The long protracted trial is therefore at an end. The conclusions of the Court cannot be known until promulgated from head- quarters in this city. P SF The Cincinnati Commercial of Tuesday says that duriag the past ten days the Gov- ernment has taken some fifteem steamers at that point, and many more at Louisville, St. Louis and Cairo. On Monday nearly all the beats that arrived were instructed to discharge and report forthwith at Louisville, 87" A letter from this city to Now York says that «the officer of the rebel army captured ott Crarleston, with despatches for Europe, wasa son of George Saunders. The papers found upon him show that the rebels are reduced to extremities. The conclusion of one of the des- Paiches wae, ‘Sond ng aid, or we perish.” &7 Gen.

The Harrisburg Union (Democratic) of Wednesday says : “Stout hearts and strong arms wended their wey to the Capitol, determined that if money could parchase the election of Simon Cam-ron the Judas Iscariots should suffer for their treachery. * * * Happily, a Democratic Senator was clected, or we might to-day be compelled to chronicle one of the most bivoJy massacres of the war; at least that was the im- pression of the Abolitionists her: & Ory or Distress—Imrortaxt De- foeemeie ee pieeaaing fieet has i captu some yer. portaut despatches irom Jee” Davis and his Secretary of State to Mason, Stidell, and others in Europe. ‘Phees despatches give many important facts aud details in regard te the condition of the Rebels.

A CANARD. The city was filled late last night with ro- mors of a repulse met with by fhe Union forces under Gen. Corcoran, near Suffolk, Va. The rnmor is without any foundation, so faras we can ascertain.

It is called * La Serciere.” Victor Hugo calls it « profound and touching,” and George Sund gays it made her sick, and kept her awake a whole night with herror and indignation. ®7 A lot of jewels, vained at upwards of thirty kukhs of rupees, had been discovered in the possession of & common Kahar in Lucknow. hree of the diamonds alone are said to be worth ten ixkhs.
