in the demand for Eaglish wool. Long-stapled qualities,
however, have steadily supported previous quotations;
otherwise prices have had a drooping tendency. In colo-
nial wool, privately, very little has been done since the
close of the public sales. Last week's import was 1,986
bales from New Zealand ; 5,634 Sydney ; 488 Cape ; and
226 bales from Buenos Ayres.

plot in which they had actually committ 3d themselves
was the first scheme, that to kidnap the President.
Mr. Cox contended that the evidence established the
fact that O'Laughlin and Arnold took no part
whatever in the execution of the conspiracy set forth
in the charges against them ; and he therefore
claimed for them an unqualified acquittal: In con-
clusion, he reminded the court that they were not
sitting in judgment on all' the errors of the lives
of the accused, but only to decide the single ques-
tion of their guilt under the charges preferred.
The Court then adjourned until two p.m. on the
following day. Mrs. Surratt had to be taken out of
the court-room on account of severe illness.

Quite an excitement was recentlyproduced among
the troops of the Fourth Army Corps encamped near
Nashville, upon the reading of the order for them
to depart for Texas. Some of the men became in-
subordinate, and quite a number have deserted.
Resolutions were adopted by the troops declaring
that they volunteered for the purpose of Maintaining
the Union, and that their mission having been ac-
complished, they were entitled to go home ; and,
further, that in sending them to Texas, it appeared
that the Government had a secret intention to use
them in war in Mexico, which proceeding they de-
nounced in advance, and demanded their discharge
from United States service.

The Medical Inspector of the United States Army,
Col. Lyman, has been ordered to inquire into the
cause of the excessive mortality among the Con-
federates still confined in Northern prison camps.
It is supposed that depression of spirits has ren-
dered them unusually susceptible to disease, a pe-
culiarity said to have been observed throughout the
war among troops of both sections after experiencing
defeat. The mortality among the Confederates has
recently increased very greatly.
The Shaksperian sentence, "If 'twere done when
'tis done, then 'twere well 'twere done quickly," put
in the mouth of Jefferson, Davis, by the Northern
press, on the occasion of his hearing, at Danville, of
Mr. Lincoln's assassination, proves to have been a
pure invention of some newspaper correspondent.
It is now ascertained that Mr. Davis simply said,
" This is an incredible communication," and did not
even authorise the reading of the telegram to the
crowd. Nothing concerning Mr. Davis's captivity
has recently been published.

Numerous incendiary fires are occurring through-
out the country. On the 18th the United States
Hotel at Saratoga and other buildings at Saratoga
Springs were destroyed.

Up to the 19th 150,000 troops had gone North
from Washington to be mustered out of service.

Au Indignant Earl.

Saturday was appointed for the hearing of the sum-
mons, at the Wandsworth Police-court, against the Earl
of Winchilsea and Nottingham for smoking a cigar in the
Vauxhall Railway Station, but he did not appear.
After waiting some timo after the hour named in the
summons, Mr. Dayman inquired whether there were any
parties present.

Mr. L. Crombie, the law clerk to the South-Western
Railway Company, said he was prepared with witnesses to
go on with the case ; but he was afraid from a letter
which had been received from the defendant that he would
not appear.

Mr. Dayman—What reason does he give ?
Mr. Crombie then read a letter, of which the following is
a copy :

" 32, Albemarle-street, June 28, 1865.

" Sir,—l demand the instant dismissal of the station-
master, name of Alter, at your Vauxhall station, who has
had the effrontery to apply for a summons, involving a
breach of privilege, against me at the Wandsworth bench,
for what he has the impudence to term smoking contrary
to your bylaws. I beg you to observe that the piece of
impudence involves a breach of the privilege of the House
of Lords, and that you, the chairman of the company, shall
be held responsible for it.

" WINCHILSEA AND NOTTINGHAM."

"To the Chairman of the South-Western, Railway, ezo."

It was explained that the earl had made a mistake with
regard to Alter. He was the officer who applied for the
summons on behalf of Mr. Bent, the company's superin-
tendent of police.

Mr. Crombio said the earl was liable to be summoned
Like any other person.

Mr. Dayman said the usual course was to give an hour's
grace, and if no appearance was made to grant a second
8111110118.

Shorty before 12 o'clock the case avas again mentioned
and Mr..Da.yman remarked that ho would not wait any
longer, as it was not probable that the earl would attend
after the letter he had sent.

Mr. Crombie then said that he should apply for a second
summons, to be marked "peremptory."
Ultimately a second summons was granted, and Mr.
Crombie said it would be better for the secretary of the
company to write to.the earl, as he had addressed the chair-
man, intimating that it was necessary for him to appear to
prevent the issuing of a warrant.
Mr. Dayman said the costs of the witnesses would be
taken into consideration when the case was heard.
