The Board Of Education last evening swallowed
The rev Free Academy scheme after toleraby
virtuous amount of WY faces. Of the fourteen
Professors six are degraded from the faculty, and
four ofthe remaining eight become their Immediate
masters. Profs. Korner and Duggan will teach
their drawing hereafter under the direction of DR..
Docharty, the Professor of Natheuati Prof.
Dorenus must teach natural history anatomy, ply
sioloey and hygiene at the bidding of Dr. Gibbs the
very excellent chemist. Prof. Morales is to teach
Spanish and Prof. Glsubersklee German acc ,rding
10 Prof. Roemer's system of teaching French; and
Prof Benedict viii continue to give instruction in
civil engineering, if bis two managers, DrS.
DocAarty and Prof Nichols, can agree how
he shall DO 1t. Drs. Webster and Owen
and Profs. Barton ard Anthem will be
obliged TO content themselves with direct dOmi-
neerirg over mere Tut 90 and adjunct Professors.
They, however, receive the consolation of $3.50 to
$3.50 increase Of salary. TIE governing clique
he eight Heads'-by this very co nfortable ar.
rapgsment, pocket $50 600 per yesr-S3. $50 more
,han before-at the same tune that they put their
heels firmly upon the Decks Of the opposition. Sc
aSiec, 10 the condition Of these six Professors that
her have not even the pitiful privilege of com
planning to the Executive Committee on the Free
Academy directly; all communications must be for.
wareed through the Faculty. They ought to have
union aud harmony there now.

1t would appear if the law was correctly laid
down in the late trial of Donney, the bOokkeeper
at the Neyersink Highlands, for the murder of
Moses, that in the State of New Jersey the mem.
bers Of the respectable religious sect Of Univer-
salists are placed much on the same level, so far
as the right of testifyDg is concerned, with ne
groes in the Slave States-in fact, in worse po'
siton. There is no State that we know OF in
which ne gro testimony is not received, at least as
seain.t negroes but in the State OF New'Jersey'
if the charge of Judge vredenburgh is correctly re-
ported Uniyersalsts' testimony cannot be received
against anybody, not even the dying declarations
of Universast as against the man who murdered
bin. The counsel for Donnellyi is reported to have
asked the Judge TO charge "that if the Jury are SAT-
Gifted that Moses had 10 belief in God and In
culture state Of rewards and punishments, they
"must disregard bis dying declarations" 10 this
request the Judge is represented as replying that
".ucb was the law, but that the Jury must be salts
"fed by the evidence that such is the fact. The
"law will presume that be hsd such BELIEF until
1.-the contrary is proved"
II such is the law in New jersey or any other
State, the sooner the Legislature take the matter
in hard and alter it the better. The Universahsts
are one Of the recognized religious sects OF the
country. They can show cereymen as eloquent
ard learned and members as pious and moral as
those of any other denomination, and We cannot
conceive of any good reason why they should be
outawed and refused any redress BY the Courts in
eases in which their testimony 10 needed to make
the proof complete Yet ii is well Known 10 be
tter distinguishing tenet that punishment, instead
Of being reserved for the future, comes here
doctriLe to which the experience OF COED many
men at this moment affords at least rtain degree
Of plausibility.
The evidence of the defective religious belief Of
Moses upon which the couLsel for DoDneDy relied,
was the alleged fact that when upon bis deato-bed,
being spoken to on the subject Of future state lie
smiled-which smile the counsel argued was in
der;,icn and was, therefore evidence Of deprAved
heart, ,ufcient to justify the rejection Of bis test
mopy. This attack upon Moses cid not, however
prevent the Jury from returning verdict oil guilty
sesirst Donnely, and certainly it would have been
reat disgrace to the Law if conviction lad oeeo
prevented on any such grounds.
The credibility Of witness il always far sub'
ject of Investigation; but as we have TOO frequent
proof that no profession Of faith IS any security
aRair II fasehoed ard perfdy, 90 it is equally cor
,s;s that the avcwed rejection a all religious belief
!. not inconsistent with fair share Of crediblty

Our legal doctors baviDg cognizance of offenses
against the Liquor Law, radically differ in their
construction of the act. One month since, Judge
Russell decided that indictments might be found by
the Grand Jury without previous exa niuation be-
fore magistrate Yesterday Recorder Smith of
the same Court, charged the Jury that they could
not bring indictments unless the accused had been
properly srraigned, examined and committed by
Justice. He further stated that in case they did
find under the ruling Of Judge Russell, he should
deem it his duty to quAsh the indictments.

The question now agitating the mercantile com.
munity concerns the proper course to be pursued
by the banks. Among other measures Of relief it is
proposed that the notes of the well secured State
banks be taken at par by the city banks-a plan
which meets with general appreciation, and appears
to be open to few objections. At a meeting OF
prominent merch ants yesterday, committee was
appointed to confer with the bank managers with a
view to obtaining large increase-the sum sug-
eested was $40 600 O0Q-of discounts; and tho
general feeling appears to b. that the adoption of
such project would be for the advantage OF all
parties that it would relieve the money market and
diminish the number of failures without iDjuring the
banks Themselves. Relief is, in many quarters,
pronounced to be out of the question until this
course is adopted. Yesterday was indeed, a
gloomy day for merchants. Stocks sold very low,
and money was difficult to obtain at the highest
rates. Among the failures of the day we notice
the names of Messrs. Mellis & AyIes Blake g.
Brown, and Buckley & Co., dry goods, and Mark
J. King furs. Nessrs. E. F. Whittemore & Co.,
highly respectable bankers in Toronto have also sus
pended The only lew bank dscredited yesterday
was the Addison Bank of this State. The Lima
Bank, which resumed for day or two, has again
suspended. The Cumberland Coal and Iron Com
pany having assigned, the II neral Bank at Cum
berland has followed suit
But, as glance at our telegrsphic columns will
show, fewer mercantile disasters arc reported TO-
day than has been the case for some time. In Bos'
ton, stocks are more active and command better
prices and the "solid men" are doing business
after the old fashion. In Cincinnati, better feel
ing prevails, and the crisis is believed to have
reached its elimination. Favorable advices from
the East are alone wanting to bring mat.
ters into a proper shape again. In Phila-
delpha and Baltimore the depression con-
tinues Little improvement will be manifested I'M
til the Pennsylvan Legislature shall have taken
some decided steps or adjourned. From Washing
ton the report is that within the last three days but
$780, worth of stocks have been sent in for re.
demptor, against 81, OOO 600 since the publication
of the Treasury notice of the Gath of September
and 1850, 900 in one day. This fact shows de-
cded renewal of confidence.
