Among the letters received by the counsel on

one was received this 4. h. BY Mr. Brady,
from lady signing herself iu Greek characters
+'Olyuapia AiEen,' and describing herself as
''onc Of the order Of frailty, one Of the simple

Before proceeding to business. the Judge said
there was letter on his desk directed to unc Of
the jurors. The letter is directed to Mr.. Viii
son. in care Of the Judge It bore the New
York posfmark. Assent was given OIL both
sides, and the letter was handed over to Mr.
Wilson, After few minutes, the letter was re-
turned to the Judge. lie said the &lctter is
handed back by the juror. He knows nothing
about it or the writer. 1t proceeds from the
very worst motives. II is an impcrtinent, im-
proper and unwonted interference with Il Court
Of Justice.
Nr, Brady-1 take it for granscd ii is, if it re-
1utes III any way 10 this triul.
Jndge-lt does relate to it, and relates to ii
exclusively. Let the counsel look at it.
The letter WAS handed down and examined BIZ
counsel. Mr.. Brady remarked rhut the man,l-
script was siuailar TO that Of the anonymous let
ter to Mr. Sick!cs. Both letters were examined
togethcr, And the counsel ngrced as to the sini
larity Of the handwriting III bntll letters, 1t is
matter Of extreme regret tint the author of
the letter is not known. The letter WAS kept
secret among the counsel till it was understood,
AMONG other things, to convey scandalous
cu>atiuns against some Of the counsel
After somc time was spent in examining the
letter, the Judge sud he believed the best course
would bc to PIT it i'll the custody Of the district
Attorney, but were it not for certain injurious
remarks against gentlemen whose names are
not before the public. lie would have directed it
to be filed.
Mir. carlisie- It is agreed on all hands that it
Is an ntrocinns interference with the course Of
Justice, Ii It's author were known lie wnuld de-
serve 10 be prosecuted for m act as high us
nisdcmeun0r; but us it is written from dis
tance, and there is no probability Of its author
being known, it is not worth mentioning.
The Judge only had in view the punishment
Of the authur.
Mr. Carlisle-as addressed to your IIonor's
care, I think your Honor had better keep il
yourself.
The judge have no desire to be the keeper
Of ii. The remarks u,ade about its rrcserva-
tiou were solely with tho view tn find out its
author, and punish him with ull the rigor that
could be applied to the case.
Mir. Brady-There is but one thing stated in
it in relution to which have any personal
knowledge. aud that is an atrocious falschood.
If that is fair criterion Of the whole letter, it
shows how much its statements ure WORTH
JudGe-As there is no probability of finding
the author, perhaps the best way is to des-
troy it.
Mr., Ratcliifc-1our Honor might prcscrEc it
for some days. and perhaps the authur ,nay be
found out. l think that may bc advantageous
We have some handwriting in our possession
which seems to resemble this.
Tie letter was handed back to the Judge, but
il was then shown to Mr. Sckels and scrutinized
by him md counsel. Several ,nlnntcs were con-
parently set on foot to find ovt tie author
