Court of Quarter ses-ious-IudEe Pierce.


To-day the Court was in session at the old court
room. to complete the business of the July term
During the first two weeks of the term a petit ury
was IN attendance, and by the commendable indus
Try OF the Judge, District Attorneys and all engaged
In the conduct OF the business, the heavy prison
calendar was so disposed to justify vacation of
two weeks during which time the new cOurt-room
has been undergoing thorough cleansing ana air.
ing, OF which 1t stood in need, and those persons
whose calling keeps them confined in the crowded
forum all the year have been seeking recreation In
more genial quarters.
The next term Is to be held by his Honor ,JudOc
Brewster who, it is understood, intends to dispose
not only of the prison that have been accumu-
lating since the middle of July, but also the bail
cases OF the term and those remaining over from
April and May, to effect which he will no doubt re-
quire double daily sessions, and most probably night
sessions
To despatch public business speedily is a most
laudabe object, but during the long hot days OF Au-
gust the jurors Witnesses lawyers, and perhaps the
Court Itself, will find 1t an ungracious task.
Lunncy Case.
Before Judge Peirce this morning application was
made, upon hdbeds corpus, for the discharge of Mr.
James Barrett from the PENNSYLVANIA Asylum for
toner became troubled in mind family dinlcul-
ties, and took to excessive drinking, which agRra-
waited his already impaired understanding and made
him undt to be at liberty.
He was, therefore, placed in the asylum by his
relatives, under office found by a commission, and
recent statute upon the subject, and was confined
there from May 20 until few days ago. At first
eXcitable and violent, he had since become calm and
reasonable and by his attendant is considered sane
and harmless, though the physician says his mind is
still deranged. The managers of the asylum eX-
viewing the whole case, thought it proper to grant
his discharge, and so ordered.

POISONED.
The Crew of the ship Southern Cross Poisoned
En- NIasse.

The Boston TrdCeljer says:-
1t will be remembered that a telegraphic de-
spatch received from San Francisco reported
that the crew of the ship Southern Cross of
Boston, had been poisoned at Manila. May rs.
but whether they had died was not stated. 4
letter received here from the captain, dated MAY
10, says that twenty-four men of his crew. out
of twenty-seven, had been poisoned on the 18th
by drinking coffee, but fortunately medical aid
had saved their lives up to the hour of writing.
and he was in hopes that they would soon re-
cover. How the poison was put in the coffee
was mystery. IT could not have been the cook
for he was among the sickest of the men, and at
one time it was thought doubtful whether he
could recover.
The event caused much excitement on shore
and the police were Immediately put in requisi-
tion to find a clue to the perpetrator of such a
diabOlical act. The coffee was taken ashore and
subjected to analysis by the chemists and mill
tary surgeons. AS later dates have been received
from other sources, and as no mention is made
of any of the men having died. we infer that
they all recovered. About the Sth of June
the ship was reported nearly ready to sail for
Boston.
Advices since received state that the shin
Southern Cross had sailed from Manila MAY %
for Boston, and hence we inSer that her crew
had recovered.
