The trvidenee being dosed; C. 1,. C. GlLYord, cotthEci for the prisoner, made an argument in his defence, claiming that he was morally insane, and instancing- the evidence of Dr. Dodd, the County Physician, and Messrs.

Titewortb, the Counsel for the State, con tended that the prisoner was perfectly' aware of his condition, and of the regard in which his as were held , by the world. • He could not; therefore, be coneidered insane, any more than Mies Reeves. s • • The Judge's charge:to the Jury was principally as to the sanctity of the prisoner, and his con sequent responsibility. The Jury then retired. The case of Dr. E. Z. Wickes, charged with printing and publishing; immoral publications, was then ordered- on. Mr. Guild appeared for the defendant. Police Justice Mills testified to' having seized one '_of the works on Wickes' premises, and that Wickes told him th e company, of which he was The agent, published them. Dr. Gomel' testified that s ttnL tone-and -tendarmy uf the Works was to 'immorality, and they differed in many respects from medical works. The'ease was still on at the time of going threas. Judge Teens the presiding Ju dge , delivered hie charge to the' jury. By thelaws of this State, gentlemen, every person who shall be guilty of open lewdness, or any notorious act of public indecency, grossly scandalous and tend ing to debauch the morals and manners, of the people, ehall, on conviction, be liable to a fine of $lOO or imprisonment for one year. It has not been disputed in this case that the acts of the defendant were acts of public indecency, grossly scandalous, and tending to debauch the morals and manners of the people, and that the prisoner • ought to be corrected and smashed according to the statutes in such case made and provided, If he was a sane man and responsible pa rt sects. Much evidence has been given on the of the defendant as to his religious belief, his communion with visite, freedom from human passions and lust, and his claim to be purer and better than those of his own sect who are on a common plane. The defendant is, it seems, what is called epirituatisL Be cl forma tion be a medium depart transmission of i from spirits, and that 'by one fasting and continued subjugation of the passions, he has at length reached a state of perfection and freedom from the frailties of humanity. He has two disciples or companions in his belief, a mother and her daughter; and the three claiming to be pure, and • that therefore to them all things were pare, proceeded, on the first day of January last, in the presence of several witnesses, to divest themselves entirely of cloth ing and expose their naked persons to the view orpassere by. They claimed they were bearing testimony to the truth; that while to the unin itiated in theirtnysteries such transactions might seem strange arid criminal, yet to them they ap peared right, and that they were ready to suffer imprisonment or persecution as a test of their sincerity. Are the above facto consistent with the sanity of the defendant? Some light may be , thrown on this question, gentlemen,when you consider that a witness en thiscase,whoae veracity 18 not Impeached, and who appeared as intelli gent as any other witness in the cause, testified that he not only believed in tho possession of persons by evil spirits, but that he had himself seen a person possessed of several; that on one, oecasion, when in his preaence;an obscene spirit bad visited the defendant and sought communica tion with him, he' had warned the defendant to resist that spirit; thltt, nevertheless, the evil spirit bad prevailed, and that in his opinion the defendant was not responsible for the acts which are the subject matter of this indictment, but that the evil 'spirit which possessed him was res sponsible for these. This witness further told you that his , wife was a trance-medium, and had lectured without having heard her self speak; how he himself was not moved by .the spirits; and how the spirits departed from his presence. Now when you consider that an apparently sane and intelligent witness states sander oath as grave facts, withi n his own per sonal knowledge, occurrences which most per sons would look upon as delusions, how can you say that a belief in spiritual communications is an evidence of, insanity ? Most religions claim to have their oracles, seers, prophets, or me diates, each religion' claiming that the spiritual manifestations Vouchsafed to t ere genuine, and intended to benefit mankind; and that those of alll other sects are frauds, or manifestations of 'demons, who seek to destroy or mislead. Neither is it any new thing that a person should manifest his supposed purity by appear ing'naked. In this community indeed it is rare, but in India, time out of mind, there have , been fanatical pereons who have wandered naked through the street, and who have obtained thereby a reputation among their countrymen for great holiness. The same disgusting test of passion, too, has been applied to these devotees by females as the wituestree_swom waeupplted tbe 'defendant byMntsffeeveasabil daughter. (Here the Judge gave a resume of the main points in the case.) It is not necessary, gentlemen, that you , should go into flne-spna theories as to psychological develop,. ments, or. into nice distinctions between mental and moral insanity. Society is entitled to protection. Perseus who violate the laws or who become public nuisancee, must be deprived of the power of mischief. Whether the des dna tior4 ot such persons ought to be the lunatic asylum or the State prison, is a question the answer to which depends 'upon whether the 'aet complained of was or was not done by ant:gel ligebt and morally responsible person.

[From the Pittgoirirost. of Jan. 281 Between four and five o'clock yesterday after noon two white'cit liens of Allegheny Alfred and John Gabby (brothers), were attacke d by a party of negroes, with piatole and razors, and both were seriously wounded. Alfred received a pistol shot in his right arm, and John .was shot In the right side, and n ceived a severetash on the, neck by a razor in the hands of one pf the 'neglect'. We learned the following particulars of the affray last night at the Allegheny Mayor's office: A crowd of negrocs, among whom were Jo. Fisher, who . only last Friday came out of the county jail, wimp. he was confiner for stealing, Jahn Clark, a barber, and others whose names we did not learn, were con gregated at a saloon at the corner of West and iiecond streets, Allegheny,, when Alfred and John . Gabby entered. One of the - negroes began to abuse Alfred Gabby because that gentleman, had once arrested him some time ago, when Gabby was on the police force. A general attack upon the white men followed, during which they re ceived injuries as above related: The shootiag, it is alleged, was done by Fisher, and the cutting by Clark, who was seen to draw a razor from his pocket and use IL Alter committing" the outrage the negroes retired to a house on 4 North avenue, vrhere ;hey were shortly,lollovred by an excited crowd of over= fi ve' tundrell white people, shouting. 'kill the infernal I:tepees!' The house was surrounded by the mob, and,,the •doors and windows were shattered intofragments. A strong police force at this StftSo, :tirrived on the scene and arrested Fisher, Clark, and two other negrocs, a proceed ing to which the black scoundrels probably owe their lives, as the people were staincensed against them: 'that It was with difficulty they were restrained from billeting summary punishment upon the negroes even after they were In the hands of the officers. They were hastily'conveyed : tor the lock up. and Paced securely 'behind the bars. The wounded men were taken to their home on Middle street, where they received nroper medical attention. Their wounds, though severe, are not considered dangerous. 8o soon as they are able, it is their intenticn to make information against the two negroes. The house of 'Melinda Lucas was completely emptied of its contents of furniture, filth and vice, the vicious element, consisting of the pro prietress, another wench and a white woman, being secured by the police and locked itp. - Murder and filuicide—A AIM Stabs Ills ' \Wile Haul thou Cuts Ills own Throat —Particulars of the alorrible%itiftalr.

Freece was a soldier in the latelsrar, but has not borne the best possible re putation lor thrift and sobrie*- since his return from the army. He lived in Warren, and had a wife that belonged to a good tazoly, and is re presented as in every way an estimable woman. On the train last evening, Freece told the con ductor that he was going to remove from War ren to Youngstown—that he expected his wife would not want to go. and that he would have trouble about it—that if she refused to go, there "would be h—IL" The result proved that his threats were not idle. On reaching his6hOme, it would appear that Freece, who was much intoxi cated on the train,ot into some difficulty with his wife at once. What the nature of the quarrel was at first is not known, but the result was that Freece stabbed his wife no lees than seven times with a knifei - and - then; probably - leaving her for dead, went into the yard in rear of -his-house-and cut his own throat 'from ear to ear. .There he was found - cif course stone dead. - Freece was still living at last accounts, but no hoyes were entertained of her recovery.

Examiner olden. 98th.1 A young lad of exceedin beaut of face and rare mental attainments, residing yon Shockee Hill, near Clay street, attempted suicide at an early hour last Saturday night. Fortunately the attempt was discovered in time to be frustrated. For several days she had been staving intense mentalogony, caused by an estrangement be tween herself and a young gentlemfila to 'whom she ha been long enag, Several id neffectual efforts to bring onmatrimonially re oneed.ilia tion had been made by a third party, and on Saturday last the young gentleman informed the lady that there was an inseparable barrier to the heretofore contemplated union, but declined most peremptorily to define minutely what this barrier was. His answer having been communi cated to the young lady, she seems at once to have resolved upon the step to which we have already made reference. The suspicions of a near relative having been excited, the distressed girl was closely watched, and as she was in the act of swallowing the fatal draught, a timely thrust was made from behind,and the silver tankard,contain ing the deadly'drug, was wrenched from the hands which held it. All Saturday night, Sunday, and up to a late hour last evening, the young lady was under the most rigid surveillance. Her mind seems to be wandering, and the relatives and friends fear that an entire dethronement of reason may be the ul timate result.

On Monday evening Lawrence' Mullen and William O'Brien, laborers, who are old acquain tances, had a quarrel in the lower part of the city, but they were separated before endangering their lives.

[Parte (Jan. 18) Corieepottdence of the London Timeg In the Cousistory of March next Will take place a promotion, of Cardinals, in which, the Archbishop of Parts and the Abbe Bonaparte; a Rumnn prelate, Will'. be Included. The Papal Nuncio bas notified in person to the French Minister of Foreign Affairs the decision of the Pope, declaring ,that the proposal of France, transmitted through the Ambassador in the name of the Emperor, has been accepted, so far as Monseigneur Darboy is concerned. The Metropolitan of Paris is the youngest of thq French Archbishops. Having been born le 1813, he is but 54 years of age; he only entered the epoiscopate in 1859, when homes made Bishop of Nancy. The nomination of the . Abbe. Bonaparte is an act of courtesy and gratitude; of which the initiative IsAtie torthe Holy Father.' This pro motion of a member of 'the Imperial, family - of France to the scarlet hat is, an ,exceptional act. Monseignor Chigi has expressed the desire of conferring thedignity on two other French, prelates,. ,tutsame France, which has almost always had eight Cardinals, at present posseena lite only.- ThesErench Gdrentnsehn, in accordance with the desire of the' Holy See, is said to Mo ns proposed the - new Archbishop Of Rennes, eigneur Landrion who was raised to the epideopacy in 1856, and Monseigneur Re,g nier, Archbishop of enthral, aged 73, and who was made a Bishop in 1842.' The five present Cardinals are: Afouseigneur„Billienaged 84; Mon-.• seigneur de Donald '80; Mon sei gneur Donnet, 72; Monseignetir, Ma th ieu, 71; and Monseigneur do lonnechose, 67.

Well, worthy friend. ramOf a contrary opinion. To - wait till the Papacy Ope rates its own destruction is to, commit an error, and France pays to-day for the credulity of which she• was guilty in., 1789. Amenca and England plume themselves . upork their religious liberties; the first did cer tainly escape national assassination at the hands of the Papist rioters of New York and other States, but , the second has a gloomy task before it in clearing away the, clouds of - Funiartism. Shall we be simple enough to believe that the priests would put an end to themselves to oblige humanity? Thistles and OIL harmful weeds propaeate themselves with nioni fecundity and less tronible than any useful plants. I know you say, :"Liberty of worship, liberty of con science, liberty for all opinion," and I repeat the cry; only Lit must be in the mouth' of ho • nest men. Does anybody believe in liberty. for vi pers, for crocodiles, for thieyes or assassina?— and what is the priest butthe assassin of thafrea soul—far more mischievous than the assassin of the body? France, who for good and evil lutist influence so vastly the destinies of - the Arid— do you think Franeewas morally leas advanced or more 75 years back, when she proadmedto bureanity--divided by the, sacerdotal tricks— .the. sublime principle of fraternity, with rational re -ligicm and thereat'" StrproMe - Beinglbtlts France was then in the apogee of her inflpence; but, thanks to the pestilential germ of priest craft which she spared, she standar flow robbed of a century's g rowth in the splendid career of progress and . freedom to which her high destinies call her. Priestcraft and notutpartiaus, which openly nowadaYs take hands to keep each other up, give me rut as the enemy of France. That is as much as saying ,I am an enemy to fruit because I hate slugs. Yes! I avow I' do hate evil, bate vice, bate corruption, of which these pests are the emblem. But France! Ah, my thousand friends in France, they will not let me stoop so low as to j notify myself against that calumny. I will say something more. It would be very wrong to think that the absence of French contributions to the Italian enterprise was a proof of French ill-will. No, my country men have too much intelligence not to distinguish between the despot who insults us and the noble nation which he gage. Certainly, when the Italians rcfiect that the duties, on your ex port goods pay the Pope's soldiers, I think they do well not to go much by "lists of contributors.' I accept your pleasant augury of seising me shortly in France. Truly, I should return with a filial love to my ancient land of exile, where I meta hospitality so cordial and genenius. Bat von must be_w. I persuaded ithat this will only happen, when you have turned ; these "black points" white which now deface onsfair land. I gnaw oldfaater than my age, and I cOureas the condition of my country hafting life desinward. But I never despair of her future, above all with friends as devoted and noble as you. I embrace you with all alibction, and am for life, yours des votedly. G.
