JJurrougns iu yvasnington was concluded a few days since. Burroughs was a man of soino ptanding and intclli genco, and held an honorable position in the Treasury Department at Washington. Mi.s3 Harris, from being so much exasperated at the treachery of Burroughs, upon meeting him in ono of the streets of Wash lngton,shot him. Sho had tho sympathy of tho populace, and manifestations of joy nt her acquittal were great. We give below the Argument of Mr. Vorhees and tho verdict of tho jury. It will bo found interesting : Washington*, July 19. 1805. To-dav, the twelfth and last of the trial of Miss Harris for tho murder of A. J. P.tirroughs, witnessed a larger and more excited crowd in attendanco than any which hu.s preceded. Tho sympathy of .the public, with fow excopt:ons, had in the x'ourso of the trial been arrayed on the side of I ho accused, and an intense interest de Vv'K'j?"I in tlio final result.

At twenty -live minutes past ten o'clock tins wcu^ed entered. accompanied by her j coiiiHf! and lady friends, and took Iter seat ; in front of lite green table amid a buzz of j many which the Marshal endoav? i ored to tostiain.

At halfpist ten o'clock Mr. Voorhces cv?mmonced his ar&ument. Iti (lie course of it l;c gave the following sketch of the IltdTOKY OF TUB ACCUSKD. Seven years ago Mary ' Harris was 'a Lcaulifi11 and intelligent child of twelve ^ears old i:i the city of jPurlington, Iowa. J hoti'ih in moderate cii s-lumn thut ho proposed to fashion her mind iluiinir its lcni<oung mind and heart, lie took her by the hand and taught her that her litu be- | longed to hi:n. She grew up to woman j hood in unquestioning obedience to that j i-lea. It fashioned all her budding hopes.] it was a part ot all her plana when she 'dreamed of tho sunshine and the joy of tho future. It was tho solo wealth of her pure, yoftng.heart, and it was enough, she was content. He was literally all tbu world to her. IIo taught her to regard hi in as her destiny, ller parents, not blindea by that idolatry jvith vvbich she worshipped, !'i>resnw thnf fnillilflncnnoo which fin all}- wrecked and blasted eo many Uvea besides his own. They disapproved of his protracted and assiduous attentions. They strove to sunder the connection aud to dissolve tho spell by which he held her eucbanted. They wished her to marry another. 13ut their efforts were in vain. ' Her being was absorbed .in his; and when the issue came between obudienco to pa . rental authority and obedience to his omnipotent will the result could not be doubt Tui. lie was to her as the oak to the vine ?her support nnd her life. She clung to his fortunes. She gave up all. J Lome 1 1-T- 1- * - - jvhu KiiiurcG were icit behind. She went forth leauin<* on that arm which had eiu'bjaced her when a child. It was thus she came to Chicago to reside with tho witness, Mis3 Devlin, in order to .be near him who .was henceforth to be the guardian and protector ol all her future years. Aud who is here to rise up and condemn net fot this act? You may say that the step 'then taken was the sourco of all her woes and the cauje of her present imperilled condition. If even this were true, shall hI.o bear the blame and bo bowed down under tho world's censure I She loved, ' f \ rwl ,.~.l -1 *? * * ... wrm-* air uer copej, to trttbUraw from* h?r eideaflcj har ?lono.4b the biealc alt h? vows ou which ahe, bjid for years. He couat do more. ! important witnesses out of . llio ivay. He .; then proceeded to the consideration nml i analytic, ns well as a detail of tho eviden1 ccs adduced of Miss Harris'insanity. Her I walk by the cnnal in melpnclfoly contein! nlo?iivu wi suiuiue, n*:r :iii:iCK .011 iMISS jl>?)v- , tin, thq complete rovolution in lior character, the chango in her physical cohdition, all tliis going oil for oho year with tho burning sense of the wrong inflicted on her, her attempts to sue him for breanh of proraiso of marriage, llio lingering lovo \^iich, mingling witli her wratb, refuses to sno bim for damage?, because, "poor fellow. he is poor," and sho only wanted to clear her character, to vindicata her name. The testimony of Dr. Nichols waj thon reviewed by Mr. Voorhees, who insisted slrongh* on tho skill and expcrienco of the learned doctor, in whoso study and practice mental disarrangement had met with a life's study and experiment, nmJ was finally supported by llio tendency of every other physician who testified in tho case, in the flSSGI'tiiin tlrnf. slin pnmmilfrt-'l lit* M"?? ?.v ~ kiiv ucuu till" tier an insano impulse." Mr. Voorhccs then alluded to tho snying of the attorney prosecuting llio case, that "there should be anexmnplc; and that the whole community desired an exnmplo to suppress crimc in this city." But, said Mr.Voorhees, I speak for this community, rot her, when I say that they do not want this g:rl mndo an example, and through their lips and the I jires?, is uieir ine-.iium ol expression, they have indignantly repudiated the idea that they thirst for this girl's blood. Mr. Voorhcc3 next dwelt eloquently upon the character of woman, the protection which j she is enlith'd to at the hands of man, and upon the fact tl*U woman's crime?, ninetynine times out of ono hundred, are but the rebound of man's criminality towards herself, and that she is ever but tho instrument of punJShment which ho-has fashion* cd and create! for tho expiation of his own gum. The e'oquent argument of Mr. Voorhees, to hear which a crowd comparable only to that which filled the court room during the Sicklcs trial had assembled, was listened to with profound attention. Tho crowd outssdo was as great as that inside ; i through every available window rows of faces appeared, and whenever Mr. Voor? bees readied any passionate passage of appeal or entreaty the.murmurs of appro- . bation which the new marshal could not quell within the house were loudly responded to by those otitside.

( Kvery cheer given insido was cchoed by 1 the throng outside. Miss Harris faioLed. J Sho was taken out of tho room by Mr. ' Bradley.
