Trial of Lyman coie for Forgery. COURT OF GENEGAL SESSIONS. Before Recorder Smith. SIXTH DAY. The trial of this cause was resumed yesterday mera- img at nine o'clock, the day being given for summing up. Upon the opening of the Court Mr. Busteed commenced summing up for the defence. Hoe ably reviewed all the evidence of the case, and clesed at 12 o'clock, having occupied the attention of the Jury about three hours. Mr. James R. Whiting followed for the prosecution and closed, when the Court charged the Jury as fol- lows:— @ J rt = ‘tulate ENTLEMEN OF THE JuRY—I congra’ upon drawing to the close of this important trial. ar a very important eae sotonly to the prisoner at the but for the community. A fraud almost as boom, committed, and you are to deaide whether the prisoner at the bar is the gu’ ty pecon. ‘This prisoner is charged with forgery in the third degree. Now, to convict him, it is not necessary that he should actually write the forged instrument. It be participated with othera in the act, he is with them equally guilty. The prosecution ber f contend that be only acted advisorily im this fraud, Now, the prosecution has introduced Andrew Findlay, who acknowledges himsel( to be a guilty party in this offence. It would not be a safe rule to convict a prisoa- er upon such evidence as this, uncorroborated, aad, therefore, i shall advise you in this c that if tnere is no corroborative testimony of Findlay, it would be ua- safe for you to returm a verdict of guilty, upon his evi dence alone. #ut when bis testimony is corro! then bis teetimopy may be regarded as naf susteined. If, in comnection with corroboratiag evidence on find the accomplice Findlay sustained, you are mand to belisve him: Dow, geutlemen, takiagap this case, we find that Findlay says that Cole and Kissany wore stopping at the Bixby House. Now, do you believe this. If there was mo business between these partion, how did Findlay know that tuese gentlemen were at tho Bixby Hotel withi few momoats after their arrival? Mr. Findlay says that Cole and Kis often together at the New York Hotel. Findlay corroborated by Margaret Handbury, tue chambermaid of the hotel. Findlay says their business there was imitating the handwriting of the checks tat were to be forged. The girl asys again she was im the habit of taking up papers from the flvor. It is for you to aay if this again corroborates the statement made by Findlay. Now, the rl heer is, Findlay eays that when Cole left the Bixby House he took a room opposite the Broadway theatre. That he took this room ia proven by Mr. and Mrs. Farnsworth. Now, Findlay nays this room overlooked the Hospital grounds, and this has been sustained. It has beem attempted to weaken Findlay’s testimony by proving that he never was in this room of Coie’s, and it is for you to asc bow Findlay knew about the sisuation of this room. and that it overlcoked the Hospital grounds, uf he was never there? Mrs. Farnsworth swears he could not come into the room without her knowing it. Now, gentlomen, if Findlay did go to this room, it is for you te ask what ho went there for? ‘There are the onlyycircumstances of corroboration t! particularly bear upon the question in issue. questions are collateral, and not strictly within th affecting the case. If in your minds these facta are suffi- ciently corroborative, then you are to believe Findlay’s teetimony—tben you are to convict; bat if these are not rufficiently corroborative, then you are to reject his teatimopy aitogetber. For the defoncs, gent emen, they have introduced testimony to prove that he has heretofore derze # good character. Now, gentlemen, as regards his trial upon the Martba Washington case, you are bourd not to let his trial there aflect yoar minds here, Upon that trial be was acquitted, and the acquit- tal of jury should be always taken over any rumor of acommunity. Now, gentlemen, if you are not antisfied beyond a doubt of the guilt of the prisoner, then you have a right to fa)l upom bis previous good charac- ter, and weigh it with your douots im his (a- vor, and gtve him the Tense of sa ‘acquittal. This, gentlemen, is necessary whea character (4 beas- ficial in a case of thia kind. 1t bas mo vearing when his guilt is positively shown, but it is eatitied to great con- sideration when doubts arise as to guilt or inaocence Now, gentlemen, you are to give the defendant tne full benefit of the testimony as to his character, that he has introduced upon this trial, He bes shown that up to this time bis character has been fair. Ido mot, tl tolsy down the rules of » 6 judges of the facts. Then, gentlemen, if you believe yond a rearonable doubt that Cole was here aiding and abetting Kiseane and Findley, them he is guilty and should be provounted #0. But if, upon the case you have any reasonable doubts, those doubts are the property of the prisoner. This, gentlemen, is all that I think it ne. cessary to rey to you upon the subject, and you may now retire to deliberate upon your verdict, The jury then retired under the charge of am officer to deliberate. At 103¢ o'clock at night the Recorder came into the Court room snd rent for the jury. It was found ths jury at this time stood five for acquittal and seven for con- viction, and there being no prospects of an agreement, the jury were discharged. Tbe Court was then adjourned for the term. The June term will commence one week from to morrow, when Lyman Cole will be put upon his seccnd trial. Mayor’s Office. THE MAYOR AND THE FARMERS. Quite an interesting scene took place on Friday at the Mayor's office, occasioned by a deputation of farmers end producers from New Jersey, Long Island, York Island, and other places, which waited upom his Honor for the purpose of exposing their grievances to him, and of learning how they were te be remedied. The Mayor heard them very patiently, through their spokesman, who deecribed im a brief and plain inet the object of the interview. He stated that the place allotted for the accommodation of farmers and producers ai the foot of Vesey street was completely monopolized by a set of contempuble speculators, who blockaded the place with their little shanties, thus rendering it utterly impoxsi- ble for them to se!l their produce te the rs or mar. ketmen, in consequence of their ing unable to proceed beyond the water, unless by driy- ing “over, the shanties, which, of course, they could not do. The farmers are, in’ comsequence, compellid to sell all their produce at s very redaced rate to the speculators, who, in turp, sell them to the grocers and consumers for nearly twice as much as the latter woald have t> pay were they ailowed to bargain with the farmers themselves. Another serious evil, aad one of great importance to the public at large, iv, that these persons, when unable to sell them at once, easily keep them over and sell them the next dey, or probably after @ longer period; whereas, if the producers and tarmers were allowed to have direct and immediate commerce with the grocers and consumers, the fermer would have | to sell off their whole stock befor htfall, previous to | returning home. By this means s fresh article, sound and healthy, would be ebtained, and that too for haif the amount charged by the speculators. All they seked wore equal rights and privileges. Nothing was required or sought for but whav his Honor might consicer just and correct. The spokesman said that be had already beem to the Commissioner of Streets and Lamps, but failed to obteim cf amo Some Councilmen also were present at his interview with Mr. Ebling, who in- formed him that ‘for such things of course money was * The Mayor elpreceed himself very happy to see th jayor ex} imself very seo them, and paid that the nuisance complained ad not failed to attract his attention. He admitted that farmers and warketmen were ‘was a very serious matter, amd deserved careful eonsi- deration, The question is, however, how is it ts be re- medied? There is one grest difficulty, he said, aboat'this matter, and that is that the water boundary on the western side of the city bas never been truly settied. ‘The place where the speculators have built is in reality the property of State and net of the sew As Mayor of the city of New York, although ostemsibiy the chief -y department, he had im point of fact control, of but one—the Police, He had. therefore, no authority to act in th» matter, and If he did, he would omly assume autbority, by which be would be breaking the law instead of keeping it. The proper remedy, if indeed there is is the Common Council; who, he thought could ‘no objection to setting matters to rights, when such @ course would so materially benefit the city, In fact, it was bie opinion that they dare not refuse, and if they did, he would himself be inclined to think that it was ‘‘money’’ they wanted, as the spokes nan of Re Syeieten asserted.

The federa! govern: ment had granted te the State 750,000 acres of 1 the purpore of constructing a ship canal around the rapids of the St. Mary’s river The Legislature had passed the necessary law to carry into effect the ebjeot of the grant, snd commissioners were appointed by the Governor to contract for the work. Their powars were omple, but were attended with the gravest responsi- eB, Various estimates of the cost of the contemplated work had been made by engineers, both ef the Federal and State Goveroments, which ranged from $200,600 to $450,000; and the common opinion was, thas the cost could not exceed some $300,100. The fund of 75°,000 acres of land, therefore, was considered, by all, a iib-ral, and, by many, a prodigal, compensation for the work. he pl apecitications of the canal were assigned to Captain Canfield, who was appointed (with the asaont of the Wer Department) as the Engineer on the part of 6 . ‘The plan proposed, it became the daty of the Commis- sioners to contract for the work—and here their reepoa- ities (greatest, perbape, in the outses) bi competitors for wore or les iofluence to advance his or tl siderably lees tuan the entire quantity of 1 —others offering to contract tor ita competi earlier date.

About way (above the Jocks) there is a recess or basin of about 400 feet in length and 155 in width at the top, formed for the purpore of dropping in a vessel or boat, in case two or more should be passing through the cana) seme time. Throughout the whole line there has been more or less rock excavation, bus, for nearly quarter of a mile from the upper cod, the excavation is through solid rock, al- most to the very surface.

Mi. ‘The atock market closed yesterday at prices which correspond very nearly with those current at the close of the previous week. During the week the arrival of steam- ers with later intelligence from the Fart and the West, from Europe and California, caused a temporary aotivity and excitement im the different markets; but they have all since settled down into the usual channels, and move along quietly and steadily agaim. Nothing new has transpired in financial affairs. The arrival of large re- mittances of gold from California hes filled the vacuum cansed by shipments to Europe; and tke banke will, without doubt, im their noxt weekly statement, show an increase im their supply om hand. The steamer from this port, on Wed smount of bullion, bat vy that time we shall probably bave another California steamer in with probably haifa million or more, Our atock of gold is, therefore, likely to be kept up, notwitbs:anding the active exportation. In the otreet money is abundant, far exceeding the de- mand. The accumulation in private hands appears to be going o1 outlet. Quotations for stocks de net seem to be in- fluenced much by this abundance and cheapness of money. It creates no speculation, buyers. It enables holders to carry their stocks with- out bypothecation, amd takes business away from the brokers.

The shipments om the Lehigh Navigation for the week ending on Saturday last, were 37,689 tons, and for the season, 196,966 tons. The Reading Railroad Company brought down for the week ending om Thursday last, 60,269 tons, and for the season, 870,091 tens, against ‘746,809 tons to the same date last year, showing an in- crease of 134,182 tons, Shipments on the Schuylkill Navigation for the week ending on Thursday, 28,183 tons, and for the season, 282,765 tons. The aggregate ship- mente by the three lines for the week, 116,141 tons, and for the ceason, 1,252,722 tons. Dealers, it ia said, do not come forward as freely as they would if they were better assured that prices would not come down. Desirous of buying at the lowest point, care must be observed that shipments ere not checked by delaying orders, and, by thus shortening the supply, increasing prices later in the sesron. The utmost capacity of all the carrying compa- nies, it is estimated, will not more than supply the de- mand, s0 that any interruption, from any cause, will $ nd to increase prices. ‘The shipmente of coal from Richmond for the week ending the 19h inst., and for the season to that date, compared with last year, were as follows:— Suirwnets oF ANTHRACITE COAL FROM RicuMoxD, Pay. 938 : Albany, N. ¥ | Baltimore, Md 295 35 Newburyport, M 70 Newport, Del.. {2,211 Newborn, N.C....... 90 410 New York & Brooklyn.5,601 60 New Haven, Ct. 298 145 Norwich, Ct | Cambricge, Masa, 968 Pawtucket, R.
