the Court. The Counsel for the govern. !
meni immediately moved for the empan--
neIling Of a new Jury to proceed again
with The trial. To this the prisoners
counsel objected, and moved for post,
ponemeDt to the next stated term Of the
Court. which Will be held in November
The alleged excuse for this motion was
the absence Of s. II. Knapp, brother of
the prisoner, and who il was believed could
give important testimony in the case. In
support Of this motion Dir. Gardner read
three afiidayits,- s,--oDe by Nathaniel Phip-
pen Knapp, one by X. Rantoul, and one
by the prisoner. The prisoner in his afli
davit, swears that his brother. now out Of
the country, would If he were present,
swear that the prisoner was in his chamber
nj his fathers house at the time the mur-
der IN SAID 10 have been c0mmitte d--that
he did not expect 10 be accused as u prn.
cipal in the traHsaclIon, ~ was not prepsr
ed to prove an slibi, &c. Mr. Webster
stated tnat the lo stimony Of the witnesses
who were present would receive no addi
tonal weight from the presence OF s. H..
Knapp, and that the government was vii
! ling to admit that he would sn ear as a!
legged IN the AFFIDAVIT. The Court over
roled tho motlou for continuance, and ad
journed TO Saturday morning 9o'clock.
On Saturday the clerk proceeded to ocall
a new Jury. 4 number were challenged
and set aside. After The panneIl Was com
pleted, the Solicitor General opened die
case on the part Of government. and
| proceeded 10 ca!lihe witnesses. The first
witness examined was BENJAMIN +. White
10 II
IN the house of Captain White before and
/ at the time Of the murder. Dr. Johnson
was next called. aud described The appear
ance of the body Of Captain White when
he first examined it. The testimony OF
| those three Witnesses was essentially the
same as on the first trial. Dr. Hubbard, a
! new witness was then called. who testified d
tha, he was present during the examna
! ton by Dr.. johnson. and assisted in The
! process. lie corrobora,ed all the previous
statements of DR. Johnson, and described
very minutely The appearance oi'the cham
bel, the position of the windows &c. Dr.
| Hubbard said that he expressed bis opn,
ION nj that time, and he had seen 10 cause
To change II, that the murder had been
committed before IL O'clock.
Benjamin Leighton. the young man ho
/ lived IN the iamily with the Knapps at
! Wenhnn, was examined with painful mi
nuteness. lie was on The stand ncnrly an
honr. His testimony is already before the
the public IN our supplementary number of
Saturday. The whole examination and
cross. examination Of this witness did not
pcrcepliby differ IN the amonnt of ten
words from those used on the first trial
! The questions were essentially tho same
and the answers were obtained only by a
species of torture which can hardly be
conceived by anv who did not-winess his
tiInidily and suffering.
Palmer, the state prison convict, was
next examined, and like oil others. stated
Substantially the same as before.

The Philadelphia American Sentinel, in
noticing the circumstance Of the American
shipping suspending their colors at half mast
as "a mark Of respect for tho memory of the
late King Of England, and Of coincidence With
his subjects, makes the folowing observations:
"Colors half mast high in token of
mourning for the death of a British
King, appears to be a strange thing for
American shipping in an Ameri q
harbour. Newspapers in black on lhe
same occasion, stranger still. Is it the
man that is mourned MIR. Jeiferson's 8

er the Duke of Wellington may spout
