AUGUST 25, 1857. fcROWNER’S QUEST LAW, A tragic drama, which, occurred in New York on Friday, has already proceeded to tho closo of Act 11. In the bar-room of a dining saloon in Broadway, an amateur actor hap pened to moot a Tombs lawyer, (of tho spe cies vulgarly called Shyster,), and tho result was a quarrel. The lawyer, a powerful man, struck the actor, who, as tho report states, “ drew a revolver and tired twice in quick suer cession,” at his opponent. The first ball hit the man’s arm, and passed 1 into the breast, in juring tho lungs. The second ball passed through the mouth, and upwards through the head, a part of which was shot off. Tho vie, tim fell to tho floor—a corpse. Tho actor fled, but, soon after, gave himself up. A jury was empauneled, and it was proved that the lawyer had first struck the actor. Tho jury retired for an hour and a half, and returned a verdict, simply stating tho fact that one man “ came to his death by a pistol-shot, fired” by the othor. Tho jury were then discharged with the thanks of tho coroner. ‘ All this time the actor was in custody. His was now brought Into the room, and tho co]- roner addressed him as follows: I “Thejury in this cose hare rendered the fol lowing verdict.” (Heads it and continues.) “From the testimony which is given in this oase, it leaves the matter open, and rshatl, therefore, disoh&rge you upon my ourn responsibility. The oa3o is not • one, in my opinion, whioh could warrant mo to hold you. It is dearly a osse of self-defonce. I shall, however, hand the paper over to tho, grand jury for their future action. You are discharged, sir.” . The actor’s friends gathered around him and congratulated him on bis escape. “Ho seemed much gratified at his release” [hot a little sur prised, too, no doubt,] and came forward an|t shook 'hands with the, coroner, thanking liihi at the same time, for thepatience which he anjl the jury had evinced in the investigation.!’ . The report does not add that the party ad journed to have a friendly drink together,bvjt it isprobable that they did. | ' In thia case it must be observed that the jury gave a verdict of “Manslaughter.'’ Jt ahld hpvwqrd ahoift the man-shooting being ,“clearly, w -case of self-defence,?’ That was 'after , t he jury had’.been discharged and their functions ended. Now, a coroner is ex-officio a magistrate, with power to commit persons oven suspected of guilt. Hero, it is not mere suspicion—it is fact . Tho body of tlio slaughtered victim was itself tho accusing wit ness of tho crime. It bore two wounds—“ tho least a death to nature.” Tho jury, bad, nor -fliinh ourselves so good, that wo cannot, listen tore monstrance; nor aro we afraid to bear'bur faults, as if wo were unable or unwilling to correct them.. Especially is the grgeo of kind and respectful consideration duo to, the claims of women, for whom we legislate'' without allowing them tho right of lrtstJjictiop)r or holding ourselves responsible to them through tho ballot-box. . When women , defiantly organize themselves against us, they must rely upon such power as they- have : for their success; but when they appeal to us, the whole state of the case is changed) then wo owe it. to our own manliness, to justlfcd and right, to do whatever wo may be is our duty. , I If women were fairly and', fully protected from all tho oivil and social wrongs for which men are responsible, we know that they would never complain of their exclusion) pr eiotap tion as we prefer to say, from the .exercise of political power. Therefore, let the lady hi heard for whatever of foal worth-and force there may be in what sho has to say, which, indeed, they should not ask, and which cer tainly will never bp-granted, opposed as it is by so many social and pollticaV obstaclesfand especially by that sense of delicacy and refine ment which isthe characteristic. jbf the gentle Bex.— Ed. Peess. It; 1 . .Healthful activity is a law of ble restlessness in an indicstionof jjssaSe. When there is a toil play of all the powbps, whep action and repose duly.relieve.eaoh qffioa,vju-ii ej;tertml Tuictiergfosof life, it is well witffthe Individual; and well with sooioty; butinaetionand spasmodic' Impulses, perpetual self-oonsoioueness and self-in vestigation,’ dissatisfaction with daily duties, and strife for unattainable objects, prove individual unbealthiness or social error. ‘ Judging by this plain rale, there is evidently a wrong in tho condition of women. Their povttjcm is a subject constantly forcing itself upon oar at tention as something to bo considered and amended; and the freer our state of society beoomos, the more distinctly those complaints are uttered. In the far East, under Mahemmedan rule, wo hoar no voice diroot from the women, hut wrong is just as dearly indicated in the general acknow ledgment of the wickeduess oftho sex. “ I stood at the gate of Hell,” says the Prophet, “andlo! mostof its inmates were women.” “Con sult thorn;” says another, “ and do the contrary of what they advise.” “ Women are deficient in sonso and religion” is ono of the common proverbs. Europe furnishes usstrikingexamplesof feminine discontent. In Germany the Emancipirto Frauen aro Bpokcn of in whispers by womon, and tvith sneers by men. Yet thoro thoy are, & large class under violent protest, who will smoke, wear masculine habiliments, will go about whore they ploaso, and sneer in their turn at the restraints submitted to by their more peaooful sisters. In England tho fordo of rldioulo is brought to bear upon tho rebels; tho caricature of the Hen chartists, which oonvulsod John Bull with a broad grin, proved a potont woapon against the aspiring petticoats.' But'tho expression only cun bechocked, Ihe'iliscont-ont remains, and breaks out from time to time, id tho most unexpooted quarters. Horc, however, in America, whoro women aro troated with tho utmost deference, hero where the state of society is indubitably freer than In any country tho sun over shone Upon—hero arises the most gonoral expressions of discontent, and here, for tho first time, tho discontent shapes itself in a form that for numbors and oharaotor may bo called a party. , Now, that there in solnottiing wrong in a state of things that will permit of so much diaauasion aid dissatisfaction, is cloarly evident. To find out tio exact nature of tho evil may not bo so easy. 411 theories on ono slde or the other in relation to the position of women will be most likely to mislead us. To settle just what a human being ought to do, we must first know what ho is capable of, not only at present, but in the possibilities of tho fu ture; and that is what no human being oan judge of for another, muoh loss for a oiass. It is of no use to say that men and women are differently constituted, therefore thoir work is different; and then proceed to ! plan out their separate lives—tho plan cannot bo worked out from any aueh proposi tion* Wo grant tho dlfforonoo, but there wo must stop. We cannot dogmatise upon,that we eon only learn from it as-its results unfold themselves year by year. 1 As function oannot be inforrod from structure, go destiny cannot he deduced from funotion. No hti* man being was ever wise onougb to pronounce such judgment, for’ tho reason that U requires a know* ledge of cause and effeot, oh acquaintance with exlstenoe in its most intimate relations, and a full comprehension of tho destiny of humanity—know* lodge which no one over yet reached to, and whic|i is rendered impossible, by that gradualncss 0? growth in knowledge, whioh is a law of our na ture. Wo judge of truth by fragments. The highest truth disoovoredby one age has always been over shadowed by the higher truth of a succeeding ago. We never have, and, unless our nature is changed,, we never shall acquire that complete knowledge whioh alone can enable us to fix the destiny of any human being. We run great risk by theorising on human life, and attempting to act on these theories, of violating one great principle of our nature, whioh should be the basis of all human relations, viz: the prinoi* plo of justice. - Each human being must determine bis own des tiny, helped or hindered by the conditions under whioh ho grows. It is our duty as members and guardians of a free society, to see that the natural rights of every individual constituting this society, aro guarantied by our laws; and that the condi tions of growth, viz: means of instruction, opportu nity of employment, acknowledgment oftnorit, aro insured by the customs of society. This is alt that the State eon he expected to do for its members—give freedom and opnortunity, amd let each individual provehis own ability. This inll that women oan ask, and this they .ought to *ve. Lot us seo if they have any just cause of oomplaint in relation to the laws or customs of our country. * Do the laws of the laud secure to women the ex* excise of all natural rights? In answering this question, we must atonce make a broad distinction between married andslnglo women. AYith oh'C' the law places men a4dsingle^yroihep‘ ; nnthfersathe footing.'

It the balfot-box he in effect of little consequence, the dis tinction of sex, in regard to it, is of little acoount; but if jttetly regarded as the corner-stone of liberty, and’ the most valued privilege of & free cltisen — bis'only mhans of' enforcing hls'will and securing his rights—tlicn the injustice is of great magnitude; and tho withholding of this right from women is a vioiatibh of the fundamental principle of a Demo eratlo Republic. This conclusion Is unavoidable, unless thcre be something effecting their capacity for its exercise,'oib rkifleiitig its exercise - income pstihlsWith thepdblio interests, whioh may justly suspend’or abrogate the right, in itself unquestion ably a natural ohc, held' in- virtue of their mere humanity. Of this the statement of Jefferson may betaken for the authoritative formula, “Civil gov ernment derives Its just powers from the consent of the goveried. 1 ’ Now. it Is not at all apparent that any condition or circuuijlance, conneotod wlth the 'elective fran chise, lies against its exercise by single women, whatover'of policy, or propriety, or' temporary ne cessity may operate against thomufrled. .. But tho municipal-laws depend ’'’absolutely ujhwi public opinion to- this country.' ‘l,Ol PS therefore consider the ntore immodijito, unquestionable, end important 'bearing whioh the oifstdms,'usages, and influential sentiment of sooioty exert upon the con ditlon'bf ivom'on. i> ,1 : . ■■ ,! vd - •.

In Germany or France, for instance,- women enter] into 1 external life/ os’ artists,’ merchants, book-' keepers,'midwives, Ao.j with a freedom quite un known to us, as a matter of custom, and exciting no, remark. The result of this wider industrial Ilfo is seoh in greater thoroughness of education, earnest ness of purpose, and individuality of oharooter. .Tho rongo’of employments for women is oxtrorriely limited in Onr oOUiltry. If we except the profession of teaching, tbfl/e are no occupations, but the most menial and subordinate ones, really opon to theijn. An occasional artist, physioian, merchant, asJrono mor, is an cccetitricity to be Stared and wondered 1 at, rather than approved and helped forward. For all suoh exceptional oases there is ho provision for education or Support. * 1 Tho custom which excludes Amorican women from varied employments ' oppresses those who do work, heavily; for when a woman bus won herself an honorable position in any unusual line of life, she is ptUl excluded from the companionship and ‘privileges of tho olass to which she should belong, bpbfeuge her'oourßo is unusual.' which all women have to strug gle with, who attempt to widen the range of ooou patioh for their sex, is in tho highest degree dis couraging; This is ontircly wrong. Strength should not be wasted in seeking an opportunity for growth; it should be reserved for using the oppor tunity to its fullest extent, for growing through it, to the full measure of capacity. * The widening of industrial occupations, the opening of a variety of avenues for the exercise of woman’s thought and labor, is a work dearly de manded by our age; it is required by tho broad prinoiplo of justice to tho individual. Let us welcome, then, every effort which U ear nestly made by women to exercise thoir abilities In any field of honorable labor they may chooso. : Stop the sneer at any effort because it is unusual. If 'it be useful, help it forward, that it may no longer be unusual. Let us learn to regard women as human beings as well'as women/ 1 and 'eduoato our girls as well as boys upon the principle of human right. Tho more complete the development of the whole being, the mote healthful'ah9 harmonious will be the action bf every distinctive characteristic.

MiBSESSSWfi:, FROM NAHANT, [Correapoadence or Tho Press.] Nauaht, August 22. ■Tho tranquil life at Nahant win make but a .tamo recital compared with your brilliant account of the gayetics of Nowport. But our quiot little peninsula la not without its attractions. Thenatu ral beauties are striking and singular. It is thrust out into the sea like an arm and Set; tho blue water, with its edge of white surf, cnoirelcs it like a sotting of poarl and sapphire; in one direction, you look out upon the open occen, and in others oyer tho ourving bays to the white walls of the dis tant fishing villages—dearer, alaai to the sight than tho smell. All tho aottages—real cottages— have a Swiss air about them, and oven our hotel,, which standson tho finest site oftho whole headland, looks like an enormous ohnlot, wilh its light balco nies and flights of stops. Thu favorito walks are, of course, along the olifflj, which are bolder and more broken than those at Newport, while curious caves, accessible only at low tide, tempt tho foot of the active and adventurous; but the groat amusemont is driving. Every afternoon the beaches and roads between here and Lynn are thronged with barouches, broughams, buggies, phtetons, pony-chaises, and every sort of vobicle, from tho heavy close car riage to the spider-liko trotting-wagon. Troops of equestrians, too, way bo soon to “scud along tho levol sands.” This stream of coaches empties it self into Lynn, wbeDoo it flows off in dlfforont di rections, along shady roads, through trim country places, or into the wild woods. Thero is not much driving to be had on Nahant itself, though a pub lic-spirited gentleman, the owner of the prettiest cottage and flnost grounds here, has done his best to inorease what thore is, by oponiug a road on tho edge of tho oliff, along the whole extent of his property. It is a uoblo picco of work, and would raako a magnificent drive if tho other cottage owners could be induced to follow his oxample, but thoy aro un wliUug to destroy tho cliff walk and the privacy of their own grounds. Nahant Is greatly indebted to this gentleman in many ways. Tho rows of quiver ing aspens that open in vistas along the road side, and the piotnresque avenuo of willows that loads to Lass point—our fishing head-quarters—are all his planting. Earlier in tho summer he devised something for tho amusement of tho inhabitants, scarcely a less benevolent aot than his nursery, gardening, and engineering. On tho huge stones which support tho balustrade of his cliff road were printed a number of disconnected words, which composed, when properly arranged, a complete sen tence. Tho (Edlpua who put thorn properly together was to win a valuable pearl ring which tho magnifi cent riddlo-givcr had deposited with our boat, Mr. Stevens, with a sealed explanation. After a cha ritably long intorval to allow our brains to work out tho puzzle, tho various answers wbioh hud been sent in woro oponed, and tho prito awarded to'a lucky Boston editor, whoso “guess” was the nearosttothe truth. One of tho chief oxoitemeota of tho season has beon tho visit of a codot corps from Boston, who pitched their camp on a lovely rise, oalled Sumot hill, where fpr three days thoy held their ground against wind and weather. Tho little white tents and bright flags, the gay uniforms of the gentlemen militia, and tho light dreasos of the ladies who went to boo the parade and drill, and listen to tho fine band, presented a lively sceno. But tho third evening they marohod off towards Lynu, and wore hidden by the dazzling rays of the setting sun, to wards )?hloh they took thoir way. A oharity fair is just now''absorbing the interest of every one. It is in aid of an institution for the support of siok and superannuated servants. The ladies of Nahant have been working with a will, and succeeded in making a number of very pretty things, whioh have brought in fin© prices, whilo the post office and sales by auction, condnotod with great spirit, have occasioned tho usual amount of fun. We have no regattas not fetes champetre , but many a pleasant pio-nlc and sailing party, and most of tho titled names which you bavo de lighted to enumerate among the visitors at New port arc to be soon in the traveller's book at our hotel.

[For The Press.] THE FASHIONABLE CHURCH What a Rustic Thinks of It, Me9Brs. Editors : Since I commenced my of sight-seeing in this town of yours, I have heard all manner of puffs of-the “ brilliant oratory ” and “ ahinifig totems ” of acertain Roy. Doctor, whosi congregation, comprisod .the bulk-of the intelli gence and, the largest proportion of the and “most resppotable ” families of the city! Moreover, it was said that nothing vulgar ever en tered there; being in one of' the most ’ fashionable precincts, it was hedged iti on eVe'fy slde 'by thi impenetrable barrier of exclusiveness. 1 Expecting a rich intellootual treat, as well ag a gratification of self pride in an aAsooiation with- so much " u wall 4 pecuniary distinction, I spent an extra minute in brushing my beaver, and a loose “ fip ” in getting my .boots blacked, took my old-fashioned hymn book from tho bottom of my oarpet bag and sallied forth one fine Sabbath morning to see and hear for myself. My attention was soon arrested by a long train of carriages drawn up by tho sidewalk. Tho riohly caparisoned horses, the liveried garbs of the drivers, and the high polish of their silver mountings reflected beautifully the rays of tho morning sun. A little furthor observation con vinced me that I was in tho vicinity of the ohuroh in question, for I saw a lot of soucy-looking people ascending the marble steps of a stately edifice within an enclosure. I ascended tho steps, entered the church, and was crowding through to get a convenient seat, when I suddenly encountered a person who sur veyed inefrom head to foot in less time than it re quires me to state it. I tried to look pious, but to no purpose, as piety waa at a discount. He soon had the measure of my dignity, as heseized a small throe-legged stool and told mo to follow him, whioh I did with the greatest meekness up, or rather down the aisle, noarthe stage-pardon me, 1 mean tho pulpit. After taking the seat so generously be stowed, Hooked around to see if thero was a possi bility of crowding any more in, when lo! I found that one-half the pews wero unoccupied. I then thought I had arrived too soon. Now and then a pew owner would arrive, unlock his pew door, and step in with the indifference of a belle in her private box at the Opera. As I survoyed the orimson cush ioned aeatB,and saw their occupants reclining witb -in, I could not help admiring the striking ex hibitions of improvement in religious exercises since the days whon He, “ who spake as never man spako," addressed his “ mixed” audiences of rich aud poor, publicans and pharisees alike, from the hill-aides and fishing smacks of Judea. After all, thought I, science has overcome tho many obstruc tions in tho road to heaven, whioh the ancient proph ots represented as being so formidable; and the nar row way, to walk in which King David found so dif ficult, has been widened, rolled, and is now adorned with suoh beauty that to walk in it is a mere stroll of pleasure; but, like the privato walks in tho en closures of princes, tho “rabble” aro shut out lest they invado the sanotity of cultivated taste. As I behold tho droomy languor of those around me, I concluded that there was still a possibility of going to heaven on cushions, if we could not go thero on “flowery beds of ease.” I was for a moment en chanted with the scone, and tried to realize a fol low fooling by reclining also, forgetting there was nothing behind to support mo, and I was on the point of losing my equilibrium; I then realized the great golf that separated us. Truly, “they who would pass from hence to me could not,” neither could thoy roturn to the oharmed circle after an association with an individual obliged to sit on a thrco-loggod stool. Bolievo me, I felt forlorn. Every man, woman, and dandy scorned to have cast all thoir care on tho minister, however Thelatter creature is oasily attended to, as its moral respon sibility is a matter of doubt among theologians. One profound doctor of divinity, after the most pa tient investigation, came to the conclusion that if It had a soul, thore was but one divided amongst the entire spooios.

GENERAL NEWS. From the city of Mexico, under date of the 14th inst-, we learn that General Goicooiia had ob tained from the Government a concession for the establishing a line of steamers from New Orleans to Yera Crus, touching at Tampico, and also a grant of the privilege of introducing colonists to the Republic. The question of raising a war reve nue in case of attack from Spain was much de bated. A forced loan, the sale of a portion of the national territory, and a confiscation of ehnrch property, were each recommended, bat the second plan was the most popular. John Quincy Adams, one of the five prisoners who recently escaped from the Hudson county (N. J.Vjail, returned by adviceof his mother, on Satur day, to the jail. Hugh Riley, Joseph Stacy, Charles Toomey, and Michael Mollins are yet at large.

A. fine marble monument twenty-arc feet in height, is now nearly completed, and will soon be placed over the remains of Abbott Laurence, at Mount Auburn, Mass. The monument consists of a Roman Dorio shaft, with a spiral lineof leaves, sur mounted by an antique urn with drapery, standing upon a heavy pedestal. It will be one of toe finest memorials in Mount Auburn. Tho Cleveland Herald states that when the steamer Iron City passed Grand Portage, about seven hundred Indians were there waiting for their payments. There were no provisions, and no fish to be caught. The poor wretches were actually starving, and had killed a horse the night previous as a small “stay-stomach” until the arrival of the Illinois with provisions and pay. They hare seve ral days yet to wait. The Fayetteville Observer contains an inter esting notice of the venerable Henry Potter, United States judgo for the district of North Carolina, an office which he has filled with dignity and ability for fifty-five years, and which, at the great age of ninety-one, he still survives to fill to the satisfaction and respect of the community in which he resides. For fifty-five years he has been a subscriber to the National Inielligmur. On Monday last the barn of Mr. W. Henry, in Marshall county, Ya. } was struck by lightning, instantly killing two young mon, named John Yoong and John Neeley, and entirely consuming tho building and three hundred bushels of wheat.

The police of Cincinnati have succeeded in arresting, in that city, Jerry Cowden, a notorious counterfeiter, in whose possession wero found $1,050 in counterfeit notes on the Commercial Bank of Millington, Md., of all denominations under a thousand, together with all the apparatus for making spurious paper money. The scarlet fever is said to be prevailing in Appomattox (Va.) county to a great extent. One physician, D. P. Robertson, has forty-two cases— some of them very dangerous.

During the last two months a good deal has been done at Cincinnati in the way of contracts for hogs for November delivery. The Price Current of that city says: In toe early part of June, when ii was thought doubtful that even & moderate corn crop could be made, the disposition to make these con tracts was strong and very general throughout the West, and within the last month, when it became apparent that the markets would be entirely clear ed of the old stocks of provisions before the new would come in, tho demand, which had subsided some during theforo part of July, again became more active and prices advanced. During the latter part of June and the fore part of July $6.50 per cwt. seemed to be the prevailing ra-le, and atvrhich we heard of contracts to the ex tent of 7,000 head. During the latter part of July $6.75 was paid for 4,000 head for November delive ry, and $8.50 for the fore part of December. With in the last two weeks about 3,000 head were sold, for November delivery, at $7 per cwt., net. The impression is pretty generally entertained that the pork brought into market early will command high prices. According to-our advices from Illinois there is an active demand for hogs j n that State at $6 net, with more buyera than sellers. ..
