after the deah of Col. Burr several documents were
founJ in his posse-sion feinting to thin rotate, by
which, plaintiff seem likely to rcslise n Immense
um of money, Among the papers was one from
Mt. Townsrnd, in which he agreed to re-convey
the property in Broome street to Mrs. Eden, in the
vent of her being successful in the Court of Er
rors also proof that Co'. B. received an annuity
of f 400 per annum Muring h: life, which, it in con
tended, waa in consideration of hit suppressing
the documents, and agreeing to the fraudulent
transfer. The Church paid J 1 0,000 in essh to
Mr. Robinson, and gave bond and mortgage for the
remainder, the money on which, we understand ,
he haa realised. The Society holda warrantee
deed from him, which they can recover, if he is a
Mo to meet it, ao fur at the land in concerned. The
Church itself, of course, it involved aim) in the te

Acquittal of Mercer.
We learn from the papers that the Jury in the
case of Singleton Mercer,-under trial for the mur
der of Heberton, the seducrr of his itrr, return
ed a verdict of not guilty. We copy from the In
quiter's report of the trial the following notice of
the closing scene :
Woomiriit, N. J. Apri' 6. 6 P. M.
The jury has just egr.ed upon a verdict after
being out about twenty minutes. The Court Room
is crowded in eve y part. The excitement an I
confusion is ao great that the Judge has deemed it
necessary to caution those present against any out
break of popular feeling, let the verdict be what it
may. Gov. Yroom and Mr. Carpenter have also
addressed the crowd to the same effect and order ia
restored.
Clerk Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed
upon a verdict !
Jurors. We have.
Clerk. Who shall deliver your verdict !
Jurors. The foreman,
' Clerk How say you, Mr. Foreman, is Single,
ton Mercer guilty, in manner and form as laid in
indictment, or not guilty.
Foreman. NOT GUILTY.
Here there waa an outbreak of applause.
Mr. Bivwne I am aaham 'd of you, gentleman.
Have you no more respect for the Court !
Judge Elmer Constables, bring any one be
fore the Court whom you shall find concerned in
this outrage. Such a thing has never before hap
ened in New Jersey.
Mr. Jfffers here moved that Singleton Mercer
be discharged from rustody, and he was dischar.
ged accordingly, and li ft the Court House for the
dwilling of the Sheriff. The crowd followed, and
as he entered the apartments of that officer, gave
'ThRKE Cm ESS FOR SlNHlETOSJ MERCER !"
The elder Mr. Mercer, Mrs. Mercer, Singleton
Mercer, and Miss Sarah Mercer, remained in
Woodbury during the night, but were to return to
their home in 8oulhrark on Friday morning.
Shocking Fire .100 I.Ives Lost.
Engti-h p iper bring us the following account of
the burning of a Theatre al St. Petersburg, and an
aAful destruction of human life :
The fire broke out behind the scenes, and the di
rector of the theatre ordered the curtain at the back
of the atage to be drawn up, that every one might
be aware of the eminence of the danger. The
smoke and flame poured out toward the body of the
house. Laughter w.is suddenly turned in'o pallid
fear, and shrieks of horror burst from the Ikiioiiis
of thousand, who but now had been convulsed
with mirth. Grasping what was dearest to them,
all rushed toward- the outlet.
These were too few for the magnitude of (he the
atre, and it was very slowly that the foremost made
way for those behind the . So much the more ra
pidly did the flimri communicate to the resinous
fir planks, and quickly advancing from scene to
scene, they souu penetrated into the body of the
theatre, s ill awarnvng with people. As ill luck
would have it, one of the. Urge folding doors at (ho
entrance, which opened inwaid, had in the confu
sion been accidentally pushed to, and resisted all
efforts to open it. Thus only half of the main en
trance, was available for escape in this critical mo
ment, and the retreat of the audience was, of course,
proportionally delayed.
The police would not at first suffer private indi
viduals to tender assistance, that they might keep
the conduct of the lus'ness to themselvej. A
trsdesmsn nevertheless, contrived, with a spade,
to break down a board on one side of the theatre,
and to drag sixty half soff cated persons out of this
harlequin's bell through the aperture, with immi
nent peril of his own life. The Emperor Nicholas
rewarded the worthy mm with an order, and, at he
was poor, with a pension of 2,000 rubles.
Meanwhile, the people in the street, at may be
supposed, became aware that the matter was no
joke. The featful tidings soon spread through the
city that Lehman's Theatre was on fire, and that
thousands of persons in it were likely to peri h,
I' il impossible o conceive the consternation and
despair that seized all Petersburg. There was not
f unity one of more of whose members might not
be among the wretched sufferers. When the Em
peror, on the first news of the fire, hastened Torn
Winter Palace to the spot, women ron up to him
and erleJ, "Save, Me, save ! My son is am -ng
theml and my husband is there ! My brother is
wot out yet!" Children replied the Empeior 1
will save all I can."
A gent'eman who witnessed the operation of
clearing away the bodies, told ma that he could uot
touch food for three day, so frightful were the ima
ges that had inceasarilly haunteJ him afterwards,
nJ a lady, ho had looked in from a distance, was
so shocked that she became delirious, and raved Tor
several days both sleeping and waking.
The number of the victims waa subsequently
tated officially to be 300 but person told ma
that be counted with his own eyes 60 carts, each
of which contained from 10 lo 15 bodies. People
who protend lo know from good authority, repre
sented the number as so Urge that I dare not re
peat it, lest other might think tho amount too itn-p'ub'able.
