Hal-Oast one o'clock We have just
returned from the Naval Court MARTIAL
Commander McKonzie's defence, which
was read by Mr.. Griffin, having occupied
nearly two hours in the delivery. The
Chapel was full, large number of ladies'
being present. OF the defence Itself, we
do not propose to say ought to day, far
Their than, that Il was a mos, triumphant
vindic cation of Commander Mckenzie.
The whole facts Of the case were re.
acapituIated with clearness and great a.
zblty, and the summing up ofthe evidence
against Cromwell was exceedingly power
iul. Tho confessions Of Spencer and
Small were dweIt upon strongly and the
striking fact that though Spencer and
CromwelI met at the gangway as they
were led to tho halter, not word passed
between them, although previously Spen-
Ger had protested that Cromwell was in
nocent, was cited as proof conclusive Of
the latter's guilt
After the reading of the defence was
finished, tho Court was cleared to deliber.
shto the reception, and we lcn the Chapel.

The New YORK papers STATE lhat III Tue
u. s. Circuit Court, on Monday, Judge
Belts decided that that Court had no jurIs.
dicton in the Somers case.
From the Nep York Journal Of Commerce.
THE soMERs CASE.
The u. S. Court no Jurisdiction in ii.
u. S. CIRcUIr CoURr. Before Judge
BETrs. Court decided this morning
on the application made to it by the Grand
Jury, to know whether they had jurisdic-
ton in the case of the alleged homicide
committed on board the brig Somcrs.
Judge Belts read long and elaborate
opinion on the case, aud concluded by
saying that the enquiries Of the Court
were broad and general enquiries, gong
far beyond any facts existing as far as
the Court was aware Of, in complaints
which had beer laid before the Grand
Jury.
They had enquired of the Court can
,hoy take cognizance fany offence com-
United on board ships Of war on the high
seas, or # the Court can take jurisdiction
over offences committed by others than
those in the naval service, and if So is il
the province Of the Grand Jury to inquire
into the alleged offence committed by
Commander Mckenzie on board the So
mers, which enquiries included the case
of the seamen on board that ship, and
whether il was their duty to enquire into
the mutiny or attempted muliny on board
that vessel.
10 reply to your enquiry, ls;a,e--"The
Grand Jury has jurisdiction TO indlct per-
sons not belonging to the Navy, for often
ces committed on the high seas on board
ships Of war, aud also think they have
power to indict persons belonging to the
Navy for Gelones committed on board
ships Of war on the nigh seas, where such
ielonies are not within the jurisdiction OF
a Court Martial"
The Grand Jury has no authority TO in.
quire into the homicide charged to have
been committed on board the brig Somers,
4 nor into the offence of mutny or nrutln-
Gus conduct by any of the crew of that
vessel.

THE WAGONER.

God bless you, honest WAGNER
But, sir, your coat and vest
Were out of date month ago
Your hat is not the best
You are not whiskered nor periamed-
You have no glove or fun
Iou arc no dandy-but YOU are
Another thing--a man.
And YOU are awkward WAGNER;
Your feet are not turned out
You sit, and stand, and walk upright,
Aud will not lounge about;
How YOU would tread a pailoE floor,
Upon a morning call !"
Your motions, like your notions, are
By far too natural.
You are not polished WAGNER,
For you will smile or frown,
just as you love or loathe a man,
And kiss or knock him down;
Yen have not learned to smlle-in hate,
TO compliment and-chcat
Your soul comes forth in speech and look
To every M you meet.
But when the crowd Of souls shall stand
Dsrobed Of mortal clay
When, from each Jewel mind the dross
OF earth shall fall away
When sin shall grow moro dark and dull,
And only Virtue shine
What gem among earth's vanished ones,
Shall be more bright than thine
