Before Judges Thompson and Belts.

MAY 3.-Ihe Bragansa Pirdcy-The District At
torney addressed the Court and said that the jury
had acquitted Hans knudson Of the charge for muir
DER he now proposed to call up the Indictment of the
piracy OF the Braganza and the robbery of the pas
sengers. In pursuing this course, he intended to
separate the case OF Knudson from the two no had
his trial separately.
Mr.: Staples said he was not ready to 10 to trial,
and the learned gentleman persisted he should in
terpose the plea of autre foifs acqut and ask the
Court to say If the jury had not passed on the very
question which the learned counsel proposed to
try again.
assume that because the jury acquitted Knudson Of
the murcer they had also passed on the other ques.
tions
After some desultory conversation among the coun-
sci on both Sides his Honor decided that II would be
impossible for him, in justice to his othe duties to re-
main in town much longer, and in order to
give Counsel an opportunity to put all their pleas
the record and give them reasonable time to pre-
pare for trial. he should order it to be set down for
Wednesday, the 18th instant, and attend himself
that oceasi on to preside at the trial.
His Honor added that he thought it would be
necessary to issue yenre out of the city and county
in order TO get jury who bad not read the state
ments that had appeared in the newspapers in rela-
tion to these transactions.
Mr.. Cutting said that although much had been
written and reported thereon, there was difficulty
in getting jury, even though this was such read
ing commodity. Yesterday the Court was not de-
tanned more than hour and half in getting jury.
Judge Thompson said he thought il would be bet
ter to get jury that had read nothing the sub
ject; and that il the Court the back part of
Rockland or Putnam counties, they might get men
who did not read newspapers.
Judge Belts then informed the BAR that as several
motions had been postponed on which counsel asked
to have the benefit of full bench if those learned
gentlemen were present. they had better take the pre-
sent opportunity.
Mr.. Hall said he wished to get the Courts con-
struction Of the act of Congress relation impri
sonment for debt.
The Court said they would take the matter into
consideration, and give an early opinion
The civil calendar was then proceeded with, but
ready for trial. In the Of Samuel
L. Gouverneur, the defendant addressed the Court,
and said he had been ready for the past two years.
The District Attorney said he ready also; bat
it could not have been anticipated by him that the
calendar would have been through, several Of the
witnesses were not in Court. He himself was somc-
what exhausted with the work Of the week, and he
thought that il would be for the benefit of all parties
if the set down for Monday next To this
the defendants counsel assestcd, and the Court adj
joarned to that time, with the understanding that
| it was to have precedence of all other business.

Az OPPosITIos LISH.-On Thursday evening the
Rev DIR. skinner Of the Presbyterirn Church IN
Mercer street, nearly opposite the Church Of the
Messiah, preached sermon on "Dagon appearing
along side OF the Ark Of the Covenant" having re-
ference to the opposition line set up BY Mr.. Dewey.
Mr.. wilder, the great cotton operator, and Mr. b r.
Butler Of the Custom House, arc the main pillars OF
this church. Dr. skinner considers the Untarians
as no Christian at all-that they ara the best
coxnterfcits now passing.
This is precisely the old leaven Of the sixteenth
and seventeenth century, species OF barbaric re-
isior which was good enough for that age Of the
world-bu, not at all suitable TO the intelligence Of the
present age DIR. Skinner belongs to the New School
Presbyterians, who quarrel with the Old School Or
the merits Of tweede-dum and tweedle-dee. The
Presbyterian population are some the most intclli
gent classes Of the agebut how thfy happen TO give
up their ideas reason, and ALL 10 set Of old block
heads who ought to be IN petticosts, is problem.

ne The meat monopoly still continues; the high
prices are still kept up; the butchers, and drover
and forestaers all act in concert, and laugh at the
public. Many Of our citizens have given up house
keeping in consequence Of the high price Of meat.
MANY are gone into the country The butchers care
nothing for this; they laugh and grow fat, and go
into the country also. The only remedy TO- to throw
the trade open. Let any one, and every one, who
chooses set up stall in any part Of the city and sell
meat: and then Il will be cheap, and not till then.

promulgated that the State Of New York ought to

and throwing away the scabbard.
Now on this question what is to be done! Verify,
we sure but il is the best policy to rsn into
debt as much possibic-to construct all sorts of
rail roads and canals-to adopt every scheme that
every set Of men may project Many Of these works
will be worthless and proftless-but what OF that
nothing will ever teach economy, but the pinching
results of getting debt. In the general scramble
some will make fortunes, while others will be ruined

On this ground il is possible that the locoocos will
be defeated next autumn-and that the wings may hs
