Bradley-asked Mr Smith if at the pre- liminary examination of Keating at the jail be bad not sworn that it was not the first that killed his brother? _ Mr Smith was proceeding to read from his notes of the evidence at the examination, Mr. Preston raised an objection.

After some debate it was decided to refer he question of going on or not to the jury, nd it appearing that one of their number was ill, it was concluded to adjourn until 10 o’cloek to day. At quarter past 10 to-day the prisoner was brought in and the list of jurors was called— all answering to their names. A Corrie called for defence.— Left the National hotel in company with Col McKay on the morning of the affray, and proceeded to Mr. Herbert’s room to see Col. Graham; on the way, Col. McKay stopped at Galt's for his watch, and as he came out he gave witness the time; the time he ga either seven or eleven minutes of 10 o’clock; Col. McKay went to Willard: went over to Herbert's room; when witness arrived there Graham was out; was at Her- bert’s room some fifteen minutes, and Herbert and Gardiner left him to go over to Willards’; this could not be more than twenty-three minutes past 10; Herbert seemed to be ina burry, so much so as not to stop to introduce witness to Gardiner. Cross-examined —Galt’s witness thinks is quarter of a mile from Willards; wasat rt's room before 10 o’closk ; did not see atime piece after seeing the time at Galt’s; it is more conjecture that he was waiting at Herbert's 20 minutes; sup; Herbert’s about twenty minutes before he came down, and witness talked with him about three minutes, making the time about 23 min- utes past 10; Gardiner was in company with Herbert at that time ; waited in the front par- lor below ; saw Herbert come down the stairs with Gardiner; Herbert did not enter the par- lor but walked out the passage and witness group immediately ing of the pistof; a clerk of the Herbe house came in and said ‘close the doors, close the doors;’’ witness stepped out and took @ position with his baek to the readin, room door; very soon Herbert came out an passed witness; his nose was bleeding; some- thing was handed to him by somebody, per- haps his hat; believes it was Herbert in the roup; his impression is that Herbert was ut down when the pistol was discharged; did not see any person like the cook in the group, nor any attempt to separate the par- fies; did not see any hand raised to strike, ex- tthe one with a chair; Herbert appeared ted and agitated as he passed out. Cross-examined.—Did not see the pistol Gred, nor the pistol itself, nor the smoke, ard it fired; there may h been four or five engaged in the conflict; mained in the room until the clerk ordered it closed; saw nothing occur immediatel the pistol was fired, but the drawing out of the | heard a noise in th individual from the group; did not see any blows stricken after the pistol shot; turned to leave then; heard but one shot; smelt no gun- ed he was at Col.

We have never known our city more quiet in every sense of the word, than it is at the presenttime. Owing to many of our leading business men and others having left for the different watering places, to get rid of the heat. dust, and bustie of ity life for & season, and the very limited number of farmers coming in, causes everything in the way of mercantile operations to present rather a tamo appearance ‘Lhe bow of peace seems to have spread itself over the political horizon, and many of those, who, a few weeks ago, ap- peared disposed to make war (political) on all nations and the rest of mankind, have seem- ingly bent their swords into plow shares, and thears into pruning hooks or jack plane=, and have settled down into a very commend- able quiet, which renders the social atmos- Sep decidedly more pleasant than we have ad itfor sometime. In a word, again breath free for a little while at least We had the pleasure of examining, on Sat- urday, the model of a boat and screw prope!- ler which has recently been invented and pitented by our townsman, Mr Jas Cath - @art, for propelling boats on canals and else- where. This propelling power differs from all now in use in one very important particular lnstead of being placed between the stern part and rudder of the boat or vessel, it is placed abaft, or outside of the latter, and by means of a universal joint, situated between the two, which connects the screw or propeller to the main shaft, is made to serve the double pur pose of propeller and rudder at the same time, thus entirely doing away, so far as canal boats are concerned, with the unwicldy radders now in use, and which tends so much to retard the Progress of the boat. It is equally as well adapted to sea vessels ascanel boats This important invention has been submitted tothe inspection of a large number of skillfal me chanics and scientific men, and has, so far met with universal approval. We learn that the inventor intends to test its utility first upon our canal.
