Jacob Benson (colored) has been com mitted by Alderman Kerr, on the charge of having burglariously entered the house of Daniel Fisher, No. 12 Wallace street. The Finance Committee met last evening, and after considering the appropriation for the support of the pnblio schools, agreed to postpone the subject until Monday next. Another meeting of the Fire Commis tioneiswaa held last evening, but no busi ness of importance was transacted. The committee merely reported progress. A meeting of the citizens of Frankford was held last evening to protest against the paving of the streets of that place at the ex pense of the property owners. At a meeting of the Board of Trade, held last evening, Mr. Allen presented a report, stating that at the session of the National Board the Constituent Boards were instructed to memorialize the Legislatures of the several States to repeal the laws discriminating rpainet non-resident traders, and to memo rialize Congress for the immediate and un conditional abolition of the franking privi lege. The report was adopted. P.me.tlo Affairs, The OrleanB Cotton Exchange was opened yesterday. The total number of hogs packed at Chi cago this season np to date is 8(i,5G and the packers are still at work. General ilalpine, another liberated Fe nian prisoner, arrived yesterday at Boston, in the steamer Siberia. The news that the Tennessee is safe caused great rejoicings yesterday throughout ths entire breadth of the land. In the Virginia House of Assembly yes terday the bill incorporating the Washington and Kichmond Kail way Company was passed. Senator Sumner was not so well last evening, and his friends were very much alarmed. It is said he cannot resume his seat this session. General reports throughout Illinois are that the prospects of the wheat crop of that State were never better at this season of the rear than now. A bill was introduced into the New Jer- ! Eey Legislature yesterday, to repeal the act allowing the Camden and Amboy, New Jerney and other railroads to consolidate their stock and lease to other roads. ilach other railway legislation was put forward in the same body. Foreign Affair. The Bonapartists are agitating for a ple tiecitnm. Bismarck will soon recognize the Repub lic of France. Thiers and Favre have gone to Versailles to settle terms with Bismarck. The exchange of prisoners of war will soon take place between the French and the Germans. The payment of the war contributions levied in some of the departments of France has been deferred. Q Germany is resolved to continue the war if compensation for the past and guarantees for the future are not given. Fears are still entertained that demon strations may be made npon Emperor Wil liam, Bismarck, and other Germans high in authority if the conquering army enters Paris. In the British llouse of Commons yes terday, Mr. Gladstone, in reply to an inquiry, denied that Her Majesty's Government had received any proposals for the purchase of the British dominions in North America. DOGBERRY OUTDOXE. laniil Scene la a Ht. Leuls Police Court. i The Missouri liepuhlican of Friday last 6ays: The oflice of C. F. Walther, Justice of the Peace, was crowded yesterday afternoon by a throng of lawyers, policemen, clerks, and others, debirous of hearing a peace-warrant case tried, in which Mr. Charles P. Johnson, Circuit Attor ney, was defendant, and Mr. M. D. C. Luby, attorney, the afllant. Mr. Voullaire defended and Mr. Luby prosecuted. Defendant was charged with having threatened to do Mr. Luby great bodily injury. The examination lasted two or three hours, and the proceedings were occasionally uproar ious as well as comical. Lotiy, seeing Mr. Alexander McKee and his dog, had the former sworn as a witness. Luby Mr. McKee, will you please state what oc curred tx tween Mr. Johnson and inysetf on Satur day last 7 McKee-No.sir. I.nby Why not? McKee Because I wasn't there. Luby That will do. Captain Kerone was sworn. Luby Were you present? Kerone I was. Luby Did you see Mr. Johnson raise his cane ever my head? Kerone No. Luby Did you bear him call Judge Frlmm a mur derer. Ktrone Nary time. Luby Did you see him throw himself into an atti tude of corporal chastisement? Kerone There was no corporal there of that name. (Laughter.) The farce went on for more than an hour, the spectators being frequently convulsed with laughter at the Dogberrlan blunders of the attorney. At length an old lawyer suggested to Luby to ask Kerone if Johnson did not shake his linger at him. Kerone Yes, I believe he did shake his linger at you, this way. Luby That oxcs.lt. That will do. (Convulsive laughter.) Judge rrlmm was examined for the defense, and stated that Mr. Johnson was one of the mildest and best-tempered men he had ever known; didn't be lieve he would hurt a flea unless It bit him pretty fccvcrcly. The testimony being closed, and the defense declining to make a speech, Mr. Luby read to the jury a paper w hlch he had prepared for an argu ment. It gave an account of t lie difficulty, colored by a distorted imagination, and stated that "if the jury failed to give him redress, a revolver would." Mr. Voullaire Interrupted the orator and asked him If he carried a revolver. Mr. Luby said he never carried a revolver, and went on reading his speech. The jury immediately brought ln a verdict of not guilty, and the defendant was discharged amidst conbiderable enthusiasm and much mer riment. The whole trial was a perfect farce, and fhowed with what impunity the "majesty of the law" can be trifled with by one clothcu In the livery of the legal profession.
