The Echo prisoners OH trial Mt Charleston have
had i swift lcfyerarce. The District Attorney
produced us witnesses on tl,e trial. Captain Maf-
lat, who commanded the Dolphin ut the time Of
the capture, Lieut.. cnrrentcr, and thu surgeon
aud coxswuin nf the Dophin. i model Of the
Echo, showing her complete outfit as SLAYER,
was also produced and exhibited to the Jury
Tie ownership Of the Echo was shown to be IN
Townsl,rad, the captain, who was also proved
where he had married. This fact Of citizenship
was proved By Il witness who had visited him
while in jul u. Boston, for the the purpose Of
identifying him. Captain afat1at testified That
he kept Tuwustlcad IN board the Dolphin be-
cause his intelligence and reckless air had led
hint to ftar tlIat he might pr0ve troublesome if
lrf, OH board the Echo. The slarcs. he said,
were several Places there where they could be
comfortably lodged, and especially on account
Of the facility Of te!egraphic communication
thence to Washington. On Chart found on
board, was traced continuous line, showing
the vessels course from the coast Of Africa to
the point Of her capture. Hencry, one Of the
prisoners, told Lieutenant Carpenter that they
were {nrty-tlrce or forty-four days out, aud that
lie had made signals for landing ihe negroes on
the afternoon Of the capture. lie claimed one
of them rs Ills own property.
No testimony was ofleral on behalf Of The
prisoners, Win were GcIcHucA ~ !ouf Ia"FcFS,
and whom tho telegraph represents as having
been acquitted by the jury. They were in
Iictcd, we suppose. under the fourth and fifth
sections Of tic uct If lsa0. which provides that
any person being Of the slips company Of any
vessel owned wholly ar in part by any citizen of

We are not yet informed Of the grounds on
which tho defense was placed, whether tue coun-
sci confined themselves merely to denying that
sufficient case had been made out rs against
the prisoners, OF whether they were allowed to
argne to the Jury that the law OIL which the in

Death of the Marquis of Waterford.
TIL. following particulars Of the sudden death
Of the Marquis Of Waterford arc given by the
Kilkenny Moderator:
This melancholy event. which must be
esteemed nstional calamity, took place while
his lordship was hunting will bis own hounds
The meet was at Castle Morris, county of Kill
kenny. More than one hunt had taken place,
when, at topbclly. midway between Castle Nor
ris and CarricE-on-Suir, on leaping small
fence. half hank. half.wall. not much more than
two het high, the Marquis horse missed his
hind legs on the bank, and dropped his fore
legs into small cut on thc other side, which
threw the animal on its knees and nose. so that
his lordship was thrown off on his face, his
hunting cap haviug~n dingc in the top. hut
there being no cut or bruise on the head. On
being lined up he was placed in sitting posi-
tion. but was entirely unconscious. and never
afterwards spoke. He lived about ten minutes,
and the onlr sign Of life was that he drew up
one leg and sighed. Immediately after this,
however, Dr.. O'Ryan. Of Carrick, Who had been
engaged in the hunt. was in attendance, and
pronounced that life was e1tinguished, and
death had been produced by conclusion Of the
brain. The marquis having left no issue, the
title and estates descend to the Hon. and Rev.
John Deresford.
