CRIMINAL COURT.

Yesterday, the Court was occupied nearly all
day in the trial of Adam Belzarlus, indicted fol
manslaughter, in causing the death Of his wife
After the examination OF about thirty witnesses,
who generally testified to her habits Of intern
perance, Doctors Bohrer and Tyler testified that
they examined the body Of the deceased, and
that although there were many marks OF vio-
lence about her head, neck, and other parts Of
the body, they saw nothing that would Justify
them in the conclusion, that the deceased came
to her death from the said bruises and marks OF
vioence-there were several Commissions on the
neck and head and the face was much diff'used
and turgid. The prosecution made great effort
to prove that deceased came to her death by
strangulation by the hands of the prisoner, or by
rope; but the physicians testified that they
would not be justified in drawing such an infer
ence, as such Commissions and appearances might
be produced from other causes. DR.. Tyler's
opinion was, that her death was caused by con-
gestion Of the brain, brought on by hard drink
ing and continued intemperanre. There were
several very learned and eloquent arguments on
both sides during the trial, growing out Of the
admissibility Of certain points of evidence which
arose in the case. Charles S. Wallach, Esq,
the prisoners counsel, conducted the defence
with great zeal and ability. The case was given
to the jury about half past o'clock, when, after
about five minutes absence, they returned YER
dict Of not guilty
James Mitchell, free negro, was tried for steal
ing gold watch, pocket handkerchief, and one
sovereign, the property Of Joseph Boulanger
The jury retired, and had not agreed upon YER
dict when we left the court room at shutdown.
James, Hoban, Esq, defended the prisoner
The Grand Jury having finished their business
was discharged from any further attendance this
term. In the course Of the day they visited the
Jail, and made the following report:
GRAND JURY Room, Nov. 8, 1843.
The Grand Jury for the county of Washing
ton report: That in the execution of the duty
assigned them as the Inquest of the County,
they have visited the Jail Of the said county, and
examined with some care its different cells and
apartments, the accommodation Of the prisoners,
their treatment, &C., and are pleased to state,
that they have found the whole unexceptionable,
and entirely creditable to the marshal and keep
ers Of the Jail. PETER FORCE,

Reply to Tie Gbore.
The SIMPLE difference between Mr., Clay and
Mr.. Van Burcn is this-that Mr.. Clay Is a
champion of the principle of discrimination, IN
the imposition of Duties, IL favor OF the Industry
of the Country, and approves Of the present Ia
riff; while Mr.. Van Buren, ayows himself "or
POSED 10 the present Tariff, both in its principles
and lis Details" Perhaps this is no difference
at all, but it seems to US very vital one. We
ayvery little stress On abstract propositions, which
may mean less or more; 1t is the Pract1cal mat
ter that We look at. Only sustain the present
Tariff in all its essential features, correcting any
errors of oversight or ovcrreaching like the COM
mon swindc of importing manufactured silk as
: Silk in the Gum, and you may call It's Protcc-
ton as Incidental as you please. 1t IS right and
working right, and Mr. Clay is for periectlng and
sustaining it, as we are; while Mr.. Van Buren, is
pledged to compass its overthrow and the estao
lisbmcnt of substitute based entirely different
That is all the difference.
Mr.. Buchanan VIC consider a Tariff man.
BY the way, the Evening Post tres to show
that Mr.. Clay has abandoned his old ground. We
nope the Post means this, and that 1t will find
Mr.. Clay's views perfectly satisfactory. Liking
