New YORK, July 8, 1858
Were it not for a reviving breeze to-day, the

The Riviera abduction ease still presents its
checkered phasis: The gallant &mare holds
court, in comfortable quarters, at the Napoleon
Hotel, Hoboken, and receives visitors in state,
with a cigar and a bottle flanked by his sword and
military trappings. Jastioe Whitley says he can't
get bail, and so he is safe for the present; but
such scamps always• enlist friends from the very
morbidness of human sympathy ; so he will, very
likely, make good his olearande yet, with hairesa
and all. .
A heavy burglary was committed last night in
Brooklyn, of $1,300 in gold.

froth the French Government in reference to the
murder of the crew of the " free labor" ship Re
gina Cceli, off the coast of Africa, and the subse
quent capture of the vessel by the British mail
steamer Ethiope. It appeared that the N'essel was
nqt talon possession of by the Ethiope from any
sympathy with the nogroea on boar 4. hut from a
feeling that the- crew had been murdered, apd
that the emigrants on board wore pirates. The
only difficulty that had arisen hod been whe

when the emigrants rose on the rest of the crew,
and who bad all along declined to assent to the
oapture of the vessel by the Ration°, was liable to

a more permanent and valuable form , of admini
stration. under the direct responsibility of a mini

Mr. Bright untie a lengthy speech on Indian
affairs In general, and stated that, although, be
considered the bill felled in one or two points, be

that the Governor• Generalship should be abolished,
the position of that officer being too high and his
power too gitmt; and that India should ba di
vided Into fine or Si; presidenoics, with presidents
or Nord rank, each divielon being entirely folio
pendent.of the others: Re urged that India
should be governed fur Indian Interests, and re
commended Government, the moment the bill
passed, to issue a proclamation offering a general
amnesty as the (intact done by the Queen as the
sovereign of, India. Mr. Bright made sundry
other propositions, and concluded but speech amidst
loud cheers.

of hie remarks ho thus alluded to the American
difficulty: "I may, perhaps, advert to circum

a light one, I hope—upon the relations which

The G r omtitutionnel 'eiplalug this foot hy show'
ing, that although the United' States have deve
loped their strength; and are in.:leaf ng, in a pro
portion hitherto unknown, the extent of their ter
ritory, the'Rritialt•tition is by no insane intirn'
clated, nor does she:fear their •army or their fleet. The length of time the Government of 'the United
States has been reaming the Mormons to /3 103 fi E •
sion is not calculated to give a grand idea of its
military strength. The American navy, which
appears large on paper, because the steamboats
which convey passengers on the lakes and rivers
are included In the effective farce; but in ease cf
war Great Britain would have an immense sum
riority. The English Government is conciliatory
because the United States supply the English ma: !
nufaoturers with cotton, whioh artiolo provides
employment for so large a portion of the 'English
people.
But, says the Con - stitittionnd, if the Eng
lish people have need to purchase cotton,
the Americans will feel an equsl necessity
to find purchasers. Be that, although the
English Government is ever,ready to make
sacrifioes for the maintenance of perm, the Ameri
can people would suffer most by a war between the
two countries. War would not deprive England
of cotton, for the American planters would send
their produce to Havre, Antwerp. Rotterdam, and
all the northern ports. They would send their
cotton into English ports in neutral ports, and the
Americans' would draw their spun cotton from
England by a similar conveyance. The only In
convenience to England would be that the inter
vention of a third party between the buyer and
seller would increase the price of the cotton to the
English manufacturer, and the Americans would
probably try every expedient, and might finally
succeed, in manufacturing the raw material at
home. The Comoitationnel concludes thus:
"The manufacture of cotton la for England the
occupation and life of 1,000,000. or 2,000,000 inha
bitants. It feeds entire provinces. During the
late oriels on that side of - the channel. thousands
of operatives wore supported by public charity,
What, then, would be the consequence ' when those
cotton manufacturers who work five days out of
six to clothe foreigners, should lose that market?
Who can tall.what might happen? his then that
'England misht tee a terrible revolution break out
at home. The' cotton question would be converted
into a soiiial question. ,-It is the tenUment oh that
situation which renders England so prudent and
to moderate with regard to the United States. and
which, on the other band, inspires the United
- -BMWs With %an , assurance: which; In, ease of ne
cessity, she might carry to a degree of temerity."

THE COURTS.
YESTERDAY'S PROCIRDINISS
THE -KIRKPATRICK POISONIVI,OASF4..:
(Reported for The Press
Qtraarsa Sas stone—Judge Allison.—At the open,-
Big of the court, yesterday morning„ ME.
firewater called the attention of the (wart to come,
remarks which had appeared in The Press of that
morning, in relation to his client, Mr. Robert B
Kirkpatrick, which, he was of opinion, would have
a tendency to prejudice his ease before the jury,
and woe, in some degree, in violation of the rule
laid, down ,by,his Honor. :Mr,..Brewster also re
ferred to the publication of Judge Kelley's open
log in the same paper, and intimated that the re
marks in The Press had been furnished by the
phonographic reporter who made the report of the
opening speech ; and pround up by Baying he had
nothing either to hope or fear from the newspapers.
Judge Kelley explained, and said that he bad
been kindly asked for the report of his opening,
for publication in The Press, which be had much
pleasure in furnishing; but with the preliminary
remarks be bad nothing to do, and did not know
by whom they were wretten.
Judge Allison Bald there was no application be
fore him upon which he was called to not, if, in
deed, he bad any power, which he doubted ; bat
that, even if he had, be should be satisfied that the
publication was of a character to do injury to any
party on his trial.
Whereupon Mr. Brewster smiled quietly, nodded
his head in approval of the doctrines laid down by
the court; and doubtless feels perfectly satisfied
with the opportunity we afforded him of making a
little quiet capital with the jury.
Now we have a word or two to say. We said
not one word in our preliminary remarks on this
ease yesterday in toe slightest degree prejudicial
to the case of the defendants or anyone of them,
as no one knows better than lgr.lirewster. A de
scription of the personal appearance, habits, and
demeanor r of any of the parties in an important
patio like this, increases its interest, Mid is brim

is above eighty degrees in the shade there muntbe

hod nothing either to hope or fear from the news
papers, we will, provided he promises to take care
of his precious health, and not be getting up ex

good speech which we know be will make in the
present ease, if he furnishes us with a duly cord.
tied copy thereof.
Mr. Edwin Kirkpatrick moss-examined by Mr.
Brewster.—The difference in the ages of my bro
ther and myself is about five years; there are
eight brothers in all, and three sisters; T was on
good terms with my brother; Robert B. Kirkpat
rick, up to the attempt , on ,my life; I did not tee
him for-mule time preview) to jannary.,lBsB ;• the
last time I met him weSanvemed together', had I
met hiM in the street, I should haveapoken to him ;
it must have been a couple, of months prior to
January, 1858, when I saw him last ; there has
never been any law-stilt prior tolbia; lam very
sure of it: I - reeogniie the bond handed'to me ;
it is for 829,998, double the .original amount;
this was entered up October 28.1858, in the Diatriot
Court. I protium° from the endorsement I ordered
it satisfied at my brother's request; I lad corres
ponded with my brother in the fall of '57, or win
ter months, I can't say which ; I haYe letters of
my brother"with me; I have' visited his house;
Alexander was at the store when letteralfos, 5 and
8' wiire received; I am the prosecutor in this ease;
these letters yrerh 'delivered by my - Partners
,or
clerks to me, with the exception of one which was
delivered to me in person frogs the,regged boy; he
watt white; I shouldtidge he wad from twelve to
,i
fourteen years old ; did net hitewhen he
went out I I opened the letter immediately on de
livery; (several letters were here handed to wit
ness, who cold he beier wrote the marks E. K.
upon them ;) they are forged ; I do net know the
handwriting of the body of the letters; I knew
that no persona had a right to send thee);
onimymene letters I never paid attention to.
When too envelope and package were oil the.
clock, no one was present; tbe,nionthly nurse seas
present when I handed it to my lady; oft'er the
receipt of the pie I thought the-handwriting ;on
the envelope was mybrother's ;. this was about ono
year after dm reception of the letter end package;
itrwas one year is week after"; the pto woe received. ,
on Friday, thei 16th of January, 1858; I made no
inquiry as to who had left the package, •at , this
time; I staked none of my servants about it,-or
who had left, the package ; when it was handed to
me I took it to the store and put it in the money
draw of the firm's desk, where it remained until I
took it out to take it to the Detectives' office ' • in
the month of May, 1857, I inquired who bad left
the package when the pie came;- I did not
inquire of the servants who lived with mo
when the package came ; it wee in the hands' of
Ideut. line day some two or three weeks ; I called
there for, t, and received it from Otboor Carlin f
took it to my, store and placed it in the money
drawer, to which all my partners had access;
Charles (Win, clerk, also had access to the drawer;
it remained there until the poisoned pie was re
ceived; after employing counsel I placed it in hie
hands; I took it to my counsel; I nos sure of this;
I did not compare the writing with my brother's
until the ree was received; I compared it with
letters I had received and with other letters re
ceived at different times; I compared it with a
dozen letters of his; I was assisted in the comps•
risen by Mr. Charles Culls ; be suggested that it
was R. B. Kirkpatrick's hardwriting, written
with a steel pen ; this was the first suggestion I.
bad received about it; I then compared them
to satisfy myself as to the suggestion; when
he spoke of it and I looked at it it etruok
my eye, and, along with my brother Frank,
and another ono whoienerne I do not rtoolloot as
sisted me in the comparison; the oomparizon was
made several times; tI did not call on Robert and
state to him what 1 had done; I did not call 'on
him to make any explanati•n before I arrested
him before the Recorder ; I stated I believe the
letter. No. 12 to be my brother's hand writing
under disguise; I else eluted then, that I believed
it to be his under disguise, and certain letters in
it were not under disguise; I believe it to be all
written. by my brother under disguise; I did not
say certain letters resembled his; I did not soy
before the Recorder' I can see great similarity of
his hand writing tinder disguise," and can say
further now, and I did there say, that certain let.
tera in the letter were certainly his without doubt;
Mr. Culin's suggestion was to the envelope alone,
and was in January,lBsB ; the pie was received the
15th of January,lBsB ; I made a memorandum from
one I hive at the store by whiob I tlx the date the
15th; the one at the store I made about the time
the pie was received; I took those dates from the
newspapers and not from the memorandum at
the 'store; I have not seen it at the store for BOlT
ral months; I took the -dates from the Evening
Bulletin, some other date• I took my memory . ; I
road the notes of the evidence on Monday and
Tuesday at my store ; r read ray own °Odom, but
lurve not since ; can't say if the pie wes placed
in the upper or lower store-room; I did not ere it
until the dry it wits cut, which was on Monday
following the Friday it was received ; when it was
.delivered I did not look at it; it was opened in
my presence, but I did not look at it; cannot re
member what deserts we had on S iturday or Sun
day; we lied a mines pie of our own baking; other
pies were presented to us during the holiday sea

besides this one ; one came from my brother Alex
ander or his wife; did not receive one from my
brMherWilliain I ; am en good terms with him;

other desert on Monday besides the pie; I did
not observe how much my son took of the pie; I
did not take any of the pie away with me that
Any; the eecond day after. on Wednesday, I took
pitieb to my store ; on Monday me - dined at the
usual hour, at
were at half

felt nine in the evening ; did not see the
,•
pie looked up; • my wife plaited it in a cupisSard in
the lower More room, I think ; the pie I took to
my; store, I think my wife gave to me; my wife
took the first pie to the doctor; I took the balance
to my store and gave it to the doctor ; he keeps a
shoe and straw store ; this was on Wednesday or
Thursday following; my child sleeps in a trundle
bad in the some room with her and my wife; he
was not awake that night; my lady was aroused
by my getting-up ; she- wet net sick. nor:was the

or druggist; I roused no ono but my lady; I did
not boneult any physician the next day; I thok no
remedy or phy-le at all; I had no discharge from
my stomach on Monday ; I attended to my business'
at the store; bad not dined or eaten anywhere he
aides with my family; we bad no wine for dinner;
I have often had pains in my storneoh ; lam sub
ject to the dyspepsia; what I eat, I can't say if it
was 'laudanum, spices. brandy. or opium in the
pie ; I did not observe the absence of any ingredi
ents of a regular mince pie; I observed no strong
taste, which I attributed to on over-dose gf brandy ;
it wee a bitter taste; the pie bad sugar upon it; It
was sugared whes. Wares sent ; it bed a dark stain
in the upper must as big as the palm of my hand;
it was sugared heavily ; I observed the stain on
the pie at the table ; the pies brought to our table
are generally sugared before they are brought to
the table; Mr. Colin told me whose daguerreotype
it was, but I did not call upon the original ; my
brother Alexander may also have told me ; made
no eff,rt to ferret it nut; prior to residing in Arch
street, we lived in Ninth, between Race and Vine
street, about a year, in 1851 or 1852; I have re
sided in Arch Street nearly six years.
Cross-examined by Mr. llsslehurst.—l had no
personal dispute with Josiah Jones; he resided
with my father in Arch street for nearly eighteen
years, as a house servant and waiter; he may
have been at the store of my father; he went with
my father to market; when ho was out of town,
be and my mother wont to market; he was very
negligent sheet his bounces for a few days before
tht fire; those suspielous oir •umatanoes.l have
only from hearsay ; the day after the fire be was
loth to do any work ; this I think was Sunday; the
are was on Saturday; on Monday I went to the
book of the stable myself ; he was loaning on his
pitehperlc, oaring for nothing apparently, and was
not working ; I spoke to him, and he answered me
abruptly ; .110,10011 employed by my.father ;.he re
mainatill the end of his month, something like
ten days or two weeks; my fotinly told me he was
'discharged ; I never had env wane( ditpute; he
always did willingly everything I told him to do ;
he was not more kind to me than' any other mem
ber of the family ; my mother said she was cerbrin
he set fire to the stable, also Mr. Lox ; I did not
discharge Jones; after be left I did not meet him
for some time; the first time I saw him after
wards was when he was arrested ; he is following
painting pow, I believe; I charged him with the
arson; he denied it; he was called up into my
father's chamber directly after I charged him with
the arson; ho remained some two weeks after this
-time
