from the pesiiferous poison of Fanny Wright and

many respects, to see the Protean shapes which

notorious. Where will it all end
Close OF THE DRURY TRAL-DlsAaREEMENr
! AND DISMISSAL OF THE JURY.-The trial of Drury,
for carrying or sending torpedo to blow up Mr..
Warner, has come to a close without any exact
result. The jury, after being out over twelve
hours, came back yesterday morning into court,
their foreman saying there was no possibility of
their ever agreeing whereupen the Judge imme-
diately dismissed them. II is unde rstood that the
vote In the jury stood light for acquttal and four
for convection, without any prospect of a change
in any of the parties. Under this state of facts,
the jury were veryproperly dismissed by the Judge.
The trial of Drury has ended in nothing but it
is the CONNIE ncement or opening of the first seal
to the extraordinary stool pigeon mysteries OF the
| New York Tombs for the last two or three years,
as usually reported in the stool pigeon journal, the
Police Ga.stte.
The result Of this trial has not astonished the
community We expected such a consummatlon,
and so did The public That expectation was first
by the miserable and elaborate effort which has
been making, through the columns OF certain
gazette, for some time past to drum the public
into conviction before trial, by the exhibition of
all the stale stool pigeon practices which were in
vented IN the days Of the famous Bill Wiley, AID
then came to an untimely end by his early death.
The evidence furnished against Drury proceeds
from such sources and seems to be manufactured
e. dan ~ In, tbo ,,n1
Of every unprejudlced man as to the truth of the
charges or, If they probably are true, yet, as to
the Justice of convctng man upon such disre-
putable species Of testimony. the evidence on
that trial has done more damage to other parties
than TO Drury HIS cause was also very badly
managed by his counsel, while the talent engaged
on the side Of the prosecution was vigorous and
forcible. The Judges charge was the weakest Of
the weak.
But we believe this matter is not yet finished.
This tnal Is only the opening of the first seal to
the great book Of stool pigeon mystery connected
with the Tcmbs of New York, Of which the Police
Go-ctfe is the organ. The Drups. Arlingron
Bennett, Ashley. Bristol Bill, One. Eyed Thorn son,
George Wilkes, Marcus Tullius Cicero Stanley,
and many Other parties, are all interviewer IN the
same mysterious Web which will be all unravelled,
orc Of these days, TO public satisfaction. What is
more singular su, in all this bus ness, is the sus-
ucIcn that the robberes Of the District Attorneys
tflicss, both ia tns city and in Jamaica, Long
leland, and the consequent disappearance OF GER
tara indictments and other papers, are all part and
patc,l of the same story. No doubt there ~ cri-
| Ininality enough somewhere but the real crlml-
rail-, the fomentors, the planners Of circumstances
and devsess of guilt. have yet escaped the terri
bic clutches Of the law, or is punishment.
END oF TIE Aston Place TErNs.-By repor;

The Attor Place trials, growing out of the massacre
on the tenth Of May last, have terminated. Long,
who was convicted OF attempting to Sc, Gre to the
building, While ccnsn,d. after his capture, has
been sentenced to two years ia the State prison.
Captain Ryuders, IL VIII be fccoected. was &C.
cuitisd Of the charfc made against him for con-
spring TO get M the not bat having pleaded
guilty the act of Shaping the face of Faler, the
Naval Stor,keey,r at Brooklyn, for his impertl-
ncnce, he was punished TO the amount OF tea dol
le's-ihe oiieuce and the punishment probably be-
lancng each ether.
Thus are decided at last, al those cases grow ng
GU, Of ihai unfortunate affair. One thing, how
ever, strikes us with aftcnishment in the manage
ment of the prosecution against Captain Rynders.
We are informed from various quarters, that the
delay In hrs trial gave occasion for many curious
Efforts TO be made the wsy OF fishing for stool-
pigeon evidence against him, in the bar rooms in
Park Row. which II is said he and his friends
usually frequent. A Justice Of this city, and seve-
raj police officers, whose names we have not learn
ed are reported to have been quite busy ia such
busincss-thai Of fishing for evidence ON which TO
convict Captain Rynders. IL such allegations are
true, we really hope tina, some at,emp, will be
made to bring the matter before the pubic, or be.
fore some court Of justice, IN the proper way.
During the last ito or three years, stoo-pigeon
pracuces In various curious affairs, have been con
duc,ed with great deal Of success, up to the re-
cent trial Of Dury and the batch Of mysteries con-
nected with him. II the same principle and prac-
tice have been applied to the case Of Rynders, to
procure his conviction, IN order to Justify the
Mayor and his foolish advisers, they ought to have
employed more competent persons to perform tina,
service than they did
