NOTES ON NEW MExIoo.--No. 15 Of this series
is to-day presented to our readers. We have
read it with satisfaction, and in admiration Of
the writer's ready apprehension, and easy and
familiar style Of narrative. He appears to be
equally at home in describing the physical
characteristics of the country, the social condi-
ton of the people, the political aspects of So
ciety, and the idiosyncracies of individual char
acter. In describing the ecclesiastics whom he
has seen, the religious rites he has witnessed,
and the influence of the religious institutions Of
the country, some of our readers are Of opinion
that he judges with prejudiced mind. We
can answer for him that he does not SO believe
but lest he should Internationally give offence
in this particular, and to people whom he has
no desire to offend, he readily assents to the
omission of every thing susceptible Of such an
Interpretation.

The TRIAL OF DAY FoR MURDER. Yssterday
after the jury had been empannelled as we stated,
Mr.. Fendall, for the prosecution, opened the
case, and gave concise narrative of the facts
he expected to prove, and definition of the law
applicable to it. He was followed by Mr.. Nor
gan, who made the opening speech for the de-
fence.
Miss Catherine B. Dreamer was called as the
first witness. She was present when Mrs. Day
was shot. Her examination was arrested for
an adjournment at about four o'clock. Here
after, it is understood, the court will not ad-
journ until five p. m.
To-Day.-Miss Creamer's evidence was this
morning concluded. 1t was direct to the COM
mission of the act of shooting. The father Of
the murdered girl, Mr.. Fridley, was then ex-
amined; and at one o'clock Mrs. Fridley was at
the stand. She was several times SO much over
come by emotion that she could not proceed
with her evidence. AT one time, bursting into
an involuntary paroxysm of weeping, she ex-
claimed, Excuse me, gentlemen cannot
think of my poor pale daughter, without weep
ing!" The testimony Of the parents relates to
the state Of feeling between Day and his wife
before the murder, and the circumstances lead
ing to this horrid act.
