Irish-American August 15, 1857 News in New York City SCATCHARD, who was convicted lately in the Court of General Sessions, before Judge RUSSELL, of conspiring to effect the release of the notorious forger HUNTINGDON, by means of a forged pardon, was ably defended by the Hon. E.J. PORTER, and John M. HARRINGTON, Esq., of this city. The later gentleman made a stirring appeal to the jury in his behalf; and although they brought in a verdict of guilty, yet they recommended the prisoner to mercy, and subsequently signed a petition to the Judge through the means of which sentence was suspended and he was discharged from custody. Such a result is highly creditable to his counsel. Married - MYLOTT-SMITH. On Monday evening, 3rd inst., at the church of St. Francis Xavier, by the Rev. William MAYLAN, Andrew MYLOTT to Margaret Teresa SMITH. Obituaries - With deep regret we have to record the death of Nicholas HUSSEY, Senr., Esq., which melancholy event took place at his residence, No. 21 Oliver Street, on the 6th last, from injuries which he had received a few days previously by being thrown to the ground while stepping from one of the 2nd Avenue railroad cars. In private life, Mr. HUSSEY was much beloved; his many estimable qualities endearing him to all with whom he was brought in contact. In his commercial relations with the well known shipping house of Williams & G?ton, he always maintained the reputation of an upright, straightforward and sagacious man of business. His funeral took place on Sunday last from St. James' Roman Catholic Church, and was attended by a large assemblage of sorrowing friends. His remains were interred in Calvary Cemetery. May he rest in peace. Amen. Died on the 1st inst., of Pulmonary Consumption, Catherine, beloved wife of J.H. RILEY, aged 23 years, 11 months and 7 days. Her remains were interred in Flatbush Cemetery. The subject of this brief notice was in the fullest sense of the word an amiable woman and a good Christian; all those private virtues which shed an enduring lustre around the memory of the departed were her's. Her kind and cheerful disposition, combined with her meekness and exemplary piety, endeared her to all who came within the limited circle of her acquaintances. She knew only a few and desired to know no more, fearing, as she often remarked, that many acquaintances wold lead her into a forgetfulness of her duty to her God. Four years she struggled without a murmur against the ravages of her wasting complaint, and when ensured she was rapidly approaching eternity, the more resigned she became until at length she sank calmly into the eternal sleep for which she so often prayed and yearned, if prepared, during the last days of her illness, leaving a fond husband and two lovely children to mourn their bereavement in a hither-to happy home, where not it a gloom of sadness and sorrow in its most dreary form pervades - tempered only with the certainty that the object of that grief has gone to live with her heavenly Father.
