New York Dry Goods Market.

New YORK, November ).
The dry goods market is unchanged,
except that there is more hopeful feel
ing apparent as the days before election
pass away and the cause of the present
dizziness disappears. There are no fur
ther changes in the prices of cotton
goods, holders expressing confidence
in better demand soon, and stocks are
not very large. Standard sheetings are
gradually held at full the prices of the
LIST of October, although, should
trade be q little dilatory after
the election, a decline of 1a2c
might be effected. Wooden goods are
still dull, and the prices of all kinds of
low grades are purely nominal; in the
better grades of goods prices are quiet,
and, perhaps, there is a better inquiry
for some spring styles. There is scarce
ly any movement in goods for winter
uses. Jobbers' prices: Brown sheet

him, and he went out; and, like too
many other sons of rich men in our days,

patrimOny, and WASTED 1t in riotous

and when he was reduced to the most
abject poverty and covered with fllthy

of swine; and, to save himself from

swine did eat. But he came to himself

WHY. the father saw him while he was
vet a great way off, and ran unto him,
and fell on his neck and kissed him, and
nut fine robe upon him, and invited
him into the parental mansion, where
the fatted calf was killed and the feast
made ready. That was the manner In
which the prodigal was received, as we
get the story from the lips of our
Saviour; but when was in New Eng

door against him. Says he, "You vile
wretch, you have spent all your patri-
mony, wasted your substance, and you
are unfit to enter into my house. know

The Toronto Trials-Discharge Of
Another Prisoner.

TORONTO, Nov. 5.-The Fenian trials
were resumed at noon to-day. David
DrumInond was first placed on the dock,
but his trial was postponed on account
of absence of witnesses. Benjamin b.
Parry, boy of fifteen years, was next
tried on the same Indictment as the 9th
ers. The evidence against him was
chiefly from his own statement, when
captured, that he came with the Feni-
ans from Cincinnati, to see his uncle,
crossed with them, got frightened and
was trying to get back to Buffalo when
he was captured.
The prisoners mother was. examined
and gave him an excellent character.
Mr. MKenzie rendered the following
affidavit:
], Owen Il. Moore, of Cincinnati, Ohio,
make oath and say, that l have known
Parry one year. He is of excellent hab-
its, peaceful, well disposed, never engag-
ed in riots or mobs, but q generous, hon
est and industrious boy, held in high
esteem by his employers, Moore, Her
rick & Davis.
GSigned1 OWEN E. MOORE.
Sworn before Charles F. Wilstach,
Mayor.
His Lordship asked if the Crown oh
jected to the affidavit.
Hon. Mr.. Cameron said he had no OBJ
lection to it being taken thes same as if
the parties were here themselves.
After a 'forciblc appeal by Mckenzie,
and a temperate rejofnder by Harrison,
his lordship charged the jury if not
satisfied to give the prisoner the benefit
of the doubt. The jury retired and in
an hour brought in verdict of 'not
guilty." The prisoner was discharged.

Delay I'm she Return OF the Writs 81
Habcas Corpus.
BALTIMORE November SIN the
Court Of Appeals this morning, ar

sioners, announced that the writs OF
habeas corpus had been served on the
Warden of The Jail this morning, and
added that he had Just learned that the
Warden had been at the Court House
this morning, without the prisoners;
that in reply 70 an inquiry made Of him
he had said his means Of conveyance
were expressed, and that he has come
hither to get supply. Mr.. Latrobe
added, in sarcastic strain, that there
were other hack stands much nearer the
iail than the Circnit Court room. he
would not say whethet this was or was
not merely O continuation of the efforts
Of the other side to consume time. He
did think, however, it looked like it,,
Judge Bartol reminded the counsel
that the Warden was not obliged to
make return instantly. The law gave
him three days in which to make his re-
turn.
Mr.. Schley said that he considered that
the intent of the law in this particular
case was that three days should be the
utmost limit, and unless there was I'M
avoidable impediments, he (the War
DEM was bound to produce the prls-
oners without delay.
Judge Barton said that the writs
were issued by him at five o'clock on
Saturday evening, but it appears that
for some reason they were not served
until this morning.
Mr.. Schley begged that the court
would allow reasonable time for the
Warden to make his return and produce
the prisoners.
1880 A. M-The prisoners not appear
ing, Mr.. Horwitz, on behalf of Sheriff
Thompson, said: We have now waited
one hour and half after the hour named
for the return of the writ. 1t was APP
parent that the Warden was seeking
pretext for delay. He therefore, on be-
half of his Clerk, (the High Sheriff.
prepared potion that His Honor would
command the deputy Sheriff to forth
with bring the Warden before the court,
together with the High Sheriff.
Mr.. Schley said that he would, on be-
half of his clients, have similar petit
ton to offer. =,
Mr.. Alexander, the counsel for the old
Commissioners, now appeared and ex-
pressed desire to be heard on the sub
feet. He understood that the warden OF
the Jail was now in consultation with
counsel, and he had no doubt some re-
turn to the writs would shortly be
made.
Msssrs. Horwitz and Schley desired to
know if Mr.. Alexander could inform
them definitely what the return would
be.
Mr.. Alexander said he was not the
counsel for the warden, and could not
say. He hoped and expected, however,
that by one o'clock such a retnrn would
be made as would render any further
proceedings here unnecessary.

How TO FREsHEN SALT FIsH.-Many
persons who are in the habit of cooking
salt fish never dream that there is a
right and a wrong way to do it. Any
person who has seen the process of
evaporating going on at the salt works
knows that the salt falls to the bottom.
Just SO it is in the pan where your
mackerel or white fish lies soaking; and
as it lies with the skin down, the salt
will fall to the skin and ramain there,
when, if placed with the flesh side
down, the salt falls to the bottom OF the
pan, and the fish comes out frcshened
as it should; in the other case it is near
ly as when put in.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-It will be re-
collected that several days ago the ex-
Secretary of the Interior, MIR. Harlan,
published q defence of his sale of the
Cherokee neutral lands to the American
Emigration Company of Connecticut
This morning Gen. Thomas Ewing, Jr.,
replies to that gentleman; denying tina.
he stated to Mr.. Harlan that if these
lands were sold as the lands of the sales
and taxes, he and his friends could
make money out of the transaction.
The main point in the protest of himself
and John w. Wright, attorney for the
Cherokee Indians, against the sale, was
that according to the treaty the lands
were not to be sold at all without APP
praisement and advertisement and COM
petition bids They were to be sold in a
body for cash. The General replied at
length to other portions of Mr.. Harlan's
defence
