THE WINGS OF NEW JERSEY.

The Wings of New Jersey assembled at Tren-
ton on Thursday in their State Convention which
was addressed in eloquent and thrilling language,
by Messrs. Halsted and Randolph, of United
States House of Representatives, and by Messrs.
Miller and Dayton, of the Senate.
Resolutions Were adopted recommending Hem
President OF The URitsf :s.ateshn Y4l:. "ar'v for
At least 5000 persons were present. From
the spirit manifested there is no reason to doub,
mat the vote OF the State is Cor the States
man Of the West.
No nomination was made for the Vice Presi-
dency, although large majority of the Conven-
ton expressed the preference OF New Jersey for
John Davis. The question was deferred for the
present.
The unanimous determination Of the Conven-
ton for Henry Clay was most decidedly indica-
ted by the rejection of the last resolution of the
Committee. recognising National Convention
~ ms was lost by acclanna,ion. The Wings of
New Jersey maintain that National Convention
for the Presidency is unnecessary

Decision in Banhruptoy.-Judge STonY (says
the Boston Pos) lately delivered decision as 10
fiducary debts under the bankrupt law, in the u
nited States Circuit Court that city, as follows
First, that the existence of fiduciary debts, con-
,racted before the passage Of the act, would not
deprive the petitioner Of right to discharge in
bankruptcy from all his other debts. Secondly,
that the claims of those having legal demands a.
gainst The administrator would still remain good
against him, notwithstanding his discharge in
bankruptcy. Thirdly, that if these creditors came
in with other creditors for share in the assets Of
the bankrupt, they would be stopped from furth-
er proceeding against him after his discharge !;
and, fourthiy, that fducary debts, contracted sub
sequently to the day of the passage Of the bank
rupt law, would entirely prevent the discharge Of
the bankrupt"

BRUTAL ExilrBrrIoN-MURpER.

We learn from the New York papers that ON
Tuesday another boxing match for $500 took
place on spot between Yonkers and Hastings,
Wes,chester county, between two rufiians OF
New York, named Christopher Lilly and I ho-
mas Mccoy. Six steamboats, carried the comba-
tants and spectators from the city.
The fight lasted nearly three hours, and con-
sisted Of l20 rounds. Towards the latter par, OF
the fight, there were continued cries from the
spectators to the seconds Of Mccoy, to take hin,
away. Time being called on the l2O,h round,
Mccoy was not able to come up, and Lilly was
declared the victor.
The report Of the Herald says:
''ln an instapt, we heard the cry OF "stand
back, give the man air." and on rushing to the
centre of the ring discovered Mccoy lying upon
the ground in the last struggles Of death. lie
breathed loudly for several aspirations, and then
ceased. His pulse continued to grow weaker and
weaker, and in fifteen minutes he had ceased to
exist. The excitement upon the ground was in
tense during his dying moments, and many was
the ono we heard exclaim "ihis is the last fight |
will ever GO to see."
A physician, or some one who said he was,
was Oh the ground, but he administered no relief
to the dying man. His vet clothes were strip
ped of, and his feet and limbs rubbed, but il W as
OF no avail, as the great cXertion had overcome
his powers never to be restored. He did not
speak after being raised from the ground on the
last round, but sunk into swoon perfectly life
less.
His body was placed on the top Of one of the
liquor stands used on tho ground, and conveyed
70 the shore on the shoulders Of several Of his
60, from whence il was placed on nonru ,'o
Of his mother in Roosevelt Street i'm this ci,v las,
evening. II wascrrrenliy reported on the ground
lhat his mother had told him if he did moi come
home The Winner the fight she did not wish to
see him come home alive. Her wish has there
tore been realized. One Of his brothers was on
the ground during the fight, and did not desire
Inn to leave the ring unless he had won the bat
tie.
We understand that number of arrests of the
parties concerned took place last evening by the
coroner, and that an investigation will take place
before him to-day.
The greatest excitement existed in all parts of
the city last evening, and The Mayor and Police
were on the alert to arrest the principals, seconds,
hackers, Stockholders, &c.

The Institution far The Education of the Deaf
and The Dumb, and the Blind, at Slaunton-The
pupils at this Institution continue TO advance in
their studies, and have made surprising achieve
ments in the manufacture Of different articles
Not long since, we spoke of the excellent brush
es, which were brought here for sale from the In
stl'ution, where they were manufactured by the
blind. These brushes attracted much attention.
and occasioned great surprise at the Capitol last
winter, where they were exhibited. They were
not only strong and serviceable, but handsomely
made.
Yesterday we saw specimens Of printing,
book-blnding, cabinet work, and shoes, the handl-
work of the deaf and dumb pupils. All of them
will bear the closest scrutiny, and exhibit state
of skill in the different branches which will as
tonish any one. They may be seen at the Book
store of Messrs. ]. w. Randolph & Co.
The Institution employed man to teach the
blind to make brushes, bought materials, and in
nine months PAID all expenses and had upwards
of 5000 in hand, the proceeds Of their profits
from this branch of manufacture. Messrs. Gret-
ter IL Peake have the brushes for sale.
The Institution. we are happy to learn, goes on
swimmingly, giving interesting beings, whose
minds were blank before, the capacity to commune
in thought, feeling. sentiment, with their fellow
men, and thus carrying Joy and happiness to ma
ny families. 1t is noble charity of our State,
and reflects great honor upon its founders.
