BALTIMORE, Oct 3O.-The trial of the police
commissioners continued to-day. A large number
of witnesses for the defense was summoned.
The case continued till O'Clock, when the
court adjourned till five, the purpose being to
hold a night session, though it will be brought to
a termination tomorrow night The evidence to-
day went to prove that the boxes used at the late
election were the same used for several years
past; that boxes for rejected votes were sent to
all the wards, and that twenty-seven were re-
turned with rejected votes.

seas.
He will be tried at the next session Of the United

Ortega to pass to Mexico. The Mexican consul

pose of getting their annuities, and that they will

them.

respondent conveys the idea that Austria is pre-

Prussia is still one of deep hatred, and the SOL

it is thought Cen Grant will temporarily take
