Trial of DR.. Hosea w. LfDDey ON an
Indictment for MansIaughter-Tes-
tfmony all happening Argument
Of {. W. Palmer, ESQ.
The criminal branch of the court met at
nine o'clock yesterday morning, Judge Boil
ton presiding. The taking of evidence on
the part of the State was resumed, and
| completed at an early hour of the forenoon.
No new facts were developed i9(the testi-
mony elected. The counsel for the defense
called a few witnesses,-Wells Pomeroy,
Aaron c.. Bullock, Drs. NJ. Y. Turrill, ]. C.
Sanders, Proctor Thayer, Mr.. Brown and
one or two others. AS will be seen, the
witnesses were chiefly medical gentlemen.
Their professional opinions were sought on
the professional aspects of the case, the de-
tails of which would not be of general in
terest, or calculated to edify. DR.. NJ. Y.
Turrill was the sheet anchor Of the defense;
indeed, he was their best "holt." His tes-
timony was a tissue of imp~robsbilities and
marvellous statements. His memory was
wonderful; he could remember the smallest
details on one side,-memory like a micro
scrope,-had EN- all down on his thumb
nail, but was totally oblivious of all cir
cumstances that might damage his
great co-lsborer in the noble cause
of unlawful obstetrical operations. He
flew to the rescue of the great man who
was under the shadow of a cloud testified
that he (TurrilD went to Ashland to consult
with an NJ. I. with reference to the case of
Mrs. Houghton; that she had tempered
with herself; that he was at DR.. Libbey's
Office when deceased was there advised
the mode of treatment; he was, in short, the
champion of abortion-craft. His testimony
would no more affect a jury of sensible men
especially man knowing the witness, as
that jury does-than the wind affects the
thermometer. They know that he was con-
victed, a year or two ago, of the crime laid
to the charge of DR.. Libbey, and that be saved
himself by some technicality, as it were by
the skin of his teeth, from suffering the
penalty of the law. His testimony will have
no weight. And the testimony of no other
witness would seem even to tend toward
the making of a case for defendant, or
breaking the iron network woven around
him by the prosecution.
About four o'clock the argument in the
case was opened by Chas. W. Palmer, ESQ.,,
who spoke in the foreible, eloquent manner
characteristic of him, until half-past five
o'clock, when the Court adjourned till nine
o'clock this morning. This forenoon, and,
perhaps, a good portion of the afternoon,
will be consumed by the argument of
Messrs. C. W. johnson and S. E. Adams,
counsel for the defendant. (For a weak
child needs much cosseting, fondling and
purring.) NJ. S. Castle, Esq, will close in a
plea which will, no doubt, be irresistible in
logic and eloquent as are all his efforts. 1t
is doubtful if the case will be given to the
Jury to-day. The counsel for the defendant
evidently intend to "exhaust all the re-
of attorneyism in the effort to clear
the great s%piritulistie NJ. D..

The METROPOLITAN POLICE BIL.-Those
interested in the above bill will, by referring
to the report OF the Council proceedings last
night, see that a resolution approving the
same was adopted, ayes ten, nays seven.
Mr.. Huntington introduced the resolu-
ton, and called for the reading OF
the substitute for The original Metro
politan bill. It was read, whereupon
Mr.. Sturges moved that the resolution and
substitute be referred pack to the Special
Committee who reported adverse to the bill
at the meeting of the Council of the pre-
vious week. After a sharp debate, Mr..
Dangler, author of the bill, participating,
the motion to refer was lost. The adoption
of the resolution, offered by Mr.. Hunting
ton, was moved and seconded. The debate
was sharper han before. 1t was shown
that, with a decrease of expenditure of
Sl,54O, the police force, under the new sys-
tenn, would be increased by the addition of
three men, while it must become vastly
more efficient.
There was a good deal of feeling displayed,
and the features of not a few trustees muf-
fed up in the breeze. Several sages got up
their spinal columns lin the vulgar got
their backs up"). Two or three wished to
be excused from voting. for one reason or
another, and, when not excused, each
recorded an emphatic "No!' The voice
came down like the violent sitting down Of
a two hundred pound Dutchman, and with
the momentum of a far-falling thousand OF
brick. But the resolution was adopted, to
the discontinue of a few, but to the joy and
rejoicing of h many present
We forgot to mention one incident,
which, being (" faithful journalists" we
would not willingly omit. The junior
trustee of the Fifth Ward asserted, with the
air ofan omniscient being, his feet wide
apart, and hands in the nethermost depths
of his breaches pockets, that the substitute
should be referred pack to the Committee,
as it was SO long that it couldn't take
it all in lit lOasN't forty-rod whisky it was
at least three times as long as the original
bill. The author OF the document informed
him it was not n line longer than the bill
which said committee reported.
Item smoker " all around the room," and
the sage decomposed.
In conclusion, the bill was approved by
he Council.

TUESDAY EVENING, Feb. %, 1855.
Under a reduced demand, and freer de-
Posits, balances with the city banks are
gradually increasing, and a more comfort
able feeling prevails with bankers. The
market, however, is not easy, and in dis
counting bankers are not disposed to go
much beyond the circle of their best Gus
toners, and in the main eonine their favors
to this class.
Eastern Exchange is reported to be work.
ing easier, with a very light demand. Re-
ceipts are, however, only moderate, and the
improvement is very gradual. Rates are
steady at par buying and lie premium
selling.
In relation to the supply of money in
New York there is considerable disparity
of statement. The Herald of Monday saws
that Notwithstanding the large Withdrawals
into the sub-Treasury, "money may still be
called abundant at this centre p and the
Tribune of the same date says " The sup
ply of currency is not SO abundant as many
suppose, and in the absence of any ~lepisla-
ton increasing the power of the Secretary
of the Treasury to diminish il, will not be
abundant enough to make a CHEAP money
market" Gu dispatches tonight report an
ample supply of currency at I per cent.
Financial matters generally in New York
to-day were very steady. Gold showed an
advancing tendency, but closed without
change at 1863. Governments were firm.
with an improved demand for seven-thir-
ties; gold bonds quiet.
In this market dealers made no change
IN prices of coin and governments from yes
terday's rates. There is very little doing in
coin, and transactions in government bonds
are chiefly in se~ven-thirties. E. j. Farmer

HIS nation spent, his temple sacked,
A naughty exile, under ban
From pole to belt he holds intact
The ancient grandeur Of the man.
Vain burnt the fires his faith to melt
His tough will turned the rack TO straw
The granite tablets were his law,
And to the One High God he kneit.
Before his zeal fell hate and spite;
Wide grew the narrowness Of marts-
Immortal, sole cosmopolite,
He gave for freedom all the arts.

The foremost sails he followed still,

And peace and trade to heathens taught.

A child of genius in all climes,
He drew the MUSES. to himself.
Of Gods august historian heir
Who made creation eloquent
To themes occult and grand he bent

His pencil s%purned, his marble crushed,
When art TO Monks its lease resigned,
The splendor of his numbers hushed
The ruder music Of humankind.
Outliyed all stain, and gibe, and seAth-
Apart and proud he holds his life
Fast in the promise of his faith
As in the dark eyes Of his wife =
Behold his fate the Jew reverse,
A whose exehequer monarchs stand,
His foot on the almighty purse,
The bonds Of Empire in his hand!

WEHLTs CONCERT To-NIGHT.-We need nc
repeat that this eminent pianist will appear
in Brainard's Hall tonight. He will b,
ably assisted by Mile Gebele, contraIto
and Mr.. S. c.. Campbell, the splendid basso
The Buffalo Commercial speaks of WehlTi
playing, at the concert given there on Sat
urday evening, as follows:
Mr.. Wehli then came out in his usual
quiet manner and was received with great
applause. He played his "Faust Fantasia"
for the first time in this city. We had been
slightly prepared for the effect this piece
would produce, from the praise the New
York critics had given it. 1t is a compost
ton calculated to surprise and delight, and
is one of the most effective concert pieces
we ever heard. 1t struck US as being yerv
much in LISTS style, and we can award it
no higher praise at all events it is a work
which reflects high credit upon the COM
poser. Its execution was in every respect
perfect We need only mention his won
derful octave playing in both hands, which
for rapidity could not be excelled.
Of course this piece was encored and he
gave us his ever fresh and fragrant
Trembling Leaves" which exhibited his
perfection of touch, delicacy and lightness,
and a peculiar talent he has of making de-
lightful little cresendos and diminuendos in
short phrases of his subject. Mr.. WehIi
commands the attention of his audience as
few pianists can, and we attribute it to his
quietness I'M ease, his brilliancy and light
ness, and the purity of his style, To saw
nothing of the taking quality OF his compo-
sitions.
