J. on Sunday evening last. The deceased was sitting in tho cabin-door of a Cannl boat, with his back towards the wretch who perpetrated this shocking deed. Th instrument used was a pistol, loaded with a bull, which lodged in the brain near the forehead. The perpetrator of this deed is only about 14 years old, and succeeded in making his escape, and has not since been leen heard of. We were unable, when we left Easton, on Mon-'ay last, to learn the name of the per petrator of this foul deed. The boys were bolh engaged at boating on the Morris Canal. The remains of the deceased ware taken to ! Beaver Creek, near Newark, N. J. on Mon day lest, where he resided with his mother. Spirit Manifestations Examined. No age of tho world has recorded more excitement on any subject than has exist ed for the last few years on the so-called 'Spirit Manifestations," and it has been a wonder to the inquiring mind that some thing has not been done to refute the fool ish and absurd idea held out by the be lievers in this vain delusion. It would ceem, that as things too often go in this world, so it has been in regard to Spirit ualism "what is everybody's business is nobody's business" and thus the public hnve been waiting in vain for a substantial exposition of this subject. It will not do merely to say that it is a humbug," and not tell why or upon what grounds the as sertion is made. This will not satisfy the public mind. It has been left for the au thor of the work now before us, to expose this matter upon sound rational princi ple?, and we prophecy the downfall of Spir Itualism very speedily, when his book is once before the people. We are confident that no person who reads this volume will over ajjain be at n loss to rout the "man lfesters" on every occasion. . It would re quire too much space here to give anything like a summary of the points upon which the author dwells, but suffice it to say,that the views arc original, and given in the plainest manner possible. We predict one of the largest sales for this work of an that has been issued by any house on the American continent, from the fact that it must interest every member of society.

Petitions arc in circulation in Northampton county, and pretty freely 'signed, to attach Northampton to this Ju dicial District, H2AVY B AIH'-33l&T Tho storm, which commenced on "Wed nesday of last week, subsided into a set tled NorthcaEt rain, and continued, with occasional intermissions, till Saturday night. The rain seems to have extended to all tho region traversed by the Dela ware and Lehigh rivers.. The conse quence was an extraorinary freshet in both rivers, and probably much damage to the canals and other property along their banks though to what extent can not be ascertained till the waters subside. The water in the Delaware commenced risiug on Friday, and on Sunday had reached twenty-five feet above its usual level. The Lehigh rose about ten feet. Immense quantities of lumber floated down the Delaware, broken loose from their mooring?, and lost from their own ers. Those enlaced in the lumber busi ness have sustained losses almost beyond estimate, tome estimate the loss at $500,000. The Delaware Division of the Pennsyl vania Canal suffered severely, as did also the Belvidere Delaware Railaoad. Th towpath of the Canal, in many places, i reported to have been considerably dam aged. The Storm on the Harlem. Railrosd. One Biudoe Washed Away. About 100 feet of the Railroad 13 ri dee on the Harlem Railroad, about one mile south of Pleasantville, was carried away during Saturday night, in consequence of the swelling of the stream by the recent storm The and abutments were lirt undermiuded washed a way, causing the causing strin pieces to sink down The bridge about one mile uorth of William's Bridge wa alivihtly damaged by one of the abut ments having been undermind. ltwa.-j About JO.) men arc now at work repairing work will be completed during to-mor , i.ii- . row. The trains will run as usual, and the only detention to the trains will be the chancing of passengers and bagjjago to cars in waiting at Pleasantville. There was no other damage on this road repott ed. The Storm On the Hudson River Railroad the Cro'.on Bridge Washed Away. The recent flood has resulted in con siderable damage on the Hudson River Railroad, by washing down earth, rocks and trees upon the track. We are in formed by passengers that the train due here ou Saturday afternoon at 5 o'clock did not reach this city until 10 o'clock yesterday morning, in consequence of the track having been obstructed at variou? points by the earth, rocks and trees which had been washed down. Yesterday, in formation was received that during the night 250 feet of the pile bridge was washed away by the raise of water in the Croton River, which will prevent the pas sage of trains beyond that point for sev eral day. It is expected that the track will be cleared and in running order to Croton in time for this evening's train. It is not yet known to what extent the road has been damaged above Croton. The steamboat Croton was chartered by the Railroad Company for the purpose of convening the mails to Albany. Fears are entertained that the railroad br at lonkcr3 will be carried away by the freshet. On the New York and Erie Railroad. Intensive damage lias been clone to this road at different points from Pater aou to Stairway, a station about 6 miles weet of Delaware Station, (formerly Port JervK) At the latter place, yesterday morning, at 8 o'clock, a portion of track and embankment, about 200 feet m ex tent, and to the depth of 40 feet gave a way, and went into the Delaware River. Nine laborers employed ou tho track were carried into the river upon tho mas3 of eartu. oeven or tuem were instantly drowned, and two of them were picked up a short distance below by meu in a boat, and saved. There had been a small break there the night previously. Two miles west of Narrowsburgh there has been a break of 50 feet in length, to the depth of 10 feet. JMen arc at work repairing it. At Raniapo about 100 feet of both tracks is gone; the dam has given awa', and up to last night the water was too deep for any repairs to be made. The Ramapo Bridge is removed from its foun dation. It is reported that 500 feet of the track is gone. One mile cast of Turner's the track is carried away, and the Tucksedo Bridge has becu carried away. Between Narrowsburgh and Delaware Statiou the track is much injured. There is no harm done to the Susque hanna Division; and beyond Elmira there was but little of the storm and no injury. At Dunkirk snow fell to the depth of six inches. The Cincinnati Express train due at Jersey City at P. 31., on Saturday, ar rived on Sunday at 2 P. M. It reached Hohocus with considerable difficulty and delay, having been obliged to uhift the track at one place, where the embank ment was deemed unsafe. This train, having about 75 pacscugets on board, la on the track over night at Hohocus. Mr. W. II. Bebee, the Conductor, procured supper for the passengers, and raadcthcin comfortable as possible. Tuesday morning his train reached the Passaic Bridge, about two miles be yond Patcrson, where there was a break, over which the passengers and their bag gage were transferred to a train sent up from Paterson, and thus reached Jersey City. Mr. Hilliard, in charge of the track over the grouud where this delay occurred, exerted himself in a most cred itable and efficient manner to forward the train and relieve the passengers from their unpleasant position. There will be no train from Jersey City Ithi? morning oq the New-York and Erie Railroad; but it is expected that repairs will be made which will admit ot the start ing of the evening train for the west. The storm is described as a fearful one. Rain ran in torrents through the valleys, poured over the ledges in cascades, and flooded the fields. Immenso damage is done to farmers, and considerable to manufacturers and millers. Rafts in the Delaware were brokeu up and went tum bling and crumbling down the swolen stream. The Hew Jersey Railroad. There is no intelligence of damage to the railroads on the route from Jersey City to Philadlephia, except a slight in jury to the track in Bcrcen Cut, which was repaired with but a slight hindrance to the trains. Morris and Essex Railroad. A train on this road, which left New- ard on Saturday afternoon, was unable to proceed more that three miles before it become fast in the mud which had been washed down upon the track. It is prob able, from the nature of the ground over which this road passes, that the track is covered in numerous places with mud. In Jersev Citv. No serious damage was done in Jersey City by the rain of Saturday. A large number of basements wore flooded, and the foundations of buildings in the course of erection were slightly damaged. From the Xcw York Tribune. Kentucky Justice. The extraordinary result of the late tri al of Matt. Ward echoes and will long echo through the columns of the press. It shocks the public sense and calls forth indignant commentary in every unbiased quarter. There never was a clearer case of deliberate, premediated murder. Mat thew Ward, who has now been acquitted, went out and purchased pistols, came 'home and loaded them, aud,avowin 2'.. .. ii. .i i ll intention, proceeded to tne scuooi-nouse, I tl sent a bullet straight through the heart of i. ii.i Tf nAnr,n ;n the teacher Butler. It was done in open thn grotbcr and ft who,e gchool.house full ; of children. It is impossible to conceive of a more palpable case of premediated assassination. That the man should be tried for the offense and he was acquitted outright of killing his victim surpasses be lief. Yet so it is. The fact is sufficient to call forth the gravest censure and the most unqualified rebuke and condemnation, and it is no won der that the public voice swells loud and deep in its denunciation of this shameless verdict. What is its cause? Ward be longs to what in the slave States is pecu liarly the Ruling Class of society. He belongs to an old, rich, and fashionable family. The Class to which he belongs, forgetful of their duties to society, forget ful of the claims of the offended justice, and remembering nothing, and observing nothing but the wound which Ward's con viction would make in the petty cirelo of which he was a member, combined to se cure his acquittal at all hazards. To do this, the trial of the case was transfered to a rural community unused to distinc tion except in the humble office of defer ring to it, and here a Jury wa3 selected, and upon this Jury was concentrated the full power of some of the most distinguish ed names of the State, in order to con strain its judgment. The jury that ac quitted Matthew Ward was a simple country Jury, such as the names of Guth rie and Prentice, and Marshall and Crit tenden could awe into deferential submis sion. All these men, and others appear ing in the capacity of ministers of the gos pel, were present as witnesses or as coun sel in the case, and all upon the side of Ward. Under such a pressure he was discharged from custody and sent back upon society with not one of them all, witnesses, counsel, or jury, disbelieving his guilt, lie was acquitted through the positive and direct influence of the Ruling Class in Kentucky. Who make up that Class we have briefly discribed. It i? just such a class as does not exist and can not exist m a free State, for its basis is Slavery. It is the Master interest in a State cursed with servitude. It is com posed of the wealth and the fashion and old family names and influences existin? throughout the otate. it is the dominant forco in a commonwealth divided into Rich and Poor. It is that Priviledged division of society existing in our slave States and existing nowhere else in our confederacy. And that Class has dared thus openly to break and defy the laws ostensibly made for all, and to trample under foot the sacred name of justice. Such a proceeding will not go unaveng ed. The class which has cemnutted this wrong and inflicted this dishonor upon the Judiciary, will pay the penalty thero- for. It is an example which will not be lost upon the youth of that State where it has been perpetrated. It is apparently offering them an immunity m violence and crime, which will be taken full ad vantage of in the future This trial will bear fruit in Kentucky after all the actors who have taken partiu it shall have gone to their graves. It will not only excite one class to outrage, but a'nother to resist ance and bloodshed. Its natural conse quence is to set Lynch Law above Legis lative statutes. Such results loosen soci ety at its foundations. If justice is found dethroned by her own high priests in her own temples, the very idea of respecting or regarding her will be mocked by the many, and all institutions of society be menaced by a common ruin. But the immediate effect of so unblushing a wrong will be aa certain as its remoter results. The individuals who had been concerned in it cannot escape their direct porsonal share of the penalty it imposes. There are men prominent in this trial who have made themselves accomplices af ter the fact in the murder of Butler. Such are they who have sought by thoir testimony to screen the murderer from all punishment, and such are they who by ex traordinary proceedings as counsel have contributed to that same end. What are we to say of ihe testimony of the clergy men of the parish to which Ward belongs! of that of tho distinguished editor sum moned to the stand, of the browbeating of one attorney and the insolence of auother and above all of tho unusual ana most extraordinary course of the late Attorney General, Mr. Crittenden, in voumicering a defense of the criminal! Ihe inrerence that so pure and distinguished a man would not volunteer in defense of a guilty man, as was alleged by the friends of Ward, Mr. Crittenden may not be respon sible for; but he is responsible for the fact that he suffered that inference to go unrebuked, and by his silence gave color to its truth. In volunteering in this case Mr. Crittenden has shown a disposition to place the acquital of a notorious murder er above the demands of impartial justice, and in doiug sohas inflicted a stain upon his own character which will adhere to the end of his career. The act is too prominent and too flagrant to escape pres ent censure and lasting condemnation. Of old there was a sublime virtue which caused even parents to siszn the death A -J m warrants of their own children, in com pliance with the stern and even cxagera- ted demands of the law. The guilty met his doom, however high the station of his culprit, and however great the sacrifice. The state of society in a modern slavchold- ing community allows of the culture of no such exalted sentiment ofeqality and jus tice. Its condition partakes more of that of old feudal Europe, where the murder of a peasant was sometimes made an act ot wanton sport, and often ot irritation and passion, his hunt who 1UU 1U1U 11UIII shot a peasant on his own roof from mere amusement, and whose conduct never had to pass even the ordeal of an inquiry, may not unfitly be com pared with tho member of the Rulinc Class in one of our slave States, who in a fit of temper proceeds to shoot down the poor sohool teacher and escapes even the least punishment for his crime because of his high position and connections. buch events as this Ward trial may wen excue renews uuuwo.i iu clining character ot the civilize to the de modern Slave States Another Bearded Woman.

We had Been the same statement in several papers after Mr. Pollock's nomination considered our authority good, and thus it found its way into our columns.

Execution cf James Qiiiisu. Wilkes-Barre, April 21, 1854. Early this morning a considerable number of persons had begun to gather in the town, to witness if possible, some of the iucidcuts connected with the fate ot this unhappy youug man, who was about to pay the penalty of broken laws. The streets began to show that something un usual was about to take place. At an early hour wo contrived to get within the Jail, and saw the prisoner. He looked anything but down hearted, ana to use the expression of one who saw him to the last, "ho boro up to his fate every inch a man: lint :wo vipw it. ua teellinrs were callous, he had none of that pure repent " ' w o ance, which does, and will mart those who truly sorrow for their mispent lives. Until this morning he expressed a good deal of bitterness towards all. who had in any way to do with his present unfortu nate situation. This morning, however, he relented some, and expressed his for- civness of Sheriff Drum and his deputy tor tho part they had to pertorm. lie called several times during tee morning for ale, which was supplied to him, and our worthy Sheriff evinced a spirit of le niency towards him, and showed a dispo sition kindly to do everything the prison er would request, consistent with his duty. The prisoner particularly requested to thank his attorneys for the faithful man ner they had attended to his interest, a- vowing repeatedly, that they had worked in a iust cause During the night he slept tolerably well lie conversed at times with the watch set to guard him; but, from soon after three o clock he was lelt to commune with his own thoughts. The Rev. M- Miles of the Episcopal Church has visited him with a desire for his hearty repentance and acknowledge ment of the 4;Redcemer of Mankind," but we arc under the impression the reverend gentleman failed to awaken him to a true sense of his awful situation. He refused to acknowledge even so much as the fu ture state of retribution "Ho died as a fool dieth without a God his heart was turned to stone." His mother visited him, I believe, for the last time before death, at half-past ten o'clock this morning, accompanied by his step father and his sister. His sister paid him two other visits and appeared to be deeply affected by the awful situa tion of her unfortunate brother. He conversed freely, very freely of his situation; exhibited very little symptoms of heart-rending feeling: canvassed the appropriate length of the rope necessary to execute the business well; compared himself with Rees Evans, and thought he was much stouter and would not need a rope as lone as Evans did conversed of his funeral, and requested if it would not be too expensive to his friends, to be car ried to Danville for burial. To all ap pearances he was unusually perfectly cool; and a medical gentleman expressed his surprise at such manifest bravery, and felt of his pulse to find if any indication of excitement existed there. The outside was indeed calm, but his pulse was beat inir with tremendous rapidity. At frnn tuinntnM hff!rrn t rrnl fn rv'nlnnl.- his chains were struck off. He ato a hearty dinner a little before twelve. At twenty minutes past twelve his sis ter paid her final visit to the prisoner and staid with him until one. About half an hour before his execution he called for Mr. Miles, and seemed to have expressed somo compunction. The Sheriff asked him what time he would be ready he lightly replied, O! any tune just now if you are ready. At twenty-two minutes to two o'clock he left his cell, accompanied by Mr. Miles, and the Sheriff and his deputy, and when he come to the steps of the Scaffold he ran to the top, everybody being amaz ed at his bravery or bravado. When he got to the place of execution, he slightly bowed his head to the spectators, as a per former of some theatrical drama would to his audience. Mr. Miles read the service of the Episcopal Church. During prayer, Quinn looked around, recognized some of his friends with half a nod, nnd to some females,, who could unsex themselves, to view with hilarity such a revolting spec tacle, he nodded and a smile curled his lip; awful! such an awful moment. Can it be possible, that capital punishment cau oo anoweu longer 10 uisgracc our Statue Book, and public curiosity become so excited to witness the destroying of a fellew creature, that females will and do forget their place, their heart and feeliug to witness such a sight. Blot out such a i . i i i i. i" law and no longer degrade to the level of brutes those that should train tho young and risiug generation with a mother scare. At thirteon minutes before two, Mr. Miles shook hands with him and left the stand; when the Sheriff adjusted tho rope and then left him. Wc could not per ceive the slightest motion in his limbs he stood erect and perfectly still. The Sher iff shook hands with him and said, Quinn, 'I hope God will pardon you, and that you will forgive me." Quinn said "I do forgivo you sheriff you cannot help it." At eight minutes before two the drop fell and Quinn was suspended by his neck his body heaving violently. Just now the solemn passing bell began to toll, and the intense interest felt by the spectators served to give an awfully solemn feeling to every one. For eight minutes we could plainly see the motion of respiration in his chest then all was still. At seven minutes past two Dr. Minor pronounced him dead, and at seven and three-quarter minutes past two the body was taken down thus he was just fifteen and throe quarter minutes suspended. Ho was taken down, laid in his ooffin and his body given to his friends, who, we understand will comply with his request OITinn Inwmnrl I. I J Wo have since learned ho was buriod in this town. J. B.

A brute named Watson, a denutv keep- j x. y a- er of the Ohio Penitentiary, has excited an investigation by the Legislature by his inhuman and infamous conduct towards a prisoner whom he caused to be horribly mutilated by the lash and confined sixteen days during the the cold weather in a nOlSOmO CCll, Wlinout u uuui, auu mm nether beddinz nor a stove. Two physi cians who were on tho committee of in vestigation reported that a man of ordin ary endurance would have been killed by the treatment to which this convict was subjected.
