Judge Tapley gave the case to tlae jury

might seal up their verdict, if they agreed
upon one, and bring it in at two o'clock. to
which time the Court adjourned. In forty
minutes after the jury ha,! retired they had
agreed upon verdict. At the opening of
the Court Saturday afternoon, they return-

The Other Side.

We take the following from the Christian Mr..
ror. 1t gives the other side ofthe Jaffa question
We have never had any. doubt as to Adams bad
character. He is a humbuS and Il cheat, Il
drunken impo-tor that is not entitled to the
least confidence
The Vice Consul at J,tffa gives another and
very different view, from that Of Mr.. Bidwell
which we published last week, of the affairs of
the Maine Colony. more especially of its Elder
Adams. Mr.. Lowenthal U. $. Consul un-
der date of March sd, speaks thus of the
Leader" of the Colony.

creatures to misery and even death. in having

and risk their own and their families lives and
happiness, and he has cheated them, some out
Of all, some out of most of their small and hard
earned property. He and his wife, who is
still more depraYed than himself, never attempt
to alleviate the misery they have caused; they
abandon the needy, the sick and dying, and
those who, by the slightest opposition, or by
their outspoken disappointment and desire to
return TO America. incur their displeasure
they most foully SANDER and prosecute. In his
so-caed sermons, which Adams generally de-
livers when intoxicated, he principally raves
about them, cursing them aud their native land
thus parading them publicly and privately TO
every traveller they come in contact with.
The dissatisfied party, consisting of about 50
persons, are now preparing to return TO the
Chitcu states, but TO accomplish this they must
wait til! ali their accounts are settled with Adj

their plots of land bought by him, things which
have been continually put off by Adams. but

"cu,xaEoE BASE "a married man upon
whose shoulders the nuptial vows sits rather
lightly was up before the Court last week en-
,lcayoring to obtain n divorce. A witness
which he introduced proved too mueh' anu stch

WAR Rt-MoRs The Tribune says We OF
course, do not mean to deny that serious dis
agreement exists between France and Prussia
on the Luxembourg question: that negotiations
of an uniriendly character have taken place
between the Two Courts. and that a very large
portion of the populations of both countries
were exhibiting the most feverish excitement,
and clamoring Tor war. But all this indicates
neither an imminCncc nor a certainty OF war,
and those whose pockets are interested in the
truth or untrutlI Of the Cable d>patchc, would
do well to learn from the exposed blandern2-
of the Cable not to be too haSty in their belief.
