CINCINNATI, May 15.-At IIarrodsburg
yesterday, in the Philip Thompson trial
Judge Hardin delivered brief charge. no
table for making no mention OF the point
to which most OF the testimony was direct
ed-namely, the fact that Thompson was
told that Davis had debauched his wife.
The Judge simply announced that il the
jury believed from the evidence that
Thompson acted with malice aforethought
the verdict must be murder In the first de-
gree. II they believed the killing was done
in sudden heat OF passion, and not to pre-
vent great bodily harm, then II should be
manslaughter. He added the usual in
structions about reasonable doubt.
The instructions give no place for de-
fence based on wrongs suffered by Thomp-
son at Dayis's hands.
The court limited the argument OF coun-
sci to seven hours for each side. Hon.
Daniel VOORHEES, opened for the defence
and concluded to-day. lie was followed
by LieutenantGoyernor Cantrell and Ma
ior Morton for the prosecution and Colonel
Thomas {. Bell for the defence. There
will be two speeches tomorrow, and the
case will go to the jury in the afternoon.

10 the Editor Of the Dispatch:
By the side OF our latest mail reports OF

louS 10 record months business here Of
4OO hogsheads, which is about fair esti-
mate OF sales last month. Holders. so far
as tested, were firm in price and could
scarcely be otherwise in face OF western adj
vices. We are not, however, disposed TO
accept the lower estimates put forward by
some correspondents OF 10000 TO 1900
hogsheadS rs the make OF strips. especially
as some margin must be allowed for the
efforts OF the numerous English "travel-
iers =. who have probably not failed TO offer
speciai inducements 10 attract business TO
themselves. We think the outlook for hold
ers oil stock is favorable. although as usual
I'D Years OF large imports the scattering OF
constgnments and the anxiety in some quar-
ters 70 effect carly sales may cause irregu-
larity in prices.
From Virginia we are not encouraged TO
expect any considerable quantity of good
tobacco, either dark or bright; but of COM
mon stcam-drled leaf and strips Lynch
burg seems able TO send any quantity. and
the prospect of returning a profit, or even
cost, on some of this tobacco is at present
rather doubtful. Some sales OF old Viz
ginia "brightS" were made here last
month, hut we are not informed as TO either
quality or price.
Maryland and Ohio are now frequently
asked for, but there seem to be little chance
OF getting much Of suitable quality and
color.
