KET. 1 SHARE M. MON CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have an nounced that the house will bd closed on Easter Monday ; and although business will be resumed on Saturday, it is believed that the transactions in the respective departments will be of an exceedingly limited character, so many persons having arranged to remain away from town till Tuesday morning. About £40,000 in gold was sent into the Bank of England yesterday, making a total of £331,000 since the last weekly return. The steamer, which left to-day with the West Indian mails, took £9,670 in specie. The final return of capital, viz, 16s. 6d. pet share, of the General Screw Steam Shipping Company will be payable on and after the 21st inst. The directors of the St. John del Rey Mining Company (limited) have received, by telegram from - Lisbon, the following report, dated Morro Velho, March, 1 862:—Produce for February, 41,622 oitavas ; cost for do., £8,667; profit for do., £7,029. Produce, 10 days of March, 12,642 oitavas. Continued activity prevailed in the Liverpool cotton market yesterday, and prices of nearly all 'descriptions were about id. per lb. dearer. The sales amounted to 12,000 bales. The following remarks with regard to the pro gress of business in American securities during the past week are from the circular of Mr. E. F. Sat terthwaite :—" We have had a drooping market in London for American Securities since our last, Illinois shares being particularly affected; they close heavy at a decline on the week of 2 per cent. Erie shafts have declined 1 per cent. Railroad Bonds remain without change of quotations, except Atlantic and Great Western, New York Sedtion, in which a large business has been done at fully improving prices ; they close firm at 69 buyers, showing an advance of 4 per cent." The last week's railway receipts, ascertained np to this day, are in round figures as under: 1862. 1861. Great Western ..£52,115 £55,557 North-Western South- Western Great Northern 24,413 26,492 Lancashire and Yorkshire Bristol and Exeter 5,970 6,643 North Eastern .Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln Eastern Counties Brighton South-Eastern Edinburgh and Glasgow Grand Trunk of Canada Great Western of Canada 11,602 10,450 These returns are again of a very unsatisfactory , character. On the Great Western there is a de 'crease of £3,442; on the North-Western of £3,068; 'on the South_Western of £9OO ; on the Great Northern of £2,079; on the Lancashire and York shire of £5,289 ; on the North-Eastern of £2,809 ; the Eastern Counties of £1,856 ; the Brighton of £2,077 ; and the South Eastern of £2,759. The 'Grand Trunk of Canada show an increase of £759, and the Great Western of Canada of £1,152. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. Two O'CLOCK. At the half-yearly meeting of the Oriental Bank, held to-day, it was resolved to pay a dividend of 5 per cent. for the half-year ending December, 1861, and a bonus of 3 per cent., which is equal to 8 per cent., or £2 per share. It was stated that the past year's business had been less satisfactory than the preceding one, which was attributed to the general bad condition of foreign banking, the harvest, and th e civil war in America. The English Stock Market to-day has remained in a quiet state, and very little variation has taken place, Consols are 931 for money, and 931 94 for the Bth proximo. The New Threes and the Re duced remain at 921 Z ; Bank Stock has advanced to 238 and 240; India ditto is firm at 229 ; and the 5 per Cents, at lon 3.

Caledonian, Great Northerns, Great Westerns, and North Westerns have receded ss. ; South Westerns, North British, and. North Eastern (Berwick), have ittiproved ss. The Foreign lines were at firm rates. Great Luxemburg [improved to 141 ; Sambre and Meuse brought 108 I; and South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian 201 I. The Colonial lines were without alteration.

There is very little inquiry for money, and busi ness in most departments is exceedingly dull, as - usual just before the Easter holidays. The supply of floating capital continues superabundant, and the rates range as low as 21- per cent. 12.10 'HIS DAY. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Sharel Railway& p aid. ' Closin Primg Busineoness d.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKEL Our market to-day was moderately supplied with beasts, and all breeds met a slow inquiry, at Monday's currency, We have to report an inactive demand for sheep—the show of which was rather limited—a', in some instances, a de cline in the quotations of 2d per 81bs. The best Downs, in the wool, realised 5s Bd, out of wool, 4s 10d per 81b. The supply of lambs was goad. Down breeds commanded pre vious rates, but inferior qualities were a slow inquiry. Prices ranged from Os 4d to Ss per 81b. About 500 lambs came to hand from the Isle of Wight. Prime calves were 2d per 81b dearer; otherwise, the veal trade was in a slug gish state. Pigs and milch cows ruled about stationary. Per Slb. to sink the offal. s. d. s. d.

Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., this morning moved the court ac• cordingly. He said the balance of the account in question was for the carriage of some hay and straw, in which the Messrs. Toomer were dealers; and, although the amount sought to be recovered was small, the principle involved was considerable. Mr. Justice Blackburn said he recollected the case, and it was one which created a great a great deal of interest. Mr. Hawkins said that was so, The Messrs. Toomer resided at Twyford, in Berkshire, and the goods were sent on the 14th May, 1861, and amounted to four tons; but as the straw was a very balky material two trucks were em ployed in its conveyance, and the railway claimed to charge according to the number A trucks occupied, which were constructed to carry thre; ,ons each, and not for the actual weight of the material sent, Therefore, although the weight amounted to only four tons, six were charged for by the Company when the account was sent in. Mr. Justice Crompton asked whether the goods did not occupy two trucks in its transmission ? _ _ Mr. Hawkins said it did, but then his clients contended that they ought not to ' e ca' ed upon to pay for more than the actual weight of tL, straw. Mr, Justice Blackb cn said if _ e recollected rightly the defendants had been informed that if they sent straw after a certain date the amount would be charged according to the number of trucks employed. Mr. Hawkins thought that the company were not em powered to send such a special notice to the Messrs. Toomer. His clients never for a moment objected to pay for the actual weight of the straw, but they did object to pay for six tons when only four were sent. The Court granted a rule to show cause. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) THE QUEEN'S HALF-CROWN AGAIN. -MARKS V. HOWES. This was an action to recover one quarter's rent, Mr. Sorrell of Mark-lane, appearing for the defendant. The plaintiff having been sworn, Mr. Sorrell as a preli minary step asked if there was not an agreement. Plaintiff—There is not. will M state r.S so. Sorrell— I am instructed that ther e i s , an d my client Defendant—Yes ;an agreement was drawn up on a piece of note paper, and signed in the presence of a thil d party. Plaintiff was quite certain there was no agreement, but his honour said he thought there was one, He supposed t was the old story. He would find for the defendant giving the plaintiff until the 21st April to produce the agreement, if he thought proper to do so. Verdict for defendant. AN ATTORNEY REFUSING TO BRAVE THE COURT OF CHANCERY. Mr. Whitehurst applied to his honour to postpone some cases for a week, as the defendant had obtained an injunc tion from the Court of Chancery. His Honour was not aware of the extent of the Court of Chancery over this court, but, perhaps, Mr. Whitehuret might not like to brave that august tribunal. Mr. Whitehurst—l am an officer of that court and must abide by its decrees, so I think the cases had better stand over for a week. His Honour—ls it possible that anything can be settled in the Court of Chancery in a week. (Great laughter.) Mr. Whitehurst thought he might settle matters in that time, and the cases were adjourned. POLICE---THIS DAY. man Woman, named named Mac- MARLBOROUGH-STREET, THIS DAY. d o n A a 1 d , DESPERATEw a Bcharged RN with r A . assaulting Jane Macdonald, residing at 5, Regent's-pl ace, Crown street, FA young a young street, Soho, and also her mother, who appeared to be in a bad state of health. The mother said that the prisoner had cohabited with her daughter, and came into her room last night, after 12 o'clock, and asked her daughter for some money, and be cause she refused to give him any he seized her by the hair of the head. Sh© then called out, "Don't kill my poor mother," and the prisoner then dragged her (the mother) out of bed on to the floor and beat her. She screamed ont of the window " Pohce " and " Murder," and three con stables came in. The prisoner also dragged her daughter down the stairs and beat her. On a former occasion, the prisoner had thrown a weight at her (witness's) head, and fractured her rib, and she had charged him at Bow•street ; but fearing that he would murder her if she appeared against him, she did not appear against him, although he was be fore the magistrate two or three times. Jane Macdonald., the daughter, said the prisoner, who was the father of the child she had in her arms, kicked and struck her. The mother said her girl had had to go on the streets to keep the prisoner. The constables engaged in the case said the prisoner be haved in a most violent manner, striking and kicking them on the way to the station. He was remanded. A GENTLEMAN CHARGED WITH A VIOLENT ASSAULT. —Mr. Robert Smith, at present staying at the London Hotel, Albeinarle-street, but residing at Great Yarmouth, was charged with violently assaulting Francis Win. Davis, a waiter, and also with being drunk. On the prisoner being placed at the bar, the charge being that of violently assaulting the waiter by striking him on the head with a stick, so violently indeed that he was com pelled to go to Charing-cross Hospital to have his head dressed, a constable got into the witness-box with a thick walking-stick in his hand, and said the complainant was not present. Mr. Knox asked whether it was simply because he was a little late, or had the parties settled it ? Barnes, the jaoler, said he believed that the affair had been settled. Upon this the prisoner was discharged. THAMES. A HYDROPATHIC THlEF.—Thomas Smith, aged 21, a well-known thief, who has been twice convicted of larceny, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing two shirts and two flannel petticoats, value 18s., the pro perty of Mr. John Gilbert, of No. 7, Cottage-terrace, Stepney-green. Last night the prisoner was met on Stepney-green by a police sergeant, named James Briden, No. 4 K, who knew him to be a thief, and, observing him to look ,very bulky, asked him what he had concealed about him, to which he replied " Nothing," and attempted to run away. The ser • geant collared the prisoner and conveyed him to the station house, where he was searched, and two wet linen shirts and two wet flannel petticoats were found closely twisted round his body. There was a wet chemise in his pocket. The prisoner would give no account as to how he became possessed of the property. The sergeant soon discovered that the sheets and petticoats belonged to Mr. Gilbert. It was "washing day" iii his establishment yesterday, and Mrs. Eliza Gilbert and her laundress hung out the linen to dry in the garden behind the house, and at night missed the articles found on the prisoner. No owner was found for the chemise, which was probably stolen from another garden. - 'the prisoner, in his defence, said he picked up the wet linen on Stepney-green, and faatened the whole round his body, with the intention of conveying the same to the station-house. Mr. Woolrych asked the prisoner if he was under the hydropathic treatment—the cold water cure? No ; growled the prisoner, I picked up them ere things. Mr. Woolrych—To dry them round your body. The Prisoner—No to take 'em to the station-house. Mr. Woolrych—You have adopted the cold water cure, the hydropathic treatment, and placed wet sheets round your body. You were regularly "packed" like a patient of an hydropathic establishment. I convict you of the un lawful possession of the wet linen, and sentence you to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six weeks. A STRANGE CHARACTER.—WiIIiam Hislop, aged 40, who yesterday described himself as an occasional writer for the press, and living on a small income, was brought up on remand, charged with assaulting Mr. Wilke, a gunsmith in m N o e rn w- i s n t g. reet, Stepney, at half - past one o'clock yesterday The prisoner, a somewhat strange-looking man, who said he was the worse for liquor when he committed the assault, seized Mr. Wilks by the throat while he was counting his money, and it was some time before the prisoner would release him. Klicher, a police constable, said he had made inquiries, and ascertained that the prisoner had given his right ad dress, 31, Fashion-street, Spitalfields, and was a respect able man. Mr. Woolrych—Not a highway robber? Klicher—No, sir; he was the worse for the liquor on Tuesday night, and is generally a Well-conducted, peace able man. Mr. Woolrych—You do not believe he intended to com mit a highway robbery ? K licher—No, sir; he is an honest man. Mr. Woolrych said the prisoner's conduct was quite enough to alarm any man. To seize a man who was count ing his monoy by the throat in the middle of the night was very bad. As he had heard a good account of the prisoner from Klicher, he would now liberate him. SHOCKING OCCURRENCE. — The Cork Examiner says :—" We regret to state that a telegram has been re ceived here announcing the circumstance of Miss Ratcliff, daughter of Sir John Ratcliff, having been burned to death at her father's seat in England• The catastrophe was occasioned by her reading in bed, and the candle setting fire to the bed-curtains. The deceased young lady, who is said to have been endowed with great beauty and remarkable accomplishments, was sister of Mrs. David I,,eahy Arthur, of this city." BOROUGH HOP. We continue to have a steady consumptive demand for hops of last year's growth, and prices are well supported. Good and fine old, as well as useful foreign, hops command a fair sale at full currencies, but other kinds are neglected. Mid and East Kents.. 126 s to 168 s per cwt.

THE STATE OF NANKIN.—News from Nankin is up to the 17th February, at which date her Majesty's ship Renard came down to Shanghai with a European prisoner o n board, captured among toe insurrectionists. The im perialists made an attack on the suburbs with their war junks, when they seized some booty, hut had to retire be fore the rebels, who went out against them in great force. A famine exists amongst the wretched inhabitants, which has spread amongst the rebel themselves, so that they are :ictually slaying people and devouring their flesh. A cor respondent states—" Such is the destitution that human flesh is readily devoured, and there is no compunction what ever upon capturing a wayfarer in tying him up to a tree, and slice by slice devouring him." We have this from re liable information, and are certain of its truth, as those who have witnessed the enaction of these scenes detail them to us.—London and China Telegraph.

First in numbers, activity, and certainly in self assertion, are the crabs; not the familiar crustacean of Hungerford market, but relatives of all sizes and every conceivable form. Here are flat, fat, com fortable crabs, well fed, contented with things as :hey are, manifest marine tories, differing utterly in appearance and habits from other truculent revolutionary fellows with ungainly limbs, mali cious eyes, and absolutely blood-thirsty aspect. Then there are spiny crabs, the porcupines of the sea, squinting with horrible persistence; tiny deli cate crabs, smaller than a silver threepence; and, strangest of all, the slender Arachniche, ocean spiders, with legs of threadlike thinness and astound ing length, and eyes set curiously on long foot stalks, pointing, fingerlike. in all directions. Next come fierce Paguri, or soldier-crabs, snugly housed as to their hinder parts in the shells of defunct whelks and trochi, their ruling passion for warfare strong even in the dredge, fighting here beneath our very eyes each for the possession of a neighbour's more desirable habitation. Then there are the star fishes, with long rosy arms twining over every thing, alarmed brittle stars strewing the heap with suicidal fragments, neat Cribellas, charmingly marked Optliocornas, and here and there the beautiful Palmipes. Less conspicuous, but mere ►ovely than either of these two families, come the molluscs and their brilliant representatives, Eolis and Doris of the waving plumes, majestic Aplysia, and the emerald Acteon, accompanied by their testaceous relatives spiry Turritellas, ribbed cowries, murderous whelks, the gem eyed Pecten, " butterfly of the Ben," and the pearly esrshell. As for zoophytes, their name is legion. All the finer specie s of Actinia are represented. .ed Sertularia, Laomedea. and Campanularia crowd the stones, weeds, and pebbles, till every portion of their several surfaces is alive with the beautitul itomies. Dwarf corals and Lepralia3 meet us et every turn, and Low then we may detect, half hidden in the mud, the tube of an Edwardsia, or perhaps even the brilliantly spotted covering of the rare cloak anemone. Then there are the worms, not only Serpula and Sabelle, the pride of all liquarian naturalists, but Phyllodoce,Nais, and the strange rainbow-hued sea-mouse (Aphrodite). Nereides of all forms and dimensions, some bril liantly phosphorescent, others of a comeliness need ing no such enhancement, and last, not least, the rarer Auricomada.— Once a It eek. A CONFEDERATE PRIVATEER IN THE CHINA SEAS.—A rather startling announcement (says a Hong Kong letter of the Ist March) was made a few days ago of the presence of a Confederate privateer in the China seas, She is reported to have been fallen in with by her Majesty's ship Pioneer, on the coast of Borneo, and, if there at all, must evidently have been on the look out for American ships outward bound, being just in their track by the Palawan passage against the north-western mon soon. This rumour, so alarming to American vessels, will, however be speedily pnt to rest one way or other ; but it is particularly unfortunate for them that the Federal Go vernment has not a single war vessel of any description in these waters, except the Saginaw, and she is rotten and useless. THE DEEPEST " DIIG" WELL IN THE WORLD. — A clever lecture by Mr. Henry Catt tells us that the War ren farm well is not an Artesian f having been dug, not bored. Thelscientific facts, he says, leartied from this great work are :—That the upper green sand has no existence in this locality ; that the gault is double its usual thick ness; that Mr. Martin, of Pulborough, is right in saying that gault should be classed with chalk ; and, lastly, that digging is better than boring a w ell. The upper chalk extends 418 feet; the lower, 214; the gray marl, 155; blue marl, 173; firestone, 8; gault, 282; ditto with green sand, 25 ; clay, 5; green sand, 5; ferruginous beneath; from which we may deduct 10 per cent. for the dip. In the strata pierced fossil oysters and ordinary gault fossils were found ; also fossil wood, perforated by the teredo, in some cases having the cavities filled with bisul phate of iron. He believed the water came from Ditchling Commons Mr. Hollis said that the Artesian well at the County Lunatic Asylum at Hayward's Heath was n early 900 ft deep, and its supply derived from the ferruginous strata. The water was very wholesome, an d the supply abundant th a t, a ft er th e y had pumped out 40,000 g allons, it hardly lowered the level one inch. —Sumo; Express, POPERY IN EDINBURGH. —The Cowgate of Edin burgh was the scene of an unwonted spectacle on Sabbath morning, the 6th inst. The large church acquired by the Roman Catholics some time ago at the corner of St. Mary's Wind was vis ited b y tlishop Gillis, who was met at the entrance to the court of the cha p el b y a pro gags, and banners, and oth er i ns i gn i a of wands,cession corfoss"ews,ee b ro k ers " and others , bearing painted the " Holy Guild." o f St. Vincent de Paul and St. Joseph. " His lordship," on alighting f rom his carriage, was greeted with the blare of a brass band, the bells of the c hurch were rung, and the flags which adorned the ex terior of the church flaunted a welcome. The bishop— with some reasow—congratulated the crowded congregation on the progress of the Itomish system in Edinburgh, when such a public demonstration was possible. The proces sionists have, perhaps, kept within the letter of the law by confining their movement for the most part within their own grounds; but IL is time that Proiestant worshippers were inquiring whether they can legally be disturbed by the ringing of bells and the noise of brass bands during the hours of Divine service on Sabbath.—Edinburgh Week. GREAT EXPLOSION OP GAS IN -ROL BORN. Yesterday afternoon a fearful explosion of ga s took place in Holborn, opposite Great Turnstile, the result of which has been to seriously injure se veral workmen employed on the works at the time. For some time past the roadway from Gray's-inn lane towards Oxford -street has been under repair, .and the London Gas Company have availed them ,;:lves of the opportunity of relaying their pipfla. This has been carried on successfully up to the pre sent time without any accident; but it appea ra that yesterday, from some cuse or other, there was an extraordinary escape of gas, and about half-past four an explosion took place, which caused the greatest consternation, not only to the inhabitamts and passers by, but to the men employed upon the works. The explosion was terrific. Part of the main was burst, and the fragments of iron pipe went in every direction, and the most extraordinary part of the affair is that, considering the violence of the shriek, it did so little damage. One piece of pipe, about 71b. in weight, was cast up into the air and fell in Great Turnstile, breeking the pavement by the force of the fall, but fortunately not injuring any person, the place being clear at the time. Another pioce was cast into one of the stories of a house on the south side of the road, but without doing any material damage. The explosion, however, being close to the north side of the road, took effect there with all ita violence. The shop of Messrs. Warr, stationers, at the corner of Featherstone-buildin gs, had the front completely smashed in, while the win dows of the upper stories were broken from the top to the bottom of the house—we do not mean every individual pane, but panes in every window -frame. The house that suffered next was that of Mr. Mul ler, an artist's colourman, residing next door to Messrs. Warr. Many of the panes in his wi n d ows were broken ; and although the large plate glass windows fronting the street that must have re ceived the shock obliquely withstood it effectually, those placed obliquely from the street to the shop door,which must have met the concussion full upon their surface, though smaller, were broken. So much for the damage done to property, but the injury to individuals is much more serious. One poor fellow, named John lVorrissy, residing at 17, Charles-street, Oakley-street, who was at work near the mouth of the pipe which burst, had both of his legs literally shattered below the knees, and escaped from his perilous position by dragging his legs along the ground after him. Another poor fellow, named Edward Rawley, of 28, Francis street, Westminster-road, had part of his jaw blown away, and a compound fracture of the right arm. A third, John Morgan, of 19, Walnut-tree-place, Kennington-road, had a compound fracture of the ankle; and John Dooley, of 40 Gloucester-street, Oakley-street, received a severe shock, but did not complain of any very serious injury. As soon as the explosion took place, police con stable Smart, 148 E, promptly procured assistance, and had the sufferers conveyed to King's College Hospital, where they met with prompt attention. On examining the men it was found that Morrissy's wounds were of so serious a nature that amputation was indispensable, and the operation was ably per formed by Mr. Francis Mason, a surgeon belonging to the hospital. It may be stated that the operation was performed while the patient was under the in fluence of chloroform. The wounds of Itawley were dressed and his fracture set ; and the fracturo of Morgan's ankle was also set by Mr. Henry Smith, surgeon to the hospital, and his opinion was, that as the patient was a young man and apparently of a vigorous constitution, be might be able to avoid amputation," notwithstand ing that it was a very serious compound fracture. As regards Dooley, Mr. Smith considered hie inju ries very slight, and we should not be surprised to find that he would leave the hospital this day. The exact cause of the accident is at present not decided, but it is believed that in the laying of the pipes the gas escaped in great quantities, and reach ing at last the fire which was used for melting the lead for making the joints, it became ignited, and the explosion took place. No doubt an inquiry into the circumstances will be instituted by the authori ties, particularly if death should occur in any of the cases. At present they are all going on favourably. LATEST PARTICULARS. Upon inquiry at the King's College Hospital this afternoon, we were informed that the unfor tunate men who had sustained such serious injuries by the explosion were still alive. LIABILITI OF A HUSBA D FoRT)E732'S OF 1118 WIFE'S PREVIOUS 11118 BAND. A case of some importance was beard on Friday last in the Wolverhampton County Court, before A. M. Skinner, Esq., Q.C. The plaintiffs in the case were Messrs. Parkes, wiredrawers, Willenhall, and the defendant was a lockmaker, named Atkin, re siding at the same place. Mr. Stirk appeared on behalf of the plaintiffs, and. Mr. J. Walker for the defendant. The proceedings were under a wire facias summons to revive a judgment. An original summons was taken out and judgment given upon it in 1858, the defendant's wife being then sued for £l2, as the ewe , - cutrix and de son tort of her late husband, a curry comb maker, named Kershaw. On the hearing of :hat case bot h parties were represen b-dby their attor neys, and judgment for the plaintiffs was signed is the court books in the ordinary manner. The, object of the present proceedings was to make Atkin liable on this judgment—recovered against the wife in 1858, Mr. Walker contended that the judgment being: signed generally in the books of the court must be taken as a judgment against Mrs. Kershaw in her representative character as executrix, and conse quentlyaa lns and not npo prove vd c e o e u b t l o d hnai o st n p l i‘ y be riorps a r. ji judgme n tsK e rsh a wm r . de Walker was bn i o nsa i ia s d t t destitute a to ri could. s condition when she married Atkin, that Atkin never received a farthing benefit from Kershaw's estate, and that shortly after the judgment had teen ob tained in 1858, the landlord entered Kershaw's premises and swept everything away. Mr. Stirk contended that the judgment entered on the books was a judgment against Mrs. Kershaw. as an individual; it was final and conclusive be ' tween the parties, and could not be questioned except in the ordinary way—by an application for a new trial, which it was now too late to make.

THE SHEFFIELD MURDER.—EXPULSION OF THOMPSON FROM THE TRADES UNION.—It will be remem bered that at the last assizes at York a man, named Thompson, was charged with throwing a can filled with explosive substances into a:dwelling-house at Sheffield, in consequence of which a woman was killed. He was acquitted, but before the trial he had made a most extra ordinary statement to the chief constable of Sheffield, in which he confessed that he had been aware of certain violent outrages which have bean committed, and that he had conversed with other members of his (the fender grinders) union with reference to the manner in which such " jobs" could be done, and the price to be paid for them. Since the trial there have been public discussions on the subject of trades unions, at which the working men have assembled in large numbers. A few days ago, a general meeting of the members of Thompson's trade was held, and his conduct was brought under discussion. He made a lengthy explanation of his confession, several points in which tended to fix the guilt upon some of his fellow-work men ; but, after hearing all he had to say, the Union f orma lly resolved to exclude him from its ranks. ma rm. e of in the the ber iity, ( the lava lake 3.1 - V e anal Ltly, the 3e of the ient nci- rec- xert end, the b.ich erty re— rfere• o be oper [ the 0 re )Jace it is rnal the ntly etas silty voux se to onat if to I.ve a hich .the erty . the 'rom )ple. ;, in the Rea 'all- ties, in a, nse- The 0 to ions o i is t in vial was' yes— nan res ited ,ant ER [hi ales the ion, its I in. love t is ;. of to ned Ina the. 2ea ra ish ber in— to , Of 3YI az• ;es Jae , 00. or 1 5 1 2Si 51 5
