CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT• (THIS DAY.) TRIAL OF DR. HUNTER. Dr. Robert Hunter surrendered this morning to take his trial for felosiously assaulting Mrs. Merrick. Be was placed in the deck. The coma appeared to ovate very great interest. SOMA Bottom end Mr. Butler Rigby prosecuted ; the /eloper was defended by Soria Ballantine, Mr. Sleigh, sad Mr. Montagu Williams. &treat Robineos, in opening the owe to the jury, said that they were aware that the charge against the prisoner aroma of a most serious character. and he was bound to my that it rested almost entirely on the evidence of the prosenesix, aad It wee for them to say whether they Tad any air room to doubt that She was speaking the truth. primer was not a regularly qualified practitioner, award ing to the law of this country, bat he had for several years advertised the moat successful cures of consumption, and this led Mrs. Merrick, the prosecutrix, so come into eon- • ✓ake with the prisoner. An arrangement was made that MIL Merrick should visit the prisoner, and that he should prescribe for her, and she did so cm sever al occasioo prior to the 14th of September. On that day she went to the prisoner's house about 1 o'clock. end he gave her something to inhale, and she became de. rived of all physical power. He then locked the door, and, as she alleged, committed the Ohara imputed to him. she would inform the= that the effect of what she inhaled was not to deprive her of cionscionsesee, bet of all physical power, and she was unable to cry out. The learned counsel thee proceeded to state the other facts in the same very Wetly, and he said it was a question for them whether a woman on the brink of death, se he should prove she was, was likely to have Bumped ty such a charge against the Oozier. The f aliwing evidence was then addaried Mrs. Anse Merrick, • well dressed ladylike woman, who appeared to be M and weak, and apparently about 30 years o f age, was examined. She said—l am the prosecutrix is this case and the wife of Mr. Samuel Merrick, of No. 52, Upper Baker street. My husband carries on the bud seas of • tobsoooniat at that place. Previously to last September I had been suffering from ooasumption, and I malted the prisoner in that month, and saw him from lime to time till the 14th of October at his house. On the first occasion when I saw him he arid that if I at tended to his directioes he would make me as well as ever I was in my life. His fee was six guineas a Meth ; and the amusement was that I was always to go to his house. Os the 14th of October I went to his house about 11 o'clock in the morning. The servant answered the door and he asked me to step in the maim-room till the doctor was ready t• see me. I had to wait for more thea two hours, aid then I went upstairs to the prisoner, oa the first floor. He was quite 'lose. After I got into the room he asked me how I was, and I told him the pain I felt in my ride was much worse. Ho told me to sit down and gave me an instrument to inhale something from. The instrument was on the table. I continued to inhale about five minutes, sad the prisoner Um& poured somethiog out of a small bottle into the instramest that was oa the table, and very soon afterwards I felt a strange feeling come over me. I was inhaling from the instrument at the moment the prisoner poured the contents of small bottle into it. The feeling I refer to was • stupefying feeling, it was not very much at first, but it increased afterwards. It seemed to render me almost powerless, bat I re tained W coasciouness. The prisoner then said that he would examine the pain in my side, and be put his hand wide: nay clothes, and said that I was :nosh better, and that I should soon be well. I was listen ing to what be said, and was hardly aware what he was doing, and the prisoner suddenly pulled me backwards in the chair, and it was each a position that I felt completely powerless. (The witness then described what took place.) I struggled as much as I could, and the prisoner placed his face over mine and kissed me in the most pas sionate manner, and by this means I was pre vented from screaming. The prisoner then left me, and went to the wash-hand-basin, sad I got up, bat could not get out as the door was looked. The prisoner said he hoped I should Dot think any more of what bad been duns, and I demanded that the door should be opened. The prisoner opened the door, and I left the house and went to • friend, Mrs. Sharland,who lived about a minute sod a hall's walk from the doctor's residence, and remained at her house about tea minutes. When I went out I hailed • cab near Dr. Hunter's residence. I rang the doctor's bell and asked for an embrocation, which was to have been prepared for me, and when I reiived it I rode home in • cab. The moment I got home I made • oom maladies to my mother. After tide I remained at home asd teak to my bed, and remained in it for a fort night, and during that period I was unable to make any communication to my husband. My mother slept with me at night. During this period I was visited by Dr. Willes, OD behalf of the prisoner. I had never seen him before. The assault took place on Saturday, the 14th of October, and Dr. Wilke came on the following Monday. I was also visited by another medical gentleman, aimed Melville. I made the first complaint to my hus band on • Monday, about • fortnight after the occurrence took place. I did not at first make a full disclosure, but I did so two or three days after I first spoke to him upon the subject.

I was to pay six niness for the first month and then five guineas a month afterwards. Dr. Hunter supplied me with medicine. The instrument was placed on a table. Mr. Justice Bytes said be thought it would be es well if the instrument were produced. Beriesat Beneath)e said it had been sent for. Cross-szamination continued-The occurrence took place in the first floor of the house in Upper Sep:amtreet. There were folding doors in the room. The chair was a low one with a high back, and was upon castors, and had no arms. The heating apparatus was supplied from below. There was a sofa a short distance behind the chair, but the prisoner pushed the sofa back before he committed the set I have described. I did not observe that he undid his dress. He was attracting my attention by talking very fut. Although be kissed me I had no idea what he was going to do. He did not kiss me until after the act was eirunience.L I struggled as well as I could, and this was the cause of the chair going back. I was physically incepa. hie of screaming - at least I considered I was so, but per haps if I had tried I might have been able to scream. I was too stupefied 0 think of screamieg. Serjeant Ballantine then put some questions to the pro secutris with regard to her evident.e before the magistrate, and her deposition was then put in and read.

I was in n o very great pain when I wrote it. I had no other reason for not telling Mrs. SINSI&Od what had happened than that a rc. I did not wish to have her mixed up with such a proceed- dry log. I believe that the condition I was in when the assault was committed was canoed by what I bad inhaled. sc. The chair refined to by the witnees and the inhaling st. apparatus were here produoed and identi fi ed by the r t. ' St. witness.

We found that the !,? embrocation did not have the intended effect, and I advised V,` her to write to Dr. Hunter. I put on the embrocstion st. myself. My son was present, bat I put it on. I thought 6t. that the doctor had made a mistake in what he had given St. to her. The prcoroutrix had told me that the doctor had St . insulted her when I advised her to write the letter to him. .. I was sfraid that if I said anything he might send her ;* something that would injure her. 04. Serpent Bellantine—lo other words, did you think that to be would poison her! st.

About en average supply of English wheat on sale here to-day, in but middling condition. For all kiode the de mand was very inactive, at prices about equal to Monday. At the close of basinese a total clearance had not be.n effected. The show of foreign wheat was only moderate. &lintel samples sold slowly at late currencies, but inferior kinds were the tarn lower. Tbere was a fair demand for malting barley, which was scarce, at Monday's qsetstions. Grinding and distilling sorts commanded very little attention, at late rates. Malt was in good supply and sluggish request, at about stationary prices. No quotable change took place in the value of oats. The demand waifs: from active. Beans were quite as deer as on Monday. The supply wan very limited. The sale for peas was steady on former terms. Both English and foreign dour sold at fall prices. The trade, however, was somewhat restricted. Indian corn was rather lower to purchase. The seed trade may be considered steady. Is cakes very little was doing. unditcrit PRICE& Pee Qr.. wain. I. a.

The reduction by the directors of the Bank of England of their minimum rate of discount from 7 per cent., at which it was fixed on Saturday, the 7th ult., to 6, will be explained by even the most cursory glance at the Bank return, which shows an increase of 787,9341. in the coin and bullion, and of 1,356,0991. in the reserve. Since the 7th ult., when the 7 per cent. rate was decided upon, the coin and bullion have increased 1,281,1951., and the reserve 3,425,395/. The fact that yesterday's change is so fully warranted by the state of the Bank's ac counts is eminently calculated to reassure the mercantile community, and to alleviate the feeling of distrust which has lately weighed de where upon busin is ess. With its accustomed promptit it a qulation of relieving trade, tbe Bank f o F rance,rae following the example of our Bank, dnoed its rate of discount from S to 4 per cent., remaining thus still 2 per cent. below the charge here. The movement is chiefly satisfactory in our I interest because it encourages a hope that the fall in the value of money will not turn the exchanges I • against this country.
