The Mysterious murder. --Timothy Callahan, charged with the murder of Michael Jones, a Texan soldier, on the 30th of June last, again appeared before the Mayor yesterday, in accordance with the conditions of his bail bond and the prisoner's counsel, M.

luded on Thursday night, in Judge Lyons's Court. The jury rendered a verdict of "guilty of murder in the second degree." and fixed the term of imprisonment in the penitentiary at five years. The prisoner's wife, who sat by his side when the verdict was announced, produced a painful scene in Court by shrieking and exhibiting other manifestations of extreme mental excitement. A motion for a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was contrary to the law and the evidence, was submitted by M. Johnson, Esq., one of the counsel for the defence, which was overruled by the Court yesterday morning, and the prisoner sentenced to five years confinement. To give an opportunity for an appeal to set aside judgment, the execution of the sentence was suspended for a period of forty days. The cases of Charles Smith, indicted for forgery, and Harvey Wash, for counterfeiting have been continued to next term, sundry cases in which they have already been convicted of similar offences being now be

Johnson, Esqs. --Officer Morris testified that he, with other officers, went to the house on Friday night last about 12 o'clock, and ascended the steps as far as the second flight, when they saw a negro run up stairs and fasten the door after him.
