[Correspondence of Uu> Phlla. Evenlna Bulletin.l Paris, Sunday, Sept.. 4, I&7o.—The. date, which I place at the head of this letter is one of the most memorable, among the many memorable epochs, which have signalized the annals of France. It has seen the end of a domination of nearly twenty years; and which, founded upon violence and illegality, and maintained by force and casuistry, has never been ability displayed, and the degree of material prosperity achieved, either to take any solid root in the courts, or command the affection or respect of the people. An Eventful Day. On this day, the 4th of September, 1870, .1 have seen the Second .Empire, whose origin I saw first began on the 2d of December, 1851, disappear in a few hours, literally “ like the baseless fabric of a vision,” and “ leave not a rack behind!” The wign of Napoleon 111. and of his dynasty is at an end. And at, what, a moment has this taken place! Imagine, if you can, the pitiful state to which this great country is reduced: Her armies slaughtered; her sovereign a prisoner; her marshals and generals wounded or killed; her fairest Provinces in the hands of a foreign enemy; her foe at the very gates of Paris, arid revolution rampant at the seat of government and throughout every city in the land. .This, is the position of thirigs in: France "at the mo ment 1 write these dreary records. - PBllkao's Last Proclamation. . And how can I hope to convey to yon any adequate picture of the vast flood of events which has swept over us in the course of-the last, few days, beginning under the -walls of Sedan, and rising higher, and higher, and higber r until, when, it-reached Paris,-it- over whelmed the Empire, the government, and all connected with them, in its resistless force. Later last night Count de Palikao placarded on the walls of Paris the Proclama tion itt.which,.abontTor.. the first time an im perial cabinet told the French nation the whole truth respecting the evils which ,a vi cious and unprincipled, and latterly also an andshorbeighted policy, ..had brought upon it. That proclamation had not appeared for more than the space of twelve honrß before the Empire and its partisans have been swept away by the popular indig nation. , • The principal events of the day are soon re lated. The details you will gather gradually from the public accounts, which will reach you in every form. “DownWltb the Empire I” This morning, on arriving at the Place dela Concorde, about 11 o’clock, I found battalion after battalion of the National Guard pouring into the immense space, with colors flying and drums beating, amidst the enthusiastic shouts of the population. It soon be came apparent in what the movement con sisted. The entire popular force of the city’ had been ordered by the new Governor, Gen eral Trochu, to rendezvous around and in the precihctß of the Corps Iftgislatif, where, as proposed by Jules Favre the previous evening, the deposition of the Emperor and his dynasty was to be pronounced. The ob- J jectj no iioubt, was to afford the opportunity tor : a manifestation of public opin ion, ' " supported by the national force, which should carry all be fore it, and nullify the opposition which the Minister of War, the Count de I’alikao, and the Imperialist majority in the Chamber might wake to the general, senti ment of the capital. This object completely succeeded. The unanimity of feeling between the inhabitants of Paris and the the National Guards could not be mistaken for a moment. The predominant cry from both was: “La lUvkeunccJ”. "La de'Cheance!" or,. “Dbwnwlth the Empire!” Following upon this rah .the' cry of “ Vive la Itepublique!” responded to'on both sides with almost equal unanimity. I can vouch for the fact with my own ears throughout the day that these two ories were the unanimous expression of the popular sen timent, and were repeal ed and received with out any conflicting element of any kind. An ArmedM nlUtnUe. The multitude assembled in Jhe Place de la Concorde was prodigious; but ltVras perfectly well conducted, and was indeed .composed mainly of the more respectable inhabitants of the city. The number of armed men was enormous. Thousands of them were without uniform, though attached to some corps, either of National Guards or Garde Mobile or franc-tireurs. But all carried their musket, with fixed bayonet, and the entire place literally glittered with steel. It was a paoiflc, but armed demonstration, and intended to show that the people of Paris, with arms once, more in their hands, were determined to have their own way. Tne Corns LegUlatlt. Of what has actually occurred at the Corps -Leyisfalt/V-we-nre not at- this moment quite aware, so great was the confusion of tha scono which took placosthere.

A Government De Facto. - September 501.—We know now that we have a government tie facto ; but it ia evidently nothing more. The invasion of the Chamber yesterday prevented all regular or legal dis cussion, and the simple practical result of what then took place was that all the deputies for Paris, with the exception of M. Thiers , who declined to join, formed themselves into a Commission of National. Defence, and ad journed to the Hotel de Vilie, where they es tablished a Provisional Government. The proceeding, iB neither satisfactory nor con stitutional, but it can scarcely be, denied that under the circumstances, it was the only one possible. You will know, long ■eretbis, the names both of the members who compose it and those of the Provisional Min- which is appointed. In fact, it is said ihat one of the first official act of Jules Favre, theoeew Minister of Foreign Affairs, wastoj telegraph to the government of the TTniwd States intelligence of all that had taken place. You already, of Connie, .know that Count Bis marck paid a similar compliment to America,' in the person of General Sheridan, by placing the official telegraph exceptionally at his dis posal alone, for the transmission of the news of the victory at Sedan. i September 6th. —lt is only’this morning that we have become fully acquainted with the acr, tual proceedings which took place at the Corps J.egislatif, after tho invasion by the people. We are indebted to M. Thiers for an official report of the subsequent sitting. It took plaee under somewhat slmilar circumstances to those which were held after the coup d’etat, only without any apprehension of violence. The deputies who had not joined Jules Favre’s . party assembled in the dining-room of the President of the Chamber, and elected M. Thiers to the chair. They put themselves into communication with the deputies sitting at the Hotel de Ville, and requested the presenceaf a delegate from them. Jules Favre shortly after presented himself. He acknowledged that their position was “ irregular,” but asked “ what else could be done?” M. Thiers spoke with great moderation, and recommended, at least for the present, acquiescence in the statu tflto. This advice was finally adopted, and we rare now Uving; ferni' de mfeiuv under a- self constituted republic. : AI TEB IHE SEBgESDEB. ; The Imperial Prisoner. Dr. Bussell’s account of the surrender of the Emperor andkis interview with the Eing has already been published, having been trans mitted by telegraph. It .was, of comae, some-, what partial to the Prussians. The French - - account ia given, in a communication in. the trjir, from Dinant, Belgium, of the sth, which says: . Listen,for what I can now give youisapage of history. Napoleon 111. having, written to the King of Prussia the letter Which you are acquainted with, William replied: “ Let him come himself; otherwise he will be treated as a private soldier, although he scarcely 'de serves it.? Napoleon then betook himself in the manner related to the farm at. which ■ the. Kinghad established fits headquarters. The caleche having arrived at the door of the house, the ex-Emperor alighted, ' Kxtlngaisbod Ills cigarette, ' and entered alone into the low chamber/ where the King, in a general’s uniform, with his helmet on was walking up and down in a feverish state, liis hands crossed behind his back. The Prince and the. great officers formed a group in one of the comers of the , apartment. The ex-Emperor took off his hat and saluted the King, nsing the German language. William did not reply, either by word or gesture, but after a few more, paces, came and placed himself erect, stiff, and terrible, in front of Napoleon; who remained bareheaded, with his head .slightly inclined. “ Sire,” he said, still in German, “ I come to repeat to your Majesty riva voce what I had the honor of writingto you yesterday evening.” “It is Well, sir,” re plied the King, whose color was considerably heightened, whilst his voice had a whistling sound, owing to the efforts he made to restrain himself. “I have decided that Spandau shall he assigned to you for , prison—l mean residence; you wiil there wait for my further orders.” “Sire,” Bald Napoleon—- “ I have spoken, sir,” exclaimed the King, sffpqnghis sabre on the dusty'floor of tho' room. “ Aurevoir done Monsieur,' mon frtre, said the Emperor this time in French ; he thensaluted in the most courteous manner the different' personages, and left the room as calm as if he had been presiding at an Open ing of the Chambers. When outside -he took a cigarette and lighted it by xhe cigar of a cuirassies in white uniform, and was preparing to again get into his carriage when, a genera]. officer came . from the King to beg him to pass into a neighboring 'court, where William, who wished to. have a longer conversation, would send for him. -Na poleon said not a word, but, escorted by tsyo 'cuirassiers, passed into a court where . there jwn's a small wooden bench at the edge , of a •little piece of water. Oh this he quietly took his seat, continued to smoke, and: only stop- Iping at intervals to look at the pool and at the staff-officer who, standing up,' was watching !allhis movements. After waiting a quarter of an hour, the ex-Emperor, in French, begged the officer to order him a glass of water. One of the cuiraassiers brought It. He moistened his Ups with it, and then look ing at the contents of the glass, smiled And said to the officer: “ Nero, when conquered, passed his last hour near a pond, from which ho drank; I am more fortunate than he.’.’ Then, having swallowed all the water and given hack the glass: “ Ibis true,” he added, “that . : ■' My Kelgn Never Kesembleil His.” Ho saying, he resumed his sffiqklng. After, a good halt-hour a general dflicev came from, the Prussian monarch to beg totttj to entSav a a room where the King wto alone. Tfewrre nuiined together for nearly ah hour and a half, speaking in a very low tone. At the end 'of the interview the ex-Emperor ’got into a post-chaise with the Prussian arms in it, and took ; - thd ; route' by Luxembourg to Ciissel, where he will proceed to Spandan. ! This last is a fortress which protects Berlin oh the northeast side; it con tains a State'prison of a very gloomy aspect. Those who form the suite of the King-pretend that t is’lthe intention of his Majesty to leave Napoleon there-to tbeend of hisdnys.-A per petual imprisonment, the King is reported to have saidjwould be only the just chastisement ■ of so great;ah oflendor. An officer of the P.rus sian staff,who is gblng toNatohrandßrussels on a special mission,affirms that without the inter vention ofthoPrincoßoyal and that of Count fie Bismarck, the King was determined to have tlioEmperor shot,so greatwas his exasperation against him for having caused the death of so many bravo soldiers. -The',equipages, car pages/ and the Imperial servants 1 were seized on at Arlon by the Belgian authorities; the various-persons belongingtobimwereUber-: ated on parol,-but with,a recommendatiou to get rid of their liveries, ‘which they very readily did. You can have no idea in Paris of the exasperation that prevails against the. Em peror and his Mends amongst tne French who throng in here from the field of battle. Tbe Prince Imperial In England. . His Imperial Highness arrived at Dover September 5 in thefioyal Belgian mail packet, which steamed alongside the landing stage at 1.20 O’clock. Very lew persona had been ac quainted with the fact that the Prince was on board, but somehow it oozed ont, and about a hundred people assembled on the pier in tbe soaking rain. The Prince, who was accom panied by. Commander Dupere (son of Admi ral Dupere), Major Lamme,and Major Ferry, on landing was respectfully saluted by most of the spectators, ana he frequently acknow ledged tbeir attentions by touching his hat. He was attired in a dark suit, and wore a gray great coat and an ordinary deer-stalking hat. He appeared to be in perfect health, and con versed freely with bu) Governor while walk ing upto the Lord Warden Hotel. He was met op the pier by Mr. Eborall. the general manager of the Southeastern Bailway, who escorted him to tho Lord Warden Hotel, where he remained until the ! afternoon, leaving Dover by- the train on the Southeastern Bailway at- ■ 8.45 for Hastings. He was . .accompanied, by Commander Dupere and other gentlemen, . and by Mr. EboralL, Mr. EboraU, -having- re ceived a telegram informing, him of the pro-! posed arrangements for the Prince Imperial leaving Dover,had come over from Folkestone. and ordered a special train to he held in readi ness to precede the mail train to convey his Imperial Highness to Hastings,.by way of Ashford. During his stay at the Lord Wor den Hotel the utmost privacy was observed, the Due de Grainont and the Mayor and Mrs. “Binmngbamandrfamily'OPlyTiavibgTSecbSsTo 7 the Prince; and on taking his departure the Prince and his attendants reached the rail way by the private staircase leading directly' from the hotel to the trains; bnt, notwith standing the desire to -keep his departure strictly private, great numbers, of people as sembled in all the avenues inside or outside tbe station: As, attended by Mr. EboraU, he walked up the platform, there was consider able cheering. TbePrincejWho was visibly aflected, on entering the carriage cordially ‘ shook bands with tho Mayor, Mr. Alderman Cburchword, and other gentlemen within reach. . Mr. EboraU, at the especial desire of the Prince, accompanied him in the royal car riage, to his destination. ‘ Hastlngb, Sept. o.— The Prince Imperial and suite arrived at the Marine Hotel, Hast- from Ostend, via Dover, at 5 P. M. Tbe Capitulation. ■ A French superior officer has given a tex tual copy of the capitulation of Sedan. When the consulting commission of generals were discussing as parlemcnters with the Prussian commanders and the General de Moltko, two of the French generals ;were for a resistance to 'the last, but the great Prussian strategist told them at once that he new exactly their desperate position, tbdF'tbe-French troops uow in Sedan were without food .or ammunition, and that being, surrounded on. eiiuer side any resistance would be madness. After those arguments tbef' capitulation was agreed to, and the following document, per fectly authentic, was immediately signed. The - French colonels, on- hearing, it/ burned the flags' and eagles of their regiments, the soldiers threw their guns, their swords, am munition, &c., in the Meuse, .breaking every thing at hand, sooner than let them come into tbe hands of the enemy. The Prussian losses have been immense, more thaD double those of the French, who, towards the evening were partiaUy protected bv the walls of Sedan. Sedan was without any resources or provi sions/horses shot in battle were nearly the oaly iood.- -Toward3 the evening several superior officers and a general were killed by shells in the very streets of the town: ” -SED»s,ScDt.2.—By tho C c°h P lor l of tlie staff of his Ma j*rity King Williami.Coniinander-in-Chief of the German armies,and the General Commanding-iu-Ohief of the I’ranch armies, both with foil powers from his Majesty tile Ring and tho Emperor of the French, the following agreement has been concluded: Article 1.

The.military surgeons will remain, without exception, ii; the rear to take care of the wounded. Tbe Departure or tbe Empress. A correspondent of an „ English ' journal writes: ~u ’ You will see in the papers various accounts of the Empress’s departure from Paris. - The facts 1 believe to be simply as. follows:- Tow ards twelve o’clock yesterday she left the Tuileries in a plain carriage, accompanied only by.M. Eietrie,th6 Pxefect.of Police;; They drove to a station,outsido of Paris, and there took the railway to 'Belgium. If Pietrie ac companied hef beyond tne station he did not go far, for he was back in Pains in the after noon. Bne 1 may have left before noon, or else she traveled'fast, for she was, at Namur at 4.30.’ In- Belgium the court carriages aw aited her, and every deference paid to her rank. Before quitting the Tuileries she took leave of the officers and ladies of the court who, were-coming on and going oft' duty, and thanked them graciously for their services, &c. Some of them would fain have accom panied her,>hut-she said : "No,” that nobody could go with her. Meanwhile Pietrie was close at hand,, In an inner room, and they went off together. By a’ rather curious co iucidence,. the three principal members of the Imperial family were at one and the same time in 'Belgium, but without commu nicating. The usual puerilities were in dulged m by the populace. They tied handker chiefs oyer the “ N’s” in the railings of the Tuileries, pulled : down < the eagles from the topcf the posts, and replaoed them by gar lands Of immortelles. On the walls various menacing spd facetious inscriptions were made,such-as dDeath to robbers,” “Lodg ings to let,” &e.All over the town people to day are wasting their time and defacing buildings by a hasty and rough removal of Im perial emblems. The golden “ E's” and “ N’s” in tlie small.green medallions on the facade . of the new-< opera ; house were being chiselled offuwhen T passed at nooft ta-day. Some time-before, driving into -the Place du Carrousel, I saw a unmoor of people col lected and gazing, wistfully at the , blank bas relici-of ;theEmperqr'6ver‘the"gatewaiy inthe' restored part of tha.palace facing the river. -I. dai'e say by this time it has met with rough usage. As a work of art it is not much re; gretted. You,have hoard of the destruction of Horace Vefnct’s portrait of Napoleon 111. in the throne room-at the Hotel de Ville, and that the Empress’s bust, narrowly escaped a like fate'tft the hands of these silly iconoclasts. Ip some things the - French will always he children. ft Iu tlie Tallleries. ; The following i» a oircumstantial accouut of whatoccutl'ed-inhh&'TaUeriesgardon: !4* thp.moiuqnt at iVtbicli,the Right; deserted tlie, ChaiubOy,invaded by the' peopte,aud whpu Tt TU!tJ < 1 - v 1 S\ 4. * 1 it 1 the word Republic was in every mouth, the crowd in the Place de la Concorde forced the great ; gates of the Tuileries, which were guarded by a post of Zouaves of the Guard/ The eagles which ornamented the railings had been already broken down, without opposi lion.' The column was headed by the Garde Mobile and by. the national Guards, a large number of the former having assembled m the morning on the Place de la Con corde at the foot of the statue of Mar- soon as the large basin was passed, the Volti gears of the Guard were seen massed in the reserved garden and the crowd stopped. Then M. Louis Kavenez, of ■ the Mobile, was delegated to come to an understanding with the soldiers. He left with a white handker chief on the end of his mnsket,and was joined on his, way by-M. Victorlen Sardou, then by another person. General Mellinet was on the terrace. The messenger approached him and spoke in nearly the following terms: “ The republic is proclaimed. I come in the name of the people and the National Guard to demand an • entrance Into the palace, which is our property. We promise to cause it to be respected.” The cro wdapproaehed-; jthe-General mounted on a.cbair and pronounced the following adar&s: “ Gentlemen,. I ask nothing more than to inarch out my troops on condition that the post ,shall be.confided to the National, Guard, on duty here. In addition, t declare that If one of my men is molested, I am a General, and I shall do my duty. “ Down with the Em peror!" cried the people—“tee will enter.” The General made asign.thattbe flag hadjuat been lowered. Then the Guards National and Mobile lining thS road 'uhder the peri style,.which leads from the Tnileries to the Carrousel, allowed the crowd to defile, which eheered r hutabstained-.fromdoinglhe-Blight-~ est damage. Deserted. ■ Sgbjoined are some details concerning the apartments of the Tuileries: The palace was absolutely deserted; the people of the kitchen had alone hot deserted. A. gentleman, who said he waa Sub-Conser vator of the Palace of St. Cloud, and secre tary to General Lepic, also remained. He handed a key toil: Kavenez, wherewith the latter penetrated into thereservediapartments, going by himself. The General’s secretary was deeply moved. “ Ah! sir,” said he to M. Kavenez, “it is frightful! The poor Empress! how basely they abandoned her! All those persons whom she pam pered left her.” The reception-rooms on the first story preserved their usual aspect, but from the Place de Carrousel one .could 1 see that the curtains had been removed from the windows. On the ground-floor the disorder was inexpressible. M. Eavenez’s impression was that the Empress had just left; every thing bore witness to that precipitate depar ture. Let us return to the Imperial apart ments, encumbered with empty trunks, work boxes, and open bonnet-eases; in the Em press’s chamber a . bed was still unmade. M. , Kavenez. when traversing.the suite, of apartments which had been occnpied by the Emperor and his son, found: On a sofa there was a child’s sword, half unsheathed; on the floor, in the midst of a heap of copies of Paris newspapers, lay a revolver-case; here and there slippers’ and chairs. In all the cup boards,, empty, -cigar-boxes, and, strange enough, a great number of phials of phos phate of iron. ~ . In the Prtuce Imperial’* study, little leaden soldiers-,' put in motion by turning a handle, were lying on the carpet. An exer cise-book for writing historical themes was open on the table. One leaf was entirely cov ertd withasmall and„correct handwriting. It begins thus: “Louis XV. Bourbon, Fleury (1723-1741). Eegencyresumed. 80urb0n,1723-172(;.

Kupture with Spain, which country displays Austrian tendencies, f ‘&c. In one of the Empress’s rooms the book for the palace service was found. In the passages, generally hit even in the day time,there was a vague oaor of burmngoil proceeding troul the lamps hutshortly before extinguished. Iu an other room A Breakfast Bad Been Interrupted. it was of a most simple character, eou sisting of a boiled egg, a little cheese, and some-bread. In the Emperor’s apartment several maps of Prussia—busts and statuettes of the Imperial Prince, a greathuinbcr of little painted figures, representing Prussian soldiers and officers in uniform; also, volumes with annotations. Let us also mention, along with other objects abandoned to their fate, a. fJ-reek cap with a peacock’s feather, and inside the letters C. £. N. embroidered in sold. No damage whatever has been done in the in terior of the Tuileries. Besides Gardes Mobiles as well as National Guards were posted within to prevent entrance. A repast was ordered in the kitchen for the irregulars. might -be-we bnt, the wine served was execrable. The following has been published: “The voluminous correspondence of the Imperial family with numerous contemporary f persous lias been seized on thefrontier by the vigilance of the Prefect of Police. Those letters belong to history ; in connaequeuce, the Minister of the interior has instituted a commission of the following members to classify those curious documents and prepare them tor publication; MM. de Keratry, Prefect of X s olice, President; Lavertujon, Vice-President; Estauceliu, Gag netir and Cochin. « ; “ Leon Camjbettaj “Minister of the Interior.” “ Purls Pium.” Some of the Emperor’s enemies have taken a characteristically French revenge in scrawl ing about the walls facetious sallies at him. The Tuileries are covered with such notices as “ (Je logement a louer “ Louer , a cause a * c xpulsion.” One satirist has taken the trouble to chalk down a stanza which may be new to some of your readers: “ Les deux Napoleous les glories sont egales, Quoiqu’ ayant pris les cnemins inegaux; L’un de l’Europo a pris los capitales, L’autre au pays a prix les capitaux.” Others have amused themselves by scratching out the “m ” in “ L’Empereur,” and leaving what is intended for a play on the word “pear.” No pun is too, bad for Paris. The most fastidious wit, however, will probably prefer this method of wreaking vengeance upon imperialism to those usually employed in moments of political excitement. These scrawls and the destruction of imperial em tjleins are not, hpwever, the only or the most conspicuous signs 1 have seen of the revolu tion. A large “tree of liberty” has been planted near the Hostile and covered with nags and dowers. THE POPE AND FRANCE. Interview of Cardinal Bonaparte with tbefope.

CHBISTZNE NILSSON. Her First Appearance in imerlqb Tribune says of the appearanew of Mile, Nilsson in New Pork last mght: When Mr. Maretzek led the prims donna upon the stage, they saw a slight and graceful figure, beautifully dressed in white, with a few 1 simple trimmings of green leaves and* whito blossoms; a fair, sweet face, a charmingsmile, deep eyes, and the light golden hair which ist the glory of the Northern wontenw She bowed.-gracefully before the stormi oi welcome, but with a little dis composure; which' was hot unpleasant to see; and then, after a few notes of tprelude from the orchestra, sho hurst into the intro ductory recitative of the «• Angels ever Bright' and Pair j’l from Handel’s “ Theodorai” For' : all our expectations, the first tones took us by surprise. From one so young, so delicate, we> were not prepared for anything like the volume and richness of sound which the first: measures displayed. As the song went on, and.' from the stately prelude she passed to -th’o ethereal tenderness of the touching old song, ‘ breathing out its tender and pensive strains' _withsacfi rare purity, such perfect intonation, such incomparable softness, our wonder grew ' that in this young girl should thus be united excellences which it' has seldom, been given the greatest singers to combine in' their highest perfection—majesty, richness, power, and delicacy like the breathing of a gentle breeze. As a mere piece of vocalism, the song was imperfect; as an interprets— tation of the composer no lover of Handel' could like it; the phrasing was not always' ■ natural',"and the senfiment was exaggerated. ~ But it was an.... admirable. ..test: .0r... some-- ofthe best qualities of Mile. Nillson’s phono-'/ menal voice, and an indication of what ex quisite effects she must be capable of pro ducing on a stage where heartfelt in spiration is less required, and great dramatic talent has a better scope for its exercise. The same extraordinary gifts of voice were equally well displayed In her second piece, the ■ wad-scene of “Ophelia”from the Hamlet of Am broise Thomas; but in this she is showed • more fully than in Handel’s song the true re finement of her style, the extent of her vocal < culture, and her marked talents as an actress which not even the restraints of the concert stage could wholly conceal. ' -; It is not difficult, even after a single hear ing, to pronouiicfe upon the secret of Mile. Nilsson's success. -. She- is young, she is beau tiful, she is charming in her ways, and she has /one of the most exquisitely lovely voices ever / given to a woman. "It is a. voice altogether; exceptional. Its purity is perfect; its quality - is without a flaw; its evenness; from the lowest tones of the soprano register even to those empyrean hi gilts which Oarlotta Patti glories in scaling,has no parallel within our ex istence., There is not a harsh, nor a shrill, nor a husky note in its whole range. Allis ex quisitely sweet, all is fresh and beautiful as the singer’s own fape. Her transitions from the upper to the lower register are not always perfectly managed, and as a mere vocalist she is certainly surpassed by many singers who have visited this country ; but there can be ' no question that she is an artist of very high jiecnmnlifihmenta and almost unliinlteacapa hilities. THE COURTS. Tbe Weaver Homicide. Oyer and Terminer— Judges Allison and Paxson.—*’ After our report closed yesterday a Jury, was obtained in the case of John Weaver, charged with tho murder of hia wife Fanny, on the oth of - April lost, at. 1104 Par rißh street. . * The testimony yesterday showed that the deceased Whs found dead in the yard of her house, and a post mar tew examination developed tho fact that, in addition to bruises upon her person, the sixth rib was broken, and the end had penetrated tho liver, causing hemorrhage and death, weaver wae arrested shortly afterwards, while in bed asleep, and did not appear to understand the chrrgo preferred against him. A boy, eight yoars of age,a nephew of the prisoner and deceased, testified that t-arly in the day there had been a quarrel between his uncle and aunt, the latter striking her husband un the bead with a tumbler, and ho in turn striking her in tho face with his fist. L'ator in the evening. St. John Davis, who was in the a par ticipant in a dance, struck Mrs. Weaver, kicked her in the breast, and then forced her out iuto the yard, where the boy afterwards saw her lying, and heard her say she was dying. Tho lad denied that the prisoner klckod or struck his wife after the blow in tho face first re ferred to. This morning the case was resumed. Another boy,of oight years of ago, the brother of tho deceased, was called as a witness, and testified that when the prisoner struck his wife she fell down on tho steps. Afterwards Mr. Davis struck her, and then bit hor with a towel rack . Davis then kicked her out into tho yard. Jnmes Mulligan, an adult, who was present on tho -night-oft he occurrence.-testified that Weaver and wifo ' and Dorisandwifo and others were together drinking iu the house ; Weaver and his wife quarrolied and wit- ' ness interfered; Weaver laid on tho floor, while his wile suton the stops leading upstairs; she then made no complaint about boiug hurt; next Mr. ami Alrs.Davi*. not into a quarrel, and ho put his wife out the front rloor on to the sidewalk; witness went up stairs and about two hours afterwards heard tho noise oftalking below, but could not distinguish the words ; a few miu- J utes afterwards Davis came ap-stair? and wont to hia- • room and sont for something to drink ; shortly after- * wards Davis wont down stairs, and in a few minutes - came up and tolu witness in rogard to the body, and tho- • two took a light to look ; Weaver was not down stairs at the time, but was afterwards found in bed asleep. Tho case for the Commonwealth presented no facta other than those above stated, and the testimony on that v aide closed at 12 o’clock. • Mr. Oohlschtuger for the prisoner inquired if the 'Dis trict-Attorney proposod to press the coao. Mr. Ooht schlagor said there was not a particle of evidence to Im plicate the prisoner in the death of his wife. . Alter consultation with tho judges, Mr. Hagert stated that the Commonwealth did not think there was eridenco Nulliclent to convict the prisoner. At seven o’clock in tho evening Mrs. Weaver had been struck ou the nose by Mr. Weavor, but tho subsequent occurrence, whou Davis struck Mrs. Weaver, was an hour and a half after. this,und there waa doubt in regard to whether the socoud attack did not enuse the death. JudgeAllsionsaiditwasonly upon the ovidenco oF > witneßS, so far as could bo found and produced, that a , judgmeut could be found. The witnesses have been examined and their testimony leads the Uommouwoalth’s, ollicors to the conclusion that a verdict should bo ren dered against Weaver. In that conclusion tho Oourt concurred, as no judgment could bo rendered upon any verdict against the prisoner. Death was caused by th»* rupture of tho liver and the fracture or tho rib, while the only blow struck by the prisoner . was upon the face of the . deceased an hour and a half before violonce was inflicted upon: Mrs. Weaver by another person The Court, therefore* 1 agrees with the District-Attorney that tho testimony would not justify a verdict of guilty agulnst tho ' prisoner. , ~ .. . l A verdict of not guilty was then rendered by thojuryv * Weaver was then required to enter bail in ®sooto an- i ewer the charge of assault and battery upou bis wife. —New Orleans puts forward a citizen, 88 years old, who is just hoginning to cut his teeth, and be weaned shortly. —The veiled women of Egypt exhibit a ; dawning appreciation of their “ rights” by demanding air and sunshine. —A Maine woman was so much affected by" her husband’s eloping the other day that she>< got drunk and drowned.a litter of nine pigs, —We are sumrised at the coolness of tha censusdaker who reports- that- ‘‘ there -is -no falling off'at Niagara.” . r —Though, the: citizens of Strasbourg have lost their clock they still keep, an accurate watch. : "' :' / ' —Bath, N.
