From the Commereial Adyertiser

Death of Mr. Emmei 1t is with feelings of
the deepest regret that We record the death Of
Thomas Adds Emme., Esq who has SO long
stood in the front rank of eminent American
Jurists, and whose gigantic legal attanments
and powerful eloqufnce have thrown such Ius-
tire over the bar of New-York There was
something very solemn and deeply affecting,
in the suddenness and manner OF his death -
He may be said 10 have dedson the field Of his
victories and well earned renown. He was
closely confined in Cour' during the trial of The
Aston cause, in which, on Monday last, ne sum-
med up in behalf OF the Plaintiff, IN = ma s,erly
and elaborate address. The trial of the Sal
lors' Snug Harbour cases ensued, in which he
was also engaged. We learn that for two
nights he had scarcely taken any repose; and
there is no doubt that such intense and unre-
mitred mental occupation produced the shock
which has terminated his valuable life. He
was sitting in Court yesterday, in the fore
noon, in apparent health, and was convcrsing
only few moments before the event. He
was observed to lean forward with his head
resting on his hand, or on the table, and when
spoken to-, was found 10 be entirely insenslNe
When this was ascerained, the court immedI'
atcly adjourned. Messengers wert despatched
for the members Of his family and physicians,
who speedily arrived. Bleeding was resorted
10, but without producing any apparent effect
A litter was prepared for his removal, on
which ne was carried to his house in Hudson
Square. The Court of Chance:y, which was
sitting =, the same time, was also Immediately
adjourned The melancholy event produced
profound and solemn sensation on the crowd
who assembled round the Court room, in which
his friends and the medical gentlemen called in
were employing their ineffi ctua efforts Oh his
behalf We believe that Mr.. Emmel remains
ed in state of inst visibility from the moment
of the attack until he expired last night at a
few minutes after eleven
There are few of our citizens who have not
Witnessed, at some time, the displays OF argn-
mentativc and impassioned oratory which
flowed from the lips Of this great lawyer. His
vipour seemed 70 reniair unimpaired 10 the
last,a ne has died in the fuilness Of his fame,
and at the height Of his profession. We will
not do INJUSTICE o mis- memory, by feeble at
tempt to charaC terise the style OF his elo-
ouence This SIX will no doubt be perform
by some Of his able compeers, on whom twill
regularly devolve.
! On The opening Of the Court, this morning,
Mr. ID. b Ogden very feelingy announced the
| melancholy event, and the Court Immediately
adjourned The members Of the Bar, who
were present, including his honor the Chan
cel;or were then called to order, and the Ven-
cradle Judge Benson being preset, was APP
pointed Chairman, and the hanceilor, also
present, wa, appointed Sccrttary-
7, was on milton resolved, that a, general
meeting Of the profr sion b. held on Friday
morning al 10 o'clock, IN The Supreme Court
Room, for the purpost of stifying their e'-

PIETRO FACINT.

This eminent artist, who became so by
chance. was a historical painter. He
was born at Bologna in 1860, and di, d
in 1902. 1t was an uncommon incidc {
which brought him acquainted with Az
nibal Caracci, an made him become h s
disciple, and at engtiihs friend. As Fa-
cini passed by the house of ANIMAL, he
had the curiosity to GO into the academy
of that famous master, to look on his dis
ciples, drawing and designing and while
he was attentively engaged in observing
their works, he seemed so wrapped up in
meditation, that one of the scholars, out
of drollery, drew the likeness of Facini
with black chalk, and in strong charac-
ter of caricature. The drawing was inn
mcdiately handed about among the disci-
piles, to the universal mirth of the society,
and the modification Of him who was
made the subject for ridicue. But when
the caricature was shewn TO F'acni, and
he saw the real cause of such extraordi-
nary buffoonery, he took up a piece of
charcoal, and although he had never
learned to draw, he sketchcd the Ike
ness of the person who had turned him
into ridicule, so strongly, and in so Iudi-
crous manner, that the subject for laugh
ter was entirely changed; and Annibal
struck with admiration to see such an un-
common effort of genius, generously Offer
ed to be his instructor in the art. He
soon made wonderful progress under so
ingenious preceptor, and in shor time
surpassed all the other disciples, so as to
become the objec, of their envy, as be
before had been the object of their con-
tempt.
