MONEY MARKET AND COSIIVIERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market continues to present a very quiet appearance, and although very few bills have been offered for negotiation, brokers have been un willing to negotiate business under the Bank mini mum of 6 per cent. This firmness is owing to the scarcity of floating capital at, the command of bankers. The return from the Bank of France is very favourable. The bullion has been increased £540,000, While a reduction has been made of £700,000 in the bills discounted, of £50,000 in the advances on stock, of £152,000 in the notes in circulation, and of £385,000 in the current accounts. It will be seen by the subjoined analysis that the position of the Bank of England has been much strengthened during the past week : Active Circulation. ••• ..• ...X20,583,960 Decrease 568,165 * Z . 14,464,032 Increase 787,934 Rest 3 , 210,548 Increase ••• ..• •.• 12,763 Public,Deposits 6,144,063 Increase ... 453,915 Other Deposits ... 12,878,983 Increase _ 603,967 Seven Day and Other Bills ... 490,143 Decrease ••• ••• ..• ••• 18,863 Government Securities ... 9,741,100 No alteration.

The English Stock Market opened with a very buoyant aspect, and a rise of f per cent. has been recorded in the price of Consols, which are now 89f for money, and 88f I, less the dividend, for the account. The easier state of the Money Market, both here and on the continent, and the satisfactory returns from the Banks of England and France, are causing a most confident feeling, and inducing an expansion of trade. A corresponding rise has taken place in the New Threes and Reduced Annuities ; Exchequer Bills show little alteration, and India Stock is firm at 219. Bargains are recorded in Bank Stock at 248 250.

DIVORCE COURT. (Before Sir J. P. Wilde and a Special Jury.) BRAIDWOOD V. BRAIDWOOD AND DUKE OF ST. ALBANS Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., Dr. Spinks, and another learned gentleman, were counsel for the petitioner, and the defendants were represented by the Queen's Advocate, Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., and other learned gentlemen. This was the petition of Mr. Charles Hamilton Broadwood for a dissolution of marriage on the ground of his wife's adultery with the co-respondent, the Duke of St. Albans. Both defendants appeared and denied the adultery, recriminated the charge, and further pleaded cruelty. From the opening statement of the learned coun sel it appeared that the petitioner was the son of a gentleman of fortune, some time deceased, and that he married the respondent, whose maiden name was Shaw, at St. Luke's Church, Chelsea, in February, 1854. They lived happily together until May, 1863, at St. John's-wood, and then they went abroad. In the year last mentioned the re spondent suggested that the petitioner should dis pose of his furniture and go into furnished lodgings. Accordingly he disposed of his furniture for £7OO. Shortly afterwards his father died, and he became possessed of property to the amount of between £3,000 and £4,000. They then went to Cavendish row, Grosvenor-square, to live, and afterwards removed to different hotels, living in a sort of con tinental style. In the April of 1863 they were living at the Grosvenor Hotel, and then the respon dent expressed a desire that they should separate for some time, which the petitioner, who was in fatuated with his wife, assented to. Ultimately the petitioner went abroad by the request of his wife, and during his absence the alleged criminal intercourse between the respondent and the Duke of St. Albans took place. The further facts are developed in the follow ing evidence : The marriage of the petitioner with the respon dent having been proved formally, Mary Jarvis said her name was Adams. She had been housemaid and lady's maid at 24, Caven dish-row, St. John's-wood, in August, 1862. They were then living together. In October, 1862, they went to Brighton, to the Royal Hotel. They resided at different places up to August, 1863. Then they were at the Grosvenor Hotel, Pimlico. While there Mr. Broadwood went to Mrs. Broad wood and said, " Lou, I thought you would go with me to Brighton," and she re plied, " Yes, but I am too tired. I thought you would sign this agreement." He aked what it was for, and she said it was an agree ment for a house. He asked her where it was, and she said it did not matter. He refused to sign it, and then she said it was in London. He said he would not live in London. She said if he would not Mr. Taylor would let her have it on her own account. He then asked her how long it was for, and she said three months. He then:ilew in a passion, and signed the agreement without looking at it. At the rising of the Court, the case was not con cluded. POLICE INTEL LIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY WITII VIOLENCE.—Thomas Giddings, a rough looking lad, describing himself as a whitesmith, was charged before Mr. Yardley with stealing, at No. 28, George-street, Grosvenor-square, a till containing money, belonging to Mr. Thomas Jinscott, baker; and he was further charged with violently assaulting Mrs. Matilda Hexamer, who manages the business for Mr. Jinscott, who has another shop in Oxfo rd-street. Mrs. Hoxamer said that on the previous evening, about six o'clock, having just served a customer, she was return ing to the parlour, when, thinking she heard a noise, she returned to the shop, and saw the prisoner behind the counter at the till. The prisoner jumped over the counter, when she followed him and held him, and he then struck her several times. She continued to hold the prisoner, and called for assistance. The prisoner then gave her a violent blow, which knocked her down and nearly stunned her. A gentleman then came up and secured the prisoner. In answer to Mr. Yardley, the witness stated that there were about 12s. in the till at the time. Mr. Benjamin Hatchman, of No. 9, George-street, Grosvenor-square, said that, hearing cries of "Murder," he ran out of his shop, and found the witness Hexamer lying in the road and the prisoner making his escape. He went after the prisoner, who threw some money on the ground, and brought him back, and he was given into custody. William James, 71 C, proved taking the prisoner into custody, and that a boy picked up some of the money. The prisoner gave an address in Barrett's-court, but it was not a correct one. On the way to the station he said he had taken 55., but had thrown it away. Inspector Harrison said the prisoner was ono of a gang of young thieves who infested the neighbourhood, and a lady was present who saw the prisoner in company of another boy who had attempted a similar robbery a few nights previously in the same neighbourhood. The prisoner said ho was guilty, and wished the case settled by the magistrate. Mr. Yardley committed the prisoner for six months, Nrith hard labour. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of hothe grown wheat were very moderate, and the condition of the bulk of the produce was very middling. Dry samples sold steadily at the prices of Monday. Otherwise, the trade was dull, at that day's currency. There was a fair supply of foreign wheat on the stands. For all descriptions the trade was in a sluggish state, at about previous rates. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, at late prices. The supply of barley on sale was moderate. Good and fine malting produce sold at full prices, but inferior barley was a dull inquiry, on former terms. Malt was in slow request, at late rates. Oats were in fair supply. For most descriptions there was a fair demand, and prices ruled firm. Beans and peas were in fair request, at full currencies. Most descriptions of flour sold slowly, at late rates.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COUR r—This Day. r~__~ OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Byles.) THE CHARGE AGAINST DR. HUNTER. Robert Hunter, described as a doctor of medi cine, was placed in the dock charged with feloni ously assaulting Anne Merrick against her will, and carnally knowing her, on the 14th of O c t o b er , a t his residence in Upper Seymour-street, Marylebone. The prisoner, who is a fine, tall, handsome per son,_pleaded not guilty. _ _ _ M. Sergeant Robinson and Mr. Butler Rigby prosecuted. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, Mr. Sleigh, and Mr. Montagu Williams. Mr. Sergeant Robinson, in his opening, said the case rested mainly on the evidence of Mrs. Merrick herself. Dr. Hunter was not regularly qualified according to the English law, and was not regis tered, but he had obtained a qualification in New York. He had been in the habit of advertising miraculous cures of consumption, and it was this circumstance that induced Mrs. Merrick to consult him. Mrs. Merrick was in the last stage of con sumption and on the point of death, and therefore she could have no object in:injuring such a person as Dr. Hunter. Mrs. Merrick—l am the wife of Mr. Samuel Merrick, of 52, Upper Baker-street. My husband is a tobacconist, carrying on business there. Pre vious to September I had been suffering from con sumption, and in that month I consulted Dr. Hun ter. I saw him from time to time until the 14th of October at his house. When I first saw him he examined me, and I asked him if he could cure me, and he replied he could. He told me his fee was five guineas a month, and I told him I would see if I could afford to pay him such a high fee. On the following morning my husband took the five guineas, and after that I used to go to his residence, and con tinued to do so until the 14th October. On that day I went to his house, about 11 o'clock. lam quite positive that was _ the date, and I can swear it was. I went into the waiting-room, in which there were other patients. I waited there more than an hour, and then I saw the prisoner in his room on the first floor. He was quite alone. He asked me how I was. I told him the pain in my side was worse. He told me to sit down and inhale some thing from an instrument on the table. I did this for about five minutes, when he took a small bottle off the table and poured something into the instru ment, and in a few minutes after I had inhaled from the instrument again I became conscious of a pecu liar sensation. Justice Byles—At the time it was poured in was you inhaling from it ? Witness—Yes. Examination continued—l felt a stupifying feeling coming over me. It seemed to render me powerless in feeling, but I retained my consciousness. Prisoner then said he would examine my side, and he put his right hand underneath my garments to do so. He told me I was much better, and continued talk ing. While so doing I did not notice what he was doing. All at once he pulled me back in the chair, and in that position I was quite helpless, and then the offence was committed. I afterwards struggled as much as I could to get from him. He put his head over my face and then began passionately to kiss me, so that my mouth was completely stopped up. When I got up the chair then flew back. He then went up to another part of the room and washed his hands. He afterwards came to me and asked me not to say anything of what had passed, but I demanded the door to be opened. The prisoner then unfastened the door and I went direct down stairs and left the house. I stood outside for a short time to see if I could get a cab, but, not succeeding, I went to a friend of mine to rest, in fact to tell her what had occurred. It was Mrs. Sharland's. Her residence was about a minute and a half's walk from Dr. Hunter's. I stopped there about ten'minutes, and then seeing a cab in the distance I hailed it, but previous to entering it I ran to Dr. Hunter's in order to get an embrocation he had ordered. I then entered the cab and was driven home. I saw my mother on my return and I made a com plaint to her. I remained at home after that and took to my bed, in which I remained for a fortnight. I was unable to make any com plaint to my husband. While I was ill in bed my mother and a nurse attended on me. My mother slept with me at night. I never had any connection with the prisoner after that, but my mother went to Dr. Hunter's for a doctor to be sent, and Dr. Willis came to me on the Monday. The assault took place the previous Saturday. Dr. Willis attended me three times, and after that Dr. Melville, one of the doctors from the prisoner's, at tended me. On the Monday fortnight after the assault happened I made a complaint to my husband of what had taken place ; but on the 7th of Novem ber I made a full statement of the circumstances to my husband. It was on a Thursday morning. Cross-examined by Sergeant Ballantine—l had inhaled from the instrument on several former oc casions. The process adopted rendered it necessary that I should inhale at home. Dr. Hunter gave me an instrument to use, but it was quite different from that I used at his residence. By Sergeant Ballantine--I have sent for the in strument, and it will be in court in a short time. Mr. Justice Byles—lt is desirable that it should be produced. Sergeant Ballantine—l will proceed with another part of the case, and refer to this when the instru ment arrives. Cross-examination continued--I was in the drawing-room when the occurrence took place. The prisoner moved some of the articles of furniture in the room to enable him to examine my side. I did not notice what he was doing when he was talking to me. He did not kiss me until after the assault. There was nothing done that could induce me to imagine that he was about to commit an assault on me. I struggled as much as I could. Sergeant Ballantine—Were you incapable of screaming ? Witness—l didn't think of it. I was too stupe fied. Sergeant Ballantine—Could you have done it? Witness—lf I had tried I have no doubt I could, but I did not think of it ; my only object was to get away. Cross-examination continued—The house I called at after I left Dr. Hunter's was at the corner of Quebec-street. _ The deposition of the witness was here put in and read. On that occasion the witness said—" I did not scream because I did not wish to make a scene in the house." Cross-examined--I never said I ran out of the house. Mrs. Sharland's is a publichouse. She keeps it. I did not tell her what occurred. Mrs. Sharland is not here. I saw the barmaid before I saw Mrs. Sharland. She is in attendance. The reason I did not mention the name of Mrs. Sharland was because I did not wish to involve other persons in the disgraceful outrage. I did not take anything in Mrs. Sharland's house. The reason I went back Dr. Hunter's was for the embrocation to make a blister, as it was the first time he had ordered such a thing. I wrote to Dr. Hunter after the occur rence, and after I had told my mother. The letter was here put in and read. It com menced " Dear Sir." It complained that the em brocation had not had the effect of raising a blister, and that she was in such dreadful pain or she would not have troubled him again. It concluded "Yours obediently." Cross-axamined—l told my mother immediately 1 got home about the assault, and, as the embroca tion did not act as described, I wrote informing the doctor about it. Serjeant Ballantine—Who applied the embroca tion to your side ? Witness—My brother. Serjeant Ballantine—Your brother ! Witness—Yes. He is engaged in an infirmary as superintendent. Serjeant Ballantine—Did you write that letter in bed ? _ . . _ -- Witness—Yes ; I wrote it in bed at my broth er ' s mother advised me not to men ti on suggestion. My anything that had happened, because then it would have to be made known to my husband. My mo ther thought that if I referred to the matter, the doctor might send me something that might injure me, and that as 1 had paid for medical advice for the month I might as well have it. Sergeant Baliantine—Your husband kept a little tobacconist's shop in Baker -street ? Witness—Yes. Sergeant Ballantine--And you served in the shop? Witness--Yes. Evidence continued--My husband has been a bankrupt within the last 12 months. I have rela tions in the country of the name of Goddard. My brother goes by the name of Goddard. I never knew that he went by the name of Dr. Goddard Jones. For nine months he had been in the police force as a constable. My brother has resided at Brentford. I have visited him there. I know a Dr. Pryor. The letter now placed in my hands is writ ten by my brother. I did not know of its existence. Re-examined by Sergeant Robinson— I am 26 years of age. I lived in Conduit-street, in the upper part of Mr. Sandiland's home. I paid £l9O a-year for the apartments. I used it as a boarding-house. She lived there three years. It was on account of my husband's bankruptcy that I left. Persons of rank and title lodged with me. Mr. Justice Byles—l do not think this is relevant to the case, but you can proceed. Sergeant Robinson—l only wish to show that persons of undoubted respectability and position resided in the witness's house. However, I will go to another part of the case. Re-examination continued—The only reason I had far not mentioning Mrs. Sharland's name is that which I have stated. I firmly believe the state of stupor produced on me was caused by something that was administered to me. I never inhaled a vapour, but I had never had anything like it before. The chair and the inhaling instrument were here brought into court. The chair was of the usual pattern made for drawing room suite, called ladies' reclining chairs. Mrs. James—l am the mother of Mrs. Merrick. I keep a boarding-house, No. 51, New Bond-street. When my daughter returned from Dr. Hunter's she was crying, and appeared excited. She made a communication to me, and afterwards she went up stairs, and in about an hour she took to her bed. On Sunday she was very much worse, and I went to Dr. Hunter's. I saw the servant maid. I went again on Monday, and on that day I saw the hall porter. I waited for an hour and a half before I saw him. I asked him that a visiting doctor might attend my daughter. Dr. Wills came up and Dr. Hunter told him to attend Mrs. Merrick. He went, and after that he saw my daughter two or three times. My daughter got worse, and for a few days she was unconscious, off and on. The Sacrament was taken by my d aug ht er on the Monday week following the assault, as she thought she was dying. Sergeant Ballantine objected to this evidence. Justice Byles—l think it important, and it must be received. Sergeant Ballantine (to witness)—Were you pre sent when the Sacrament was administered. Witness—Yes. Cross-examined—l assisted in getting my daugh ter to bed. I advised her to write to the doctor. Sergeant Ballantine—Your daughter brought some embrocation home with her, did she not ? Witness—Yes. Sergeant Ballantine—Who put it on ? Witness—l did, but my son assisted me. Sergeant Ballantine—You did ? Witness—Yes. Sergeant Ballantine—Your son was in the room, was he not ? Witness—Yes. Sergeant Ballantine—You advised your daughter not to mention the matter in her letter to the doctor. Why did you do this ? Witness—Because I thought he might give her something that would injure her. Sergeant Ballantine—Poison her, you mean. Witness—No, not that. Sergeant Ballantine—What then ? Witness—That he might give her something that would hurt her, but not that. Sergeant Baliantine—Did you tell your husband about the matter. Witness—No. Sergeant Ballantine—Nor your son? Witness—No. Sergeant Ballantine—What did Mr. Merrick say when he heard of the matter ? Witness—He wanted to go and shoot Dr. Hunter instead of having law. Eliza Wood—l am barmaid to Mrs. Sharland, who keeps the Quebec Arms, Oxford-street. I recol lect Mrs. Merrick coming there on the 14th of October. She was very excited. Mrs. Merrick went into the bar parlour, but Mrs. Sharland was upstairs dressing. Cross-examined by Sergeant Ballantine—Mrs. Sharland lives at the Quebec Arms. She is not in town. She left London yesterday. I don't know where she's gone. I have never been examined be fore. Mrs. Merrick was with Mrs. Sharland about three or four minutes. Mrs. Merrick said she was going to Dr. Hunter's to get something she had forgotten. I have not seen her since. I was first spoken to about coming here last Sunday evening by Mr. Butler. I did not know Mrs. Sharland was going out of town till yesterday morning. Re-examined—Mrs. Sharland has lived in the house in Quebec-street for many years. Sergeant Ballantine—What name is over the door ? Witness—Sharland. Frederick Goddard Jones—l am the brother of Mrs. Merrick. I was at the house in Baker-street on the 14th of October. I recollect my sister com ing home. She was crying when she came in, and she went and laid down on the sofa. She begged of her mother to take her upstairs. No communi cation was made to me about the occurrence. I did not know it until the morning I went to whip Dr. Hunter. Sergeant Robinson—Do you recollect applying an embrocation to your sister's side on the 14th ? Witness—Yes. Sergeant Robinson—Your mother was with you when you did it ? Witness—Yes. Sergeant Ballantine—Did you ever pass as Dr. Goddard ? Witness--I might have been called Dr. Goddard as a nickname when I was a boy. Sergeant Ballantine—You have applied for a licence for a house for the cure of epileptic patients ? Witness—Yes. Sergeant Ballantine—Didn't you make that ap plication in the name of Goddard. Witness—No ; I never used any other name in business but that of Frederick Goddard Jones. The husband of the prosecutrix was called by Sergeant Robinson, but he was merely placed in the box for cross-examination by the counsel for the defendant. In answer to Sergeant Ballantine he said Dr. Hunter never said I owed him nine guineas, and that he would not go on until I paid it. I had already paid him five guineas. I arranged to pay it, but my wife would not have his attendance. I did not tell my wife he would not attend without previous payment. I had been a bankrupt. I have not paid my previous doctor's bill. I have not paid the debts I left in Conduit-street. By Sergeant Robinson—When I went to Dr. Hunter's the first time I did not know of the as sault. The reason I did not send the money to Dr. Hunter was because my wife objected to have anything more to do with him. I first heard some thing of the assault on Monday, the 30th of Octo ber, after I returned from Dr. Hunter's ; my wife said she would have nothing further to do with him as he had insulted her. It was not until the 2d of November that I became fully acquainted with the whole state of the matter, and the same day I went in company with my brother-in-law to horsewhip Dr. Hunter. This was the case for the prosecution. Sergeant Robinson then summed up the evidence he had adduced to support his case. He contended that the evidence he had placed before the jury clearly brought home the charge to the prisoner, de spite the desperate attempt that had been made to prejudice the case and to throw discredit upon the witnesses examined for the prosecution. On the conclusion of the learned sergeant's ob servations the court adjourned for refreshment. On the return of Justice Byles to the bench, Mr. Sergeant Ballantine rose to address the jury for the defence. He said he hoped they would deal with this matter as with the most important event in their lives. It would be idle for him to say he did not feel a deeper responsibility than in more ordinary cases, for whatever might be the motive, whatever might be the state of mind of the prosecutrix, it was impossible for him to prove. He could not forbear referring to the position of the prisoner, a person only but a short time resident in this country, and in his struggle for fame it would be impossible for him to escape from th e envy of persons who looked up on his - talents with dislike. He was now placed in a position of un paralleled difficulty, because such a foul charge as that alleged against him was easily made, but it was difficult, if not almost impossible, to rebut. The learned counsel then proceeded to explain theories of Dr. Hunter, and showed that they required a c l ose examination of the external portions of the body. In the course of his pro fessional duty he stated that he could not go on without further fees, and the two persons then mentioned and the brother of the . pro secutrix committed the violent assault on him. Dr. Hunter went to the police-court, and before the matter came on for hearing this grave charge is made against him. His conduct was not that of a man conscious of guilt ; indeed his conduct was calculated to provoke a quarrel which must have been in the highest degree danger ous to him. He could not but think that in the outset that his learned friend had failed in a most important point ; he had not called any medical man to say what was the name of the drug which would produce such fearful results. They were acquainted with chloroform and ether, ' but neither of these powerful agents would produce the stupifying effects described by the prosecutrix. The peculiar drug used on this occasion was most extraordinary—it caused awoman to fall into a state of powerlessness, in which she would be perfectly conscious of everything that was going on, butquite unable to help herself in case of necessity. It was a novelty to him, and he could not but say that the whole story seemed to be culled from some high flown romance instead of savouring of truth and reason. Did it seem at all probable that the pri soner would run the enormous risk of committing such a crime as this within a very short distance from the room in which other patients were ? Could they imagine for one moment thattk t prisoner could , have pre-arranged all this by providing himself with the little bottle containing the peculiar drug long before Mrs. Merrick came into the room. The chance of discovery did not limit itself to the hear ing of the persons in the prisoner's house. Why, the state of health of the prosecutrix was such that the prisoner had no certainty that, suffering from such a dreadful malady, the outrage would not leave her a corpse in the chair in which she was sitting when the transaction occurred. Why had the prosecution refrained from calling Mrs. Shar land—was her evidence. so unimportant ? He did not think it was, but whatever might be the case she left London yesterday, and according to the evi dence of her barmaid, she did not know where she had gone to. The jury would put their own con struction upon that, but he did not care much. about it, be cause h e did not see why the pro secutrix should have been knocking about the streets at all after she had left Dr. Hunter's in pre ference to at once going home and telling her hus band o f the gr oss outrage that she said had been committed upon her. Then, with respect to the letter she sent to Dr. H unter, did i t at all read like the production of a p erson who had but one single hour previously suffered the greatest wrong a woman could receive from a man ? It began " Dear sir," and terminated " yours obediently." Was it such a letter that a daughter would write in the presence of her mother after such an occur rence? He thought not. It was said the mother suggested the terms of the letter, but was it lik e l y that the services of the prisoner should be desired when he (the learned counsel) was sure there was not a single street in the great metropolis, from one end of it to the other, in which a medical man would not, upon being sent for, • have rendered all the assistance in his power. However, in the face of all that it had occurred. Then it was said was it likely that a woman, supposing her self to be at the point of death and taking the sacrament, would pass to eternity with a falsehood on her lips. Why, if he recollected the evidence aright, it was to the effect that, when she partook of the Holy Sacrament, she had not told her mother the whole facts of the outrage of which she said she was the victim. Justice Byles said the learned Sergeant might reason that way if he pleased ; but he had to re mind him that he had the notes of the evidence be fore him, and according to them it appeared that she had told her mother all before taking that solemn obligation. Sergeant Ballantine proceeded--He was under the impression that such was not the case, but if it was so he would not further allude to it. However, he would now just lightly touch upon the position of the husband of the prosecutrix. Was he a person that was at all likely to be overburthened with money ? Why, it had been proved he had been a bankrupt, that he had not even paid his previous doctor's bill of £lB. Then, with respect to the evidence of the brother of the prosecutrix, who had been a policeman, a carpenter, and a pastrycook, he did not see his testimony was such as to help them to arrive at a clear conclusion in this case. Having referred to the other minor points in the trial, the learned Sergeant resumed his seat by saying ho would not appeal to their feelings, but he called upon them, not for the protection of their sympathy, but for the protection of their honest judgment. Mr. Justice Byles then summed up the case. lle said he 'did not remember a trial in which more fearful wickedness. was imputed to one side or the other. On the one side it was said you have been guilty of a breach of the most sacred professional confidence, and on the other it was said, you have been guilty of the most abomi nable perjury against an innocent man. The case was, therefore, of ttlp greatest importance ; because previous to this nothing was alleged against the character of either tVe'prosecutrix or of the defen dant; both, therefoi Were stainless as far as was known to the Court. 'The learned judge then com menced reading and dthimenting upon the evidence, beginning with that of the prosecutrix, and on com ing to the apparent cdntradiction as to the parties who applied the embtocation, the learned Judge said it appeared to him that both the brother and the mother were engaged in doing that, and therefore there was nothing of very great impor tance in the slight discrepancy in the testimony of two of the witnesses. With respect to the evidence of the husband going to Dr. Hunter a n d ask ing him to attend his wife it was clearly:in evidence that when he did it he was in entire igno rance of the assault, and when he became acquainted with it the first thing he did was to go to Dr. Hun ter's house, and, in the i presence of a witness, horse whip him. The question of the guilt or inno cence of the prisoner was entirely a question for them (the jury). They'would have to determine upon the guilt or innocence of the accused, but if they were so puzzled that they could not come to a sound and satisfactory conclusion, then they would act on that golden rule in criminal law, and not convict a man of whose"guilt they bad the slightest doubt. to: The jury, at a quarter to 4, retired to consider their verdict, and, after,a n absence of a quarter of an hour, returned into court with a ver di ct o f NOT GUILTY. The announcement of the verdict was received with loud applause by the persons who thronged every corner of the court. Dr. Hunter, during the calling over the names of the jury on their return from the court-room after they had arrived at their verdict, gave outward signs of the greatest anxiety, although throughout the proceedings he had borne himself with the greatest firmness. Immediately the verdict was pronounced his appearance altogether altered • his eyes brightened up, and the whole expression Of his countenance was that of a person who had ex perienced the greatest relief. Immediately he quitted the dock he was joined by his friends, who were in waiting to receive him. BOROUGH HOP. The trade for most descriptions of hops rules quiet.

EXTRAORDINARY TROTTING MATCII.—At River side Park, New York, on Friday, Nov. 11, one of the most extraordinary matches on record took place, in which the celebrated trotter, Capt. M'Gowan, was matched to trot 20 miles in the hour for $5,500, the backer of time staking £BOO to £3OO . The feat has been twice before accomplished by American trotters over a mile course, but the present match was arranged to take place on a half mile track. The watches having been set, the signal was given for the start soon after three o'clock, Mr. Bowen handling the reins. The first mile was accomplished in 2 min. 571 secs., the whole distance being accomplished in 5 8 min. 25 secs., which is the fastest time on record. Mrs. Yelverton's case against the Saturday Review is to be tri e d on th e 4th of December, before Lord Jervs woods and a jury. The 'i s sue sent to the jury is whether i the article complained of represents the pursuer to be an immodest and disreputat 'le person, to her loss, injury, and damage. The defence is, not that the article is true, but that it was within the limits of fair criticism. - - - The voters of Kary ;as City have votedunanimously in favour or subscribing $200,000 to the Kansas and Noosho Valley Railroad.
