THE BuRDELL MYsTERY.-At latest accounts the
investigation Of this case in New York was still drag
ging its slow length along. From the proceedings of
the l1th take the following which seems of more
Importance than anything previously elected:
Mr. Farrell testified that on the night of the murder
he was passing Dr. Bnrdells house, at halt-past TO-
and saw a man pass i'll. Immediately afterwards he
heard cry Of " murder and a fall. He stopped to
listen, when man in his shirt sleeves opened DR..
Burdell's front door and ordered him away.
Mr.. Farrell was subsequently taken into another
out Ecke as the man. The latter appeared dumb
founded, but uttered not word.
The following account is given by the Tribune of
the recognition of Eckel: Mr. Eckel was placed in
the bedchamber of DR.. Burdell, and had the choice
of any position he pleased to take among the jury,
reporters and others who present. He was asked
to appear in his shirt sleeves the persons standing
around him appearing in like manner. This he re-
fused do The others then put on their coats. Mr..
Farrell was then brought into the room, aud. after
looking around four or five times pausing each time
more particularly at Eckel he at last confronted him,
looked at him closely aud then turning to the Coro
ner, said that very like the man-he was certain
he was the man. .. 49,.
So far then Eckel has been identified as being in
the house and awake at the time the shrek OF mur
der was heard outside. This testimony is given by
working man who appears to be honest and unsophis
tcated His story was straightforward and connect
ed, vet told with caution. He would according tt
his own statement, have volunteered at an earlier
stage in the examination but for the which ha
been pursued by the Coroner and the fear of being
kept away from his family.

opened and the heart extracted which is to be en-
balmed and enclosed in thick yellum bag, strongly
impregnated with asphatum the remainder OF ms
bodyis then to be publicly burnt on pyre OF sassatras
or sandal wood in one OF the public cemeteries-the

balmed heart in bronze Five copies OF the lead
ing daily city papers, containing an account OF the
whole proceedings are likewise directed to be deposi-
ted in the urn which is then to be hermetcaly sealed
and taken to the New York Museum.

ceedpgs the work is to be published. Forts circua-

Gov. BRIGHAM AGAIN.-One of President Pierce's
officials, writer from Utah, giving an account of
matters and things there tells the following in relation
to the individual whom the President of the United
States persists in retaining Governor of an mpor
tant territory of the Union -
An eloquent man is Brigham Young, though his
oratory is rather novel and belongs to himself alone.
Common sense and cant, scriptura alusions and row.
dyism are curously blended in his style, but in a
direct. vigorous and manly manner which reminds us
exceedingly of Cobbets prose in his savage moments.
An amusing instance of this combination comes WV
idly before memory. man named Gideon had
the boldness to question Young's prerogatiye rs
Prophet of the Lord The Governor denounced him
somewhat in the following style, and it is fair speci'
meh of his ordinary orations:
"Who is this Gideon who has come among You Z?
He used to sell tape in St Louis and now he is here
to baspheme the Lord and destroy House Of Israel
And what should ye, children of the covenant do in
return for his evil work? Out with the bowe-knives
ye wore like bleastpins at Nauvoo and in the name
Of God and the Prophet, give him h--ll."
