At the close of this address, so unlike anything one is accustomed to hear in a criminal court in this country, the jury retired to consider their verdict, it being then twenty minutes to three o'clock.— Precisely as the clock struck four, an intimation was given that the jury were returning, and in an instant the loud hum of conversation, which had prevailed for upwards of an hour subsided into profound silence. The prisoner reappeared in the dock. The judges entered and resumed their accustomcd places, ou the bench, and the jury, who had been absent for an hour nud twenty minutes, answered to their names as they were called over in the usual way, the prisoner, whose face was flushed with emotion, looking wistfully in the direction of the jury box, as if to discover Ly anticipation some faint omen of his late.

Mr. Clark, the Clerk of Arraigns, addressing the jury, said—Gentlemen, are you agreed upon your verdict?

The Foreman—Wo arc. Mr. Clark—How say you? Is Simon Hornard guilty or not guilty/

The Foreman—Not guilty. -, On the announcement of this decision a sccno occurred unexampled, perhaps, in an English tribunal. From the gallory first, and then in an instant afterwards from the floor of the court, proceeded aloud shout df exultation. Tho cheering was again and again repeated—the excitement was contagious—and many ladies of quality present waved their handkerchiefs iu token of their delight. Vainly did the Lord Chief Justice endonvor by voice and gesture to still the tumult, and as powerless were the scutorian lungs of Mr. llarkor, though exerted to the utmost, to restore silence.— The prisoner, who was extremely excited, flourished his white pocket handkerchief over his head, and sevoral times attempted to apeak. By this time the verdict had rcachcd tho oars of the crowd assembled outside the Old Bailey, and the rapturous cheOr which they raised, and after repeated, could bo distinctly hfcard within the Court

Tho Judges, unable, and perhaps unwilling to check this spontaneous ebullition of popular feeling, but yet- not liking to sanction",it by their presence, rose to depart. Tho look of Lord Campbell at this moment was of itsolf a .study.. SligUtiy ruffled at tho dcBoncc which had been shown to bis authority,: his lordship still retained his good humor, and sccmcd disposed to yield

a momentary homage to the vox populi.It may be reasonably prosumod that he could not havo been indifferent to the result of a trial'in which he had played so conspicuous a^part but whatever his feelings may have been in that rcspcot, it was impo'ssible for a spectator to divine thorn from bis countenance.

Bernard' at length made a successful attempt to bo heard, and, addressings^ju-„ ry, qaifl, v&th much vehemence of manner."

Gentlemen, that verdict is an expression of tho truth. I am not guilty and it proves thaCin ^Jngland there is and always will bo liberW which will crush tyranny, whatever and wherever it may be. All honor to an English jury., (Renewed cheers.).

[From the London Times, April 19.J 13* Immediately at the conclusion of the summing up by the Judge, and before the jury bad retired, the prisoner, with much warmth of tone, vehemence of gesture and rapidity of utterance, exclaimed: dcclarc that the words which have been spoken, or quoted, by the Judge, with reference to the balls, are not correct, and that the bails which were taken by Giorgi to Brussels were not those which were used in Paris. I have brought no evidence here, because I am not accustomed to compromise any person. I declare that I am not a hirer of assassins, and that Rudio, as ho stated on bia trial in Paris, himself asked to be scut to Orsini. I dcclarc that I have not hired assassins, and that of the blood of the victims of the 14th of Jauuary, there was nothing iu my heart more than in that of any cnc here. My only wish is to crush despotism and tyranny everywhere. To effect that I have conspircd, and I will conspire ever, bccausc it is my duty, my sacred duty, and the duty of every lover of liberty, to do so. But, never, never, will I be a murderer.

Mr. Simon—Perhaps, then, my learned friend will allow a verdict of acquittal to be taken upon that charge.

The Attorney General—That being the usual though not the uniform course, I shall consent to the verdict.

The Lord Chief Justice—That is what I should have recommended. The jury wer'o again sworn by the officer of the Court, and M. Bernard looked on with some astonishment. It was, however, explained to him that this was merely a formal matter, and he recovered his self-possession.

The jury having been sworn, the clerk read the indictment, charging the prisoner in the same terms as in tho former case with the murder of Eugene lliguer, who also died iu conscquencc of wounds which he received on the night of the attempt on the life of the Emperor.

Bernard pleaded "Not guilty." \V,.yi The Lord Chief Justice, addressing the jury, said—In this case no evidence is offered on the part of the Crown, and you will find a vcrdict of not guilty.

The jury returned a verdict accordingly. The prisoner was then removed from the bar, tho Judges left the bench, and the audience gradually dispersed. The jury, as they left the Court, cscortcd by the under Sheriffs, and proceeded to their hotel on Ludgate-hill, received ~an enthusiastic ovation from the croicd assembled in the Old Bailey.

The Patric confines itself by laying before its readers the juridical meaning of the verdict, and observes that Lord Palmcrston was right when considering the English legislation as insufficient and imperfect.

It is said that additional police agents are appointed at one of the stations ot the Northern ltailway, near Paris, for greater efficiency iu examining the passports of persons coiniug by that lino to Paris.

can

TIIK ACQUITTAL OF DiS. BVMSWA). The acquittal of the Frenchman, Dr. Bernard, tried in London for conspiring with Budio and J'iorri, is mainly attributed to the effect produced by the speech of his counsel, Mr. Edwin The evidence was certainly very telling against the prisoner. Ilis complicity with Jludio and he other conspirators was very fairly made out. It was shorni that he was aware of what was going on, that he purchased part of the materials used in the composition of the bombs, and that he officiated as the best friend of the conspirators in England. The characeterof the defence maybe judged from the concluding portion of Mr. James' address to the jury:

I have now commented on the facts of this ease, and I ask whether it is one iu which you will stretch the law and-give a

verdict for the firown!—whether the evidence is such as should induce you to cousigu to death the prisoner at the bar 1 I should have thought that when, under the dismal twilight of that morning, Orsini and. Pierri expiated their crimo upon the guillotine at Paris, enough had been done to vindicate the demands of French jutftieev I should have thought when thoy were defeated, upon their conspiracy bill, which they, introduced to please the Emperor, whose haughty commands had gone in a different strain to tlie weaker courts of Sardinia and Switzerland, that the Crown prosecutors would have been satisfied. But, no although the charge of conspiracy is still hanging over the prisoner,- it is sought to find him guilty ou a charge of wiitul murder under an act of Parliament which is not applicable to the case, and which I believe to be, so far as the law is concerned, a mockery and a sham. The great object of the French government is, if possible, to establish through you, gentlemen of the jury, that an exile is not to be 'protected in tJtis country. »..

It has been tho pride of this country to bo, as was said by Cicoro of Rome, "Rcgum popitlorum, nationum, portns ct refugtum." How: true has that been of this country! We havo had exiled kings here, an exiled priesthood, an exiled nobility— we have had the Emperor of the French an exilo hero, plotting against the throne of Louis Phillippe and now his object is to destroy that very asylum which afforded a refuge to himself. Will yon allow*- the^

against the prisoner. I need not remind you that it has been of the greatest advantage to this country that her free shores have been open to exiles from other lands. The requisition of Philip

n.,

of Spain, led

to an insurrection in the Netherlands, and conduced to the, more firm establishment of Protestantism in this country the revocation of the Edict of Nantes drove to our shores the Saurius,- the Bomillys,, and the Labourcheres who have shed a lustre on this country. Will you, .then, at the bidding of a neighboring despot, destroy the asylum which aliens have hitherto enjoyed? No I am satisfied that you will not I implore you at least to pause before you do so, because I believe, conscientiously, that you do not see at present the result that may flow from this proceeding. Geutlemcn, I have done. I have discharged my duty towards the unhappy gentleman at the bar, to the best of. my ability. I have discharged it as an English advocate, I believe, ought to have discharged it— fearlessly and conscientiously.

Lot me urge you to discharge yours also fearlessly, firmly and conscientiously.— You will have the case left in your hands, after an able reply from the Attorney General, by one who-will hold the scales-with an even and impartial hand. I implore j'ou to let the verdict be your own, uninfluenced by the ridiculous fo£t,rs of French armaments or French invasions, such as were raised in Peltier's case. You, gentlemen, will not be intimidated by foreign dictation to consign the accused to the scaffold you will not pervert and wrest the law of England to please a forcigu dictator. No. Tell the prosecutor in this case that the jury box is the sanctuary of English liberty. Tell him that on this spot your predecessors have resisted the arbitrary power of the Crown, backed by the influence of crown serving and time serving judges. Tell him that under every difficulty and danger your predecessors have securcd tho political liberties of the people. Tell him that the verdicts of English juries arc founded on the eternal and immutable principles of justice. Tell him that, panoplied in that armor, no threat-of armament or invasion can awe you. Tell him that, though 000,000 French bayonets glittered before you, though the roar of French cannon thundered in your cars, you will return a verdict which your own breast and consciences will sanctify and approve, careless whether that vcrdict pleases or displeases a foreign despot, or secures or shakes and destroys forever tho throne which a tyrant has built upon the ruins of the liberty of a once free and mighty people. [Distinct clapping of hands and other symptoms of approval were manifested by a portion of the audience at the conclusion of the learned counsel's address, and it was some time before the ordinary aspect of the court was restored.]

TALK OF LOVE—AN OLD WIFE IN SEAIICII OF IIER YOUNG HUSUAND.—About

six months since an elderly lady of property, living in Brooklyn, N. Y., who bought her fashionable wares at a celebrated dry goods house in Broadway, New York, became enamoured of a handsome j'oung man who attended there. After many visits, she decided to invite the young man to her magnificent house in the city of churches. She told him she wanted to s?e him on matters of gravest importance. He blushed, and more out of curiosity than admiration he consented to visit her. The young man was dazzled at the magnificence of the to which he had beon invited, and was entirely loss in conjecturing for what purpose ho had been brought thither.

SIX YEAR'S CAPTIVITY AMONG THE INDIANS-rNARATlVE OF MISS OLIVE O ATM AN.

It may be recollected tliat iri the spring of 1851 a family, by the name of Oatman was attacked by the Apache Indians, while endeavoring to reach California by the old Santa Fcjroute. The family consisted of the father mother and seven children.—Four were murdered outright by the Indians. One of the children, then a lad of fourteen, was left for dead but subsequently recovered, and, after suffering, incredible hardship, made his way in safety to California. Two daughters were carried into captivity, and the younger, died while in the hands of the savages. The other was rescued two years since, joined her brother in California, and they have recently arrived together .in this city. The brother and sister arc, therefore, the sole survivors of a family of nine persons.—— Their story is simple and touching. We had yesterday an interview with them, and derived some interesting particulars of their bereavement and subsequent suffcring. t'r

The girl Olive is near twenty years of age. She is a modest, intelligent young woman, but has evidently suffered greatly from the hardslups she has been compelled to undergo during a captivity of six years. Her chin bears the "chief's mark," a spc-

cics of tattooing, set in fine parallel lines, running downward from the lower lip.—. This savage cmbclishment docs not materially cnhance the personal charm of the lady, but it is an indelible evidence of the scenes she'has undergone.

The brother, Lorenzo D., is about twentyone years of age, and is a fair specimen of a Western-man. The whole family came originally from Illirio'is.r Lorenzo has suffered pains and bruises enou^i to' have killed an ordinary man, bnthas apparc'utly a large stock of vitality remaining. He avers, however, that he would be very unwilling to pass again through the horrible scenes he has witnessed.

The story of the massacre of the Oatman family has been but imperfectly told in former accounts. The narrative of Olive's captivity among the Apaches and Mohaves has-' not been given. It is but rarely that a talc so full of remarkable incident find.'i its way into print from, the lips of the party interested. The history of the family i« briefly as follows:

Mr. Royse Oatman, the father, was a native of Western New York. Soon after he came of age, his parents removed to the town of Laharpe, iu Illinois, and the son afterward joined them. In that place the son was married to Miss Mary Ann Sperry, then a girl of eighteen. The young couple lived for two years on a farm near Laharpe, and, having accumulated some means, removed to a residence in the town, where Mr. Oatman entered into mercantile business. The crash of 1837 destroyed iiis hopes of success in that quarter. The competent fortune lie haa amassed disappeared, and, at the suggestion of friends, lie removed to the Cumberland Yallcy, in Pennsylvania. His love for the free life of the Western prairies, however, drew him back, and in 1840 the family returned to Illinois, settling in a log cabin, not far from the village of Fulton. In 1840 an effort was made to organize a party to emigrate to that portion of Nc» Mcxico lying between the Colorado and Gila. Mr. Oat-

Information w^s brought to the fort by a friendly Indian named Francisco, who was dispatched to the Mohaves with directions to bring the wliite woman, named Olive, to the fort.— A- .great deal -, of address was .nccessary, both on the part of the Indian and Miss Oatman, to reconcile the tribe to the idea of parting with her. She finally, however, reached- the fort in safety, guarded7 by Francisco, where, for the first time for five years, she beheld the -face of civilized whites. Her reception by-the officers was was of the most cordial description and she was not long in sending information'of her: rescue to Los Angolo3, where her brother, who had long beon planning an expedition to go in search of his lost sister, heard the welcome news. After spending some two years in California, w,hcrc.a irrativfe:6f hc-r 'captivity was published,'she returned, in company with her brother, to New York, arriving here by the last stcam-

DLT WEii ON TIIE DESTRUCTION OF

JERUSALEM.

A few weeks ago Sir E. Bulwer Lytton delivered a lcctnrfc in Lincoln, which city he lias for a number of years represented in Parliament, on-tlie early history of Eastern nations. Ho gave an outline of the history of t\iC Babylonian, A ssyrian, Persian, Egyptian,^Jrc'ck and'Jewish nations, and closed with the following powerful dramatic description of the-destruction of Jerusalem by Titus

"Six years after the birth of our Lord, Judca and Samaria became a Konirm province under subordinate governors, the most famous of whom was"Pontius Pilate. Th cso governors became so oppressive that the Jews bTokc out into-rebellion and seventy years after Christ, Jurusalcm was finally besieged by Titus, afterwards Emperor of lionie. No tragedy on the stage has tho same scones of appalling terror as arc to be found in the history of this siege. Tho city itself was rent by factions at'the deadliest war with each other-—.ill the elements of civil hatred had broke loose—the streets were slippery with the blood of citizens—brother slew brother—the granaries were set. on. fire —^famine wasted those whom the sword did not slay. "In the midst of these civil massacres, the ilo

Jerusalem. Then for. a short time the'.rival factions united against the common foe they were..again the gallant countrymen of David and Joshua—they Rallied forth and scattered tho-eagles of Borne. But. this triumph wits brief the ferocity of the illfated Jews soon again wasted itself "on each other. And Titus inarched onr—cncamped his' umid£ close by the walls—and from the heights the Ilonian general gazed witli awe on the strength and splendor "of the city of Jehovah-.-

Let us here pause—and take, ourselves,

a mournful.glance at Jerusalem, as it then was. The'city was: fortified by a triple wall, save on one side, where it was proand impassible ravines.—• the n't cist solid masonry, were guarded by strong towers 'opposite to the loftiest of these towers, Titus had encamped.' From the height of that tower the sentinel might have seen stretched below the whole of that territory of Judea, about to pass from tho countrymen of David. Within these walls was the palace of the kings—its roof of codar, its doors of the rarest marbles, its chambers filled with the costliest tapestries, and vessels of gold and silver. Groves and gardona gleaming with fountains, adorned with statutes of bronze, divided the courts of tho palace itself. But high above all, upon a prooipitous rock, rose the temple, fortified and adorucd by Solomon. This temple was as strong without as a citadel—within more adorned than a palace. On entering, you, beheld porticoes of numberless columns of porphyry, marble and alabaster gates adorned with gold and silver, among which was the wonderful gate called the Beautiful. Further on, through a vast arch, was the sacred portal which admitted into the interior of the temple itself—all sheeted over with gold, and ovcrhuug by a vine tree of gold, the branches of which were as

tocted by deep Th'esD walls, of

len spikes, to prevent tho birds settling there and defiling the holy dome. At a distance, the whole temple looked like a mount of snow, fretted with goldjn pinnacles. But alas! the veil of that temple had been already rent asunder by an inexpiable crime, and the Lord of Hosts did not fight with T.sarel. But the enemy is the wall. All around the from which

In that dreadful day, men still wcro living who mighthave heard the warning voice of Him they crucified—"Verily I say unto you all, these things shall come upon this generation. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets and stonest them that are sent to thee, behold your house is left unto you desolate!"

TUB CONDITIO* Of MEXICO. The condition of Moxico is growing daw ly more and more deplorable, and it is question which tho people and government of the United States ought to begin to consider whether it will not ore long becomo a-solemn duty,, lis the great Btate of tho American coutincnt, to interpose our strong arm to provent the complete doihoralization of the neighboring nation. Our pcoplo sympathized largely in the revolution which after a war of fourteen years' duration resulted in the separation of Mcxico from Spain. Our people gave tho Mexicans their sympathies from the best and purest and most disinterested motives. We ourselves iiad revolted from the mother country, had achieved our independence at thq close of a seven years' contest, and had converted the thirteen feeble colonies into nearly twice that number of great and prosperous commonwealths, whose pcoplo enjoyed the blessings of liborty and wcro .secured in the enjoyment of life and prop-: erty.

What had been done in the United States it was confidently hoped and anticipated might bo done in Moxico, when the priest llidal go first sc^up the standard of revolt, 31 cxico waa afar mpre wealthy aud populous country than were the United when the Uostonians threw tho tea overboard while England, with whom we had to contend, was far move powerful tliart Spain, with whom the Mexicaus were to fight. It was hoped, we say, that Mexico, with her vast mineral and vegetable riches, would soon rise to become a great and powerful and happy nation. liut these anticipations have not been realized. Tho Mexicans, after a trial of a third of a century, have proven thcmsclvos utterly unfit for self-government, and incapable of enjoying the blessing of liberty.. The Mexican revolution was a mistake.— That oountry is worse governed now than when under the Spanish rule. The condition of Cuba, groaning though she is under the Spanish yoke, is iufiuitely better than that of Mexico. But that unfortunate country can never again become an appanage' of the Spanish crown, nor will, or should the United States permit any European power whatever to establish any controlling influence in her affairs.

The United States having been to Hfc.ortain extent responsible for tho Mc£iebn revolution by setting the example and encouragiug tho people to throw off the Spanish yoke, it becomes our duty, as wo said' be or to a so to to unfortunate neighbors from their perilous condition. The accounts which reach us from 3Iexieo arc r'cally distressing. It i» unnecessary to go into details. Zuloaga, the President at the last advices, holds his position by a very feeble tenure. Ono half the States, including Vera Cruz, aro in open rebellion against his goverumcnt. His fall cannot be far distant. His main support arc the clergy, but they cannot long sustain him. Santa Anna is at St. Thomas, anxiously watching for au opportunity to invade the country and again place himself in power. Tho roads aro everywhere infested by bauds of armed robbers whom the authorities are powerless to punish. Almost all kinds of agricultural operations have ceased, for thoae who sow, in the present state of affairs, can scarcely hope to reap. All kinds of manufacturing are at a stand still.

Moxico is not prepared to come into the American Union. Siio may ncvor becoma so. liutitis manifestly proper that our government should take some notice of the condition of affairs there if not, other eountrio. trill. Tho proposition of Gen. Houston to establish a Protectorate over Mexico is worthy of sjrious considoration. An opportunity should be given to the neoplo of Mexico to select their ablest and most upright citizcn to prcaido over the destinies of the action, and measurcs taken to secure him and his lawful advisers in their places. The whole brood :d of vagabond "Generals" which infest and tyranize over -Mcxico should bo extcrminated the robber bands which now levy con- f. tributiocs ou travelers and the haeiendau r,, should be dispersed and tho ring-leader* *5 hanged. .Men of capital and skill should foe invited into the country to establish manufactures, and bc.protectcd after they had got there. A few thousands Yankee j. 'soldiers could do all this, and thus while 'giving the Mexicans present peace and contentment, prepare them to become good

American citizens iu the futurj.—_Xcv Albany Lcdgrr.
