THE ROBERTSON TRIAL-The trial Of Mr..
Robertson, at Rochester, ~ Y, for an at
tempt to murder his wife, closed, on the goth
inst, with all acquttal. The circumstances
of the case were most peculiar but the ver-
diet of the jury is, without doubt, just one.
The wife, at any rate, did not believe the
charge, but, on the contrary, was one of the
strongest witnesses in favor Of her husband
So with her friends and relatives generally
The principal witness against Robertson, DR..
Begler, made most determined charge, and
what is more, backed it up with seemingly
satisfactory corroborative evidence but the
jury, the best judges in the matter, have de
clared, virtually. that they do not believe him,
and that there has been some hocus pocus prac.
ticed upon the respectable gentlemen who sus-
tain him.

FOREIGN NEws.--The Cunard steamship
Europa, arrived at New ork on Sunday last
The news received by the Europa is impor-
tant in many respects. On the 25th of No
vember, Sir HENRY HAvELocK, Z. c. b., died
at Lucknow, from dysentery, brought on by
exposure and anxiety His loss will be severe
ly felt, for it was by his energy and ability
that the British dominion in Northwestern
eminently, was the hero Of this Indian war,
aud, as such, whatever may be done hereafter
Lis name will go down to posterity. The 9TH
er deaths that We have to announce are those
of Mile. RACHEL, whose genius requires no eu-
logy Field Marshal RADErzKY, the Austrian
hero of q hundred fights, who died in his 9Sth
year and REDsCHID PAcHA, the Grand Vi
Eier of Turkey, through whose perSevering and
enlightened ability many important reforms
have been inaugurated in the Ottoman empire,
The intelligence from India, which is two
weeks later, is contained in brief telegram.
A battle was fought near Cawnpore on the
27th Of November, between Gen. WYNDHAM's s
division and some 5000 of the Gwalior mutt
neers, in which the British were compelled to
retreat One regiment it is said, was thor
oughly cut up. Sir Colin CAMPBELL FASTENED
to the rescue, without loss of time, and in the
second engagement the rebels were defeated
with great loss. All the women, children and
wounded from Lucknow had arrived in safety
at Alahabad.
The financial news by the Europa is impor-
tant. The Bank of England, as was antici-
pated, had reduced their rate of discount to
six per cent. aud reductions have been also
made by the Banks of Prussia, Belgium and
Turin. 1n London, the money market was
steady, and the funds continued firm An un-
paralleled increase in the Bank of EnglandS s
bullion is recorded. Trade and commercial
confidence were fast reviving in the manufae-
turing districts of both Great Britain and
France. Throughout the week, ending the
9th inst, the process of launching the Leria-
than had been successfully continued, and the
day the Europa left, the huge steamship was
within sixty-four feet Of water sufficiently deep
to float her.

Mexico AGAIN-Late advices from Havana
announce that Spanish feet, consisting of
one ship-of-the-line, one sloop, one brig, and a
steam frigate, had sailed from thence for a
cruise in the Gulf, ostensibly, but really for
the purpose of landing Santa Anna at Vera
Cruz There can be but little doubt as to the
destination of this fleet, supposed it to have
sailed, nor as to the fact that the hero of
the cork leg" is on board He will find a
warm reception in Mexico, but the caloric will
not be Of the most grateful kind. From all
we can learn there is a strong feeling against
Santa Anna with the majority of the factions
that now divide Mexico, while so far as Spain
is concerned, the opposition is unanimous
The Mother Country has only to attempt to
land an army in Mexico to stir up an united
opposition from the people of that Republic,
and to call in to their aid, hordes of volunteers
from the United States, who will eventually
bring the g. Halls of the Montezumas" once
more under the Star Spanged Banner.

Visit of the Chicago Musical Association

The members Of the Chicago Musical
Association to the number of about one
hundred and fifty: accompanied by the
Great Western Band and large mum
Der of visitors from Chicago paid our
city visit agreeably to previous ar
rangements on Tuesday afternoon last.
The steamer Arctic arrived here at a
little past two o'clock, conveying the
Chicago visitors; they were met at the
pier by respectable number of our citi-
zens and accompanied to the Park
where temporary platform and good
ly number Of seats had been provided
for their accommodation. The day was
exceedingly fine, and every way eondu-
Give to outdoor enjoyment in the Park.
The number of persons in the Park who
participated in the festivities Of the af-
ternoon could Lot have been less than
one thousand. Refreshments were
spread for different groups under the
shade Of the old oaks in various parts of
the Park, where ice creams and the del
icacies Of the season, as we'll as the
more substantials were bountifully dis
pensed. The interview with our Chica-
80 friends had less Of the formal, and
more Of the social character, which rem
dered the occasion more especially
pleasing. There were among the Chi
cage visitors, many whose names are
well known for their musical talent; al
SO editors and professional men.
The Band played excellent music, and
their performances were received with
evident satisfaction The singing by
the Musical Association was in excellent
good taste, and the pieces selected were
executed with that judgment and skill,
which none but experienced performers
could have done. At the close Of the
exercises in the Park, large number
repaired to Odd Fellows Hall, where
Mrs. Bostwiek, distinguished vocalist,
delighted an appreciatiye audience with
several pieces of choice music. Mrs
B. has Il remarkably sweet voice, Of
great power and compass, and executes
with thrilling effect.
At little before six o'clock, the Chi
cago company returned to the boat, ac
companied by agoodly number of cur
citizens, and on the departure Of the
Steamer, cheers were given and
heartily responded to; and other
demonstrations Of graduation manifest
ed. The advent of the Chicago Musi-
cal Association to this city, will be rec
objected by very many Of us, as pleas
