David SeisSon and John Gilt, auents for the tranaiwrtttiion of passengers and merchandise, rented the store No. Itfci Maiden Lane, Irom Mr. Patrick Cougan, a master builder, ol Beekman street. A leaae wa; drawn up at the time, renung the premises for two years and seven months at glOtlO per annum* the conditions of which were that $125 waa to be paid on signing the lease, $125 on the first of November, making the amount for the first three months, and the remaining payments to be made quarterly, as is customary. Nothing re- lative to tie month ot January was inserted in the lease, but ihe amount due for that time necessarily would have fallen due on the fir^t of May, with the succeeding three monibs of that quarter. The two puyments,of $125 each were paid as agreed upos.aBd receipts giti*n by Cougan, the last of which, dated November 2d, 1941, was witnessed by Mr. Roberr Siffith On the 17th of January, Mesara.

He obtained a landlord's warrant there- on and levied upon, removed and sold upwards of JtSflO worth of property to meet the demand. Oa .thischarge he wat arrested, as he had previously re- ceived the rent for that mouth, and given his re- ceipt therefor, certified to by a witness. He denied the signature in the receipt shown, and thus placed himself in aposiiion to prevent sll possibility of hts making a pb*a of error in da'e when he made the af- fidavit, lie was finally admitted to bail in the sum of $1000, which lie procured. " MOHK AMAUJAMATIOJI.—Ofiicer Stephens yester- day inado a descent on the premises«1 a notorious house of prostitution and amalgamat'on, kept by a colored hag named Charlotte Carter, at 100 Mott street. Two good looking white girls named Julia Day and Mahnda Ross, aged abou'. 19 years, were found upon the premises, who had been kept there lor the base purposes of amalgamation- The girls were sent to KlackwelPs Island as vagrants, and the keeper of the brothel committed to prison in default of finding $1000 bail. THE MAR who has been missing for several days left his home oa Tuesday last. Hi: name isGer- h trt Graber, and he resided at the corner of Hester and Allen sireets.

FOW»D DaowitED—An unknown man, about thirty years of age, was found drowned on Oovernor'* Island, yesterday afternoon Hf was dressed in sailors clothes, with black cloth vest, and had been in the water for several weeks. The Coroner held an inquest on the body, and finding no marks of vulence, ordered it to be buried on the island. TH« WALEIH© FEAT—A man, by the name of William NileiL undertook, on-Thursday night, at 7 o'clock, to walk or stand for foity-eight successive hours, without sleep or rest. He continued until yesterday morning, at 74 o'clock, when he fell down, perfectly exhausted, and slept for several hours before he could be awakened. L'p to the time he stopped, he walked 35^ rtouis. without reit, and consequently may be considered game. We i$)der?iand that the teat has btseu attempted in En- gland a great number of tunes, but never aceom- piiahed, except in one instinct;; and tor the purpose of showing the bottom of American blood. Robert L. Stevens*, E*q having madeextensive waaers on the result, has offered to give the sum of 94000 to any man who will accomplish a. Nil-a says he will attempt it again, but we understand that some dozen individuals start for the purse on Monday morniBg, in various pari* of the city. Therefor* the earliest one on the atairt may be the surest to win. DARIKO Roaaaar —On Friday evening, a man, named Henry Stpkeley, m looking into the good and evil of our emporium, entered one of the dens on the "Five Point*,** arid after calling for some liquor, proceeded t^settie the amount due by taking aome money fro» his pocket, when three rogues, who were setting in the cellar, pounced upon him, with the word "deliver-" He held in his hand $2 notes and one $3, which they endeavored to extricate from his grasp ; but fulling by manual force, one of the scoundrels, named James Campbell, took a knife and scored the back of his hand until he deli- vered the lands- The three then attempted to es- cape, when skokeley held on to Campbell and suc- ceeded in gettinghtm to the watch-hou*e, where he was locked up. The other two, named Peter Boyle and Henry Smith, escaped, but were caught last evening by officer Wra. Jri Stephena, the "old Hays" of the Sixth Ward. Stokeley had a consi- derable amount of money in his pockets that es- caped the notice of these desperate rogues, or without doubt, they would not have hesitated to murder him to obtain it Persons, who wish to be robbed, can always find a customer on the Points Baxaaiao an laon CHEST TO IWKS — The eounting room of Messrs.

[Cerresposdenen of the Herald.] HARSISBUROII, Feb 3,1S42. Ae-*umpttea /fesoruAont— Mr. Kidder—State Work* —Bank BUI—The Wtathtr— Senators— 1julie» t <$*£• Smco mty last letter, the resumptioa resolutions of whieh f than spoke, have occupied all the tinao of the Senate. The discussion still continue*, and a vote will hardly bo taken for soma days. All the old panic speeches that have been made for the last few years, have been repeated, since these re- solutions were introduced; ar.d no one will pre- tend to say, that all the discussion we have had, has thrown on© additional ray of light on the tub- ject. Argument has almost been lest eight of in samo instances, and personal reflection taken it* plaoe. We had something of a treat the other day in a speech from Mr. Kidder, the new Senatorfrom Lnzerne. On Tuesday, he went into an able argu- ment in favor of an immediate resumption. This argument, and even Mr. K. himself, was attacked it a very ungenilem tuly manner, by a " small po- tatoe" whig Senator from the west, who run up the black flAg of abuse and misrepresentation- Mr. K , who, though a youag man, moves in debate like a stately ship at sea, disregarding the smaller craft, rt-plifd to the gentleman in a speech of more than an hoar and a half in length, and treated him with just severity. Although severe, be was diguiAed and eloquent. Provoked to anger, he spoke with great energy, and hia withering rebuke and biting sarcasm, will aot toon be forg >tten by the subject that called them forth. A bill has been introduced into the Senate, au- thorising the Governar to sell the whole line of improvement* from Philadelphia to Pittsburg, for $20,000. A number of other proposiions are about being mado to curtail the expenses of the govern- ment. The Bank Bill introduced into the House of Rep. resentatives, the other day, is progressing •slowly- Many of its provisions meet with hat little favor. The followingn an abstract of its provisioas: Sec. I. Froviees for an immediate resumption. 5~Thtr Relief votes to be received by the Stale freastrrar lor tuxes, tolls, Ac. and not to be re-issued. 3. Banks whieh issued notes under the Relief Bill, not to pay specie on them or receive them iu payment of debts; but when $100 is presentedan order is to tie drawn oh the Treasur- er for that amount ot 6 per cent. State stock. 4 Refusal to comply with these provisions to work an absolute forfeiture of charter. The other sections provide for the appointment of trustees, &c. lie , to take .'Large of and wind up the banks, and other matters of no general in- terest. ' ' A proposition has been made in the House to cre- ate a Sub-Treasury lor the sate keeping and dia- bursement of the moneys of the Commonwealth- The weather has undergone a decided change within the la»t twenty-four hours; and I fear our spring-like days are about leaving us. Thia is a great pity, too, (or ladies will not throng the Capi- tol to much. But then we will have more legisia ting, an a less speaking. Seine of our gray haired Senator* art bachelors, and at times, when the gal- leries are crowded with the lovely and the fair, they will make it convenient to perpetrate a speech, e.v.derttly thinking more of the tioux yeux of the la- dies, than of the aubjeet.

JAMES GORDO.V BEWHETT, ES<* : Mr DEAR SIR: — It is but seldom that anything happens in this quiet town on the seacoa.it worth* writing about; but when anything does turn up.it is bat proper to write and talk about it as much as we can- Such an event, is the appearance, in this earner oi the world, of Charles Dickens f.»q ; and since the arrival in our ciiy of this amiable and truly accomplished gentleman, he has been welcomed and bored by numberless attentions, from two c!..s' sej of persons— welcomed bv i<m , who honor him in responding (in the elegant manner for which the tide of our metropolis are eel bratrd,) to the uu- m roua letters which he broUJSit from England— and bored by the ethers, a mixture of t .vlvi-ai and vulgarity, whom he patronises by permitting their advances. Thi* latter class ire by far the most numerous; and they go it with a "perfect loose- ness," intruding themselves at seasonable and un- seasonable hours, in their endeavors to catch a glimpse of the m o t fashionable and popular author of the day. Bat the most importunate persons are the elderly young matrons id an " hinterestings,ti- vation,"and romantic young ladies who want to be, who are dying to " scrutinize" the elegant nasal protuberance, which ornament* the face of the " handsomest man in Enghuid." Dinners, halls, parties, soiree, dejennee's, drives, and all that, has b en proffered in profu- sion, and the mauagers of the theatres find 16 their infinite satisfaction tint the " London Lion" draw* better than Etssler or Lardner, tragedy or farce; and poor atiekens finds to his cost that " a temper at mild aa a lamb, and the hactioa of a steam hin- gin*," an impertoat rcqnUite in a " Lion," as well a* a cab horse. The dinner to eome off at Papanti's Saloon is over, and it ended at all such dinners usually do, in speeches, songs, sentiments, head-aches, and soda water, and " the nice young men," the " Horatio Sparkea*e»," and the »« Percy Noakete*," through whose exertions this compliment was tendered, have slept off the fumes of the champaign, and have returned with red eyes and throbbing heads to their daily avocations, writing balderdash for the magaxiae*, compounding pills an i lotions, retailing sixpenny almanacks, reporting the crudities of the member from Squashborough, and defending in the police eonft the aalawful purrings of some worn oat '* Baaitreste de plai*or."

We havf a variety of reminiscences of Colt's trial and Colt's*character, which will be worth bringing out occasionally, in the absence of excruciatingly uuerestina| news from Europe. We give to-rjay, our reporter's notes of the eloquent speech of John C. Morrel w Esq. the couscl who opened the case of Colt for the (lettuce. It is worth reading. We have also critical notea of the speeches of Messrs Whiting, Selden, Smith and Emmet, which we shall publish one of these days. Mr. MnaaELL.—May it plesse the Court, and yon, gentlemen of the Jury—We have now arrived at that stage of this trial when the most *olemn,the most our reus, and most difficult part of their duty devolves Upon the prisoner's counsel. After hav- ing already consumed so large a portion of your time, and so severely tested your patience while investigating the evidence for the prosecution, it now necessarily becomes my duty more minutely to examine that evidence, and bring forward sucu rebutting testimony as in my opininu must fully and effectually wipe off at once and forever thut loul stain which now aullies th« name and fame of my unfortunate clien*, and brands upon hi* brow the greatest crime denounced by Heaven or punished by man—the murder of a ft How being. You. have arraigned before you a young man just entcnngtii- to life, in |he spring time of his existence, placed hy cirenmatanee beyond hi* control iu the meet Un- fortunate an J pitiable situation that can befall a hu- man being OR this side the grave—with no earta'y friend but one, oa whninhecju call for supporter sucior, one only brother to whom alone he can look for consolation, iu this most trying hour of hia need—deprived by misfortuee of the assistance df a father, wattle, as has already been shown you, gen- tlemen, MR mother and his sisters have descended to " that bourne from whence no traveller returns." And merciful indeed has been that dispensation of Providence whieh summoned them to a better world e'efthey witnessed a scene whieh must hare so sadly embittered the remainder ot their life in thi*. [Hire the prisoner wept bitterly.] Gentle- men, 1 address a Jury of my fellow men; and if you possess bejt the ordinary attributes of human nature your spmpathies must have been excited forthe prisoner during the progress of 'hit trial. 1 know they have been excited, and sure I am you feel an anxious hope that he will be able to show to your- selves, the court and the world at large, that he is not guilty of the crime with which he stands charg- ed. ThatJ your hopes will be realized, gentlemen, appears to me hardly the subject of a doobt. Ere this trial be concluded, we tru,t to show now sa- tisfactorily and conclusively that the prisoner at the barit guiltless of that crime for which he stands arraigned^ before you, if indeed be be gnil y of any crime at all. But, gentlemen, while your sympathies have been not improperly excited tn behalf of the prisoner nt the bar, we must not forge*, that others also connec- ted with Ibis causo have had itrong claims upon your feeling* ; wo mutt not f »rget the heart strick- en widow of the dead—she too hat had her share ot tutteriog during the progress of this melancholy af- fair. We feel, and feel deeply lursituation, anJ 1 be- lie ve that amidst the immense crowd that fn s. this court room, not one individual amongst them feels a more afocere or heartfelt sympathyfor hen nan John C. Co t, the prisoner at the bar. But while ve sympathise with her, we must not forget to en- quire what does the law, what do the people de- mand and expect lro "' u * °" 'bis occasion 1 The law demands that the prisoner shall be tritd, and fairly tried on this charge, and the people ask tm>t that law shall be fairly administered, and justly but mercifully executed; that this prisoner shall be impartially tried by a jury of his fellow eiti- zeim,solely upon the evidence which is brought before them But while thi* is demanded hy the reflecting portion of our citizens, we all know that in every community there are men of passion* so strong, and prejudices so violent, as oftentimes to mislead their judgment, and carry away their rea- son captive, and tbat if such feelings and excite- ment weep to have sway, or unduly influence the mind of a jury, the prisoner, though perfectly guilt- le-s, wofjid oftentimes not only be condemned without trial, but pnaithed without a cause You, gentlemen, are solemnly called upon by your oaths to Iky aside all feeling* forthe prisoner, and all the sympathy you may have had for Mrs. Adams,and especially must you disregard either public clamor, or public prejudice on this solemn occasion ; you must approach its consideration per- fectly free from all pa.«-ion and all prejudice, from whatever source it may emanate. You must ap- proach thi* cause with hearts perfectly pure and unbiassed, determined to do jus ice between the priionerpnd the people, but to temper that justice with mefcy, that mercy which belongs to the law, tus.-paraJp from it and its highest attribute,. H you have cntirtained in your breasts any, even the slightest} prejudice against the prisoner, you must now, if jjpu have not done it before, eradicate those fet-iia;*, and sit in judgment calmly, justly, truly, Sid perfectly free from bias. One of my assoAiates in this cause, who hat told you that he was not learned in the criminal law, has conducted this cause, step by step, with the utmost cure and skill, and bad jou uot, gentlemen, the minuteness with which the District went over every point and particle oi on v, you might have been surprised that consume to much of your time andpatence ng out that evidence on thecross-exa- But we were determ ined, a - became our atest this eate at every poiut ; to watch le from itt origin through alt its minutest ramification" and bearings upsn the case; for as the learned District Attorney would tell you in his stuntning up,"trifles light asair,'[ when unite I, tell iicw*)rlal y a*aiast the prisoner in such a case, and thi* is the reasunwe havecondufted this cause as we ha^e dene; however much two may have weared you, it would hare been much more painful to us had we neglected to do so. This is a trial that may atlect the life of this prisoner, and every man as f ou all know, will fight to the last gasp for which his Creator hat given him. At time it it not the desire, it hat not been , it is set the duty of his counsel to dis- or pervert the truth : but it is their duty, been their aim, to see the law fully ad- ministeird, and justice duly meted out to ail. Now lef u * well understand what is the charge for w Inch this prisoner is placed upoa trial. It is well that we should look to this point; for after all, gentlenutOi it is you who are to pats finally upon this matter You, at the court will tell you, are to be the ulial judges of the law and the facts in thit case. There were some remarks of hie Honor,Juige Kent, litis morning (and to far as talent, learning, luslice, patience, firrunett, and indeed mercy, are concerned, we feel bound to admit tbat they are possessed in an eminent degree by hit honor,) in relation to which I oiierwith the court in the de- cision they hare made, though I do so without di«- respect to the learned presiding jndge ; but by that decision we are called upon here to antwer to the charge jsf having shot Samuel Adams! and we are called upon to say why we shall not be eon rat- ed of this charge And yet the indictment upon which eye were arraigned at the opening of this cause, fulled upon us to tay why we should not be convicted of taking the life of Samnel Adams by blows with a hatchet ! Now I can very Well un- d-rstaad the motives of the District Attorney in taking this ground. He found it wa.s impossible for him to substantiate, uadertne evidonce before yon, how the life of Adams could have been taken with a hatchet; and therefore, at a lust resource, he now endeavon to prove that it has been taken with a pistol* Now, gentlemen, let ut first tee what murder it ; for we may as well understand this point accurately. Murder, according to the law of atogland, according to the old common law definition of the crime, it the voluntary killing of a human being with force end arms, under the king't pease, nnd with malice aforethought, «x- pressed or implied. And it was upon this definition of the •rime that the decision of his Honor was bated tint morning. Thi* was the state of things before tike statute was brought in to define the crime of murder within correct limits; and onder ihe old law, in order to prove expretted malice, it was oaiy necessary to prove that a narty had wade a pre vious threat—bad said beforehand that he would do the deceased tome injury. This was expressed malice under the common law. And to prove im- plied malice, it was only necessary to show that a man in a quarrel with another teixed a hatchet or deadly weapon, and iniieted a fatal wound there- with; that wa* considered as implied maliee.mercly from the nsmg of the hatcnet.

A See. A Such kiHing. unlets it be manslaughter, or excusable, or juatiSahle homicide, at hereinafter pro- vided, shall be muiser ia the following cases : 1. When perpetrated from a premeditated design to effect the death of the person killed, or of any human being. , , a. When perpetrated by any act imminemlv danger out to others, and evincing a deprave mind, regard.«« of human life,blthot igA Without any premeditated design to effect the death of any particular individual. 3. When perpetrated without any design to tn"ect death by a person'etigaged in the commission of aay felor >. The ground taken by the District Atterney will be that the instrument made use of ia sufficient proof ot the malice aforethought- But under this statute be mutt thow that the instrument was used and the blow given expressly from a desi-n to cause death, or it is uot murder in the eye of the law, at you will perceive frem the following statute, 2d Rev. Stat, part 4, eh. 1, title 2d, art. 1, sect 6, H), 12. Sec. 0. The killing of a human being without a de- sign to effect death, by the act, procurement or culpable negligence of any other, while sachother is engaged. 1. In the perpetration of any crime or misdemeanor not amounting to felony : or S. In an attempt to perpetrate any such crime or mis demeanor. In cases where such killing would be murder nt -the common law, shall be deemed manslaughter in the first degree. , s Sec. It. The killing of a human being, without a de- sign to elfect death, ia a beat of passions, hut in s cruel snd unusual manner,unless it he committed under inch circumttancet aa to constitute excusable or justifiable homicide, shall be deemed manslaughter ia the second degree Sec. 12. The killing of another, inthufaeat of passion, without the design t* effect death, by a dengerona wea- pon, in any case except such wherein the killing of ano- ther is herein declared to be justifiable or executable, shall tie deemed manslaughter in the third degree. Now here we are told express I j that the killing of a human being! being without malice afore- thought ahall be held to be only manslaughter, to constitute the crime of murder ; the District At- torney ,is bound to thow tbat there wat a premedi- tated intention, a premeditated design on the part of John C. Colt to kiil Samuel A.iauia. But has he done thit 1 We say that he has notf And more, we shall thow you beyond the shadow of a doubt, that in thit case there wat no killing whieh would con- stitute murder in the eye of the law ; that there wat not such a killing at would render the prisoner guilty, even of manslaughter ia the ihird degree,and we shall be able to show further, that this was a justifiable or— -excusable homicide, if the evi- dence OH the part of the prosecution it su- fioient - I Adams, U* wight hav c tnoan bide the body, at Mosea die u lent to show that there wat a homicide at ail. n the clsef,of Exra White {reunited ia 24 Wen- dell) which wat ao ably argued and conducted by our associate in the law, Mr. David Graham, (who deserves very great credit for the perseverance, ability and zeal with which he carried that cause forward, till it was tested and deeided by the set- tled and just principles of law,) in that case it was deeided by the Supreme Court of this State that whim a prisoner is tried on an indictment for murder and the express malice Cannot be proved, bis acajnittal matt necessarily follow. New, gen- tlemen, let me ask you, have the prosecu- tion done this! Has a tingle particle of evi- dence been adduced, evincing any pre-medita mi on the part of John C. Colt to bill Samuel Adams 1 It remaina for yon, gentlemen, to examine thi* part of the cance most carefully. It is neither my wish, nor tbat of my associates, to thow before- hand of what nature our evidence will be Cir cumttances exist which forbid this coarse But we shall be fully able to show you, by a train of collateral circumttancet, that there is sufficient to acquit John C. Colt of the crime of murder as laid in the indictment. According to the decition of the Tennessee courts, express malice mutt be proved, or an acquittal result to the prisoner. If a doubt exist in the minds of the jury, ae te whether the crime be wurd er or manslaughter, thi;y must acquit the pri- soner; and if they doubt whether it be manslaugh- ter or exeatable homicide, they are equally boand to acquit him. [Here the learned geulieman read from the case of Mitchell vs. State of Tennessee 8 Yerger's Tennessee Rep., p. 514 ] If there it a doubt, a vacillation ia your minds at to the nature of the offence, yon are bound to give the prisoner the benefit of that doubt, and return a verdict of ac- quittal. Now, howstands this eatet Who caused Adams to visit Colli Did Colt ever invite him at any time to eome there 1 Look through the whole of the testimony, and see if there be a particle of evidence to show any appoint merit between them at any time—there is no thingof the kind * Hat John C Colt ever taid aay thing against Adams 1 aver nttcredan unkind word againtt h m ? Hat it not been the very reverse of this 1 On the contrary i* it not proved that in all their transaction* he was friendly, kind, talking with Adams, and of hit money transactions, with the most perfect cordiality and good feeling and yet the District Attorney tayt that there has been a mnrder in the language of the statute. Why, gentleman, if John C. Colt intended to kilt Adams, would he have done it there 1 in that room —adjoining the one occupied by Wheeler—a room which Wheeler's scholars frequented all hours of the day—in a building, the doort of which were at all timet open to the whole community—in e pub- lic place like that, to whieh every body had c< t- stant access 1 Could he have contemplated such a thing 1 Why,a man mutt have been frantic, who could for a moment have thought of committing such a deed m inch a place ! But, thank God, we set up no such defence, no plea of insanity in this case. Again, every thing has been said against Colt in the newspapers, that ingenuity and detrac tion could invent or assert It hat even been as- Incited that he bought a box and salt, that he en- closed the dead body in the box, and covered it with salt,and that he bought the hatchet and the awning, and procured the pail, &c. beforehand, with the ex- prettand premeditated detign of committing mur- der. But we shall be able te show that he had all these tilings in his room from the time be took pos- tessienof it till his arrest He purchased none of them (»i has been charged) for thispurpoae. Why the District Attorney has endeavored to prove otherwise. He brought a witness to prove that he purchased the awning, but failed in tbat; he then tried to show by the milkman tbat Colt made the box, but failed a second time- But it it not the part of the counsel for the opening to dwell upon that which more properly belong! to the summing up. !t is sufficient to state the general facta oa which we rely for the defence. Gentlemen of the Jury, no being taw Adams and Colt together in that room but the Almighty God himself; no perron taw what took place there' between them. Bar, gentlemen, there it snch a thing at an over-ruling Providence producing evidence to provide an acquittal, even ia such a case at this ; and 1 think that we bhall be able to thow yon by collateral testimony that the prisoner was exposed to violence and danger, such as left the trace, of it upon him -, and that fiom hit appearance and conduct, what he d d in that room must have been dose in self defence alone. We shall show yon, from testimony concerning the n.iture of these blows, that the wounds, if inflicted by him on Adams, could have been given but in self* defence We shall thow you thit by collateral evi- dence-by the testimony of the doetort, and by the appearance of the skull- 1 must confess that it struck one with.tnrprite, that a man like Wheeler, who swore be wasn't a coward, ahould actaa he did thit case, that he should believe a murder had been committed, and then merely listen and peep through the key hole and then call in others, talk over the matter and doaething elte; why did'nt Wheeler, if he had the belief he states, throw open those folding doort. when he could hare beheld the whole trantaetion as it occurred; why didn't he do this, whieh he knew he could have done by raiting that bolt and throwing open those doort 1 he injgbt thus have had the whole matter explained on the spot; and would then have tared the prisoner, the court, the jury, and ourselves, an infinite amount of trouble. If he was so greatly alarmed, hi* tes- timony mast be received with the caution and doubt inseparable from testimony give* under t eh cireumtuneet. But, Gentlemen, before I conclude, let me ask you what motive had JohuC Cot for destroying the life of Samuel Adams 1 It could not have bien malice, there ha. been no teatAmoay to show malice, either exprce. or i»pl>ed Nethwg like the least preroe dilation has been shown- What then was the motive—was it avarice'* Where it the evidence that A (am* had any money or any property at all about him None! Tttete in ao «5videneethat he had any thing of the tort — But it may be said, as ia the case of finding stolen g i©ds on a prisoner, thit the finding if the watch in Colt'* e trunk is proof of the larceny But we shall be able to show you that if Celt had beets in- clined to do to, he could have cheated Adams out of this very watch days before But John C Colt i< ..man who would acorn te do aay act like that There ia one point, aentlemea, in relation to this case, to which I with to call your attention before I tit down; you must s pa rate entirely, in year mind*, the act of killing from the subsequent aC* hi the pristner. N o man cr u'd tell hew he wntild set under similar circumstances.

City Intell lgaiice. THE w\y rokEKr Yofii SUWDAI MoRMso'aHER-

AL*>—AB coinpj»iutsare made at nearly ail our pub­lic housew that the Herald ««f Sunday morning is sto­len nearly aa soon as laid upon the reading room ta­ble, we advise the ^lerka of such establishments to write upon it,

" Stolen from " And insert the nime of the hotel to which it is eent in the blank. Thia will keep it safe.

A QtrsJTKHt in now drbating by the officers ot justice, who superintend the criminal jurisprudence •f our city, of the following character:—Whether the enda of lustico are as well effected by the arrest of person* about to commit crime, as they would be if no arrest should take place until after the crime had been committed-

ARREST roR PtajuRT.—On the 29 h of September last MessTS. David SeisSon and John Gilt, auents for the tranaiwrtttiion of passengers and merchandise, rented the store No. Itfci Maiden Lane, Irom Mr. Patrick Cougan, a master builder, ol Beekman street. A leaae wa; drawn up at the time, renung the premises for two years and seven months at glOtlO per annum* the conditions of which were that $125 waa to be paid on signing the lease, $125 on the first of November, making the amount for the first three months, and the remaining payments to be made quarterly, as is customary. Nothing re­lative to tie month ot January was inserted in the lease, but ihe amount due for that time necessarily would have fallen due on the fir^t of May, with the succeeding three monibs of that quarter. The two puyments,of $125 each were paid as agreed upos.aBd receipts giti*n by Cougan, the last of which, dated November 2d, 1941, was witnessed by Mr. Roberr Siffith On the 17th of January, Mesara. Scissoo and (•ill made a transfer of their stock and lease to Samuel Fisher, Sen., and on the same day Cougan went befrte'G. 1). Wbeelet, Esq , Coramis-sioner of Deeds, and made an affidavit that a balance of $83 33 was dae him for rent of the premises for one month, from the 1st of November to the 1st ot December. He obtained a landlord's warrant there­on and levied upon, removed and sold upwards of JtSflO worth of property to meet the demand. Oa .thischarge he wat arrested, as he had previously re­ceived the rent for that mouth, and given his re­ceipt therefor, certified to by a witness. He denied the signature in the receipt shown, and thus placed himself in aposiiion to prevent sll possibility of hts making a pb*a of error in da'e when he made the af­fidavit, l ie was finally admitted to bail in the sum of $1000, which lie procured.

" MOHK AMAUJAMATIOJI.—Ofiicer Stephens yester­day inado a descent on the premises«1 a notorious house of prostitution and amalgamat'on, kept by a colored hag named Charlotte Carter, at 100 Mott street. Two good looking white girls named Julia Day and Mahnda Ross, aged abou'. 19 years, were found upon the premises, who had been kept there lor the base purposes of amalgamation- The girls were sent to KlackwelPs Island as vagrants, and the keeper of the brothel committed to prison in default of finding $1000 bail.

THE MAR who has been missing for several days left his home oa Tuesday last. Hi: name isGer-h trt Graber, and he resided at the corner of Hester and Allen sireets.

THE CotRT or GENMUL Sessions meet on Mon­day morning, and the Board of Aldermen on Monday evening.

FOW»D DaowitED—An unknown man, about thirty years of age, was found drowned on Oovernor'* Island, yesterday afternoon Hf was dressed in sailors clothes, with black cloth vest, and had been in the water for several weeks. The Coroner held an inquest on the body, and finding no marks of vulence, ordered it to be buried on the island.

T H « WALEIH© FEAT—A man, by the name of William NileiL undertook, on-Thursday night, at 7 o'clock, to walk or stand for foity-eight successive hours, without sleep or rest. He continued until yesterday morning, at 74 o'clock, when he fell down, perfectly exhausted, and slept for several hours before he could be awakened. L'p to the time he stopped, he walked 35^ rtouis. without reit, and consequently may be considered game. We i$)der?iand that the teat has btseu attempted in En­gland a great number of tunes, but never aceom-piiahed, except in one instinct;; and tor the purpose of showing the bottom of American blood. Robert L. Stevens*, E*q having madeextensive waaers on the result, has offered to give the sum of 94000 to any man who will accomplish a. Nil-a says he will attempt it again, but we understand that some dozen individuals start for the purse on Monday morniBg, in various pari* of the city. Therefor* the earliest one on the atairt may be the surest to win.

DARIKO Roaaaar —On Friday evening, a man, named Henry Stpkeley, m looking into the good and evil of our emporium, entered one of the dens on the "Five Point*,** arid after calling for some liquor, proceeded t^settie the amount due by taking aome money fro» his pocket, when three rogues, who were setting in the cellar, pounced upon him, with the word "deliver-" He held in his hand $2 notes and one $3, which they endeavored to extricate from his grasp ; but fulling by manual force, one of the scoundrels, named James Campbell, took a knife and scored the back of his hand until he deli­vered the lands- The three then attempted to es­cape, when skokeley held on to Campbell and suc­ceeded in gettinghtm to the watch-hou*e, where he was locked up. The other two, named Peter Boyle and Henry Smith, escaped, but were caught last evening by officer Wra. Jri Stephena, the "old Hays" of the Sixth Ward. Stokeley had a consi­derable amount of money in his pockets that es­caped the notice of these desperate rogues, or without doubt, they would not have hesitated to murder him to obtain it Persons, who wish to be robbed, can always find a customer on the Points

Baxaaiao an laon CHEST TO I W K S — The eounting room of Messrs. Jamison 5c Sandford, 154 South street, was entered on Friday night, and the iron safe brokehopen and robbed of $40 in bank notes and specie.

Smco mty last letter, the resumptioa resolutions of whieh f than spoke, have occupied all the tinao of the Senate. The discussion still continue*, and a vote will hardly bo taken for soma days. All the old panic speeches that have been made for the last few years, have been repeated, since these re­solutions were introduced; ar.d no one will pre­tend to say, that all the discussion we have had, has thrown on© additional ray of light on the tub-ject. Argument has almost been lest eight of in samo instances, and personal reflection taken it* plaoe. We had something of a treat the other day in a speech from Mr. Kidder, the new Senatorfrom Lnzerne. On Tuesday, he went into an able argu­ment in favor of an immediate resumption. This argument, and even Mr. K. himself, was attacked it a very ungenilem tuly manner, by a " small po-tatoe" whig Senator from the west, who run up the black flAg of abuse and misrepresentation- Mr. K , who, though a youag man, moves in debate like a stately ship at sea, disregarding the smaller craft, rt-plifd to the gentleman in a speech of more than an hoar and a half in length, and treated him with just severity. Although severe, be was diguiAed and eloquent. Provoked to anger, he spoke with great energy, and hia withering rebuke and biting sarcasm, will aot toon be forg >tten by the subject that called them forth.

A bill has been introduced into the Senate, au­thorising the Governar to sell the whole line of improvement* from Philadelphia to Pittsburg, for $20,000. A number of other proposiions are about being mado to curtail the expenses of the govern­ment.

The Bank Bill introduced into the House of Rep. resentatives, the other day, is progressing •slowly-Many of its provisions meet with hat little favor. The followingn an abstract of its provisioas:

Sec. I. Froviees for an immediate resumption. 5~Thtr Relief votes to be received by the Stale freastrrar lor tuxes, tolls, Ac. and not to be re-issued. 3. Banks whieh issued notes under the Relief Bill, not to pay specie on them or receive them iu payment of debts; but when $100 is presentedan order is to tie drawn oh the Treasur­er for that amount ot 6 per cent. State stock. 4 Refusal to comply with these provisions to work an absolute forfeiture of charter. The other sections provide for the appointment of trustees, &c. lie , to take .'Large of and wind up the banks, and other matters of no general in­terest. ' '

A proposition has been made in the House to cre­ate a Sub-Treasury lor the sate keeping and dia-bursement of the moneys of the Commonwealth-

The weather has undergone a decided change within the la»t twenty-four hours; and I fear our spring-like days are about leaving us. Thia is a great pity, too, (or ladies will not throng the Capi­tol to much. But then we will have more legisia ting, an a less speaking. Seine of our gray haired Senator* art bachelors, and at times, when the gal­leries are crowded with the lovely and the fair, they will make it convenient to perpetrate a speech, e.v.derttly thinking more of the tioux yeux of the la-dies, than of the aubjeet.

Mr DEAR SIR: —

It is but seldom that anything happens in this quiet town on the seacoa.it worth* writing about; but when anything does turn up.it is bat proper to write and talk about it as much as we can-

Such an event, is the appearance, in this earner oi the world, of Charles Dickens f.»q ; and since the arrival in our ciiy of this amiable and truly accomplished gentleman, he has been welcomed and bored by numberless attentions, from two c!..s' sej of persons— welcomed bv i<m , who honor him in responding (in the elegant manner for which the tide of our metropolis are eel bratrd,) to the uu-m roua letters which he broUJSit from England— and bored by the ethers, a mixture of t .vlvi-ai and vulgarity, whom he patronises by permitting their advances. Thi* latter class ire by far the most numerous; and they go it with a "perfect loose­ness," intruding themselves at seasonable and un­seasonable hours, in their endeavors to catch a glimpse of the mot fashionable and popular author of the day. Bat the most importunate persons are the elderly young matrons id an " hinterestings,ti-vation,"and romantic young ladies who want to be, who are dying to " scrutinize" the elegant nasal protuberance, which ornament* the face of the " handsomest man in Enghuid."

Dinners, halls, parties, soiree, dejennee's, drives, and all that, has b en proffered in profu­sion, and the mauagers of the theatres find 16 their infinite satisfaction tint the " London Lion" draw* better than Etssler or Lardner, tragedy or farce; and poor atiekens finds to his cost that " a temper at mild aa a lamb, and the hactioa of a steam hin-gin*," an impertoat rcqnUite in a " Lion," as well a* a cab horse.

The dinner to eome off at Papanti's Saloon is over, and it ended at all such dinners usually do, in speeches, songs, sentiments, head-aches, and soda water, and " the nice young men," the " Horatio Sparkea*e»," and the »« Percy Noakete*," through whose exertions this compliment was tendered, have slept off the fumes of the champaign, and have returned with red eyes and throbbing heads to their daily avocations, writing balderdash for the magaxiae*, compounding pills an i lotions, retailing sixpenny almanacks, reporting the crudities of the member from Squashborough, and defending in the police eonft the aalawful purrings of some worn oat '* Baaitreste de plai*or."

If you have any desire to see how the prosy oli men, in their galvanic attempts at wit, made fools of themselves, you will rind them reported in the Morning Post, and the Daily Newspaper Press, from whieh fertile school his genius may be said to bean emanation, was not noticed upja this occa­sion. Complimentary; very.

We havf a variety of reminiscences of Colt's trial and Colt's*character, which will be worth bringing out occasionally, in the absence of excruciatingly uuerestina| news from Europe. We give to-rjay, our reporter's notes of the eloquent speech of John C. Morrelw Esq. the couscl who opened the case of Colt for the (lettuce. It is worth reading. We have also critical notea of the speeches of Messrs Whiting, Selden, Smith and Emmet, which we shall publish one of these days.

Mr. MnaaELL.—May it plesse the Court, and yon, gentlemen of the Jury—We have now arrived at that stage of this trial when the most *olemn,the most our reus, and most difficult part of their duty devolves Upon the prisoner's counsel. After hav­ing already consumed so large a portion of your time, and so severely tested your patience while investigating the evidence for the prosecution, it now necessarily becomes my duty more minutely to examine that evidence, and bring forward sucu rebutting testimony as in my opininu must fully and effectually wipe off at once and forever thut loul stain which now aullies th« name and fame of my unfortunate clien*, and brands upon hi* brow the greatest crime denounced by Heaven or punished by man—the murder of a ft How being. You. have arraigned before you a young man just entcnngtii-to life, in |he spring time of his existence, placed hy cirenmatanee beyond hi* control iu the meet Un­fortunate an J pitiable situation that can befall a hu­man being OR this side the grave—with no earta'y friend but one, oa whninhecju call for supporter sucior, one only brother to whom alone he can look for consolation, iu this most trying hour of hia need—deprived by misfortuee of the assistance df a father, wattle, as has already been shown you, gen­tlemen, MR mother and his sisters have descended to " that bourne from whence no traveller returns." And merciful indeed has been that dispensation of Providence whieh summoned them to a better world e'efthey witnessed a scene whieh must hare so sadly embittered the remainder ot their life in thi*. [Hire the prisoner wept bitterly.] Gentle­men, 1 address a Jury of my fellow men; and if you possess bejt the ordinary attributes of human nature your spmpathies must have been excited forthe prisoner during the progress of 'hit trial. 1 know they have been excited, and sure I am you feel an anxious hope that he will be able to show to your­selves, the court and the world at large, that he is not guilty of the crime with which he stands charg­ed. ThatJ your hopes will be realized, gentlemen, appears to me hardly the subject of a doobt. Ere this trial be concluded, we tru,t to show now sa­tisfactorily and conclusively that the prisoner at the barit guiltless of that crime for which he stands arraigned^ before you, if indeed be be gnil y of any crime at all. But, gentlemen, while your sympathies have been not improperly excited tn behalf of the prisoner nt the bar, we must not forge*, that others also connec­ted with Ibis causo have had itrong claims upon your feeling* ; wo mutt not f »rget the heart strick­en widow of the dead—she too hat had her share ot tutteriog during the progress of this melancholy af­fair. We feel, and feel deeply lursituation, anJ 1 be­lie ve that amidst the immense crowd that fn s. this court room, not one individual amongst them feels a more afocere or heartfelt sympathyfor h e n nan John C. Co t, the prisoner at the bar. But while v e sympathise with her, we must not forget to en­quire what does the law, what do the people de­mand and expect l r o"' u* °" 'bis occasion 1 The law demands that the prisoner shall be tritd, and fairly tried on this charge, and the people ask tm>t that law shall be fairly administered, and justly but mercifully executed; that this prisoner shall be impartially tried by a jury of his fellow eiti-zeim,solely upon the evidence which is brought before them But while thi* is demanded hy the reflecting portion of our citizens, we all know that in every community there are men of passion* so strong, and prejudices so violent, as oftentimes to mislead their judgment, and carry away their rea­son captive, and tbat if such feelings and excite­ment weep to have sway, or unduly influence the mind of a jury, the prisoner, though perfectly guilt-le-s, wofjid oftentimes not only be condemned without • trial, but pnaithed without a cause You, gentlemen, are solemnly called upon by your oaths to Iky aside all feeling* forthe prisoner, and all the sympathy you may have had for Mrs. Adams,and especially must you disregard either public clamor, or public prejudice on this solemn occasion ; you must approach its consideration per­fectly free from all pa.«-ion and all prejudice, from whatever source it may emanate. You must ap­proach thi* cause with hearts perfectly pure and unbiassed, determined to do jus ice between the priionerpnd the people, but to temper that justice with mefcy, that mercy which belongs to the law, tus.-paraJp from it and its highest attribute,. H you have cntirtained in your breasts any, even the slightest} prejudice against the prisoner, you must now, if jjpu have not done it before, eradicate those fet-iia;*, and sit in judgment calmly, justly, truly, Sid perfectly free from bias. One of my assoAiates in this cause, who hat told you that he was not learned in the criminal law, has conducted this cause, step by step, with the utmost cure and skill, and bad jou uot, gentlemen,

the minuteness with which the District went over every point and particle oi

on v, you might have been surprised that consume to much of your time andpatence ng out that evidence on thecross-exa-

But we were determ ined, a - became our atest this eate at every poiut ; to watch

le from itt origin through alt its minutest ramification" and bearings upsn the case; for as the learned District Attorney would tell you in his stuntning up,"trifles light asair,'[ when unite I, tell iicw*)rlal y a*aiast the prisoner in such a case, and thi* is the reasunwe havecondufted this cause as we ha^e dene; however much two may have weared you, it would hare been much more painful to us had we neglected to do so. This is a trial that may atlect the life of this prisoner, and every man as f ou all know, will fight to the last gasp for

which his Creator hat given him. At time it it not the desire, it hat not been , it is set the duty of his counsel to dis-

or pervert the truth : but it is their duty, been their aim, to see the law fully ad-

ministeird, and justice duly meted out to ail. Now lef u* well understand what is the charge for w Inch this prisoner is placed upoa trial. It is well that we should look to this point; for after all, gentlenutOi it is you who are to pats finally upon this matter You, at the court will tell you, are to be the ulial judges of the law and the facts in thit case. There were some remarks of hie Honor,Juige Kent, litis morning (and to far as talent, learning, luslice, patience, firrunett, and indeed mercy, are concerned, we feel bound to admit tbat they are possessed in an eminent degree by hit honor,) in relation to which I oi ierwith the court in the de­cision they hare made, though I do so without di«-respect to the learned presiding jndge ; but by that decision we are called upon here to antwer to the charge jsf having shot Samuel Adams! and we are called upon to say why we shall not be eon rat­ed of this charge And yet the indictment upon which eye were arraigned at the opening of this cause, fulled upon us to tay why we should not be convicted of taking the life of Samnel Adams by blows with a hatchet ! Now I can very Well un-d-rstaad the motives of the District Attorney in taking this ground. He found it wa.s impossible for him to substantiate, uadertne evidonce before yon, how the life of Adams could have been taken with a hatchet; and therefore, at a lust resource, he now endeavon to prove that it has been taken with a pistol* Now, gentlemen, let ut first tee what murder it ; for we may as well understand this point accurately. Murder, according to the law of atogland, according to the old common law definition of the crime, it the voluntary killing of a human being with force end arms, under the king't pease, nnd with malice aforethought, «x-pressed or implied. And it was upon this definition of the •rime that the decision of his Honor was bated tint morning. Thi* was the state of things before tike statute was brought in to define the crime of murder within correct limits; and onder ihe old law, in order to prove expretted malice, it was oaiy necessary to prove that a narty had wade a pre vious threat—bad said beforehand that he would do the deceased tome injury. This was expressed malice under the common law. And to prove im­plied malice, it was only necessary to show that a man in a quarrel with another teixed a hatchet or deadly weapon, and iniieted a fatal wound there­with; that wa* considered as implied maliee.mercly from the nsmg of the hatcnet. But here great difficulty end diversity of opinion* arote in. eonae-

See. A Such kiHing. unlets it be manslaughter, or excusable, or juatiSahle homicide, at hereinafter pro­vided, shall be muiser ia the following cases :

1. When perpetrated from a premeditated design to effect the death of the person killed, or of any human being. , ,

a. When perpetrated by any act imminemlv danger out to others, and evincing a deprave mind, regard.«« of human life,blthot igA Without any premeditated design to effect the death of any particular individual.

3. When perpetrated without any design to tn"ect death by a person'etigaged in the commission of aay felor >.

The ground taken by the District Atterney will be that the instrument made use of ia sufficient proof ot the malice aforethought- But under this statute be mutt thow that the instrument was used and the blow given expressly from a desi-n to cause death, or it is uot murder in the eye of the law, at you will perceive frem the following statute, 2d Rev. Stat, part 4, eh. 1, title 2d, art. 1, sect 6, H), 12.

Sec. 0. The killing of a human being without a de­sign to effect death, by the act, procurement or culpable negligence of any other, while sachother is engaged.

1. In the perpetration of any crime or misdemeanor not amounting to felony : or

S. In an attempt to perpetrate any such crime or mis demeanor.

In cases where such killing would be murder nt -the common law, shall be deemed manslaughter in the first degree. , s

Sec. It. The killing of a human being, without a de­sign to elfect death, ia a beat of passions, hut in s cruel snd unusual manner,unless it he committed under inch circumttancet aa to constitute excusable or justifiable homicide, shall be deemed manslaughter ia the second degree

Sec. 12. The killing of another, inthufaeat of passion, without the design t* effect death, by a dengerona wea­pon, in any case except such wherein the killing of ano­ther is herein declared to be justifiable or executable, shall tie deemed manslaughter in the third degree.

Now here we are told express I j that the killing of a human being! being without malice afore­thought ahall be held to be only manslaughter, to constitute the crime of murder ; the District At­torney ,is bound to thow tbat there wat a premedi­tated intention, a premeditated design on the part of John C. Colt to kiil Samuel A.iauia. But has he done thit 1 We say that he has notf And more, we shall thow you beyond the shadow of a doubt, that in thit case there wat no killing whieh would con­stitute murder in the eye of the law ; that there wat not such a killing at would render the prisoner guilty, even of manslaughter ia the ihird degree,and we shall be able to show further, that this was a justifiable or— -excusable homicide, if the evi­dence OH the part of the prosecution it su-fioient -I

dell) which wat ao ably argued and conducted by our associate in the law, Mr. David Graham, (who deserves very great credit for the perseverance, ability and zeal with which he carried that cause forward, till it was tested and deeided by the set­tled and just principles of law,) in that case it was deeided by the Supreme Court of this State that whim a prisoner is tried on an indictment for murder and the express malice Cannot be proved, bis acajnittal matt necessarily follow. New, gen­tlemen, let me ask you, have the prosecu­tion done this! Has a tingle particle of evi­dence been adduced, evincing any pre-medita mi on the part of John C. Colt to bill Samuel Adams 1 It remaina for yon, gentlemen, to examine thi* part of the cance most carefully. It is neither my wish, nor tbat of my associates, to thow before­hand of what nature our evidence will be Cir cumttances exist which forbid this coarse But we shall be fully able to show you, by a train of collateral circumttancet, that there is sufficient to acquit John C. Colt of the crime of murder as laid in the indictment. According to the decition of the Tennessee courts, express malice mutt be proved, or an acquittal result to the prisoner. If a doubt exist in the minds of the jury, ae te whether the crime be wurd er or manslaughter, thi;y must acquit the pri­soner; and if they doubt whether it be manslaugh­ter or exeatable homicide, they are equally boand to acquit him. [Here the learned geulieman read from the case of Mitchell vs. State of Tennessee 8 Yerger's Tennessee Rep., p. 514 ] If there it a doubt, a vacillation ia your minds at to the nature of the offence, yon are bound to give the prisoner the benefit of that doubt, and return a verdict of ac­quittal. Now, howstands this eatet Who caused Adams to visit Colli Did Colt ever invite him at any time to eome there 1 Look through the whole of the testimony, and see if there be a particle of evidence to show any appoint merit between them at any time—there is no thingof the kind * Hat John C Colt ever taid aay thing against Adams 1 aver nttcredan unkind word againtt h m ? Hat it not been the very reverse of this 1 On the contrary i* it not proved that in all their transaction* he was friendly, kind, talking with Adams, and of hit money transactions, with the most perfect cordiality and good feeling • and yet the District Attorney tayt that there has been a mnrder in the language of the statute. Why, gentleman, if John C. Colt intended to kilt Adams, would he have done it there 1 in that room —adjoining the one occupied by Wheeler—a room which Wheeler's scholars frequented all hours of the day—in a building, the doort of which were at all timet open to the whole community—in e pub­lic place like that, to whieh every body had c< t -stant access 1 Could he have contemplated such a thing 1 Why,a man mutt have been frantic, who could for a moment have thought of committing such a deed m inch a place ! But, thank God, we set up no such defence, no plea of insanity in this case. Again, every thing has been said against Colt in the newspapers, that ingenuity and detrac tion could invent or assert It hat even been as-

Incited that he bought a box and salt, that he en­closed the dead body in the box, and covered it with salt,and that he bought the hatchet and the awning, and procured the pail, &c. beforehand, with the ex-prettand premeditated detign of committing mur­der. But we shall be able te show that he had all these tilings in his room from the time be took pos-tessienof it till his arrest He purchased none of them (»i has been charged) for thispurpoae. Why the District Attorney has endeavored to prove otherwise. He brought a witness to prove that he purchased the awning, but failed in tbat; he then tried to show by the milkman tbat Colt made the box, but failed a second time- But it it not the part of the counsel for the opening to dwell upon that which more properly belong! to the summing up. !t is sufficient to state the general facta oa which we rely for the defence. Gentlemen of the Jury, no being taw Adams and Colt together in that room but the Almighty God himself; no perron taw what took place there' between them. Bar, gentlemen, there it snch a thing at an over-ruling Providence producing evidence to provide an acquittal, even ia such a case at this ; and 1 think that we bhall be able to thow yon by collateral testimony that the prisoner was exposed to violence and danger, such as left the trace, of it upon him -, and that fiom hit appearance and conduct, what he d d in that room must have been dose in self defence alone. We shall show yon, from testimony concerning the n.iture of these blows, that the wounds, if inflicted by him on Adams, could have been given but in self* defence We shall thow you thit by collateral evi­dence-by the testimony of the doetort, and by the appearance of the skull- 1 must confess that it struck one with.tnrprite, that a man like Wheeler, who swore be wasn't a coward, ahould actaa he did thit case, that he should believe a murder had been committed, and then merely listen and peep through the key hole and then call in others, talk over the matter and doaething elte; why did'nt Wheeler, if he had the belief he states, throw open those folding doort. when he could hare beheld the whole trantaetion as it occurred; why didn't he do this, whieh he knew he could have done by raiting that bolt and throwing open those doort 1 he injgbt thus have had the whole matter explained on the spot; and would then have tared the prisoner, the court, the jury, and ourselves, an infinite amount of trouble. If he was so greatly alarmed, hi* tes­timony mast be received with the caution and doubt inseparable from testimony give* under t eh cireumtuneet. But, Gentlemen, before I conclude, let me ask you what motive had JohuC Cot for destroying the life of Samuel Adams 1 It could not have bien malice, there ha. been no teatAmoay to show malice, either exprce. or i»pl>ed Nethwg like the least preroe dilation has been shown-What then was the motive—was it avarice'* Where it the evidence that A (am* had any money or any property at all about him None! Tttete in ao «5videneethat he had any thing of the tort — But it may be said, as ia the case of finding stolen g i©ds on a prisoner, thit the finding i f the watch in Colt'*e trunk is proof of the larceny But we shall be able to show you that if Celt had beets in­clined to do to, he could have cheated Adams out of this very watch days before But John C Colt i< ..man who would acorn te do aay act like that There ia one point, aentlemea, in relation to this case, to which I with to call your attention before I tit down; you must s pa rate entirely, in year mind*, the act of killing from the subsequent aC* hi the pristner. N o man cr u'd tell hew he wntild set under similar circumstances. I cannot dwell
