and intends staying all winter. As he treats his null
titudinous patients the fun-opathic principle, and
as he keeps large and splendidly furnished hospital

Recorder Summers on Thursday evening. The accu-
sed, Edward Thomas, slave boy belonging to Mr..
Jeroleman the Arcade barber, was defended by Col.
Field, and the underwriters were represented by Mr..
John Youenness, testified alike to the effect that the
boy had confessed to them that he started the last
fire at the Arcade, which fire was in the hotel store
age room, in the second story of the back building.
At first he denied it, but becoming scared confessed
that he had started the fire by lighting match
among pillows lot Of old chairs, and stated
that white man had induced him to do it. This
he could not name but be had described him as
a small, light.hared man, without beard, who stad
about the hotel, said be wanted the building burnt,
and offered him either three five thousand dollars
to do the job. Other testimony showed that the boy
in and about the furniture just previous to
fire. and that after the fire had started and before
the bells rung he running out Poydras street

| The EXAMINATION of Mrs. Hannah Flynne,
charged with setting fire to and destroying the build
ing which she kept for millinery store and fur.
nshed rooms at the corner of Canal and Rampant
Streets took place before Recorder Wiltz yesterday
She was defended by Col Field; the underwriters,
through their agents, Messrs Youennes and Adams
were represented by Mr.. Tappan. Numerous wit.
nesses were examined, and the testimony being
pushed down to the split Of hair by the opposing
was that one witness, staying in the second house
from the corner, testified that from rear window he
saw Mrs. Flynne in her back yard with a candle in
her hand just before the fire broke out whilst man
roomng in her house testified that from the situation
of the yard intervening kitchen, etc. the other wit
ness could not possibly have seen anything going on
in Mrs. Flynne's yard. This, with brick alterations
going on between the two houses, reduced the aues
ton to one of geography, topography, architecture
surveying and mathematics in general in which
few of the students (or wtnesses) passed the ordeal
with any astonishing degree Of lucidity or credit
The testimony for the defence was not concluded
and the case was continued. AS it stands it look:
like "nip-and,tuck between Mrs. Flynne and
Messrs. Adams and Youennes.
