THE CASE OF PELIZZIONI.  _  Mr. Baron Channoll having summed up the evidence, The Jury said they should like to retire, and they left the court at half-past 7 o'clock to deliberate. They were absent about 10 minutes, and then again retured into court and their names wero called over.  Mr. Avory, the Clerk of Arraigns, then called over their names, and put the formal question to them, whether they had agreed upon their verdict, and whether they found the prisoner guilty or not guilty. The Foreman, in an emphatic tone—We find that the prisoner is Not Guilty. The instant the verdict was delivered there was a tremendous burst of cheering, and great number of persons in the court stood up and hurrahed frantically, at the same time waving their hats. It was useless to attempt to put a stop to the interruption, sheriffs, under-sheriffs, and others were alike powerless to prevent the unseemly proceeding. When the cheering seemed to lull a little it was taken up again, and joined in by the crowd outside the court, and the scene was most extraordinary. Baron Channel, when he was able to make his voice heard, said that such a proceeding was most improper in a court of justice, and if any one was pointed out to him as being concerned in the disturbance he should know how to deal with him.  Mr. Ribton (in the absence of Mr. Ballantine) then said that there was another indictment against the prisoner, which charged him with wounding Bannister, but he supposed that after the verdict that had just been returned the counsel for the Crown would not proceed with it. lie therefore applied that a verdict of Not Guilty should bo taken.  Mr. Beasley said that the solicitor for the Treasury was instructions with present at that moment, and ho had no with reference to this charge. sporisoonnlevritwhatshee indictment,ntitledte bet ried, and r ff.

(A laugh). Mr. Beasley, after a short delay, said he would take the responsibility upon himself, after what had occurred, of not offering any evidence in support of the charge of wounding Bannister. The prisoner was then formally given in charge to the jury upon that indictment, and, no evidence being offered they again returned a verdict of not guilty, and this was the sequel for another enthusiastic burst of cheers. A number of gentlemen shook hands with Mr. Negretti, and congratulated him upon the result of his benevolent exertions, and the prisoner was removed from the bar. The proceedings on Saturday occupied nearly ton hours. It is hardly necessary to remind the public that the prisoner is still under sentence of death for the murder of Harrington, and ho must, of course, remain in custody until the Government decide what course shall be taken. As, however, it appeared to be admitted on all hands that one man only was guilty of the whole of the acts of violence  that were committed on this night at the Golden Anchor, the present verdict is tantamount to his being declared entirely innocent, so that the natural result would be that a  pardon should be granted him for the offence of which ho at present stands convicted.
