From the Newark Daily Mercury'I
A trial has been in progress in this city
for the last few days, which has excited
greater interest than any which has occurred
for years. Theparties are all strangers, and
yet the tale uufOlded by the evidence was Of
the seddest character, and full Of those
bitter realities which exhibit life in Its
shadow and gloom According to this sad
episode one Of those worthless aud shiftless
men who live on the edges Of society, and
who form one of the foatng and changing
elements Of our large cities, crossed, upon
an unfortunate summer day, the path of a
young girl in tue city Of New York, Of
most respectable parentage, and wiled her
from her parents and her home, Scarcely
seventeen, favored by more than ordinary
beauty, the choice flower Of family circle,
she went out one afternoon, to return, after
days of absence, ruined Outcast, with the
mark of infamy upon her. Her seducer
and destroyer brought her to this city, and
perpetrated an outrage which stamped him
as cool, deliberate villain, whom punish
ment should follow as surely as the avengng
fates. IA
We do not care to enter upon any details
of the case, but it is sufficient to say that
they were Of character to render the con-
viction of the person charged matter of
public congratulation. The verdict of the
jury last evening was received in every
quarter as just and righteous one. Every
parent feels to-day that the courts have
thrown new guard around the family
hearth, and that the innocent and thought
less have been thus protected from evil.
The heartless wretches who throng our cities,
looking upon the young and beautiful as
their prey, have been taught lesson which
they will long remember. And many a
giddy and thoughtless girl might learn, from
the touching story of this ruined outcast, a
lesson which would leave its moral in her
heart. Life has its pages Of individual his
tory more sadly written than any which
romance portrays; and they who truly read
them may draw from them the wisdom
which will guide their steps Alright. In the
deep shadow in which the young girls life
is cast, there may come no sunh sht, but her
history will not be without its warning.

beautiful steamer bearing the above name wal
to have left Cincinnati for this place on the Isl

shows that Captain P. has spared no expense in
fitting up craft for the Ya1oo trade which fol
comfort and convenience cannot be surpassed:

AEorHER CHESS CHAMPION NEEDED The Lor

ANOTHER CHESS CHAMPION NEEDED. The Lon
don Field thus confesses to national humiliation
We can not but deplore the humiliating position
into which English chess players have been plung-
ed by the proceedings of their champion, Mr..
Staunton, towards bis American rival, Mr.. Nor
ply. This gentleman cross ID the Atlantic, in the
most chivalruus manner, with the determination
of Trying fall with the European masters of
the game, and Immediately on his landing threw
down his glove to Mr.. Staunton in particular, TO
whom he allowed his own terms, and, in the
meantime was ready to play all corners. Nothing
could be more straightforward than Mr. Morphy )
conduct throughout the long period Of time in
which he has been kept in suspense, and during
which he has displayed an amount of patience
and good temper only to be equalled by himself
when engaged over the board. On the other
hand, we are driven to the mplation of the
shifts to which Mr. Staunton has been induced to
resort the condemnation of which is shared by
nearly all fhe leading players Of Paris and Lon
don. For him the excuse may possibly be made
that he could not afford to risk his po iton as the
acknowledged head Of English chess: but no
apology can atone for the attitude which he has
assumed towards Mr.. Morphy from the moment
he found there was certainty of being compel
ed to come to definite conclusion; and so fai
from his manmuvring being successful they hav,
had quite an opposite effect.
A new champion must be sought for but we
can hardly expect to meet with player Of Mr.
Morphy's strength in our hour Of need, and w
are afraiI that Europe, as well as England, mus
bow the neck to America, and acknowledge them.
