Inesell; , ;telittiore, dive and cooly tad, DlMAllttgastv oelealta, - ' Waanommon, August 10,1800. lint: I have the honor to inform you that the despatch limn Lord John Daniell, dated the 11th of july, 1860, whit& you road to me, and a copy of which you left at this department, has been submitted -to Toe President, with its accompani ment- of prirtted doeuments relative.to, the 'cooly (aide:. -Ile haeglion the poet ((stad, ons!. de r atton'to the three propOsitions which you have been instructed to make. It to unnecessary to ex press Isixoply the perfect agreement between this , Government and that of her pritalllllo Majesty In their eatittiate of the character of the African slave trade. The action of the Government of the United States upon this subject has been so long•oeutinued, so consistent,and 1640 familiar to the civilized world, that I can properly refer to it as the oleareet and strongestinanifeitatiOn °fits opinion ; and I am In structed to say that the Presle ont learns veldt great pleasure, from Lord John Dassell's communica tion, that her Britannia Majesty'e Government can at length see with eatisfaotion the happy results of its efforts and morillem in the cense of humanity, and that the steady diminution of this illegal traffic is accompanied by a'oorresponding development of honorable and luorative commerce on the ooaat of Africa, whiob promisee In the (marmot years to ex tinguish the slave trade in the moat effectual man ner. He regrets, hewe;ver, that this agreeable prospect' hal been overolonded by the fact also communicated, that this trade has again increased within the two last years; and " that preparations are being made" in the Island of Cuba "for pro leouting the trade on the most ext °naive scale, by means of an association." This Intelligente is to be welt founded. The President has long entertained the opinion that the African slave trade will never be nee pressed whilst the efforts for that purpose are con fined to the pursuit and capture of slavers between the coast of Africa and the Island of Cuba. To effect anything positive or permanent, the barns, coons on the African coast must be broken up and the slayers prevented from landing their cargoes in Cuba, or if landed, the slaves must be followed into the interior; and set free from the purchasers. Whenever her Majesty's Government Melt think proper in its disoretlon to enforce the provisions of the treaty with Spain referred to by Lord john Russell, "by which the Spanish Crown undertook' to abolish the slave trade and accepted a sum of - £400,400 to enable it the more easily to do - so," then, and not until then, in the President's opinion, the Airier/le save' trade with the Island of Cuba be abolished. But with this the Government of the United States has no right to interfere. Whre;liowever, holdin thesegeneral views, the President cannot give his a ssent to o t he propositions which have been submitted to him, for the follow. ing lessons, which I proceed to elate in the order in whieli the propositions have been made: First. A systematic plan of ernising on the meat of Cuba by the vessels of Great Britain, Spain, and the United .Statee, • To anode to this proposition • would Involve the necessity of a treaty with Spain' to enable the cruisers of the United States to enter the, waters of Cubs within a merino alive, from the shore. The Spanish Government, so far from having given any intimation that a violation of its sovereignty to this extent; has only reoently made the strongest complaints to this Government against the cruisers of the 'United States upon the alleged ground that they had captured slavers within the Cuban waters. While, therefore, Great Britain has already acquired this right by treaty, the United States do not possess it, and their cruisers would, consequently, be arrested in tho pursuit of savers as soon as they entered the Spanish jurisdiction, whilst the cruisers of Great Britain and Spain could not only continue the pursuit until the slaves had landed, but could follow the slaves into the interior of the island. It is but proper, however; to say the, while the President does not suppose that the Government of Spain Would eater into an arrangement with the United States similar to its treaty with Greetßritain, he could not consent to. any such arrangement, for it wonid violate the wellestablished policy of this country, not to in terfere with the domestic concerns of foreign na tions, nee to enter Into alliance with foreign Governments'.. This Government has Maintained, -and will continue to maintain, a naval force in the neighborhood of Cabs, for the enforcement of its own laws. It will, to the utmost extent of Its power, put down this abominable tinter, and cap ture all American vessels, and Farah all Ameri can citizens engaged in It. The Imeceis winch has already attended our effotts near the coasts of tuba proven that we hat done our 'duty in • this • respect, and this at an enormous expense for the support of the cap tured Africans, for their transportation book to Africa, and for their' liberal maintenance there during the puled of a year after their return. . Second. Laws of registration and Inspection in the Island of Cabs, by which the employment of dares Imported contrary to law mast be detested by the Spanish Whinnies. After what has been said it is nuneeassary to state. that tits Government of the United' States could not ask Spain to pass such laws of' registration. But if this were other , wise, it is quite certain that such awe would have nOlmetical effect. For Hots her Majesty's Govexpment are well &wire, the Mee of; sugar anti the demand foP labor afford the sieve trader Froths which enable' , him to oorrunt the authorities whale di.ey it is to thwart and defeat his otirelnal enterprise,' an d it joint-stook dompantee are established at Havana. for the pewee of redepositing the African slave trade tinder' the eye of the highest officials; of the Island, and with perfect impunity, it would be vain to aerobt that the registrars throughout the coun try would counteract the policy of their superiors faithfullAperforming their duty. Third. A plan of 'emigration from' Chime kepi lated by the , agents of the .turopean nations, he eenjoietion with theeohinese authorities. It le not probable that Lord John Russell ex pected this Government to unite In forming such a plan of emigration from China, for if he had enter tained Ins Idea lie would) scereely_have. omitted "the *sena of the litetted Bates" freim any parti olpatiou in its regulation. Nor can the-President share In the anticipation of her Bei tannleMejaely's Government, that the 000ly trade can be' put on my spoh footing as will relieve It of those feittures of fraud and vielentie whitili render the details of its prosecution scarcely less horrible than those of the middle passage, and he is of opinion that It, would exert a most deleterious innuendo upon every portion of this country to import into It W hew oodles as laborers. In the States where tbie ininitution of domestic slavery, exists these heathen coolies weld demoralise the peaceful, contented, and orderly slaves, very many of whom are slaters Christiana. . In the free States they would be hronght Into competition with our own respectable and Indust:lona laborers, whether of native or fo- reign blab, wbo oonstituto do large a portion 0 oar beet citizens. I avail myself of this opportunity to mew to yon, sir, the assnranse of my high consideration. Wit. Estrin' Tnzecorr, doting Beoretary of State. To W. Douglas Irvine, Erg.,, eta.

NATIONAL Dottor.as MEETING AT FIFTH AND CHESTNUT BTRZATO--SPESCHRS or !dams. JIALDEDAN AND DOVDDERTI , --THE STBAIOET ALECTOEAL nCKET SUPPORTED.--ThOTO WAS a large turnout at Fifth and Chestnut street on Sa turday evening. The room was densely orowded, and although the heat was intense, the people generally kept their seats throughout the entire meeting. Joshua T. Owen, Esq., presided. R. J. Haldeman, Esq., a member at the National Executive Committee, was introduced to the audi ence, and, made •tt very effective and prolonged address. He commenced by saying that he was not op posed to the Institution of slavery as it already ex • fated in the South, bat that be was diametrically opposed to any perpetuation of the foreign slave traffic. The leaders of the Brecklnrldge disunion movement' were most of them pledged to use all the means In their power to continue this stave trade, and therefore he could net unite with them upon their platform. Mr. Haldeman then went into a review of the Charleston Convention, and all the inoidente connected therewith. He gave a history of the characters of the man who !instituted that body aid then referred in detail to the notion of the Baltimore Convention. The Northern delegates had used their best en -1 deavora to favor conciliation in the Democratic ranks, but their prudehoe had been mistaken for cowardice.. They bad been called 131ack Republi cans until they could no longer with consistency refuse to etate theprinciples to which they were pledged, At Baltimore, the Sooesalonista had no right to be permitted to take part in the delibera tions of the National Convention. It was unjust to the conservative Democrats of the South to piece them upon the same floor with Dlsunloniets and traitors. That the difficulties in the Democratic party might be amicably adjusted, however, the Secessionists were admitted to the Convention. How they acted will be long remembered. Mr. Haldeman then proceeded to recall some transactions reflecting little credit upon many of the Pennsylvania leaders who bad co-operated with the Secessionists. Mr. Arnold Plumor bad been the recipient of favors at the hands of the Demooratie party for the last twenty years. He was n delegate at Baltimore, and remained in the Convention until after Stephen A. Douglas was j nominated. After the nomination, Mr. Plumer asked Mr. H. to use his influence on having him placed upon the committee to inform Judge Don. 'glee of his nomination. After thus giving his adhesion to the support of the nominees of the National Democratic Con vention, Mr. Plumer had the assurance to take a seat in the Dreokihrldge Convention, denounced Mr. Douglas, and placed himself aide by aide with the footionfits and Dlinsoloalsts. [Great applause followed this revelation ] Mr. Haldeman _proceeded to state the claims of the straight out Dammed° electoral ticket upon the Union-loving Democrats of Philadelphia. After mature consideration the State Executive Commit mittee, assembled at Harrisburg a few days ago, had formed a new electoral ticket,_ upon which were the names of men whose integrity was well known, and whose position as Democrats could not bequestioned. There were no Faaionists and no Dlstinionists upon that ticket, but they were all pledged to give their support to the only national nominees, etc hen A. Douglas and Herschel V. Johnson. Tee speaker concluded amid great applause. Daniel Dougherty, EFq ' who had been quietly sitting in the body of the hall, was invited by the chairman to a place upon the stand. lie stated that he was already " upon the stand," as a space was cleared in one of the areas, and he proceeded to, deliver a most eloquent address, as be paced • up and down the main aisle. Mr. Dougherty stated, in the ontetart, that as he wee about to leave Philadelphia for come weeks be deemed it Incumbent upon him to announce the part he intended to play in the ensuing Presiden tial campaign. He did not wish his motives to be misconstrued, and that no Disunionist might be. lieve him prone to &sett the national Democracy, he would announce, prior to his departure from the city, his uncompromising adherence to the straight electoral ticket, lately inaugurated at Harrisburg (Tremendous applause.] lie was for Stephen A. Douglas for all time—not as so individual, not as a fearless, intrepid man, whose deeds had thrown glory into the conocils of the nation, but as the exponent of certain undying principles, which be bad sworn to defend. [Three cheers.] Ile would have been pleased had the ,Douglas State Committee called a Conventton to emulate tin electoral ticket, .. but as the Committee had as Burned the responsibility of forming that ticket, he gave it • his , unswerving, enthedastio support. [Cheers for Dougherty.] He was opposed to all fasten with - faetionists. [Applause.] For himself, be had ever looked with disfavor upon a union of true with counterfeit Democrats. it was a great principle that the net. tional Democracy advesated•—the sovereignty of the people. They were not less widely different from the Breekieridge Secessionists than from the Lincoln Republicans. He (Mr Dougherty) could not advocate sny eleetoral ticket aide by side with a eupporter of Brackenridge, for the two would be urging different sentiments upon the same plat. form, to , the 'patio audience, which would be a, farce. What shall we do? Euppoee that the capital of the country was in fested by an invading army. The sone of the Re. public go forth to drive back the advancing legion! ,and secure the sacred fans from the rutblem hands of the stranger. Just sa the. vast army is mar shalled upon the field of battle, the plumed tiles dashing with bunaished arms, and each true ho. sem wrought up to an intensity of courage and a certainty of trlumpb„a motley band leave the secmlogly invbstdble ranks, and say In daunting terms " Yield to our wishes—stoop to our , terms—hearken to our demands, or we will with draw and hand you over to defeat." What would the veteran captain of the , falthfal army say what would be the indignant uttarane• of every honest soldier ? First put the traltore to death, and then charge upon the united foe'!" So, fellow.Demoorate, let us first vanquish our fee tionists, and then, if die we mot, fill battling for the principles of our platform. [lmmense cheer log—hurrah for Dougherty , j For continued lltr. Dougherty, I know where I 001 stand. As I entered the campaign, I will go on. My motto shall be that of your ban. nen, A clean viotory,„or a clean defeat." [Nine cheers J Wm. B. Sipes, Esq., of Schuylkill county, made a brief and eloquent ecttlreu, which wee raptu rously applauded, and the meeting adjourned. IMPORTANT PONFRRENOR OF VIE BOARD or Thuvra—Twa LOW TENEMENTS ON BIIDTORD AND NINDRED NTREETB TO BS P/OATZP—TERRIIILII DETAILS Or Lrea Il TUE Omadate.=-Wo have gathered the following from a late report of The Board of Health: Daring the present month the Board has visited Bedford. Baker, Spatord, Seventh, and St. Mary streets, In the Fourth, Fifth, and Seventh wards, arid a careful inspection of the wretched dwel lings of many of the degraded abuses, crowded together in that vicinity, has awakened their seri ous attention to the consideration of some more ef fectual means than have hitherto been adopted for the correction and removal of one of the greatest sanitary evils that abound throughout that and other neighborhoods. Among the worst forms of tenements visited were those underground. Dark, deep, damp, chilly, filthy, and outraged cellars, unlighted and unventilated, save by the doorways, which, dewing the night, and whenever it rained, were shut down, thus excluding the only etitranee for light and air, rendering the atmosphere still more vitiated and poisonous. Some of these cellar domiciles weriSon provided with any other floor, than the bare earth ; Some ware covered with worn-out matting. satu rated with moisture; acme with pieces of old ear eating. while others bad board floors,' in a state of decay from long-oontinued dampness. In one of these cellars, pleoes of board were arranged tokeep the feet of the occupants from the water which covered the ground. Seemly the vestige of any furniture was to be seen; in many of them not even a bed or a bundle of rags to lie o't at night ; destitute of every com fort, and tenanted by the lowest order of degraded whites and blacks, huddled together promiscuously, numbering in each apartment from four to six per manent inmates, and acme of them receiving lodgers at two and three cents per night, in a space net exceeding ten by twelve feet square, and with scarcely breathing room. Loeslitles that are as productive of moral debasement as they are en (lounging to physical depravity, and disgraceful in a civilised community. In the same category may be classed numerous elesely•packed shanties, or pens, from Ave to ten feet square, located in the rear of dilapidated buildings, eight or ten of which occupy a space hardly ample enough for an ordinary steed kitchen; without chimneys, without ventilation, without light, without furniture; destitute of ever/thing that bed oven Om appearance of accommodation. One other circumstance in concoction with these tenement nuisances must not be emitted. It is the enormous rents imposed upon the debased and des titute occupants by the avaricious landlords, who are only tenants themselves in many instances, and sub-let et prices which no doubt pay their own rental From 50 to 75 cents per week are drawn from those pauper tenants—a sem equal. at the end of the yo.r, to that which would 'furnish them a small but comfortable and airy residence in a more rural and healthy suburb. Milo It is repulsive to the better feelings of the membera of theldcard to bring to light these sanitary evils, that throw n dark shadow upon the character OUT city ors for the purity of ila atmosphere and health of i inhabitants—nevertheless, it becomes their solemn duty to ferret out these wretched bevels, with their more wretched Inmates, while they aro susceptible of being reached by the sari. Lary besem, and thus avoid conssnuenoes far more serions. that must inevitably follow their continu ance and inareane. The present condition of all each tenements as shorn ellacied to, and Moll! effeeta that accompany residence florae, call for en Immediate and ef fectual remedy. The Board of Health have deter mined- after careful deliberation, to close up those that are now in oxistance, nod to forbid, In the future, all underground tenements that aro with out light and ventilation. and otherwise unprn vided with ordinary domici'lary arrangements, to gather with such cribs, or pans, above ground. as aro herein described, believing and declaring them to be nuisances. not only detrimental to the health of their inmates, but prejudicial to public health, end fruitful sources of immorality and crime. Before taking leave of these thanes of squalid wretohedness, It may bo gratifying to allude to the fact thtt amid the sanitary evils and abuses th..t abound in this district, there waste he found thrift, Industry, and neatness in many of the domiciles of the laboring poor. The well-whitewashed the olean•aornbbod floor, the neatlyarranged but anoint end wormont furniture, and the' clean and tidy appearance of the women and children. gave an air of 'comfort and happiness to them dilapi• dated iwoltings suggestive of the idea that pover ty, filth, awl degradation ere not necessary eonoomi t In all the small streets as above visited by the Board, there was strong evidences of tho almost entire negleat of the huporvisor's gang, by the ao• cumu l a ti on of Ant in the gutters and elsewhere, calling loudly for the scraper, broom, Bast cart, and water. In pursuanoe, therefore, of the views thus briefly. and, perhaps, Imperfectly expreased, the Board of Health would not only call upon the authorities, but upon their fellow•oitisons generally. to sanc tion and approve of what they believe to be a well directed effort towards the beginning of a reform in the drrottinge of the poorer classes of our ottyr-- a work which bee been too long neglected, but one highly important to the maintenance of Its healthy oondition ; and they hereby invite the aid of his Solos the bigot, Shrove; his Allot pollee, to promote their dint* isiOlimweeing and reporting these cellar haunts of misery, degradation, and went...that are mattered through many of the %F -nets of our city. ifintertatning these sentiments, the Board have adopted the following resolution.: Rserifeed, chat all cellar tenements that are without light and ventilation *tweet through the doorway, or are without proper flooring. or ahem,e unprovided with ordinary ilomicill.ry appendasea. and all tene ments above ground, in a like condition. are hereby de clared to be nuisances, prejudicial to health; and the °warm agents, Cr occupants are required to vacate d &ore the same within five dqs wpm the date of their notice, and if not done. the health °Meer is di rected to close them, and hand over the occupants to the Guardians of the Poor, unless otherwise 1/70fla ad for.

IMPORTANT A BUST—EXCITING SCENE IN, A Can —On Saturday afternoon, as Detective OM ' oar Bartholomew was atroliing through Washing . ton Sqattre, he observed two men who appeared to be euspiolone characters. The officer followed them out of the sonars and along several streets, until they had reached a locality about half a square southwest of the Baltiinore Railroad depot. -..zoen tinned observation etonvinced the detective that these individuals were characters of a class who do not find much favor in the eye of the law. They appeared to be anxious to net at aomethiog -that was concealed in tatat nelabbethood, and Circled cautiously about like timid dub around /abetted hook. Officer Bartholomew, procured assistance, land coming soddenly upon the stleploloue °duple, found them taking upaxtme implements which had been buried there. The men were taken into enstody, and upon ex amination it was discovered that the exhumed in struments were burglars' tools, inoludin f / brace and bite, dark lanterns, and a patent ti ndle," such as is used by Maillefert inblasting rooks, and which oraoksraen employ for blowing up safes. The prisoners proved to be old Bill Knight, *sato rious oraoksman, who has just served out steno of five years in,the penitentiary for robbing a tailor atone FourtU street, near Ruse, and A. B. Star• ling, alias the " boater," alias as many other names as could be conveniently assumed a a Balti more professional, who had arrived in Ma city on. Thursday, and taken lodgings at a crib down town. The detective eonnratninted himself upon having made a most important capture. The priennees and their implements were taken Into the passenger care on Eleventh atreot, for the purpose of being carried to the Central Station. On the way, an exciting scene occurred. Sterling was observed by the quesk-eyed detective to take i some let tars out of his pocket, and attempt to de" stray them. Bartholomew darted upon him, and strove to get possession of the documents, which were evidently important. „Sterling waxed dee perate, and drew a pistol ; but the °Meer handled his billy with atomising effect, and receiving assist anon, overpowered the oraokatuan, and secured the letters. Old Bill did not attempt to interfere. The prisoners were safely conveyed to the Central bta tion, and looked up for a hearing today before Alderman Battler. Upon examining the letter it was discovered that the oracksmeu had planned the robbery of one batik fa New Jersey, and another in Vermont. A PAW months ago, Private Benjamin Sharp, of the marine corps, was ordered from this station to Norfolk,Va. Before going South, he left with:Sergeant Joseph Lary, of the same mope, his bank-book, containing a credit of 2140 in'one of the saving institutions. He wrote up from Norfolk toi the book, but could not obtain any reply, and finally Pinatired a leave of absence and came on for It. The Sergeant bad the book nicely seated up in en envelope, and handed it to theprivate ; bat the latter was smart enough to open the package, and, on examining the took, found that $lOO of the money had been drawn out. Under these isizeuto atanoes, a warrant was procured, and Alderman Moore sent the Sergeant to prison to answer the charge of larceny, made so under the new penal code THE MURDER AT DELTA. GROVE.—The late tragedy at Delta Grove, N. J., has been detailed at length in The Press. It news that Keyser, the perpetrator of the grime, wee urged to its commis sion by the violence of the mob. Ile was assailed with clubs and stones and his life threatened. His father is a most estimable man, who has been con. neoted more than fifteen years with Caspar Carry's dining-rooma, at Fifth and Chestnut streets. The father and eon bade eaoh other adieu on the morning of the murder, and the agonised parent awoke the next morning to find that his see lay in prison for the mime of murder. It is said that Keyser will not lire. Four of hie ribs are broken, and be is horribly out in the bead and neck. Be will doubtless have en Impartial trial at Mount Belly. ASSAULT ON AN OPPICEII.--While Officer Weir, of the Reserve Corps, was walking along the Old York road last evening, near Buttonwood street, hie attention was directed to a street-fight between a party of intoxicated men. He promptly arrested two of the ringleaders, but while on his way to the station house an attempt was made tO rescue the prisoners. A number of men, women, and children rushed out of Tammany gout and pounded the officer so severely that the prisoners made their mope. Several of the assailants were arrested, however, and looked up to await a. hearing. littisTlN3 OF OITtzwNS IN FAVOR OP VIE Puna EQUAIIII LOCATION —The Sunday Mercury, of yesterday, rays: " We learn that a. meeting of citizens, in Savor of the location of the publie buildings nt Penn Square,will be called, at Concert Hall, Chestnut street, in the course of the yeseut week, or early in the succeeding one The ar rangements ore in charge of a committee of gen tlemen, who intend to give the movement more. publicity than watt given the meeting at the Na tional 11011, on the - came eubject, which was more of a private cenanltation than a'publio meeting Tho ootemittee fool satisfied that a large majority of the citizens of Philadelphia approve of tae Se lection mode , by the commissioners" Bar Dnowwzo.—A boy was drowned on Saturday afternoon, while bathing is a pond at Thirteenth anti Montgentery streetn, in the Twen tieth ward.

Judo Ludlow delivered the followhig opinion on MO Me. Lion fora new trial Commonwealth Motions for a new trill and vs JAMS Miller. arrest of judgment. We will dispose of this ease by considering i n t, the questions which arise upon the motion for a new trial, and secondly, thou which are pulsated upon the motion to arrest of the jinigment. The first two reasons fliedla support of the role far a new trial, u they relate fa tne rattiest of--the court to quash the array .?f furore, may bf consid ered together. At the trial these causes were &i. signed upon the motion to quash the arnii, and as the polate there preheated embraced the lellohl subject of controversy, we shell be better able to dispose of the reasons now died by considering each of these points In detail. `We were asked to quash the array, first, because the return of jurors was not certified in auordanCe with law; second, because the return did not show the manner la which the persons on the list were summoned, and that said return was not under oath; and third, because the venire commands the sheriff to draw the jurors, and not the board tar the selection of jurors. After doe consideration our view of the law upon each of these points remains the same as that taken at the trial, end we can only affirm the opinion en tertained by the judges who tried the cease. The first reason -waa not, and has not been, sup ported by evldenee, and therefore it cannot be con sidered by the court. The second reason wasfound ed, so far as the nature of the summary was con cerned, upon a mistake, in fact, for the service had been made in a legal manner, as appeared by an examination of the record, end although the return of the sheriff was defective, not being under oath, yet he was directed to emend We return, which he accordingly did in the manner and form as by law directed. That the power existed in this court to allow this return to be amended, cannot be doo.bted. The question arose in a civil ease long sine*, in Hewer vs. Spence, 1 Wh. 211, the principle which ought to govern this easevu Settled, mad this court, in Commonwealth vs. Chancey, 2 Ashamed 91, adopt ed the rule laid down in Dewar vs- Spence, is, a • criminal cause, arid enforced it in practice in sash a manner as to settle our power in the premises. - The last reason In supeort of this motion to daub the array is, that the venire dines the sheriff to draw the jurors, and not the board fur the selection of jurors. This question arises out of the recent act of Assembly, " establishing a mode of selecting and drawing jams in and for the city of Pkiledet-. phis," adopted in 1859, the old printed form lige, used In this case, the words " and commledoners " in the form being lint strickenoet- While a new form would have been preferaWe we cannot say that the old one is illegal, or that an y in justice has been done to this prisoner. It wilt be observed by reference to the fourth action of the act of 20. h April, 1368, that the venire Is to be di rected to tre sheriff, and to the sheriff alone , the board shall draw tee jurors from the wheel " ac cording to the command of the venire or venires directed to the sheriff." This vinare was re di rected, and the law prescribes what shall be done by the board. Besides, it cannot be said that the form used is not within the spirit of the law. The sheriff is, by the act o[lBsB, a Member of the beta for selecting jurors. He is directed by the velars to draw the jurors to serve at a pertain time sad place ; but be owe only dose, by the very language of this writ, " according to law." The material question Is, has the sheriff, in feat, complied with the law :1 and that he has done - so cannot and has not been doubted. Ia practice, the sheriff: in foot, draws the name of the juror from the wheel, in the presence of the board ; and upon an Inspection of this record, it will l ie ob. served that the sheriff renumed the venire, and the board have duly certified to us the list of jurors, in ooeformity with the spirit and letter of the law. Shall we, ander these eircumstenees, say that this array of jurors ought to heve been gasified? We think not, for it would pulite the mist ter geoiousto dierover in what way the spirit of this few has been broken, as it has required the exer cise of some Ingenuity to point out an apparent in fraction of its letter. , • , The third and fourth reasons In support- of the', motion for a new hill may also be considered -to gether. ' These litlEollll seemed to be based upon a theory at war with the feats, as developed- upon the re cord and at the trial. This prisoner was not in dicted for aiiondolde committed in the pupates" lion or, or attempt to perpetrate, a robbery:' - The indictment alleges that the'decessed came to his death by a *Wel and malicious drowning - That was the substantive fie; to be established' by the - prosecution. The Commonwealth, it is true, as-'? anted that the death was the • result at a rubbery, or an attempt to - rob, but the 'whole' ease was exalt supported by oixonmstantial testimony, upon which the theory pi a rob bevy or death might` be sip potted, or the theory .whiok-arstonotect for lb* death by another wilful, deliberate, and ptemedi tated ktllicg. The manner of the - death mast, therefor/ hare been the antittet of oonsideration by the jury. There was evidence in 'the cause which might have Induced the jury to believe that In the per— petration, or attempt to perpetrate a robbery, the deceased loot bin life. Thp watch of the 'deceased 'llllll found upcn the prisoner - this tended to,thow that he had been an actor at the time of the slip. poled murder ; the body of Gueolter wax found in a creek , and the prisoner Riehl and deceased were last together at or near this creek, low 4103 night of the fatal occurrence.

The testimony Of the jeweller established the font that the Walsh had not been in the water, though it might have been surrounded by a wet pooket. - Each circumstance alone might not hem sup ported the theory of the Oesnmenwealth, hut when considered as a whole the elreetestanoes tended to gether to establish this theory, especially whim in connection with all the other bob of the ease, the conduct of the prisoner on the day after the mur der, and when he was not suspected, as ales hie re. rated oonfessions—lrst. to a friend, er sehpeent triend, and afterwards to the officer who arrested him—are taken into censideratlon. _ - As this canoe was one a npported by eireeresteatial evidence alone, the court, tick great ear* to point out not only the different grades or degree' of homi cide, bat to call the attention of the fur yto the. Grime of robbery, and its exact position in the cata logue of crime when followed by death. The points submitted by the counsel for the defame brought vividly before the jury the erect vivid= now un der discussion, and were distinctly affirmed by the court. We cannot, ander these circumstances, say that any error has been committed. The verdict rendered shows that thole:7 rutted with discrimination, for while they found this pri soner guilty of murder in the hut degree, they sou th:aid his comrade of murder in the second degree. Whether this verdiot was the remit of a belief, open the part of the jury, that the death occurred in the attempt, to perpetrate, or in the actual per petration of a robbery, or in any other way, we cannot determine. All that we know is, that the evidence might have supported! the theory of death first suggested; that it did not exclude the theory of death by any other method, and that the jury were fatly instructed upon the whole law of the case. The remaining reasons, except the eighth, which Wee abandoned upon the argument, nay be briefly considered and disposed of. The remarks of the District Attorney were maids in the argoment of the cause, and could have been understood only as in explanation of his views. The points of evidence ruled against the pri soner do not appear to be open to the objections made at the argument; in each instance the ques tionpropoended,was intended to elicit a fact, and the Not was evidence in the case, though of Wen importance. The instructions of the judge iu his charge upon the subject of character are to be taken MI a whole, and are not to be considered in detached portions; these instructions are in entire accordance with the law, sa laid down in Commonwealth vs Kilpatrick 7, Casey 216, and the concluding portion of th e charge ought to satisfy even those who, in tender mercy to degraded criminals, ask every criminal tun so to fritter away every prineiplerof law as to afford immunity for the gtoesest mimes Five reasons have been assigned in support of , the motion in arrest of judgment. It is nano:nem- ry to consider the second, third, fourth, or fifth, because it was not seriously contended, upon the argument, that this indictment is not in form pre mealy such a one as has repeatedly received the favorable consideration of the Supreme Court. The cases cited by the District Attorney, to wit : White vs. Commonwealth, 6 Blaney, 179. and Com ,' monwealtia vs. Finnegan, 7 W. and 8., 418, would I settle the question in any event, so fee al we are concerned against the prisoner; and if a different rule is to ho adopted, certainly we would not In cline to an opinion in conflict with the repeated ad judioations of the court of last resort. The first reason, then, in support of this motion is the only one which omande our consideration. . The indictment consists of three counts; in the two first counts the prisoners are charged as pal:oi -1 pals in the first and second degree, and in the last as principals in the first degree. The jury have found onset' the prisoners guilty of murder of the first, and the other of murder of the second degree ; and it is argued that this finding is inconsistent, and that no judgment can be entered upon the verdict. It is to be observed that the indietment does not charge either of these prisoners with being awes. sorbet either before or after the fast; (and although the oldest cases recognise an aocessory at the feet, yet that doctrine has been tong since exploded;) they are charged as being principals in the first end second degree in the two first counts Now, the distinction between principals in the first and second degree has been said to be re distinction without a difference, State vs. Roy & Rochelle, 2 Brevard ; State vs. Green, 4 Strobbart, 128; though a different principle may be adopted, when, by special statute, the poniehment is diffete at. Even supposing a substantial difference to ex ist between the principles in the first and second degree, yet both of the prisoners are indicted as is each count of this indiatmenCand the feat abalone bee been convicted of the highest grade of fele nines homicide, and the other of a lower grade of the same offence, does not render the verdict in consistent or insensible. We have high authority for the position which we assume. elf there were melte* in the abettor and none in the person who struck the party, it will be murder as to the abet tor, and manslaughter only as to the other." Hawk, book 11, chapter 29, section 7. This is the principle ; it has been applied in this country in practlite. The United States vs. /larding, et al., 1 War , page ITT. Judges Grier and Kane did not hesitate to declare tt at they trete d have sentenced the two prisoners convicted in that ease of man slaughter, although the other had been convicted of murder, though under the pectin= °traumata aes of that case, they allowed the two prisoners to elect between a new trial and a judgment upon the verdict. In the case of State vs. Arden,, 1 Barr 457, the very point Came up, std was decided. The prisoner had been indicted as a priteipal in both counts of the indictment, and the jury ware to judge of the malicious intent, and of the degrees ofguilt of the parties, and to apply the evidence to the different counts. In our own State the eliee of Shonse vs. Com monwealth, 5 Barr, 83, is analogous in principle to the present. It was followed by Dinkey vs. COM. monwealth, 5 Herril, 129, and we think the whets current of authority Is in favor of the view which we have taken. There can be then no difficult, in entering a general judgment upon this indict ment, or & judgment upon either count thereof. In the determination of this ease it would hero afforded us pleasure to have arrived at a different conclusion upon either or both hf the motions be fore us ; bettering, however, as we do, that in every particular this prisoner has had a fair arid impartial trial, according to law, we are cot strained to say that the rate for a new trial mutt be (filch:aged, and the motion in arrest of judg ment most be en fruled.
