At tLa Usrf f tba iMuifcg o; cttxte warrants Mr. Mann was at Elk rtver, It is said, on a Cubing eiroursion, but uprn hearing of the pro ceedings he telegraphed to tbe Mayor that be would surrender himself by 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Prompt to bis word, ba appeared before the Mayor about tba time designated and wu In the custody of tbe law to answer the charges preferred against him. Immediately he was surrounded by a number of his professional friends, tendering him their aid, and from among these he chose as bis counsel L. O. Cassidy, J. T. Pratt, C. H.-T. Ool lls and Samuel O. Perkins. Escjs. A writ of habeas corpus was at once obtained from Judge Allison, directed to Chief Mulholland, who had him In charge, and made returnable forthwith. Tbe Court of Quarter Sessions had some time before adjourned, and the District Attorneys bad to be sent for to watch tbe Commonwealth's Inter ests in the investigation about to be had. Mr. Mann was escorted into court by tbe Chief of Polire, attended by counsel and followed by an immense throng, making the court-room, which was so recently deserted, densely packed by the excited multitude. At four o'clock, while the Co roner was holding bis Inquest in regard to the death of Nolen, tbe hearing of Mr. Mann's case upon habeas corpus was begun by the court. The chief of police made return to the writ that be held Mr. Mann by virtue of the two warrants above mentioned, for the offence therein specified. The first witness called by the District Attorney was Charles M. Hurley, who said that during the sitting of the return judges last Thursday, In the Nisi Prius court-room, he was In the vestibule in front of the door, being there in the interest of a candidate in his district. Between twelve and two o'clock he was not positive as to the precise time Mr. Mann appeared at the door In answer to a call from the board of judges, and demanded admission. .John Ahern, who was standing there, insisted tint be should wait for Mr. Cassidy, who had been sant for by the other side, saying that he bad promised to wait. Mr. Mann said he had not so pro mised, and intended to go in. Ahern said hi bad the same privilege, and would go In if Mr. Mann did. Both became excited, and Mr. Mann went through tbe little room between 1 tie two court rooms, tried tbe door there, and then returned to the vestibule. At that time a roan calling himseif a return judge came up and demanded admission; tho door was opened, and Mr. Alarm, thrusting tbe individual aside, pushed himself Inside, followed by Ahern, who was jammed by the closing door; the witness was forced in by the pressure ot the crowd, and then he saw parties beating Ahern about the head with blackjacks, as he was fastened in the door; he suc ceeded in extricating hiimselt, and then the door was forced open and the crowd poured In; he says blackjacks and pistols were numerous; some of the parties inside having a weapon in each hand; Crawford was standing in the Jury-box, and Nolen was near tbe east end of the Judges' bench; be heard Mr. Mann say to Crawford "Shoot, shoot," and, looking at him, saw hlra pointing toward Nolen; then be saw Crawford tire the shot, and saw Nolen fall; this witness said he saw nothing in Rolen's bands at all; saw no blow struck, and nothing thrown; there were policemen standing on the Stairways all the way up before the dimuulty Occurred. CnSries 0. Wilson, who was uresent at the meet ing of the return judges in tbe capacity of reporter. said he did not see Mr. Mann when the shot was fired, and did not he r him say anything to Craw ford; he heard the word '-shoot" uttered, bat could not tell by whom; he thought Ahern had in his baud a piece of railing torn from the wall; when Nolen was endeavoring to enter the room three or four blows were struck at him; he saw several blackjacks, and remembered that when tbe shot was tired the man who held the railing dropped it like a hot potato; he was not very positive that Ahern was the man who held the railing. ooun j. uamn, return judge ot tne sixtn ward. was next examined. According to him, Crawford was crossing the room followed by Nolen, and got into tbe Jury-box, from which he tired the shot. rsoieii was not doing anything at the time of the shot, nor was Mr. Mann heard to say anything. Alter tne occurrence, a merman Aicamiiin said to Mr. Mann, "You told him to shoot;" and Mr. Mann said. "I did not: I told him to defend him self." J. Gordon Showacker, return judge of the Twen tieth ward, said Crawford retreated, pursued by Nolen. and when he got into the iurv box he called out, "Colonel Mann, shall 1 shoot?" and Mr. Mann reniieu. "uetena vourset." Atter this .Nolen picked up a heavy spittoon and threw it at Craw- lord, wno aougeu it, ana it was broken into frag ments against tbe wall. Crawford then took do- liberate aim and shot Nolen. He saw no black jacks or pistols in the hands of the judges, but saw tne coorseepers using tnera on Anern' head. itere tne comnionweaun proposed to oner in evi. dence the dying declaration of John C. Nolen. The evidence necessary to its introduction proved that Alderman Colgan, who took tbe deposition, did not Indite it as the language of the deceased, but he put interrogatories, and then took down what he understood to ne Rolen's declaration. After hearing counsel upon this point the Court ruled that the paper had not been established as the genuine dying declaration of Nolen, but simply as the Alderman s Interpretation of it, and there fore it could not be received in evidence. Alderman Colgan was then examined as to the verbal statements of the deceased, and testified that Nolen had said he thought he was dying, that Aleck Crawford bad shot him, and that the shoot ing was induced by Wm. B. Mann, the late District Attorney. N. F. English, president of the Board of Return Judges, described tha forcible entrance of the crowd Into the room, and said that Crawford re treated to the eastern end of the room, pursued by Nolen and several others. He was alone, and when he got near Mr. Mann he looked at him In an Im ploring manner and asked falm something, and Mr. Mann said "Defend," or "Protect yourself." At that time a man was standing near Mr. Mann, with a piece of railing in his hand; another was close by with a blackjack, and a third burled a spittoon at Crawford, which mlexed bim and struck the wall. Then Crawford fired the shot whlcb killed Nolen. Nolen stooped, as if he expected Crawford to shoot. Mr. English saw a hand fastened In the door, with a pistol pointing inside, which Mr. Beitler, one of the judges, seized and turned toward a vacant corner. . Mr. Beitler was examined and stated tha facts as Mr. English gave them. He saw Ahern running about very much excited, begging somebody to give him a "pop." He did not see Mr. Mann point to ward Nolen, but bad he so pointed ha would have seen bim. This closed tbe testimony. Mr. Cassidy arose and said be was here to repre sent Mr. Mann in this matter, aud to answer for his legal responsibility for his conduct on the occasion inquired of. He hardly thought tha District Attor neys would, upon this evidence, ask that Mr. Mann could be held to answer for anything. If they did make such a demand ha would reply to It. Mr. Sheppard said this case was to be treated ex actly as outer cases, and no matter who were the parties concerned, it was to be treated as other bearings upon habeas corpus. He simply desired to perform an official duty here; nay, he did not desire but was bonnd to do it. Now this investigation was not a trial of the question of guilt or Innocence, but simply an Inquiry to ascertain whether there was a prima'atie case established fit for a Mstlt Jury. He bad examined parties upon all sides. He thought there was proof of a riot, proof of a killing, and proof of tbe defendant's presence at and participation in tbe occurrence of that day; and there was evidence which, if believed, would warrant a conviction, and this was all that was necessary to be established. This being a most Important case, be was bound to say be thought it should be sent to a petit jury, and In saying this he said no more than his duty as an officer of the State constrained bim to say. Mr. Cassidy said that tbe proposition or the Com monwealth was that iheJudg) should believe two witnesses who swear to one state of facts, and dis believe eight who swear to another. This was to stultify the common sense and the conscience of the Judge. Tha Judge was to decide this matter by the proof, and that showed William B. Mann to have been guilty of no offence known to the law cf the land. Mr. Maun was there lawfully, at the call of tbe board of return Judges, and no one had the right to hinder him; in fact, all those who opposed him were liable to an action for assault aud battery. Being there by lawful authority, no act of his sup ported the allegation ot Inciting to riot. Then as to the killing, was not Crawford proven to have been pursued to the wall by Nolen? and then, when his life was in the most imminent peril, be appealed to Mr. Mann aud received that advice which the law of the land gave bim, that he had a right to defend himself. He was not to be Indicted as accomplice in a murder, for uttering that which was taught in every law book In the land. Mr. Mann asked for no favor in this matter, but simply aked to be Judged fairly and calmly. 1 1 Judge Allison in desiding the case said he agreed with tba District Attorney tbat where In a prelim inarv hearing there was a conflict of testimony, re quiring In tbe mind of the judge tha ease to ba sent to a Jury, tha relator should be remanded, but not where there was no such coufiiot. And in a hear ing upon habeas corpus the g ullt or innocence of the defendant was not to be tried, but simply whether upon tbe whola testimony a prima facia case is es tablished. He did not see bow tbe charge of riot orlnctting to riot was sustained; as well might tha same charge be made where a man forces his wav into bis own home. But as tbe matter stood before tha Court there was not tha shadow of sucb a chares made out. In regard to tha other charge of accu sal y to tha killing of Nolen, tha case was the same, and if tha case were sent to a jury the Court would feel obliged to say a conviotlon upon this testimony could not ba sustained; ha therefore discharged the relator.

Bokton, Oct. 18. Tremont Temple was crowded at the morning service to-day, as It was generally supposed that Mr. Tlltnn and lager-beer would be among tbe subjects which the Kev. J. D. Fulton would consider. Before the sermon, he referred to those subjects, and said he had been to New Yors since Wednesday, and found that there was no Bos ton merchant who could testify tbat he Fulton) drank lager-beer in a Bowery saloon. Mr. Fulton said he found the so-called Boston merchant was a showmsn, and tbe charge was that he drank the beer during bis college davs, IB years ago. This wns not tn e or him In his college days. It was alleged to have occurred In Dr. Armltage s church, and Dr. Armltage tcstifltd that he (Fulton) was never In his church till two years ago. In the course of his prayer Mr. Fulton referred to the matter several times, and prayed most earnestly for his enemies, and asked especial blessings on Mr. Tllton and the shopman. He announced that In the evening he should treat the matter at length, and by 1)4 o clock the temple was packed by itfoo people, several hundred being unablo to gain ad mittance. Ills subject was ' Christian Temperance,'' and when he bad concluded he again referred to the lager beer stoiy, and said a statement was due to himself, his church, and the public. He Urst read the letter purporting to have been written by him self concerning Mr. Tllton, Mr. TMtou s statement, and his own denial, and then spoke substantially as follows: Personally I intended to leave It there, but some of my brethren and friends thought differently. I never preached but once for Dr. Armltage, and that was two years ago, on my return from Europe, when I was accompanied to and from the church by some of the brethren of this church. They said my ac cuser must prove bis statement, since Monday morning, when the statement was first published, I have received numerous letters from all sections of the country, from ministers of different denomina tions, telling me that Christ and his cause called upon me to disprove the charge. My brethren started the libel suit, and not niyslf, on Thursday evening. When the papers said a Boston merchant would prove the s' aten eat, a mutual friend came to me aixi said Mr. Tllton evidently believed ir, and thought it would be best forme to go on and see Mr. Tllton. I followed his advice, and went, In company with the Rev. Drs. Taylor, Cuyler, and Simmons, and ashed to see the Boston merchant. Mr. Tllton sent for him, but as he did not come, Mr. Tllton went to the Independent office, and there saw him. I had known him at the University in Michigan, and had seen bim once since as a showman In Crystal Palace In New York showing a California tree. I asked him if I had the reputation of being a tempe rance man at the University. He said "Yes." I asked him if I did not aid a man who drank, took liim to my room, and tried to reform him and he said "Yes." The time alleged was back In 1863, When I lived In St. Louis, and was unmarried. I said to him, "Po you saj I went and preached in Dr. Armitagej Church, ad went from there with you to a Bowery saloon and drank nine or ten glasses of lager-beer with you ?" "No," he replied, "I said several; that statement and some others In the Tribune were Incorrect." "Do you claim that I went Into a lager-beer saloon?" "1 do." "Will you permit me to send for Dr. Armltage, to assure yon that I never preaohed in his church till two years ago7" "No," he re marked, "I only said It in fun." I then said, "I charge you with being a false witness to an old col lege friend." Turning to Mr. Tllton, I said, "There will be no libel suit; I will not have my society turn aside from ita work to follow the statement of this man." I subseqnently met Mr. Tllton with Drs. Taylor and Simmons, and endeavored in vain to have hltn retract. I said I should go home and lay the matter before my congregation, and should pray God that right may prevail, whatever the consequences. There is a man on this platform who came for me, wnen I was in Albany, to come here. Tha resolu tion was formed at bis house to prosecute this thing until the charge was retrscted. I leave it with the Ame rican people, and caU npon my brother George N. Chipman to close in prayer. TIED WAR.. LAST NIGUT'S DESPATCHES. GARIBALDI IN COMMAND STIRBINO ADDRESS TO THE FRENCH TROOPS THE DESPERATE BATTLE OF SOISSON8. Tours, Oct. 17. There are the most contradictory reports concern ing the Prussian and French armies near Orleans. Both sides are receiving reinforements. The muni cipal authorities of oblis, whom the Prussians threatened to execute, have been liberated. The Cnnttituiionel denounces the contemplated project for tbe separate federation of the Southern departments, with Marseilles for the capital, and condemns the provisonal government for not Im mediately repressing the movement. Cornuschl, the celebrated Italian banker, has been proposed as the successor of Koland, as Gov ernor of the Bank of France. The Archbishop of Tours publishes a denial of tbe statement, In the Tours correspondence of the London Daily News, tbat he went to meet Gari dbaldl. The Archbishop says he considers Garibaldi an adversary of the Churcn, and he refused to meet him officially. Tha Moniteur publishes a singular report made by Rouher, in lc7,on persons whose names had been suggested in connection with tho Ministry of the In terior. Another report, found In the Tuilleries, speaks plainly with regard to Haussman, Pietre, Magne and other prominent men of the Empire. London, Oct. 17 Tha correspondent of tbe New York Herald at Tours writes that thore Is a great lace of arms. After the loss of 200,000 stand at Sedan, the government sent to England to purchase as many rifles as possible. They obtained some, but nothing like tba number aatlcipated. The French agents at Birmingham found that the Prussian au thorities bad advanced large sums to secure nearly all the stock in the gun trade. France now otters to buy any number of rifles in America at 250 francs each, delivered In a French port. Late advices from South America show tbat a re volutionary crisis was impending at Montevideo. The government troops bad been driven into Retz, and the town was invested by the rebels. Monte, video was distracted by factions. The "red" gov ernment was expected to resign, as popular sym pathy bad declared itself unmistakably for the white party. Frano-tireurs near Eplnal, on the 13th, checked an advance of the Prussians in that direction in an engagement which lasted three hours. A squad of thirty uhlans was repulsed by irano-tireurs at Laureat d'Eaus, on the lott bank of the Loire. There is reason to believe that the army which captured Koissons, 22,000 strong, will attack other Btxone places In northern France. A balloon from Paris, with a quarter of a ton of letters, has fallen at Namur, and another alighted at Valenciennes with two hundred pounds ot cor respondence. Brussels, Oct. 17 The report that General Bover hs left Metz for Versailles to negotiate for the surrender of tha fortress Is considered au thentic here. The rumor that negotiations are pending for peace on tha basis of tha cession of Alsace and ljUxemDurg to rrussia is aiso oeuevou to be well founded, and it is stated that another In terview between Bismarck andFavre to that and will soon be held. Lomiii, Oct. 17, The capture of Soissons opens a second railway route to Paris, and the Prussiaos win put it to use at once, lue otner wuoomy reaches Meaux. The absence of power in the garrison of Paris to act on the onensive becomes daily mora evident. No sorties have been made since September 30. The Prussians have not yet opened with their artillery, while the Frenchmen lira Incessantly. Kern, the Swiss ambassador, has Informed bis government that the corps diplomatique will re main in Paris lor the nresent. General Ponsberg succeeds tbe Grand Duke of Hechienburg in the government or rtneims. A letter to tha New York Herald from Rome, dated tbe 12th inst.,says,Transteuere,aquarter ad joining Leonne city, was tha scene of a deplorable diBasttr on Saturday. A peasant from Caitarola village, drunk or mad, ran against all the priests be met, shouting "vengeance' and brandishing a dagger. He stabbed three priests, one dangerously. He was secured by gen d'arms and will be punished with the lull rigor oi tne taw. Lokdoii. Oct. 17 (Special to the New York World.

"Tba Immortal, Invincible enemies of despotism in every lurm are fighting by tha aide of tha sous of tbe Rhine and the Loire.

Onward, then, to the Vosge!" Soissons eapltulated only after the most terrible destruction of life and property. 350 houses were laid In ashes. The Prussians encountered a despe rate resistance from tbe National Guard; fighting hand to hand In the streets, and capturing one part of tha city house by house. Thev were driven back through the burning city fonr "times In suc cession, but were constantly reinforced, and bre the French down by their weight of numbers. No quarter was shown, and the wounded bayoneted wbentbey fell. Women hurled missiles from the bouses on tbe heads of tbe invaders. The sacrifice of life was awful. The Grand Duke of Mecklen burg wrpt at the slaughter, and, refusing to order an assault, begged the French commander to capitulate in tbe name of humanity. The splendid glass works of Jobelins, and the founderiee, mills and refineries were destroyed. The sortie under Trochu on Saturday completed tbe work of driving the Germans from their invest ing positions south and west of Paris. 1 he French advanced, under cover of a tremen dous cannonade, in three column', upon Chevilly, Sevres and Bougival. The latter was the raot se rious attack. Ihe Germans lost over 8.103 killed, wounded and prisoners, aud large supplies. Tbe Garde Nationale ot Calais to day procee led to Amiens, where a force is organizing to attack the Germans moving north from Soissons. Unofficial reports of the negotiations carried on through General Burnsidc state that Jules Favre, while rejecting all propositions for the cession of territory, is willing to submit the question of peace to arbitration "by the government of tho United States. Bismarck Is expected at Brussels, where Generals Burr.slde rihI Sheridan and Minister Jones are in consultation. A crowded meeting was held In London last night and to-day, in tavor of English intervention in the Franco-Prussian war.
