The evidence in relation TO the death OF Mrs.
Freddy is so conflicting that II will puzzle Jury
to decide whether she committed suicide or was
deprived of life by the violence OF her husband.
No examination has yet been held by the Mayor;
but IL O'Clock tomorrow morning has been liked
upon. The mother of the prisoner now says that
she discovered the deceased suspended in the cellar
and calling upon her husband to go for the doctor,
she was left hanging until he came. This is de-
MED by the doctor, who says the woman was dead
before he saw her. and that she was in bed. He
gave a certificate that she died of debility, she
having been unwel for year or two before, dur
ing which he had occasionally attended, her, the
last visit having taken place alb out nine days
before. Rumors are ailoat connecting the under
taker IN certain transactions after the burial but
as these charges have not yet taken official form,
i will not make any more particular aluslon to
them.
A meeting is called for this evening, in favor of
reform IN the navy, at which Mayor Swift is to
preside, and Bishop Potter and others deliver
addresses. The principle object of the originator
of this movement, Watson G.. Haynes, an old sea
opinion in opposition TO fiogging in the navy; but
some influence hostile to this purpose has been
brought TO bear, and the Mayor is aiding 1t by
lending his authority to prevent any mention OF
that crying sin OF our navy, In which It most needs
reformation. A second meeting is talked of, when
this squeamishness will not be allowed to prevail;
and the detcstable custom will receive the reproba-
| ton in which all true freemen will join:
