THE CANADIAN BILL ROBBERY.

Pursuant to adjournment on Wednesday last the
trial of Jacob d. Otis, broker, charged with having
feloniously received portion of the bills stolen
from the Office of the Receiver General of Canada in
July last. was continued in the Court of Oyer and
Terminer yesterday morning. before Judge Noah
Davis and jury. The prosecution represented
by Assistant District Attorneys Lyons and Bell and the
prisoner by Messrs Beach and Howe Judge Davis hav
ing denied the motion of the counsel for the
cused to withdraw the case frcm the jury the
grounds that the indictment was defective and even
If valid the evidence was insufficient to sustain
II, testimony test was then given given on on. the part
4th of July, when the larceny committed, Otis
in this city part of the day and the remainder
ut his home in Orange. y. j. 1t was also proven by
other witnesses that small bills desirable in
making purchases in Canada and that it nothing
uncommon to obtain them in Wall street for that
purpose. This was substantially all the testimony
given the part of the accused. Some few facts
then testified to in rebuttal as to the transmits
sion of portion of this money through the Bank OF
North Americs and with this the evidence closed
both sides. Mr. William A. Beach then summed up
the the part the accused and Assistant Dis
rct Attorney Bell followed the part of the prose
eution.
THE JUDGES CHARGE
Judge Davis in charging the jury instructed them,
matter of Law, that there evidence to sus-
tain the count In the Indictment that Otis was en-
gagged i'll the larceny but on the contrary there was
evidence against such theory. AS to the count
charging him with having received the money know
ing ii to have been stolen the Judge reviewed the
evidence great length. pointing out those portions
which it would be proper for the jury to weigh in
their deliberations and also the weight which they
would be entitled to give to the absence of testimony
by the accused on points where. in their judgment,
an explanation on his part was possible.
After being out some time the jury came into
court to ask instructions whether if they should find
that at the time the prisoner attempted to dispose OF
the property he knew it to be stolen, although he
did not know at the time he received it, they could
find him guilty charged The Judge at the re-
quest of Mr.. Howe instructed them that under the
Indictment they must fnl that at the time he
ceved the money he knew it to be stolen but added,
i'll determining that fact they could take into consid
Grafton all the circumstances attending his mode OF
disposing of it,
Alter some further deliberation the jury brought
in a verdict of acqutta and melton Of his coun-
sci. Mr.. Howe the prisoner discharged from that
court. He still retained in custody of the United
States Marshal however, in the civil suit.

Blatant Bummers.

We have received several letters, says
the n. Y. Telegram, not on the whole
meritOriouS specimens of composition,
intended to reflect severely upon our
recent animadversiOns with respect to
reformed bummerS. a correspondent,
however, is by no means disenttled to
respectful attention merely because he
is bad speller, a worse grammarian,
and an eXecrable penman. We are glad
of the opportunity thus given us of re-
peating what we lately said, namely,
that tthoughreformedb bummers are very
good people in their way, and doubtless
contribute in some small degree to the
population of the kingdom of heaven,
yet the only way for them to secure the
respect Of sensible people is to say as
little as possible about their past and
future careers, their repentance over
the one and their intentions about the
other. Especially should their ostenta-
tiOT5 piety not be fcu-ished on a pub
lie platform. In a mixed assembly
there are always ignorant people who
viii be caught by the morbid flash and
glare of this pandemonium penitence,
and who lose sight of the fact that the
only thing a gross sinner who wishes to
do better can do with grace, is to work
for himself and others and say nothing
about it. Too many so-called reformed
inebriateS ''blow" too much about their
past vileness. Let them have the de-
cency to keep quiet. Then they will
learn in time the exceeding beauty of a
silent religion, which speaks, as the
flower speaks by its perfume.

THE Congo River.

Thanks to Stanley's pluck and energy.
the well founded belief that Living
stones Luaiaba was no other than the
Congo has now been fully justified; and
henceforth the Congo must rank with
the three or four great rivers of the
globe. 1t is to Africa what the Anna
Zon is 10 South America, the Mississippi
to North America, the Yang-tSe Kiang
to Asia. 1t certainly exceeds the Nile
in volume, and possibly also in area of
drainage. Rising in the upland north
Of Lake Nyassa, it flows northerly
through the great interior basin of Af-
rica, until it reaches Il point about the
second degree of north latitude (long.
2i degrees E.l when it sWerves to the
westward, then to the southwestward
until it approaches the coast. Where

spreads out into a broad stream from
two to four miles wide with current
flowing aboUtthree miles an hour. The
volume of water discharged is enor-
nous; Captain Tuckey's estimate
2,000, 600 cubic feet q minute-is proba-
bly, not far from the truth. At its
mouth the Congo is a thousand feet
deep, and the water has been found to
be perfectly fresh nine miles from the
coast. For forty miles out the sea is
perceptibly freshened by the vast vol
ume Of fresh water poured into it. The
tide is felt as far as the first cataract,
l40 miles up the river. In its lower
course the river spreads ont into extern
