/ A SERIoEs TURNING OF THE TABLEs-Our read
ers will remember that on the morning of the I'D
November last, we chronieied the account OF bru-
tai murder upon the person Of one Edward Collins
which took place on the previous evening. near the
corner of Julia and Fulton streets. For this crime,
after he had voluntarily given himself into ctstody
Of Of the police: Thomas Murphy was accused By
the Coroner's jury, and one John BIacken held as
an accessory and a William Murphy detained as
the prinipal witness. Yesterday, however, in a.
lengthy evidence before Assistant Recorder Mon
roe, the table was entirely turned, and William
placed in the position Of Thomas Murphy This
was manifestly consistent, as the witness William
Murphy not only contradieted and criminateR him
self by various conflicting statements, but Thomas
Murphy clearly proved an abb; and all the spirit
and bearing of the testimony went to show that
t VIM. Murphy was the person who committed the
murder In consequence Recorder Monroe, with
out any hesitation, discharged Thomas Murphy and
the Chief of Police made affidavit against VIII
liam for the murder of E. Collins upon which he
was sent to the First District Criminal Court to wait
f trial.

,, TRYING TO MAKE A GREAT FIGURE.-It has been
said that the ambition of of parts is very
often disappointed for the want of some common
quality, by the assistance of which men with very
moderate abilities are capable of making a. great
figure. Now Peter Well who lives at No 6 jSleis.
sess' Row, has found, or may find it, to his to
, indulge an effort at making figure by his parts.
P. WIS parts are $50 lbs in the flesh, more or less,
and his figure is quite Adons-like. Still Peter W.
had not the maxim of ambitious trials or triumphs
! quoted above. No; he was simple Peter-a
brick-a rock-a pyramid of moral reform, and he
has proven this by becoming the oommonw alths
, defender and prosecutor in case involving q very
large principle, but pitiful capital Peter came
before Assistant Recorder Monroe yesterday and
filed his ipsi dat that is if ii can be filed against

of tombola or lottery with knife, a set of shirt
studs, spoon, pair of ear drops some small
tooth combs, bottle of cologne water, a boot
