SLAIN JOHN MCGUIRE.
The trial of Frank Brady. one of the persons in
dicted for the murder Of John McGuirk. at Now Ro-
chee in September last after three days hearing,
came close yesterday at White Plains. and the
fence was summed up by Mr.. Charles Brooke, and
the prosecution by Assistant District Attorney Cor
coran The murder for which Brady was indicted is
known to the readers of the HERALD as the '.Park
lane" homicide. Park lane being the name OF tho
thoroughfare in New Rochelle in which the
crime committed. All accounts of the
affair agree that it grew out of debauch and gen.
eral fight. and the whole interest in the case turns
on certain slight disagrecments to the progress
and conduct Of the fight. Briefly stated the facts
are as foovs:-On the 18th of september last Frank
Brady and . companion named John Quinn pur-
chased bottle Of liquor at saloon at New Rochelle
and shortly thereafter met John McGuirk, vino

Mrs. Iinkort testified that she heard the conversa
tion between Mrs. Burns and the prisoner. and then
aftcrward. from the window OF hor house. saw tho
prisoner strike tho PROSTATE several times.
e blood stained stones found in the vicinity of the
body were produced by the prosecution. and It was
sought to prove that the prisoner administered
blows tho deccased with them, but the testimony
was not clear this point.
Tho testimony for the defence, given mainly by
the prisoner aud Quinn. who Is also under indict
mont, was to tho effect that on the night in question
they met Mc9uirk and he drank with them. There
had been diffculty OF long standing between Quinn
aud Mcduirk and II revived with tho Inhibition Of
liquor from the bottle previously spoken OF. They

Quinn that McGuirk stabbed him sew
cral times, and that he defended himself with
the bottle aud managed once or twice TO
hit McGuirk ON the head. He then ramblcd off and
was found In the morning almost dead. Brady
denied having used the stone produced and on this
evidence the case was presented to the jury

The vanishing day. OF the flfty-fourth annual

place to-day when the artists and critics will have
the first opportunity of viewing what is stated to
be collection Of unusual excellence We are glad
to hear that the Hanging Committee have followed
in selection and hanging similar to that which

against 747 numbers in the catalogue 1873 there
will be this year but 65. This fact alone n encour-
aging, and IT, In stated fair has beon given
TO all contributors, whether of the old, middle or

exhibition, and the pictures hung there of the

longer place OF refuge for those whose pictures
ought to have been rejected but which soft hearted
hanging committees have accepted and hung there
on suf1erancc. The pieces of sculpture, of which
there are oven fewer than last year, placed, as
then, In tho gallery the frst floor, at tho right
hand OF tho door OF entry There are also hung the
water colors. ctchings. and ink wood cngravnes

unequal and decidedly mixed appearance which, with
the poor quality of the work shown there, has been
its leading characteristic for years.

THE BRITISH pERRAGE.

Mr.. levin. at the Union Square Theatre yesterday.
gave his concluding lecture on the "British Peer
age" carrying down his narration to the present
timo. The audience was very select and composed
mostly of ladies' Like the previous lectures. Mr.
Lewin's account was thickly interspersed with in
tercsting and amusing anecdotes. Mr.. Levin re-
frred to the dangers through which the peerage had
passed In 1872, and raised the question rs to
whether it would now have much longer life. Tho
lecturer thought it would be found hard to kill,
looking to the fact OF its democratic character and
that 1t Is constantly receiving accessons from the
people, and to the deep seated regard of the bulk
the English people for venerable homes and the
custom Of prlmogeniturc. Ii the peerage comes to
end it will, the lecturer thought be by its own
fault So long the Order is true itself it will
be respected and maintained. The lecturer pointed
out that whereas much is heard OF the disrepu-
table ana dissolute peers the public hears little of
the majority who quietly their way fulAlling the
duties OF their station. He further dwelt on the
fact that reforms have como from the peeragc. and
that Lords Grey. Spencer and Russell led the reform

shiftless. uncertain. beautiful bit Of machinery,
wanting only the mainspring-an Irish literary sol.
dcr of fortune with his heart in his hand-one of
the best fellows in the world. Here folloyed long
and careful analysis of the writings this rcmarka-
BILE Irishman. As magazinist he first treated,
his 'Reliques." gathered from Ftascr's Magazine
being considered in their various characteristics.
Before introducing the subject Of her lecture Miss
Sanborn cited several instances of the quickness
of the same spent in the epigrams
OF Father Prout. his satire she thought
delicious. His translatons, too, claimed
her attention. and she found in them the spirit Of
the language in which the originals were written.
His classic ausions also delightful. the quaint
learning which, In Father Prouts day, was so CON-
mon among Irishmen-a relic OF the time in Ireland
when cow boys addressed their herds in Latin

But the ballads varying from the lovely to the ten
der, now sounding with the blast OF the trumpet
and now SOFT as the tones OF the Lutte received
the most afectionate treatment and some Of
them were recited with good effect. For
personal description Of her subject Miss Sanborn
quoted from George William Curtis. who saw Father
Prout in Rome while Mahoney was the correspondent
of the London Daily Neos. OF the Roman correspond
of which he the originator. The lecture
throughout consisted OF carefully coated facts and
conscientious and intelligent criticism, aud the
quaintuess, the tenderness the simplicity and the
beauty Of Father Prouts writings were AL amplfed
and illustrated.

recount the substance OF the lecture when 1t
over began by saying 1t was all about Father Prout.

calculated to draw the attention Of her hearers to
close study of modern Irish literature, aud it Is
dersood that her lecture is to be followed by another
