Close OF tho Charlestown Trial-verdicl
OF Guilty Against John Brown.

The trial of John Brown came to O close
yesterday. The Jury retired, and after short
absence presented verdict of guilty on all the
counts of the indictment That is, he has been
declared guilty Of murder, Of treason against
the Commonwealth of Virginia, and of melting
the slaves to insurrection. Each Of these Of
fences is punishable with death. A motion
was entered for a stay of execution, and then,
before the argument was commenced on the
motion, the Court adjourned.
The argument will be disposed Of to-day,
and in oil probability sentence Of death will be
pronounced.
In Virginia the law provides for delay
Of thirty days between the passing Of sentence
and the execution; but that provision does not
apply to the case Of q person convicted of in
citing to, or taking part in, servile insur-
rection. The sentence will therefore probably
direct the execution to take place within forty
| eight hours.
Our Washington despatch, however, intimates
that Governor Wise entertaias the idea Of re-
sp'ting Brown, and Of directing that he shall be
conveyed to Richmond and imprisoned in the
penitentiary until such time as the Governor
shall direct the execution to take place. He
wishes to show, probably, that Virginia is not
alarmed, and that it is not absolutely neces.a.
~ that execution should Immediately follow
condemnation. If there was any prospect Of
overcoming the obstinacy Of Brown, 80 far as
to get from him full disclosures of the conspira-
cy and such information as would lead 10 the
conviction Of the leading men who encouraged
and urged on the movement, the intention at
tributed to Wise would be most laudable one
AT all events, it will not injure Virginia If her
executive shall, in the case Of Old Brown, tenn
per justice With mercy.

MORE EVIDENCE ABOUT THE HARPER's FERRY
Observation-Disclosures LETTER FROM FoaBEs.-
We publish to-day another letter from Col.
Forbes, detailing many interesting particulars
about the Harper's Ferry conspiracy, the
facts whereof implicate very seriously Horace
Greeley, Senator Sumner and others, in the
transaction. It appears that Col. Forbes, ON
the day previous to starting for Kansas, dined
with Greeley and Mr.. Hyatt, the Secretary of the
Aid Society, which raised some hundred
thousand dollars Or 50 for the "Kansas work."
and which has gone, no one knows whittier.
Greeley also accompanied him part Of the way
to the cars-bid him an afrccGonate goodbye
conjured him to write him everything that
transpired in Kansas, particularly the lighting
part, expressing his determination at the same
time TO be there in person when the fighting
began. Was Greeley on the spot, according
to promise, when the ruflians on both sides
were pummelling each others And did he In
tend to be at Harper's Ferry too, when tho
"Kansas work. was renewed there?
1t is too bad that Greeley should now pre-
end not to know his friend Forbes, and to call
him beggarman, after dining off the same ma
hogany, taking such an affectionate farewell
when he was going to Kansas, and promising to
stand shoulder to shoulder with him in tha
front Of battle. Seriously, the more develope-
ments that are made about this vile rebollioH
at Harper's Ferry, the more deep becomes the
completely Of the anti-slavery leaders with thu
odious transaction The letters Of Col. Forbeq
which we have published, and the evidence \
will probably give in the trials at Charlcssow
place all that class Of individuals In VI

The PICTURES AND THE PARsONs.--We see
that Pages Venus has been transferred to the
gallery Of the National Academy of Design, in
Tenth street, with the view, we presume, of Civ
ing lbs beauties the advantage of better light.
1t was pretended, by connoisseurs in these mat
ters, that it was badly placed and badly lighted
in the Dusseldorf Gallery, its exccllencies being
in measure yelled. We were Of opinion that
it should never have been exhibited at all; but,
having once found its way into the collection,
we thought that some thicker veil than that Of
the clair-o5scare might have been employed to
protect unsuspecting visiters from its contact,
Those thatseek out such things could have graft
fed their prurient curiosity all the same but the
covering Of the picture with curtains, as in the
Italian collections, would at least have served
to distinguish the wilfully prying from those
who visited the gallery for the sake Of its other
features.
Some idea Of the mischief effected by this
painting may be formed from the numerous i'd
vertisements which daily appear in the newspa-
pers of the exhibition OF similar nude works.
There arc Venuses OF every form and size, from
the Hottentot to the Medici type, to be seen
either gratuitously or at q small charge in diff
fcrent parts of the city. The lovers of la belle
nature and Of art can alike crafty their tastes
amidst the immense variety Of the species now
offered to their inspection. We may deplore,
but we cannot ignore the fact Thanks to the
correct moral judgment Of the directors Of our
public galleries, we have arrived at that ad-
vanced stage Of connoisseurship which, as in
the doomed cities OF Pompeii and Herculaneum,
will be content with no other subjects than
those which minister to the most depraved and
sensual appetites.
We understand that in the four weeks during
which Pages Venus was exhibited at the Dus-
seldorf Gallery, about $4,000 were taken at the
doors. This will give an aggregate Of 10000
visiters, thrce-fourths Of whom were undoubt-
eddy attracted by the reputation Of this picture.
Exhibited in the Tenth Street Gallery, in asso-
citation with works Of the highest order Of merit,
Il will probably draw still larger number.
Hereis fruitful source Of temptation and mis-
Chief allowed to take ita course uninterrupted

THE BRlTYsH LEGATION IN MExICO.-The CIR
cumstances under which Mr.. Otway, the late
British Minister at Mexico, has quilted his Iega-
ton, are not more humiliating than merited.
That he should himself have provoked the ex-
preston Of opinion on the part Of the British
residents which sends him home doubly dis
graced man, proves that he is greater fool
than we had taken him for. We can understand,
from his connections and associations, how his
weakness of character has betrayed him int
the grave mistakes that he has committed during
his official residence in Mexico, but we cannok
comprehend the faulty and self conccit which
have blinded him to the sense entertained by
his own countrymen of his conduct To ask
from them an endorsement of his acts was 9
fitting climax TO the abssrdity and inconsis-
tency of his official proceedings, and he now
goes home without the shadow of a chance Of
being able to explain away or palliate tho
charges brought against him.
Leaving this foolish and morally insensible
man to tho punishment which awaits him in Eng
land we cordially re-echo the congratulations
which the succession of Mr.. Mathew as Charge
dAffairs has unanimously drawn from the
English and American residents In Mexico. The
latter gentleman has been very long and fa-
vorably known to us, by his official talents his
honorable character, his friendly feelings TO-
wards this country, and his desire to draw
closer the ties which should unite together all
the children of tho Anglo-Saxon race. AS
Consul at Philadelphia, and then as Governor Il
the Bahamas, he has given proof of the judg-
ment, tact and decision which are SO much
needed in the post to which he has succeeded.
We are satisfied that 80 far as his sense Of duty
to his own government will permit, Mr.. Mathew
will be found ever ready to afford assistance
and cooperation to American interests in

THE CHATTER ELEcrIOh.-Thls election win
come OF next month, and the parties and FAC
lions oontending for the mastery are az nusas-
rous as those who are about to do battle f,r
the spolls OF the State treasury There are
democrats OF various hues, wings, black repub-
iicans, Americans and Others, all distressed
with solicitude about the welfare Of the citr.
and each ready to guard It's treasury againa
the thieves and robbers of the rival factions.
The reason why there are 80 many factions
and candidates contcnding for the monopoly
of tho city legislature and for the chief marls-
tracy is, that there are nine or ten millions 4
year Of spoils on hand, with prospect OF two
or three more. The black republicans arc
watching with keen eye the divisions in the
democratic camp, in order TO profit thereby.
The Tammany party, Il seems, have thrown
overheard Fowler for the present and adopted
Kennedy, far worse man. who is entirely unRt
for tho Office Of Mayor. Theme is much doubt
and uncertainty as to what will be ultimately
done or achieved either by Tammany Hall or
Its rivals. There is only one thing very clear,
and that is that Fernando Wood is in the field.
and will fight to the last, SO that all parties
ought to make their calculations accordingly.
That he will run may be sct down as fixed
fact Let, therefore, the bost nags be brought
on the track against him. In this election, a.
well as In that Of the State, the people ought to
select the best men from among the several
candidates, and elect them in spite of the cor
rupt party leaders. The same course ough. 10
be pursued in reference to tho judiciary.
AS to the result of the city election, il is in q
thick fog, through which we cannot see our
way. We do not know, and we hardly care, who
are to have the control of the public purse. X
really makes but little difference whiok
party succeeds The parties and factions arc
nearly all alike; and we do not expect the con-
dition of our municipal affairs to grow better
till il is ten times worse than II Is. Thon, and
not till then, will tho citizens of this great me-
tropolis be fully aroused TO sense of their
danger and their duty, and the urgent neces-
sity of vindicating the important rights and
privileges which the constitution has placed II
their hands, but which are now held in abey-
ance by the apathy and inactivity Of the peo-
