B.—The trial of James Whalen was resumed to-day. Constables Jordan and Pengard stated how their at ' tention was first directed to Lacroix. They brought him to town and he pointed out the spot where he'saw a man shoot, and de scribed the particulars of the tragedy. La . croix is an ignorant Frenchman, and showed that ho was extremely unwilling and afraid to come forward in the matter, , but that his first statement of circumstan ces connected with the murder closely agreed with his evidence given yesterday. Witnesses testified to Whalen's mysteri ous and suspie ous movements in the Par liament house on the night of the murder. Mr. J. J. McGee testified to 'Whalen's visits to his brother's house on the morning of the .22d of January under an assumed name: ldr.l3uckley, a messenger in the House, gave evidence tending to shield Whalen. He said he suspected another man whom he had seen lurking around the House. It is believed that Buckley will bo arrested himself. Other witnesses wore examined, all of whose testiinrrny, although circumstantial, point stro-gly to Whalen as the perpetrator of the crime. The court adjourned at.six o'clock to meet again to-morrow. The Crown o,Ounsel appears to feel wholly satisfied that evidence wilt be produced to convict.Whalen,while the, counsel for the defense ;expect , to break it doWn, and they, are equally confident that Whalen will be!. acqulUed. •There are said IA be seven Orangemen on the jury. Mr. °Riley defends his challenging of Roman Catholic jurors, on the ground, as he alleges, of, a well known sympathy, on the part of the many: -Roman Catholics in this neighborhood with Whalen. The re fusal of Chief .Justice Richards to al ow a peremptory challenge of jurors .it is thought, by many lawyers hero, fur nish ample grounds for a new trial in the event of its being found necessary to do so by a - verdict against the prisoner.

[Before Judge Sterrett.] Court met at ten o'clock, Wednesday, and proceeded to business in order. Thos. B. -Hamilton, Esq., presented for approval the report of board of viewers of a road in Elizabeth township. Approved. David Beck, John H. neelure, James 1). Kelly and Alfred Askin, summoned as traverse jurors, were excused for cause. The grand jury appeared and returned a number of bills. A surety case, partially heard on Tues day, was resumed, and among the wit nesses called was ;Michael Sweeney. who refused to be sworn until his. fees were paid, stating he had been obliged to leave his work and-to pay a man two dollars for taking his place. The Court inquired whether ho had demanded pay as a witness at the time he was served With the stth -p(ena. Answering in the negative, the Court directed him to -be sworn. He Firmed rather ani unwilling witness, an swering questions indirectly. In the course of his examination (Judge Sterrett having taken, him in hand) it appeared that he keepa a licensed tavern in the Sixth ward, occupYing five rooms for such purpose— one, as a bar, the remainder consisting of kitchen, dining room, a single other apartment the family, and another for the use of lodgers. He was asked what representation he had made„ to the Board of License, the Court thinking it fm probable that he could have obtained license for a house with such limited ac commodations. Sweeny said that the house contained seven rooms. but that two had been reserved and were occupied by a lady owning the premises. In the affida vit accomptinving his application for license (the papers having been sent for) _he represented that the house contained seven rooms, with the necessary number of beds and other requirements under the law. It was'plain that the Board of License had been imposed on, Sweeney's statement to the Court of the arrangments of his house differing materially from his affidavit, and that had he represented truthfully in all probability a license would . have been re fused him. The Court said that although the matter had been irn - gularly brought up, it was one of which the District Attor ney should take due notice. Prosecu tions for perjury was the only proper way to prevent such imposition upon the License Board. Sweeny was directed to "remain in Court," but finally was allowed to depart.
