successful engagement at the Gsisty tonight. The
different roles she has sustained have shown her an
artistic Of great power and versatility. We do not
know when We have seen upon the boards Of the
Gaiety lady with whose representations we were SO
well pleased, and who seemed os fully to meet The
expectations OF the public We not blind to the
fact that Miss Jones has faults, but, as contempt
rary said Of Booth they faults that arise rather
from the difficulty Of executing ercOncePiORs than
from inability to conceive correctly, and such faults
she viii either euterOw without criticism, never.
She is really great artistic. and being young, she
has her future in her own hands, and whatever Of
imperfestion and shOFt.cOming there may be in her
impersOnatOus win readily suggest themselves to
her, which it Wil Of course, be her aim to obviate
We are sure our thealre-gOers win regret that the
engagement of one SO accomplished and generally
excellent could not have been prolonged another

TIE SHAW Casa Nav TRIAL GRANTED-Judee
Mcclure, in the Court Of Quarter Sessions, Sat
urday morning, read long and able opinion in the
case Of George shaw, convicted Of kidnapping.
The case was argued some weeks since, and after
thorough ard careful examination the Court has de
oded that the trial was Illegal nasmuch as juror
was Withdrawn after the FIRST day, by reason Of sick
ness, and the continued with only eleven. The
opinion consisted chiefly of authorities cited, bear
ing on the point, and the principal points made
we're substantially the those Of the Cancemi
case IN New York, who was granted q new trial
under SINH ar circumstances. The second trisl viii
proba5ly take place during the term which CONS
meness on Monday next. This result seems to give
general satisfaction to the public 1t is generally
believed that Shaw was guilty Of no crime against
the laws of Pennsylvania, and indeed, the verdict
Of the Jury was directly In the teeth of the charge
of the Court. L is scarcely probable Shaw be
convicted second time.-Pitg6HTy Post, Dee 20.
We made notice of the trial of Shaw after his
conviction, and the reader viii remember that the
Offenss Of which be was found guilty was that Of
Kidnapping, though the proof and charge Of the
Judge did not Warreut the jury in finding such a
verdict. A very white negro belonging TO Mr.
Mr. George o RagIand, Of Tuscumbia, Ala, had run
away from his master and settled in Pittsburg as a
white man, under the name of George W. Ferris,
where be married Shaw also settled in Pittsburg
and having known Ferris in Memphis, Tenn, as
'sWash, " the slave of Mr.. Ragland, informed the
latter where his negro was to be found Wash alias
Ferris, having gone to Missouri in search Of work,
Shaw followed him and had him arrested at Bruins.
Wieh, No, snd returned to his master, for which
he received the reward of $500 offered by Ragland
for the return of his slave. Shaw returned oPits-
burg and was there indicted upon charge of kid
mapping and convicted stated. 1t is to be hoped
more honest jury will be found at his next trial
