After a short deliberation the jury returned a verdict « f " Not Guilty . " For seyeraL minutes the court -was a scene of uproar that was unparalleled . . Hundreds yelled as though they had gone mad ; Others wept , and a great number leaped into the dock , and embraced the prisoner wildly .

staying with the President . The new Minister of the Constitutional Government of Mexico had been received in Washington by the President . The navigation of the St . Lawrence liad been opened .
A- New York letter says : — " One of the jurymen jprayed long and fervently in a corner of the juryixbpm before voting for an acquittal . Another of Hhe jurymen played the fiddle , and the council for the defence facetiously remarked that no fiddler - would ever convict a man for murder . The applause ft court was vociferous . Sickles was carried on the shoulders of a crowd to his carriage . He goes to the House of a friend ; and the " ladies" of the family instantly rush forward to thank him for protecting female virtue . A costermonger in the street
formally expressed his acknowledgments to him for having " taught him to defend a wife and child whom he loved . " In fact , nothing has been put forward more strongly by the friends of the prisoner and by Ms council , than that the main defence of female virtue lies in the husband ' s weapons . Sickles , Amongst his own set , -will , as I predicted at the outset , be a much greater man than ever . He represents in Congress one of the districts in this city , the ¦ voters in which are moptly of the " rowdy " order ; And ' in their eyes he is unquestionably a very much more valuable man than ever .

Germany. Bearing In Mind How Valuable Yo...
GERMANY . Bearing in mind how valuable your space is at the present time , I shall confine my observations to the state qf public feeling in this country , to enable your readers to form , an idea of the view taken , of present events bv this people , who consider themselves the natural allies of England , and who look to England for support in this crisis of their history . It wall not be snrprisine that Germany , compressed as she is between two powerful and rapacious nations , Russsia , and France both of whom have already torn from her portions of territory , . should turn to England in the hour of trial ; and that she should be somewhat daunted at the apparently selfish , but undoubtedly very prudent and patriotic determination enunciated by the English
Government , tnat Jsngland will this time remain , a watchful spectator of the war , which the Germans firmlv believe to be the re-commencement of the war temporarily terminated in 1815 , and for precisely the same objects , although seemingly directed against Austria alone . They do not believe that the contest will or can be confined to Italy , and they are unanimous in calling upon their rulers to declare war against France at once . Never were a people more unanimous than the Germans at this moment . I say nothing about their Princes Perhaps it is fortunate for the people that their voice is not listened to j for this is certain : if public opinion were as mighty here as it is England , the Germans would be now onl the march to Paris ; or the French to Berlin-The people are by no means m favour of the Government
of Austria , the Northern Germans least of all , but they think that the blow aimed at Austria , if effectual , wdl weaken the German element , at present so supreme in almost every part of Europe . They feel proud that , if not by the aid of Mars , the more securely by that of Venus , the Teutonic thought finds the loudest utterance in the Councils of England , of Russia , of Portugal , Greece , and Belguim— -that the Italian is oppressed : by it , the Frenchman ridiculed by it , the Sclavonian overwhelmed by it ; but more especially it is their pride that the Englishman , has been made to propagate it . —They imagine that if the Germanic Confederation were at once to declare war against France , England would be forced to join against the enemy of Germany . The question put to me frequently is 5 "Do you suppose
the Queen of England would tolerate the occupation ot Hanover or Saxe-Coburef ? Will hot the son of your Queen be one day a member of the Confederation ? " & c ,, & e . They - believe that the French have not forgotten , nor ever will forget , tbe offensive triumph of the Prussians in 1815 . The appellation Prussian does not bear the same value in the French language that the appellation Frenchman does , in German . It is expected therefore that Louis Napoleon will begin with Austria and end with all Germany . The day before yesterday a telegram was published to the effect that the English Government had warned the several sovereigns composing the federal Union against the presumption that England would support Germany in a war against France , or that the German coasts or vessels would be protected by the of this
English naval power . The consequence news was , that we English , who only an hour before were considered very near and dear . relations , declined ma very rapid manner in public estimation ; and at tins moment we are regarded as little better than disguised Frenchmen . Such a sudden chill to burning love was seldom seen . However , since this—but whether owing to it or not , I cannot say—the Prussian journals have been endeavouring to allay the turbulent " patwotiBm ot the Germans generally , and implore the Pnnces of the Confederation not to adopt any resolutions ^ -that . might sow disunion in Germany y by which is meant , that shouio the majority of the Diet vote for a rupture with lwe , Prussia would , in all probability , secede irom the Confederation . It is raosf likely that P * W ^ wl ' n , E nr rt * h « . fttntAn rrmv An . will tro with England for better or
worse , o ; rathe 7 she ViU cfeave to England asjgg can , her sole reliance against France on onesido , Russia on hie other , and revolution ripe all around her . Oldenburg , Mecklenburg , Luxembourg , Hol 8 tem , Lauenftnrg , and the Hanse towns might , perhaps ,. also . hold wito Prussia , for in what way they aro benefited _ bytho Confederation , or by tlie Italian possessions of AuBti'a ^ orDy Austria herself it would be , I fancy , hard to show . The Prussian iourntils pofnt out-what eW ° uy knows — the dangers and losses to ^ liteft »« J States are exposeo ? in case of n w with Jianog The countries of the Ems , tlio Weior , and tne lower Elbe , as far as the Elder and thoM « jgJ « a oi Brnndenbnrff , are entirely open to an enemy Horn Wie sea .
