Second Day ol Jack Sheppard's Trial. The case of Jack Sheppard, charged with the murder of John Collins his brother-in-law, was called up agaiu yesterday, and the evidence- elicited from the witnesses with but very little quibbling and argument among the counsel. This admitted ol' Ihe case going forward much faster than it would otherwise have done. The first witness called to the jsland was William Condon, who had been examined the previous day, but whose crross-csamiiialion was goiiiL1- on when 1 he court adjourned. Ho was placed upon Hie witness eland, and the examination proceeded with as follows: WiiUain Condon Vivss-examination Collins was killed, I went for ibe doctor and Ihc priest; I went to Caliiomia for the tier, and alierwardsto Thirteenth street ami Market.

It was at night that the dog got loose on the night oi ihe murder; It wa about bedtime: I helped to put him when he- got out; the dog was generally ri.irii.n.. iit li-t loose in the it num. tinw. ti that begot out oi the gale: it was the dog got loose that rvllii ivio clinf lie-direct The cinders thai I uut iu froi't of Col. itia' house are there yet: wnen uie ooggot out he Iiarkcd violently as alter somebody, and ran down liroadwev toward the tree.

I was at home lie night tbut Collms was sbol: lhad been out in the country dining tf-at dav, and returned heme at 7 o'clock I heard the town clock strike as I was entering the gate: I pet up ine noise in uiu tJiaiuc nuu uieu went in my bouse; this took about ten minutes; when I got in the house I washed aud sat down to supper. Shortly afterward I heard my dog, barking- violently, and I got from supper and went out: I saw a man waikini along the fence, and I called in the dogs and sat clown to my supper again. I bad not sat down bm a lew minutes when the dogs barked again, aud I went out and saw the man had gone up along the fence to the corner of the blacksmith shot), where he was standing in an went oacK iu ine uuusc, aiiu iiatt uaruiy sat oowu wneu 1 heard a gun tired, very loud ami very close to my house: my wile said to me, "Goodness alive, why don't you get up and see what has happened." I got up and heard crying over at Collins', and -started lo go over to Collins' house; at the same time a brother-in-law of mine, John Trunk, was at my house; he tried to persuade me not to gc over, but I went, and he then went along with me: I lir--it eaw the man in iiont of my tratc; it is about lorty leet tr )m there lo where I saw him stop at the offset by the blacksmith tiling; the offset is made by the fence going up to the blacksmith shop, a short distance from the corner of the building.

The shou be longs io Mr. Lawier. 1 uave oeen mere eight or nine years, and the blacksmith shop has been there all that time. To tne best of mv knowledge it was about twenty minutes after seven when ihe shot was urcd. it was not eight clock, as my wile came back from Uollins' at eifhr keen clock, and try to keep it right.

I am a utclier, My lence is sitting a little higher lhan the street.

A man mere would be hid lrom the view of a person on Broadway. The blacksmith shop is about twenlv feet front. The offset in the blacksmith shop is, to the bet of my knowledge, a Hi tie below a point opposite Collins' door.

I thought the man I saw was a medium sized man. did net know Jack Sbeppard; I saw him in court before the man I saw I should think wad about nta size; tlie report ol the weapon was a vary luud one; it was a damp evening; when the weapon was nreu struct: my house all over; 1 have seen the lamp in Collins1 house lit: when it is lit, aud the slmileis open, it throws light down the road to my yard; I did not see mv cicckihar. nigUt before Collins was shot; I looked at ihe clock wheu my wifcreturncd from Collins1, aud it was ciock; i went over ro t'oiims anu staid there but a few mintuee: my wife went over, ami only remained there but few minutes. t-ej'v went over'tb L.W,?A "secoud time some of tlie neighbors and Mrs. Collins' sisters were theer; the room was pretty fuP: they were earning Collins at that turn: he was lying iu ihe doorway; I generally gel up at 3 o'clock in the morning; I keep my clcck right as I can.

Cross-examined. I noticed the clock si rike seven when I went the bouse that liiirut 1 counted seven strokes: my brother Philip Briel was at my house, at that time: I put up my horse and went in the bci.se: I washed myself, which took me ajont three minuet; i uau just sat down to the table when thedoga barked, audi got up mid went to the door: I called Ihe dogs back and looker! out a few mtimtes; I did not look long as I was hungry. I sat down and the dogs barked again and I went out again, I was over to Collins" twice that night; the first time was over there I remained perhaps ten or lilieen minutes; when I went over they had Collins1 body just inside the door; 1 htlped to cany Irim in and lay him on the bed: I then went back home, and when my wife came back over it was ten minutes to eight. I lived on the opposite side of Broadway from Mr. Collins, and about fl'ty feet below him; when the lamp was lit in Collins' store ll rnrew a ngni over towaro myyaru.

Ci llius" I lived there when -Mr. Collins was killed; was at home that night; I was sitting at the table iu my room sewing when the shot was lired, aud the children screamed; the shot shook the lamp on my table: I went out and cut over io Collins1, and found some persons lining JUr. I helped lo lilt him and carry hi in in the house and put him on the bed: he was nearly dead then; it was after 7 o'clock then nearly I heaid of a difliculty at Collins" house before this; was on ihe night of the 17ih St. Patrick's day I hear 1 a great deal noise and aoiug on dreadful at Collins' house.

He went on dreadful aud I wanted go down, but my husband would not me; afraid he would knock mc down. I then called out to frighten him. but he still keot pounding on the door and cursing and threatening to kill Mr. Collins I then saw Policeman Rogers comiu: and told In in to take that man away.

He did not hear me, but wuut and took the man lrom the iiouse up to tne corner -oi iiisni.ecmn street, where he him. There was nobody with him the time he was knocking at the door. lie spoke us il he had two men with him. He seemed be trying to make Collins think two men were wilh him. He said "Now, Jim, you stand riirht Ibere, and, Jake, yon stand riL'ht (here and keep your pistols ready; I'm goinir lor him." He was the door at this iinie; one time he went to the fence and called '-ElIeL', Ellen, come out here; I'm uoiiiL' for llrtt man now; I'm-jjoing io kill him." This was between SI and 1(1 o'clock at night, after had closed up my store.

Collins did not come out and talk with that noisy man; Mr. Collins did not come out until the noisy man was taken away; I did uot know who the man was that made theuoise. Kate Shudle, examined- I reside on Twelfth street, between Chestnut and Magazine streets, in this city; I know the accused Jack' Sheppard: he came to my house in March last: a house was vacant next door to me, and he asked me whether the house was lor sale or rent; I told him was lor either, as ihe parties who owned it had a ynod deal of trouble with tenants; he asked me who owned it: I told Mm it belonged to Sir.

Collins, who lived somewhere near Eighteenth stieet; he asked me if it belonged to Mrs. Sheppard: I told him I had heard something about that but I did not know; I then remarked to him that i thought he was very inquisitive iu regard to the hOHse; he said, "Madam, my reason for asking these questions was that I keoD a store between Twelfth street and I said I was as wise then as I was before; he then went out, in about live minutes returned and asked if I could get anybody to go an errand for him; I told him that I "could uot. In asking about the house so closely, I told him I thought iie was Sheppard himself. lie said, "Oh, no; he would nol know the man if he seen He asked me to iro to ollins' for him, and wished me to ascertain who could give a deed aud title for Ihe house, and lie said he would pay me for mv trouble, if I would notbc iusulted. Hu ottered me $2, and ottered to pay me in advance for mv trouble.

He asked me several other questions; I do not remember all he asked, but he tried to ascertain lrom me who I had heard say that the house belonged to Mrs Sheppard. I could not tell him. I said I would go to Collins for him. and I not ready and started, be paying me in advance. left my sister, Mrs.

Snannou, charge of the store when I lelt, and leit Air. Sheppard also there. This was just after dinner time, one day in March. 1 heard of the killing of Mr. Collius.

Sheppard was at my house ou a Thursday weeks before that: I think it was before St. Patrick's day; I was ab-seut lrom my house about an hour; I went down to Collin1: Mr. Collins was sitting in the store; saw there Mr. Collins and another gentleman; I asked Mr. Collins if Mrs.

Collins was in; he said she was; I passed back lhroush the sloie and spoke to Mrs. Collins, telling her that 1 was paid tu ascertain who the bouse belonged, to, what it was valued at, and who could give a deed for it: told ner sne coma give me sucn answers as sue pleased, alter talkiusr awhile I returned and told Sheppard that Mrs. Collins said she would take Suuu casu ior uic uousc, ana give a gooa utie ior it; and told that she said if whoever the gentleman was who wanted to buy, would call and see her, she would give him satisfaction id the matier; be asked nie who I saw there and I 'old him: he asked if. I saw a bic, fat women; I told bim' I bad: he asked me if I saw a tall, siim woman, awd a short, iat woman tuat resembled the big. fat one.

I said I did. I He" said the big fat one wa-: Mrs. Sheppard the slim one was Airs. Condon and Ihe short one Mrs. CcIHds.

I remarked that lie seemed to know them a great deal better than I did, and knew all about them in fact. 11c asked me if "old had said anything about, the house. I told him not. He then turned around and as he went out said, "the son of" a I'll fls tiim before many days." I never saw this party before lhat day. 1 did cot know that he was Sheppard at that time, but I supposed so from his conversation.

r'That is in my' she said, pointing out Sheppard I 'saw him afterwards at the cor ner of Second and Walnut streets.

I uoticcd that Sheppard face was very Mushed at that time. He passeu me on tue street. The nest time that I saw Sheppard was at the examining trial. Cross-ciamlncdl know that. Collins had some trouble with his tenants.

He turned out one tcn-aut who would uot pay his rent, and seized and sold hi? furniture for the rent, I beard that tenant speaking of Collins as a mean man, and cursing and swearing. That man was named Walker, I shut ihe door when he commenced and did not hear whether he made anv threats or not. I remember it was before 10 o'clock the Tuesday of Collins death that I met Sheppard. I saw Mr. Price about o'clock that mornm" on business, and then went along the north side of Market street, between Seventh and Eighth, and spoke a few minutes with a lady friend whom I met.

A PHEN'OilIEKOV. A It I ind Woman Sees a "Picture oi a Coffin and a Corpse.

From the Syracuse Courier, June 19. A Miss Willis, oi' Cayuga, N. aged sixty years, became blind in her lelt eye with a cataract, about four years auo; was soon operated upon by a doctor in KloomlicUl in tine State, the eye being totally lost. About two years the other eye became bliqd lrom a calm-act also, and was operated upou hi Syracuse, the 17th instant," and sight restored. But this is the wonder iu the ease.

About one year ago she began to see an image, ol a beau til ul slipper (ult hough both eyes were blind.) It became more aud more perfect in shape, lo her. In the course ol a month or two it changed from a slipper to a eoflin, such as was used in olde.u times, with the top or cover s'wed io two across the breast, with the top part turned back; this continued to grow more perfect in shape till she could see the hinges and screws. Up to this time there appeared to be uo one it, but soon there appeared a most beautiful person lying iu it. The person did uot appear to be that of a corpse, but on the contrary appeared to be a yountr, fat, and healthy, pleasant countenance, changing now anil then te an older person, aud more lean iu llesh, but at no time as dead or sick. The countenance of the image was so perfect that she could distinctly see Ihe size of hair, the eyes closed, nose perfect in shape, showing the uostrils, mouth, lips, ami chin, the hair dark, and complexion beautiful ami healthy in appearance, and never changing.

The color of the slipper aud coffin was changeable, generally a bright green, changing to a purple, anil never absent, but always to be seeu, tby or night. The writer asked her it it was a source of discomfort to her, aud she said oh. no, it is the greatest comfort 1 have lo watch it. I would not spare it. I have uo fears from it, but am anxious to have it explained.

The writer knew another mans from Saratoga who was blind in both eyes could not see any light, but was generally seeing a beautiful peacock; it was generally blue, but changing to a yellow, aud then lo orange. In this case it would disappear for a iimeand return again, at intervals. Nowrif any one will explain the mystery, the writer aud patients will feel greatly obliged. Letter lrom Gen.

Broicni- Gov. of Tennessee, -asftvilu; Icnncssee: Sir: I have received a communication from a number of citizens of Lee county, Virginia, coniDiaiuimr of the action of bodies of men in Tennessee, who have entered the State of Virginia ana iorciuiy seizea cmzens oi ims State und carried them into Tennessee, and imprisoued them for alleged offenses commit-tep during the late war. Among others are especially mentioned the names of E. E. An derson ot Scott county, and M.

Devason of Lee county, Virginia. I respectlully request that steps maybe taken to prevent the lawless acts complained of, and to restore to liberty, persons who have been unlawfully arrested in Virginia and carried into Tennessee-I have received from you requisitions for tb rendition of several nersons accused of com mitting crimes in Tennessee during the war. Some of the parlies claim that the acts of which they were accused were lawfully acts, of war, committed under recognized military authority, and that the necessary witnesses lor the defense are men who were eDgaced in the sain0, or similar and would consequently liable be to arrest a ndim prison rnent if they were to go into Tennessee as' witnesses. 1 have directed on. investigation to be made ic each of the cases referred to, and will act in accordance with the lacts which may be de veloped.

In cases. where men are indicted ior crimes committed since the war, 1 will cause their arrest and rendition to the civil authorities, ol Tennessee, uoon your requisition. But. when the acts charged were proper acls of war, done under recognized military authori ty it would not be proper for me to send a em- zen from Virginia to Tennessee for trial. hope the views I have expressed will coincide with tho3c entertained by yourself, aud also by General Thomas, to whom I have addressed a letter similar in purport to this, and that we may be able to so cooperate as to secure jus tice una prevent me icpcLiuuu ui uut v.uii;li tend to violence and disorder.

Bit by a Snake. Last week, as a ncgio was ploughing 'a piece of new ground belonging to Air. Skel- lie. he was bit on the foot bv a rattle-snake. Un troing to tue uouse and telling nis tate, a chicken was killed, split open, aud applied to the wound.

"While this was being done a ljottle of whisky was sent for. In a shorty while the chicken turned green, aud the leathers were ready to drop off. It was then taken off, and some red-oak poultices were applied. The negro's foot was much swollen, wheu last seen, but he ia now considered out of danger. The negro's friend went into the Qeld and killed the snake, and.

He arrived in Vera Cruz on the third of June, the people and authorities being overjoyed at his arrival, awaiting with eu th using n.

his lauding on shore. Bouts and launches tunic to the earner, and all the authoii-ties came on board to congratulate the General, inviting him to come ou shore aud take command at the eailiest possible moment, but the General preferred to remain ou board and take a rest, and having been invited by D. Perez Gomez, ihe General commanding, to the eastle S.iu Juan d'Ulloa, he wait wiui him, remaining there unlit the tollowmg uay, and again returned on board the Virginia, while preparations for his reception were being made in Vera Cruz. Alter this the Imperial Commissary, Do mingo Bureau, Ueuerals lahoadj, Uearan and others came ou board to draw up au act declaring him General in chief. This caused great excitement among the besieging forces, commanded by General Benaviibs, who had already come to au understanding about tlie surrender of Vera Cruz, the United States Cousul, Mr.

Sjulnier, having been very in strumental iu bringing this about. It is said that this gentleman give iulormatiou of what was passine to Caniain Rowe, of the United States man of-war Taconv. and that General Santa Anna's presence was destroying all the measures taken for the surrender of the city, the garrison having prououueed in his lavor, and that ah act had been drawn np declaring him general-iu chief. The commander ot Ihe man-of-war. who.

according' to his actious. is also very much iu favor of General lienavides, came with thecommaudertil the English man-of-war Jason, and, under cover of the English ma American nags, uemanneu me licuerai. The particulars are iu the declaration of Mr. Deaken, the Captain of the steamer Vir ginia, and signed by all persous present at the time when the "attack on General Santa Anna's person was committed, while the Vir ginia was anchored the harbor of Vera Cruz, alangside the Mexican man-of-war Tabasco. Ou Sunday, the Ttli of Juue, at o'clock in the afternoon, a launch, belonging tn Ihe English man-of-war.

came alongside of the Virginia, being inmned by thirteen men and two superior olhcers. who came on board. proving to be Captaiu Ainslev Murray, of the Jason, and Captain F. A. Rowe, of the Tacony, the latter acting as spokesman, askiug Captain Den ken for Santa Am) who answered, pointing at Santa Anna, who was seated or the after deck, "there lie is sit ling down.

Capt. Rowe isou for an interpreter, and the purser of Ihe steamer Virginia ottered his semes. Capt. Rowe then invited the GeuerJl to cannon board of his ship, surprising the Geuet-al with such au abrupt beginning of a conveisa-tiou with a person whom he beheld for the first time, and asked lor what reason this invitation was given. The answer was that if he would not go willingly, force would be used.

The General replied that uc did nor recognize any right for such an act, as he was a tree man and not residing within the Captains jurisdiction, and that, besides, lie was ttimr reach to goto his mother country. The conversation then became very animated. when Captain Ainsley advised Captain Rowe to employ harsher words. General Santa Anna had risen from his seal to receive the but uow reseated himself aud ot tered them a seat, wineu was asking for an cxplanulion of litis strange proceeding. Captain Rowe then calmy iuforuud the General that he had uo explanation to give, and that the General should hat this was a peremptory order, aud if not complied with, he would "order the sailors to take him by force, and several of them belonging to the Jason presented themselves in a threatening altitude.

The persons composing the General's suit were astonished at what was passing, and made the t'enonil understand what was passing, who with hi usual dignity and energy protested against tins act of violence in his own country, in a Mexican port, within sight of lis flag, and in presence ol tue Mexican Seeing the altitude of the seamen fiom the Jason, Mjor A'ettir, an Aid-de-camp of the General, went lo him and told him iu low voice: "General, I consider it prudent that you lake my arm and enter the boat, before permitting violent hands to be laid on your person," aud the General weut into the boat, accompanied bv his interpreter, Mr. Holilieb, and his servant, which immediately took them on board of the Tacony. Before leaving the Virginia the Gencial told one of his aids to inform his private Secretary, Mr. Luis Vidal Rivas, then on shore, of all that had taken place. This geutltman, after knowing the lacts, went to seethe Imperial Commissary, Don Dom'ugo Bureau, telling him all that had taken nlacc on board; but Mr.

Bureau replied that any opposition on his part would probably oulv result in huviug the city bombarded by the American and English men-of-war. Mr. Vidal then presented himself to Mr. Saul mer, the uimca biates vice-consul, piotet- ing against the procecuinrrs; put ih-it gentie-uiiui iu funned Imn that tun thing had been done without his knowledge, and that he had just received information thatthc General would be libi rated on the lollowiug day. The people troons ai.

vera cruz were very much in censed at the whole business, the ditferent parties having come to an understanding to recognize Saula Anna as iheir leader and proclaim him us General-iu chief. The Captain ol the Virginia was notilied that he should leave ou the following day and call at Sacri-ficios, where General Santa Auna would be delivered to him. Ihe lauuch pushed oil immediately, und in ibout fitteen miuutes was alongside of the Tacony, and alter gelling ou board Captain Rowe told the General, pointing to his own stateroom, "Here is my own room, which you wilt Und pleasant, and where you can (Ul I il.ll nil lll.l It 11. Through the interpreter, ihe General answered, ''Thank you, Captaiu; but before all I should like lo know why you have taken me in such a violent manner from my residence in the Virginia, and prevented my going ou shore when 1 was getting ready to do so? "Without being ut war with you, you have taken rue prisoner." Captain Rowe answered: "General, you are not a prisoner. I have wished io avoid bloodshed in Veia Cruz, when so much has been spilled in the country." "But by what right," said the General, "do you proceed in such a manner against my person, who inn a Mexican, returning, to his couulry uflcr a long absence.

and with the intention to serve it like and now like a mediator tor the re-establishmeHt of peace?" The Cap tain answered: "It has been said in the city that you are an ecvoy lor another Government "referring to a conversation held by tha General with the Americrn Con sul tne presence oi tne tngnsu cousul "and I think it my duty tolet the contrary be known, as I am in communication with General Benavides." The Generai then said lhat he had not used the word envoy, as the Government at Washington could not employ him, nr could he submit to orders of a Government not his own. "I have understood thaL the United States Consul explained wrongly, with the intention of preventing landing, and 1 thought convenient to Trunquinze mm auu incline nun to u1 neutral, wliieu it concerns him to do. With that intention I told him, substantially, that mine wasa mission of peace altogether, aud that tiie president um not ignore nis trip or his intentions. "Very gowd," said Captain Rowe, "out your presence has prevented tie city from being delivered iuto the bunds of ieuerai atua iuus, uu ia uesicgmg ir, the Imperial Commissary having come to au understanding with him." "And what interest have you," said the General, "whether the citv obeys one or the oilier Mexican, when you have no right to meddle in affairs which only concern the Mexicans? I doubt that your government will approve your conduct, and the assault you committed to-day against my person, compelliug me to remain here a bona fide prisoner." "1 have proceeded as I considered convenient," said Cap'. Rowe, augrily; "I have no lurther ex-plauatiou to give," and he got up trom ihe chair.

"Oh! yes," said Santa Anna, "you arc using force. I have no rifled guns, and ot course I am at your disposition." The Captain walked off, bidding the General good niht, and saying: "There is my own bed to rest in; if yon wish anything, ask for it," and lilting his cap, politely saluted him. General. Santa Aiina passed nearly the whole night sitting ou the chair, and would accept nothing that was offered him. The next day at 10 a.

m. an oflieer told him that he could embark on the Virginia, which was then coming along, and that he could not return to Vera Cruz, although they expected him there, bnt could go" to Havana, or any place in the United States. The General again angrily protested against the violence with which he had been treated, announcing that he would inform the Government at Wash ington, for satisfaction, aud should not omit to pubiisu tue icauaaious proceedings, and, as the Virginia was then alongside, embarked immediately. At ou the following dav the Virginia left her anchorage at Vera Cruz, aud at one o'clock the General was transferred from the Tacony to the Virginia, which was to call at Sisal on uer way trom era c-ruz to Havana to discuarge ireignr, wnere mey arrived on the evening of the 11th, droppiug anchor. Soon after a number of armed launches were seen heading toward the steamer, and an official, who came on board, demanded that General Santa Anna be deitv-crcd to him.

Captain Deaken responded that he would not do so, as General Santa Anna was merely a passenger, besides huviug been placed in his charge by a superior officer, the the Tacuuy, to take him to any place he should desire to go. Captain Gomez, commanding the squadron, sent word that it the General was not delivered he would be un der the necessity of firing into the Virgiuia, getting his guns into positiou, three boats getting near the steamer. Captain Gomez again sent word that if the General would not be delivered within an hour he would commence the bombardment. The purser ol the steamer went to see Captain Gomez, explaining under what circumstances the General was on board, and the consequences of firing: into an American vessel. Captain Gomez replied that he had nothing to do either with Captain Rowe's orders or his government, aud that he would act as he thought best, aud shortly alter a boat with about fifteen soldiers came alongside, aud by main force dragged Geuerul Santa Auna and his Secretary info the boat, not withstanding the retnoustrance and protest of Captain Deaken.

When the Virginia left Sisal, the report was current that General Santa Auna would be shot ou the following day. Iu Havana the news has produced immense excitement among all classes, and the action of the United States is anxiously looktd for, although General Santa Auna may follows: In a cuinmunication which a citizen of Chicago writes to a gentleman or New ork in regard to that kind or pavement, he fays- "The Nicolson pavement humbug is the grandest on the Western people. It is one of those Yankee thimble-rig games that looks very pretty externally. By systematic pu fling and blackmailing it was touted on our ciiy authorities, and to-day it is a rotleu, mass, which our city fathers are tearing tip to replace with Belgian pavement. As the pufling machinery which set it going here has been transferred to your neighborhood, we feel, as did the fox who lost his tail, as though you smart- New Yorkers shoufd keep us company." Who is this scientific citizen of Chicago? What is bis name, occupation, and date of communication? Who is the scientific gentleman of New York to whom he writes "No dodging;" tell us about them.

Airaiu you say, gentleman, who is an expert in these matters, went to Chicago to examine and report upon the Nicolson pavement. He writes as to. lows: I nave examined the Nicolson pavemeut iu Chicago, and ha'-e seen whole streets of it that have been down live or six years at most, and are now used np by travel and roC Who is tins other gentleman, the expert in tuese that went to Chicago lo examine and report upon the Nicolson pavement? Ye want his name, occupation, and date ol report. "No subterfuges," Mr. "Common Sense," "the citizens want facts," the mereasscrtion that this citizen or thatgcntlemar, without, uames, said so and so, will not do.

You say, "This style of pavement has been in use a lew years in thecitv ol Chicago. where, from the scarcity of stoue or gravel, and the abundance and cheapness of wood, it is put down at a very low cost." Now, Mr. Common Sense, you would like the citizens ol Louisville to infer that Nicolson pavement is laid iu Chicasio as a matterofneccssit.v, stone and gravel being very sc rce. and also because it is cheaper there than stone or gravel. "Tue citizens want Jacts." So we will irive them a few, and begin by referring them to the lollowing extract from the Brooklyn Daily Union of February Cth, 1307: "In consequence of the great interest excited by the proposed introduction of Nicolson pavement into this city, aud with the view of ascertaining its worth from actual exneriment.

So as not to take up too much space, we give but one rep to the above hitter; Or'FICE OT THE BoAllD OF PUBLIC WORKS, I. "Za'i.

Samuel Booth, Manor of Brooklyn Dear Sir: The Mayor of this city. J. B. Rice. has requested me to give you ail the information I can in regard to the Nicolson pavement.

In answer to your first inquiry I will say there was no particular reason inducing an experiment in said pavement other than the fact that we were dissatisfied with the stone pavements which have been laid here from lime to time. Iu answer to tlie second query, I will say, altera test ol about ten years, we are so well pleased with the pavement that we put down no other kind. 11" think it- quite aswonomicat an the atone jxivement, and much easier to keeep in repair, easier to keep cleau, less injurious to horses and vehicles, and ai the same time comparatively noiseless. For these reasons I think it will be continued iu use. "Third query: In regard to its durability, we have found by actual test that it will wear, when properly laid, full eight years the, floor remaining sound upon which new blocks may be set, ut considerably less than lirst cost.

'In regaid to your fourth query I will say that, although we have pretty good stone of various none that gives entire satisfaction. The difference iu the cost between stone and wooden pavements is about thirty-three per the wooden pavement costing about that much more than stone. Snould you desire lurikcr information I will at any time be irlad to give il. 'Itespectfully. yours, J.

K. THOMPSON, "Superintendent ot Public Works." How docs these two letters suit yon? We have not dodged the question, but have given you tne name and occupation of the parlies, and the date ol their communications. Does J. K. Thompson, Superintendent of Public Works of Chicago, sav lhat Nicolson pavement was laid there on account of the scarcity ol stoue or because it was cheaper than stone No sir; he says they had pretty good si one of various kinds, but tried the Nieolron even at a cost of thirty-three per cent, greater ttian stone, because they were dissatisfied with i lie stone pavements they had.

Your nameless expert 1 who examined the streets of Chicago says, I hat whole streets that have been dowu but five or six years at most are used up by travel and rot." Does this agree with the letter "from J. K. Thompson, Superintendent ol Works No sir. He says that after a teat of about ten years they are so well pleased with the pavement that ihev put down no other kind, and wl though It cost ihiriytbrce percent, more tnan stone pavement, i they think it quite as economical as the stone pavement; much easier to repair, easier to keep clean. less injurious to horses and vehicles, and at the same time comparatively noiseless.

The amount of Nicolson pavement laid in Chicago Irom lSob to September lSGU was 242,570 square yards, or about eight miles; that surely was enougn io ieet us ineriits. rrom oepionioer louu to March 1SG7, the City Council (on recommendation of the Board ol Public Works) ordered tob laid square yards (more than six miles.) These figures are large, but large as they appear, if "Common Sense" desires it, we will give the name of every street, and the part of the street un which the pavem-ut was laid, together with the number of yards on each street, wltli date of laying ii; and we will also give him the names of the streets ordered to be laid, with the number of yards io each street, "for it is lacts tlie citizens want." The correspondent from Detroit, referred to in "Common Sense's" second article, Is ihe expert referred to in his first article, although he would like his readers to believe it was another person. 'Common Sense" undertakes to prove by his nameless scientific correspondent that, iu a sanitary point of view, the Nicolson is the worsi of all pavements, "thai it is a rotten, stinking, fever-breeding mass." Now, out hi the many high scientific testimonials of the sanitary merits "of this pavement, we select the following: Boston, November 27, 18i6. "Samuel Xicolson, "Dear, Sir: I am familiar with your Patent Wood aud Pitch Pavement, and with moitofthe improvements yon have made on it, and can confidently express an opinion on its adaptation to the cit ies of our Southern States, aud to thoSe of the West India Islands. "It not only does away with muddy streets and makes a clean aud comfortable roadway, but it also obstructs the rising of pestilential emanations lrom decomposing vegetable matter iu the soil, but also chemically, if coal tar is employed in the composition, the phonic acid of coal tar being one of the best known antisceptics, meeting and decomposing any malaria that may come irom below.

'This opiniou, which I originally expressed to you iu my letter of December 5th, 1S5-1, has bceu, as I learn, amply verified by subsequent experience iu Chicago, Toledo, and other of our Western "If so simple a device as a good pavement will reuder healthtul cities which are now anno; ed by pestilential effluvia from the soil, your invention will prove one of the most eflicacious sanitary applications that has yet been made, and I am strongly impressed with the belict that such will prove to be the result in many cities of the South-em States, and in the Westand East Indies. 'I have seen your pavement in the streets of San Francisco, "California, and know that it is highly approved there, and thai an imperious demand for its extension throughout the c.ty existed while 1 was there Iastyear, for all agreed that it was the best pavement in the city. "Itespcc; fully, your obedieut servant, "CHARGES T. JACKSON, M.D., "State Assayer to "the Commonwealth ol chiKjetts." No. 20 State Street, Boston, November US, 1SUU.

'Samuel Nicolson, "Dear Sin I have had abundant opuorlunitics for observing the excellent qualities of your pavement while subjected to constant use, and its special adaptation to situations where the roadbed is naturally moist. "Apart from other features of this invention, and deserving of attention, is tne sanitary influence of the construction. '-In the cement used by you the powerful carbonic acid is found, and the vanors of this substance will neutralize miasmata and de-a stroy ihe germs of mold vegetation, which arc constantly exhaling lrom the surface. We may confidently expect to find the vicinity of t-e pave ment protecieu irom tuose aiscases proaucea oy miasmatic exhalations, and in this view the substitution ol your pavement for other kinds becomes great pu one oenenr.

But how about the cost compared with other pavements? In Chicago we have shown the first cost is thirty-three per cent, greater than stone, bnt in the end is qmtc.as economical, with all the advantages it has over sioue. "Common Sense" says Nicolson pavement put down Louisville costs about forty dollars per square, bowlders tweutv and gravel teu, nna expects nis rtauers Lu infer "therelrom that a bowldered street is only one half aud a gravel street, one lourth the expense ol" Nicolson pavement.

We have given the bow'ders a ten years' there is riot a man that drives over our streets bnt knows lhat they will not stand ten monuis, let hione ten years, and if thoroughly repaired, the cost of repairing two years would be equal lo the first cost, it not more. Then, if io have a good bowldered street it cost twenty dollars per sqhare every two years, ten years- would be equal to one hundred dollars per square, which would be equivalent to sixty dollars per square above the cost of IHicoison, wiiu an me aisaavantaees auenaing a stqne pavement. It is a well known Tact to our city authorities that ihe cost of repairing bowl-d-red streets is greater than the first cost, and although the upper part of Main street has only oeen paveu uoout nine montns, it a niousana dollars a month trying to keep it in order, and yet it was put down as a model job; it requires re- fairni i.u-uiiy, ior as inucu as nas oeen none to it. lere then is bnt a small piece of Main street which will cost the tax payers tithilve tliomand dollars a year for rcuairiugaloue. In the Western the cost ol repairing, if properly done, would be abont seven thousand dollars a mouth, or eighty-four thousand dollars a year.

Arid the two districts together, and we have an annnnl cost for" repairing or nmety-sis thousand dollars. Now suppose wc put down no more bowlders, but keep what we have in repair for ten years. It would cost the tax-pavers the enormous sum of nine hundred and sixty thousand ot verv near one million dollars for repairs alone, bnt with a tuf Nicolson pavement during ne ten years there would be no expense bevond the first cost. As to the gravel pavement we have but little to say bevond what we said iu our article of the 7th. This pavement has only been down since spring, but alter it has had a ten years' trial, as the Nicolson and bowlder pavements have had.

it will then be time enough to compare wear and tear and cost of construction with these pavements. But this we do say, "any pavement that grcatfy creases Vie destruction- of siOe, ftorse, ve hide comfort and convenience is not dark. After I heard the report I fiat there until I heard screaming, and I then went down to Collins and helped carry Collins in. bevcral of the neighbors were there. -Mrs.

I think, if they had. I was about thirty yards from Mrs. Mjers' store; the latter store is about 40 or 50 yards from Collins1. A person or persons might have run tip Bioadwav. and 1 mieiit not have seen them.

Mrs. Condon staled that she saw a man at the blacksmith shop, ami that he advanced out in the street. 1 did not hear her say anything in regard to warning Collins of his danger. She stated that she was holding a lamp or candle while Mr. Collins was putting up the window-shutlers.

He-direct heu she made the sestatemcnts 1 do not remember where Mrs. Condon was or where she made the statements. She was excited at the time 1 heard it.

While waiting for the doctor Mrs. Stanion spoke of Sheppard's illness; said he was badly cramped the evening previous, and pointing to a rag on the chair said they hkd prepared a mustard plaster lor his abdomen; during Ihe half hour I was waitincr there lor the inrival of tbo Tncnr. Sheppard was part oi the time on the bed, aud sometimes on the stool; Perry was also there: did not le'ive the room till the Doctor came- the ladies were waiting on Sheppard, and giviiif bim what they said was medicine prescribed oy the Doctor; when tfe Doctor came I asked if Shep-uard was very sick; he said he had been since the evening before; asked the Doctor if he thought it possible for Sheppard to have gone to Collins1; he answered no; then went to Camr-bell street to make an arrest: returned about threc-uuartcrs ofnn hour afterward: found rioters.

These socks had mud on Hum which remarked: were damp and dirtv near foe with black mud, which remaiked to one ol the officers looked like the mud around the blacksmith shop; Autlu said that fixed his guilt. We went out to ilk among ourselves.

When wo came back the mud was rubbed oil' the sock; Mrs. Stanton said she had done il lo dry the sock; she said they got wet from vomit on the floor; I saw a wtit place ou the floor, hut, no vomit took charge ol" the uoois auu hocus, i no v. ol piace was a small one near the on the south side of the lire olace: I noticed no other place wet. There was lire and a lamp shining in the room; saw no evacu- tion-anil smelt no ouor oi any. Tha dirt on The ock was black and had cinders mixed as came near a blacksmith shop.

Siieppard made no reply to remarks tiat were made about the socks, but Mrs. Stanton, Rogura and Antic and 1 went inlo an auiouimg room, leaving IGrby in the room wilh Sheppard. From this i back room we saw Miss Sheppard go to the bed- side of Shennard and start down stairs. Rogers went down stairs and brought up a oair of boots. (The boots were Here produced.) 1 went to then etation-nousc men witn another prisoner in charge, and returned about 12 o'elock and searched Sheppard's room aud trunk, bed, Found a pistol, which was loaded.

The boots court are now just as they were when lound, onlv the lower parts were damp and soiled. Sheppnrd got mad while I was search- ami toiu ins tiangnter to give that man a candle and let bim take his satisiactiou out. The other oincera and I took our prisoner hl a hack and started to jail; stopped at the Ormsbv House about live minutes and went ou to inil. If Sh. pparr) had any action on bis bowels during the trip I did not know it.

I did not ride inside, but out. with the driver. wanted assistance in arrest ing Sheppard ao that we could cn'ecliiallyseareh the house. 1 found a pistol on the mantle-piece. 1 1 had not been shot off; The first time 1 seen Jack was at a ease in the court-house; Collius pointed him out to me: when went in 1 said, "how are you.

Jack:" he said he was sick; that he had something like cholera -morbus; lie said Dr. Hunley was attending on him; remarked to him that Collins had been killed that miiht, and that he was accused of it; lie said, wait 'till the doctor I did not lee! satisfied of his being sick; I went off to arrest at about ten o'clock; 1 done it to tiirow Sheppard oil' his guard, as Dr. Hunley said lhat ho was very sick the previous evening. I cannot tell what time I arrested Sheppard. Alter roll-call 1 went with Mr.

Perry to Eighteenth 'and Kroadw.iy sireets to Collins' and found Collins there mot John Timmons and he inlormed me that Collins was killed: 1 think it was about o'clock, when I arrested Sheppard, no earlier: 1 saw a rag on a chair iu the house, but I dou't know about a mustard plaster; ihere was. no mustatd plaster ufe3 on the accused, while 1 was present; aw some water on the shelf, and the Doctor said it was lime water: I saw no vomit on the floor, but saw what appeared to be warer, or a wet place, as if it was spilled there. Ani'c examined 1 was ou the corner of Fifteenth aud Madison streets on the night of the murder, where I received information of it; Uii' was betweenS and il o'clock: I went down to Collins' and found Kirby and ltogers there; Ko-ers, Kirby and myself went to Market street, gol on the cars, and went to Sheppard's house; we found that Policeman Slater had been there, and we went in and spoke to Sheppard: we were there some Hit eon minutes; Sheppard wanted the doctor again he said, all hough he had just lelt so they saiti. Kirby dr-'- spoke to him. Mrs.

Stanton, Mrs. Burns, and Sheppard's little dauaMer, about 11 or 12 years old, were in there-, Sheppard was on the bed and wad asking Tor ice. which was given him. We went for the doctor, and when we came back we met Mr. Slater opposite Sheppard's; we all went in and searched ihe house: we picked up a pair of boots under the bed: these were dry; we lound a pair of dark socks near the bed; one oi them was partly wet about half tne length of the foot on the sole; I hauded tuem to Mr.

Slater and said, "That settles it." (The socks were handed to him ana he pronounced them to be the same socks; marks of mud was on the sole of one of them.) Otly one sock was wet, and only the fore part of the sole of that sock was wet: there was black mud, like charcoal dust or dirt, on the sock; think said she pulled tliem socks off him; washed his feet, and put on dry pair of socks. Sheppard was complaining of having the diarrhea. We went ihere about ten. and then was gone about fifteen minutes. Alter we came back I remained there until 1 o'clock.

I handed the sock to Mr. Slater, and he scratched some ot ihe mud upon it. We all then went cut in the hall to consult about taking aim to jail. We were about tcu minutes, and when we returned the mud hid been rubbed oil" the sock. Mr.

Rogcis and me then I went to look ior the I saw him call his daughter to him. She went behind the bed and picked up something, and started out. We went out through the other way and stopped, her on the stairs, telling her that she could' not get down. These stairs went down into the backyard. We went uown tuoso stairs ana louua tne boots itting bv the door at the loot of the stai rs.

We go the boots and went backup stairs; the sole was out of one of the boots, as it is now, (taking the boots and holding them up,) and they were wet and muddy; Stater and Rogers went oft' in a hack, and me and Mr. ferry remained. Mieppam would call for ice occasionally while the other parties were gone; he appeared to be sick, and was complaining at times 1 went back to Sheppard's stable that night; it was about forty or fifty feet back of the stairs; we found a small bay horse ihere. and examined him; the horse was muddy, the mud being abou. half dry; this was about 11 o'clock; lucre wasa good deal or mud on the horses' and belly, a good deal bein splashed up on the belly.

C)vs-examineJl did not go to Sh'ppard's house with the belief on my mind that Sheppard was guilty. I was instructed, arrest nim by the Lieutenant, and 1 intended examine for evidence of hisgnilt. It was between aud 9 o'clock that I heard of tne murder of Collins. When 1 went down to Collins' house I saw ihere Mr. Ivirby, Mr.

Lieut Martz, Mr. Robintou and others; I don't remember all of them. Wncn 1 found the socks ot Sheppard's one ol iheni was llin kmiiI nn r.1i ocho rtilnr IS if of cinilers. Themndonihe boots seemed as if it came irom the commons or a street; the mnd on the boois was lighter than that on the socks, I xamined the stable and saw the horse there. The vard was a little muddv.

The rtoor of Sheppard's -room was not dirty that I remember; it was wet in places as if some u-ntpr liniMvnen sm'lled ihere: I saw Sheppard's daughter go to him, and slopped her; she said she was oins-down into the back yard, but Mr. Rogers wouldn't let'hergo: a cellar doorwasneaf whprri thi boots stood: I dou't know whether the boot had been worn alier the sole had been cut off, but 1 don't think it had: Mr. Price came tome near tha Court-house one day and wc were talkm; about the case; Mr. Price offered to bet $100 or 500 that no cise would be made out against the prisoner: I did nottake the bet: I did not offer to bet at any lime that we would make out a case against the accused. The- court then adjourned until this morning, when the examination of witnesses will be re sumed.

The case will probably occupy two or three days yet. Wc examined the boots aud socks introduced in the evidence of Antle and Slater. The right boot sole is cut off from the toe to the shank, the anncr only remaining. Oi-ie of the socks ismuddv all over the fore part of the sole, as if it had been worn with tuts boot. ana conscauent'v frot muddv by uot being protected from the ground by a boo't sole.

The prosecution introduced them to prove i luai uejjpano. uau uceu uuv iuni uigui.j 1.
