During the argament of Mr. ington he was frequently interrupted by the counsel for the defence, who complained to the court of bis m -representation of the evidence. ee Cartter seemed to think that counsel could not at all times eonfine themselvesstrictly to the evidence in a case, especially in the heat ot argument, and discountenanced further ob- ‘ion to Mr. Harrington's speech. ™M brief reference to the letters as written Stokes, claiming that with every other parti of testimony thrown ont of the ‘case they were uncontradicted witnesses of the defendant's tand crime wit rington then read to the jury letters written by Stokes to Hart#ield, showing his connection with eve cases; commenting on them in severe erms. Judge Cartter charged the jury that if they by found that Wim. B.

The jury were respited until this morning. “No VERDICT.” | The jury retired with the case at Wy O'clock this morning. and returned at 2% o'clock this aliernoon. Mr. Swart stated that they had not agreed upon a verdict, and there was no pros- yect of am agreement, as they stood now as they did when they went out. They were discharged.

The observations were in ome of the Indian stations very nearly spoiled by the excitement of the natives, who sel the grass on fire by way of a hostile demonstration against the monster who was eating up the sun; and had not the flames been speedily ped out by the European guard, the smoke might mate- tially have injured the telescopic observations Mr. Maclear, writing from Beka, near Manga- lore, on the Malabar coast, says: “ The rumors that our presence gave rise to among the natives were very amusing. First we heard that partof the sun was about to fall, and the wise men had come to the East to prevent it.
