BosToS, May 80.
The examination OF eleven persons arrest.
ed for riot on Friday last, and also charged
with the murder of Bachelor, has been post
poned till Friday.
The political court was crowded when the
prisoner was brought in.
Mr.. Ellis concluded his argument and in
troduced testimony for the defense in the
Burns case. The first witness examined
swore positively that he saw Burns, the al
legged fugitive, in Boston the LIST Of March,
and employed him on the 4th. at Matterran
iron works, south Boston. His testimony to
this effect was corroberatec by Mr.. Drew,
book keeper at Mattarran iron orks. Both
witnesses were closely cfoss.examined, but,
the testimony remained mistaken.
The testimony SO far is convincing that
Burns was in Boston three weeks before the
date of his escape, as alleged in complaint.
The general opinion is that he is really
the slave of Sutte, but that fatal error in
dates has been made in compl-int.
New ORLEANS, May 26.
The details of the late Mexican news an
nouncing Sant1 Annals victories over AL.
varez appear to be that he succeeded in maxi
ing a retreat from Acapulco to the capitol

credit the governments accounts.
The Mexican army has been delivered to

revolution must die out of is own accord.
A. conspiracy was discovered in Fort San

thing that was not within the limits of an
honest and honorable discharge OF his profess
sional duty and that his judgment and feel
ings approved Of his course
BosToN. May 81.
The fugitive slave case was resumed this
morning. The room was crowded full. The
crowd outside has largely increased since
yesterday. The Hon. Joshua X. Giddngs,
Wendell Phillips, aud Theodore Parker were
in the courtroom.
The witnesses called by the prosecution, to
rebuff the testimony given yesterday, which
asserted that Burns was IN Boston previous
to the date of his escape as alleged the indict-
ment were examined. Their testimony
somewhat vitiated that which was given yes
terday.
The government also offered the prison r.
his own admission as to the time he left Vr-
ginia, which was objected To by the counsel
on the other side. The court ruled that the
prsonel's admissions could be received.
