AcoUITTED.-In our last trenton was
made of the arrest of Messrs. Charles Ham
cock and Guy Potter, on the charge of issn-
ing and passing counterfeit money. On
Wednesday, the case was taken IN in coprt
Justices Geo. W. CHM, JOS Dcnnv aud S,
r. Atwell on the bench c. l.. WatrouSc
and Mr.. jenkins appeared for the prosecu-
ton, and Messrs =. Williams, Urel Wright.
/. w. NJ. Holiday, aud U. i. Boyce repre-
scented with zeal and ability the defendants
The trial was continued until Friday. great
amount of testimony being taken, when a
verdict of ''not guilty" was rendered.
The verdict seems to give universal satis>
faction. Strong concurrent testimony proved
the honorable, business-like character of the
defendants. The case of the prosecution
was certainly a very weak one, as elected in
the trial; and it is to be regretted that even
a temporary suspicion should hare been
aroused against the parties mentioned, by an
arrest based on such frivolous grounds.

sey, who had an eye for the good things of life,
looked cut early for the inner man. was greatly
nterestedin pair Of brass andirons, placed there
by Wolsey in ahuge fireplace. They are at least
two and a half feet high. Can you not picture
yule log of immense size, such as would alone fit
this fireplace, and Wolsey seated before it,
building up his immense projects, smiling to him
self to think how completely he ruled both king
and people little dreaming that woman's deli
cate hand would bring that proud head low, How
strange life
The martyrs tomb comes next, for here Granmer,
Ridley and Latimer were burnt--an afternoons
amusement of bloody Mary. The monument is
seventy three feet high raised on high steps. The
second story has three statues of the martyrs
under canopy, the whole surmounted by large
cross. So admirably has the architect carried out
his plan despite its sire it has sgraceful, airy ap
pearance.
MagdaleR College, the grounds of which cover
hundred acres in the heart of the city, is also
beautiful The grounds are in the highest state of
cultivation, whilst the eldtrees tower heavenward.
Underneath their branches sport the deer, as in
the sylvan days of merrte England! Don't fail to
go to Oxford when you come over, it will fully
repay you. There is great rivalry between the
cities of Oxford and Cambridge, but for beauty of
situation Oxford has the best of it, being stu
ated in hills, whilst Cambridge is on a
vast plain. You see nothing until you
are near the object. The colleges are equally
fine with Oxford. Kings College, that visited
today, is grand. The chapel is the finest have
yet seen. tits three hundred feet long by forty
five broad This vast area is spanned by an enor-
nous stone roof every particle of which is carved
with the richest grain work. It is eighty feet
high, and literally suspended, being unsupported
| by single pillar. Henry VIII presented the
windows stained glass-gorge in coloring and
grand in subjects. There twentysix, fifty feet
high, of course correspondingly broad. On the
altar is painting said to be copy of Raphael by
an Italian artist, whose name / can't spell. The
subject, stChrist taken from the cross There,
shan't write any more about colleges. Oh yes, I
must just one, and of that because Milton was
connected with it-Christ College. 1t was founded
by tile mother of Henry VII, the countess of Rich
mond. In the grand hall there is fine portrait of
her. But the grounds have, for me, the most in
terest There is the tree they say Milton planted.
1t is mulberry. 1t is evidently very old, and only
kept from decay by good care. Several years
ago, during storm, half Of it was blown down,
the torn end was covered with lead, and though
the trunk is much decHyed it is carefully propped
mp, and still bears fruit. 1t is bearing now.
My next letter will be from London. Little
shall have to say. as everybody writes about The
great city, and better than can.

Nav ORLEANS, Sept. %, 1866.
| Dear Md-After wandering about this city for
six weeks in search of employment have at last
secured situation, or rather I should say two
situations; for have found a home in a second
class boarding house. where the pious example I
am to set the other boarders is to be deemed a
sufficient reeompepse for my board and lodging.
| They have given me room in the attic as they
| say those unaccustomed to the atmosphere of
| New Orleans should not sleep near the ground !:
besides am far removed from the profanity and
| immortality in the street.
| / know it is second class boarding house, be-
cause the castors can hardly stand alone, the
| knives and folks and spoons are nearly all broken
or bent, the carpets are full of holes, the chairs
as rickety as the castors, the looking glasses all
more orless broken, the window shades in rib
bons, the beds as hard as planks, the knives and
forks so greasy they slip from your hands while eat
ing, and the family propertake all the lower portion
| of the house, except the dining room for their
own use, and stow their boarders away in the up-
per portion Of the house and out on the wings of
the building. The family was reduced to the ne
cessity to taking boarders by their losses during
the war. Before the war they lived in Georgia or
South Carolina, forget which, in atf1uent circunl.
stances-the daughters say.
The boarders all take deep interest in me and
pay me marked attention. While waiting for their
meals and atnight they ask me great many dues-
tions in theology, and seem to manifest much in
terest about their future welfare. I also have
made the acquaintance Of physician who is lust
my size and figure. As he practices among the
first families he does not wear his clothes thread
bare, and he has promised to clothe me with suits
but slightly worn if would ride daily with him in
his buggy to keep the seat ..horzoutal," as he
calls it, and hold his horse while he is in the
houses if feel like doing So OF course l feel
like il, for he takes deep interest in my welfare
audalmost daily suggests something that will be for
my worldly interest, if carry out his suggestion
He told me to-day that he would see the city
authorities ard get permission for me to stand on
the CitysHall steps, out of the way of the rabbe,
and sell pieces of smoked glass, which can pre-
pare myself, on the day the next eclipse occurs.
So yon see, dear ma, that ] am fed, lodged and
clothed, with prospect ahead of making money. |
What do you think of that? Won't the other
young men in cur village feel Jealous when they
hear of my good luck I told you knew what I !
was about when I started for New Orleans.
The doctor says if he continues to be pleased
with me, may read his books, and when have
qualified myself, he will start me in the drug and
medicine business, and that if manage my card
right Gas he calls it, will some day be able to sell
as many drugs and medicines as the famous James
CONCEAL atNo. 20 St. Charles street.
What do You think of that?
