Testimony of various Witnesses BE

The Patterson case was resumed yes
terday morning in the Circuit Cour
rooms before Justices Griffith and Hill
Nothing, however, of interest took place
in the forenoon. Col. George CAN'T
Gen. John Sale and Mr.. P. T. Chambers
appeared for the prosecution, and Col
A. j. Ke'lar has also been retained. The
defense is conducted by Gen. William
Wallace, Mr.. John Hallum and George
Washington, Esq. In the afternoon four
witnesses for the State were examined
and cross-examined at length, the prose.

ST.. PETERS CoSCERT.-The concert at
ST. Peters, on Easter Monday evening
next, deserves more than q mere passing
notice. The performers, ladies and gen.
tlemen, rank among the best in the city,
and the music has been selected with
great care, and is throughout of q superior
character. The double male quartette,
being the Chorus of the Pilgrims on
arriving within sight of home on their
return from pilgrimage, their final
march and prayer upon reaching home,
ere ell gems from Richard Wagners
opera 7dnnhauser. The chorus ITO
God in Heaven" from Moses in Egypt,
has never been sung here before, and
will be sure to please. The grand Mag
ui6cat," by Lambillotte, with which the
concert will close, is splendid compost
ton, and with the full power Of chorus
of twenty-four performers and of the
grand organ viii form suitable finale to
q concert which, we predict, will be
musical success. "a
