Trial of ABIGAIL Gardner.

The trial OF Abigail Gardner for the murder of
her husband, Hosea James Gardner, late post
master at Bingham, by administering arsenic to
him, occupied the Supreme Judicial Court,
in session at Plymouth, nearly the whole of last
week. The theory Of the defence is the absence
OF direct proof The uncertainty Of circumstantial
evidence, the want of motive and the probability
that deceased poisoned himself. The evidence
and arguments closed Thursday night, and Judge
Merrick charged the jury Friday morning
Previous to the Judges charge, Mrs. Gardner
addressed the jury She labOTed under much
excitement and frequently burst into tears, but
solemnly declared her entire innocence Of the
crime. She spoke as follows:
81 have much to say, but feel almost unable to
say it, ! feel that / have been greatly injured
and slandered by those that have prejudice
against me and am placed in a situation where
cannot help myself. 1 feel like one standing
alone in the world" (The prisoner WAS here
overcome by her emotions; recovering, in a few
moments, she continued y "and I was almost
unable to get here this morning. ! thought last
night could say considerable, but cannot, ia
consequence OF feeble health.
81 do not feel as if ] had done anything to put
myself here l can declare my innocence before
my Maker and before You all-that am innocent
Of the charge which is made against me Some
one done the deed and II was laid to me- | alone
have to bear II. ] feel as If i was dying by
inches.
" AS you are the Judge OF this court, knowing
that you are to have Judge In heaven that will
judge you in the last day, hope you will be mer-
ciful and spare me for the sake Of my children
They are as near and dear to NE as my own life.
They have been disgraced by what others have
brought upon me do not feel as though have
done anything myself. know have not There
fore feel as IL had been injured in conseq uence
Of prejudice and it's falling towards me for what
l am not to blame.
"I would that God would reveal 10y his spirit
to your minds and hearts that am Innocent and
that you might know the guilty one''
She then took her seat but rose again in a mo-
ment and said, :" ask you to Judge me rightly,
and be careful that you do not condemn me with
out knowing what you do.'i
Judge Merrick then charged the jury, occupy.
ing about an hour and half in his address
At lOK O'Clock, a. m. the jury retired, but came
into court at 6k p. m, unable to agree upon a
verdict The Court instructed them to deliberate
further, and they retired again.
They remained out all night, and came into
court again Saturday morning Five Of them
stood for an acqnittal and seven for conviction
The prisoner will remain In custody until re-
handed.

IMPORTANT FROM MExIco.-The Mexican Ell
traordinary Of August 9th, says:
From Mazatlan we learn that the late acts
against the United States Consul have been fol-
lowed by seizure Of the captain and crew of the
schooner Ada, and their precipitate eiectment
over the sides OF the vessel. The flag of the Uni
ted States has been torn to pieces, and other acts
committed in violence to the order OF the United
States Consul, who was in the discharge Of the
duties Of his Office. The outrage upon the resi-
dence Of her Britanjc Majesty's Charge is another
case that creates fear in the minds of those who
wish the good understanding of Mexico with
other Powers.
"The impoverished condition Of the national
treasury Is now confessed by the official organ
have had the misfortune to hold orders on the
treasury The fact may be regarded as alarming
| In the present entangled condition Of relations
with spain. But 1t Is not the sffair Of good
business man to quietly throw himself down and
chance to replenish it. Mexico is al present short
OF ready money. Can she escape this disagree
able position, And, If so, how, How, we ask,
| is she to raise money, We know IL does not SAVIOR
| Of the present sentiment Of Mexico, but we will
answer In the voice Of every thinking man in
Mexico, "by making treaty with the United
| States.n The United States IS the only country
| that will lend money TO Mexico.
"Mexico must have money, but Eat what price,
| every loyal Mexican should ask. We believe We
| have good authority for saying that the nited
| States Government is now about Offering a loan
| TO Mexico, but on the best authority we say II,
without asking anything which will be dero9a :
! tory to the dignity of Mexico to grant.
"The instructions to Mr.. Forsy ii from his gov
eminent are now on their way from Vera Cruz, to
this city. We are Informed by teleg raph that the
| agent Of one Of the unsettled questions between
the United States and Mexico has arrived at Vera
