SECOND DAY'S PROCEEDINGS-TUESDAY. This morning, at nine, the proceedings in this case were resumed. The first witness was Mr. Joshua Ellis manufacturer, of Dewsbury, who gave it as his opinion that the garter, and the piece produced yesterday, were not of the same manufacture ; one was a little wider than the other, and the spinning of the yarn was finer. There was not much difference in the material.  Various witnesses were examined, and gave the same evidence as before the coroner's inquest and the magistrates, all of which has been published, and need not be repeated. John Noble, jailer of York Castle, stated that the day after Mr. Watts, attorney, visited M`Cabe, Reid sent for witness, and seemed to wish to know what had passed between M`Cabe and his lawyer. Ile asked if I knew. Told him I did not. He hesitated a good deal, and said something. I said the public believed that two men could not do it. I also said that the police were after two other men. I think it right to say that I did not caution him, for 1 did not expect to be called on as a witness. He then said (but I cannot recollect the precise words) to the effect, "There was none in it, or none knew of it, but them two." I did not put the words down, and cannot be sure of the words. One said he used the word 0 them." My "impression" was, he meant "them" two-M'Cabe and himself. Ile said, " Us two."—Cross-exantined: Will not swear that those were the words used; for it is possible that I may have been mistaken in their import. This was the case for the prosecution. There were no witnesses called for the prisoner. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS then addressed the jury at great length for the defence, speaking for nearly three hours, and having in that space of time a great number and variety of adverse facts to - contend with. His Loansute had not gone through all the evidence until nearly six o'clock in the evening. The jury, having remained in their retiring room until nearly nine o'clock, sent word to say that they desired to asks question' and they then came into court. The Foreman, holding a paper in his hand, said, that they had a question which they would request his Lordship to read. The learned JUDGE declined to take the paper, observing that they bad better state it from the box. • The Foreman then said that they were desirous of being informed whether, if they acquitted the prisoner, lie could again be tried on the charge of murdering the two women if additional evidence should be obtained? They did not think the evidence sufficient. His Lomisitte declined answering that, and told the jury that it was a question with which they could not with propriety be ! engaged in the ease now under their consideration. The Foreman said, "'[hen, my Lord, I think we shall never be agreed at all." Ills LOKI/SNIP regretted their difficulty, but said that he was , apprehensive that they had been under some mistake upon the point, because they were not now to consider the case in reference to the two women. They were only trying the prisoner on one charge. The Foreman then exclaimed that they should be agreed at once. 1 They then went back into their room for a very few minutes, and returning into court announced their verdict—not guilty.  We understand that the Government have proposed to the Court of Directors the Earl of Dalhousie as GovernorGeneral of India, and Sir'llenry Pottingcr as Governor of Madras. Sir Denis Le Marchant (who succeeds Sir Win. Somerville as Under Secretary of State) entered upon his official duties at the Home-office on Saturday last.
