QUARTER TO THREE.
Everything looks cheerful in the City on account of tin
pleasing news from America, and the produce and mercantile
markets are expected to assume a very different appearance
next week to that which has characterised them for some time
past. It is to be hoped we may yet have an increase of ac-
tivity in the manufacturtng districts, so as to alleviate the dis-
tress of the operatives.

CRIMINAL COURT (THIS DAY)
Richard Eustuce, and Mary Ann Hazard, were triec.
for the murder of William Hazard, the husband of tin
female prisoner,, at Deptford, on the 15th of Septembe►
last. All the particulars have already appeared in The
Sun. After a lengthened investigation, the Judge de-
clared there was no evidence against the prisoners, and
the Jury accordingly returned a verdict of " Not guilty."

meeting of the Directors after the conviction, he was dis-

LONDON:
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1841.

The trial of NPLEon by the State of New
York is over at last. It commenced on the 4th
inst. at Utica, and closed on the 14th, when the
prisoner was acquitted. The great length at which
we have given the report:of the proceedings pre-
vents us from making any comment upon them.
Ef we overlook the important fact that the Court
assumed a jurisdiction in this case which it
most certainly did not possess—viz., the right
to try M'LEon at all; we must admit that its
proceedings throughout were dignified, decorous,
and. impartial. The defence was exceedingly
yell conducted ; and in Mr. SPENCER, the pri-
goner had an advocate who would do credit to the
bar of any country.

A doubt, it appears, prevails in some quarters
whether the Gem-eminent will pay the fraudulent
Exchequer bills put into circulation, or whether
the holders of those bills will have to bear the
!oss. In the case of ROBERT ASLETT, the Judges
'geld that " the Exchequer bills were valid, for
they were issued under authority of Govern-
ment, and the holder had a claim on the justice
)f the Government for payment." That was the
)pinion of the Judges in answer to a doubt raised,
wcause those bills had been signed with the
!ame of Lord GRENVILLE, by a person not le-
sally authorised, and so far, therefore, as the
