The jury came into court on Monday morning
with verdict of acquittal. There was deem
and intense excitement in the court, and great
crowd was present. The announce ment of the
result was received with a round of applause
the verdict being in accordance with public feel
ing, II not with law and testimony A different
verdict was expected by many, aud the happy
surprl sc created great Joy among friends of
the girl.
The Newark Mercury of yesterday morning,
says:
The general conviction was, that the verdict
would be against the prisoner, and stiffness per,
vaded the audience as the jury were ushered to
Their seatS, They looked worn and fatgued,
having been cut sixty-two hours
The prisoner was in her scat, and eyi 'ently
deeply affected with her situation Her stified
sobs were plainly perceptible, and her trembling
frame denoted that she too had suffered power
fully from the uncertainty of her fate"
The Newark Daily Advertiser of Yesterday
afternoon, has the following further particulars
The prisoner has been placed, and is for the
present under the care of Mr. Beach, the jailer,
though of course at liberty to leave whenever
she chooses.
The reports that were circulated MS to the
standing of the jury--to the effect that ma
Joritywere for her conviction-had no foundation
III lrutl, ana we are assured That, from the FIRST
there was clear majority for acquitta, though
during the first four hours of their retirement
no vote was taken, and scarcely word said,
owing to the deep responsibility which each
Juryman felt to be resting upon him.
The jury were supplied with food, by per-
mission of the court but upon their return,
their countenances revealed the effects of their
confinement and anxiety.
The court appointed commission, Consisting
OF SIX physicians, to examine her case to decide
whether she would be sent to the asylum or SIT
at liberty. The commission il. composed If
Drs. Darcy, Smith, Dougherty, Clark, Wood
ruff and Pennington. They paid her visit
this morning, and at the opening of the court
this afternoon reported as follows:
Essex Co jan, NEWARK N. j., Oct. 10.
We, the undersigned, having been appointed
by the court of oyer and terminer to inquire in
to the present condition of the mind of Margaret
Clarity, respectfully report that having made
careful investigation we find, at present existing
no evidence of unsound mind.

The Washington Union extols Mr.. CoBB, Of
Georgia, for his foresight in refusing to sign the
Southern Address, and in opposing the Nash
vile Convention. The case of the Southern
Democracy is hard. The Southern Address
was approved by the former editor of the Union,
who denounced the Southern Wings for not
signing it. The Nashville Convention was &C.
tuay attended by the present senior editor of The
Union Yet, now are the Southern Democrats
virtually condemned for following the counsel
and example of their organs-or rather for not
lodging or boiling from the course with equal
dexterity. And Mr.. COBB is extoled AS the
man who undertakes to eulogize Mr. CoBB must
have genius and taste of peculiar quality, we
cannot do justice without quoting a passage
from the effort. Thus:
Under the influence of this conviction, he
opposed the Southern address which emanated
from Mr.. Calhoun, and out of which may be
said to have come the Nashville Convention;
and he went to work to put in motion the patro-
tic agency which produced the compromise, and
which has been finally crowned by the express
sion which came up with so much unanimity
from the people in favor of that healing measure"
Let us see how this sentence would read
backwards An oppression came mp in favor OF
a healing measure, and cr0wned the patriotic
agency which Mr.. Cons ,oent 10 ,oorh 10 PIT in
motion!
We are not surprised that the confusion Of
fancy that mixes so many homogeneous metaphors
in one sentence, should form Union with the
judgment that approves the compromise and the
taste that admires Mr.. CONF. If to the display
of these faculties thus made, we add the reason
which deduces that the election of Mr. COBB
against vote aboIt four-iifths Democratic, is
Democratic demonstration in favor of the com
promise, we think the Union is quite grea
phenomenon in PHYSIOLOGY, as the compro
mise it supports, is in politics.

KossUTH CoMISG.-The N York Tribune. of
Saturday, las the following information on this
subject
"The great topic for some days past has been
the arrival of Kossuth, but there is some reason
to suppose that the general expectation with re-
gard to the nearness of that event may be doom
ed to disappointment. We have seen a letter
from Constantiuople, which states that the in
tention was that the Mississippi should stop first
at Portsmouth, in order to afford Kossuth an 3D.
portunlty to meet his near friends in England
This seems also to be confirmed by the unusual
anticipation entertained there that he would
soon arrive, and the preparations made to well
come him. The letter further states that Kos
suth would leave Portsmouth fnr London. wbencs
he would soon proceed to New York. After
arriving here, his plan is said TO be first to visit
Washington and express his thanks to the adj
minlstration for It's intervention and aid in pro
curing his release; and next he will visit the cap
itals and chief cities of the diffe ent States.
"Ne learn from the same source, that during

ranpement of the cabins and stats-roo for the
reception of the illustrous passengers had been

Fugitive Slave Law.
The National Era says:

As to putting down violent resistance to the
fugitive law, our candid opinion is, that it cannot
be done. In self.governing State, public
opinion is the life of law. good law, unsus
tanned by II must fall; bad law in opposition
to IT will be baffled. Force, repeatedly used in
it's execution, will but strengthen the feeling
against it. make it more and more hated, and
give rise to frequently recurring scenes of dis
order. A law which cannot be enforced with.
out violence, Is the legitimate parent of anarchy
and rebellion"
