiod. streets. Two wcek9 airo a bet was made between two well-known -'sports," one from the Seventh ward and the other from the Tenth, that a ccitubi notoilous gourmand would cat three dozen biirO-bolled cf?c;s, without drink ot miy kind, within the spttce ot thirty six minute?. A loger beer saloon uesr thecoruerof Dtvi-ioa and Mortal k streets was the place nrnt designated, but the owner peremptorily objected, so it bceanie neces.ary to adjourn to a stable. Only the champion glutton, the betting parries, the ctiossn umpire, and a dozen conspicuous patrons of the ennobling arts were Dennittpd to be piesent. At 1 o'clock precisely the word '"po" was given, aud with electrical rapidity two eggs were bolted, but as suddenly the eater itopped and protested that the egKs bad been "soaped" thst is, boiled to a clammy state which bad been expressly stipulated acainpt. The umpire tasted, and declared the objection well taken, and ordered forty new sggs to be procured and boiled under his personal supervision. At 3 o'cloek the "sport" was resumed. The first seventeen eggs were bolted whole lu fourteen aud a quarter minute". The eighteenth stuck last in the turoiit; the operator gulped painfully, but the oostruetiou would not stir. The natural moisture of the throat wad K"tie, aud soldered irons could uot adbere more firmly than did the glutinous egg to the parched throat. The sutlerer gulped and strained in vain. lie seized the iron handle of the saucepan which contained tho boiled eggs. aud was about to inject tbe obstruction when inj opposite party caueu "loin." The umpire, with extraordinary judicial perspicacity, ren dered bis decifiiou that the operator mivht inject or eject at pleasure by mechanical aid, but the eggs bo injected or ejected would not count, lie wenton to give his reasons, and got to "third ly," when the suuocating wretch, now purple In the lace as the gills ot a male turkey, tyei distended outside' their sockets, breathing stertorous, bolted the recalcitrant eetr with the handle of the eauee-pun. Seventeen regular eecs aud a blank in 161 minutes The eutcr sank into a chair entirely exuaut-tud, with stomach in a volcanic state. Atter a two minutes' rest, three more ejrsrs were bolted in manifest pa.n, eyes running water, and the whole irame twitching tpaHmodiCH!iy. Twenty lour e??i in 25 minutes, and the operator throws np the sponge and is taken away by his baekeri. The amount of the wager was $00. X, Y. Irilmne of 'tut morning. Secretary of State, From the Eotton Travelltr, Jan. '23. BecnuKe General Grant and bis wife dined with Secretary Pcward on the 16th it is argued that there will be uo chanee in the htate ue r artment on and alter the 4th of Match. If the Secretary himself is of this belief, he is as great a simoleton as Attorney-General Wirt showed himself to be in 1829,when be supposed General Jackson would keep him m oihce Because ne had been in It a dozen years. Perhaps Secretary Seward's "claims" to remain In a place henever should have held are founded on the fact that he has held it so long. He is the only man who has held the oiliee ot secretary of State through two ineciisive Presidential terms for sixty Yiare, or siiice Mr. Madison left the State Terirtment in 1800: lor though JJr. John Q. Adams was the only Secretary of State in Mr. Monroe's Presidency, he did not take cbaree ol the State Department till six months at er Mr. Monroe's inauguration. He was Minister in England when appointed. Mr. Madison and Mr. Seward are the only full termed Secretaries of Btate mentioned in our history. There have been twenty-twe Sit;rta rlesof State in eiehty years, namely : Thomas Jellerwn, Jidruuud Randolph, Timothy Picker ing, John Marsnall, James Madison, Booert Smith, James Monroe, J. Q. Adams, Henry Clay, Martin Van Buren, Edward Liviugston, LoutB McLane, John Forsyth, Daniel Webster, A. P. Upebur, John C. Calhoun, James Bucha nan, John M. Clayton, Edward Everett, William L. Marcy, Lewis Case, find William H. feward, tbe latter being now in otlice. The twenty-third Secretary of btato will be known in March, per haps In February. A Modest IteqneM. To General Grant: 1 bog the appointment of John A. Grlswold, of New York, as Secretary of the Navy, aud ot William DenuUen, of Ohie, ss Postmaster General. Tbe Kpics of Grant and Bomauoes of the Great Rebellion to be written hsreafter will be incomplete in poetic justice, and leave an unsatisfied longing in the minds of their readers, if the builder of the monitors does not succeed Welles tbe Incompetent, and tbe "Sir Philip Sidney of Ohio" does not rcBuaie tho portfolio he ppurned at tbe hands of A. J. the apostate. The etern and sullen patriot, SiauroD, needs no addenda to his elory. It is complete already. Wll.LIAU . (IlLMOItli. Sprinfilield, Mo., Jan. IS, 1809. " DIED.
