His Honor then inquired if the counsel on elther side had otion to make. Mt Bendy obverved that, so far as the defence was ‘concerned, he had no motion to make, He sup; y however, that the cause would be retained, so tit might go on when the absent juror would be enabled to atterd, The fact was distinctly demonstrated that a jug could be got in this ci'y to try the case, but he (dr. .) was entirely willing to pr with the tral with the remaining eleven jurors. ‘the Court—I will not do that. Mr. Brady—I know cf no ieee! impediment to the ac- cused in any criminal care (he being present) asrenting to such. a course. The Court—That question came up im Dr. Graham’s case, and I know there was a difference of opiaton upon it.

But he (Mr. Brady), with his assoola e a2 counrel for the wocused, would stand by him so long as they présressed the breath of life, It was a master of vital importance to his client that this case should be decided, and that no unnecessary delays should be cast in the wey of ibis ‘ria!

SmRiKE ON THE SixrH AVENUE RaitRodD.—The Crivera employed on the Sixth Avenue Railroad have hada se rious difficulty with their employers. Heretofore they have been required to run six and seven trips per day, thres mea being allowed to two cars. By a new order the compsry require them to run eight trips, one man toacar. To this the drivers object, alleging that they Row work @.even and twelve hours per day, aad the new rule would compel them to work thirteen to fourteen hcurs, and allow no tice to take a proper meal, as they cannot lesve their cara but fur a moment with the one man arrangement. Toey reosive twelve shillings per éay, which they thiok is litile enough tor wht they do. Last Monday, when the new o1der went into effest, they declined to go on the cars, and for a time travel was sua- pended. New hands were got, however, i iately, and no serious inconvenience resulted. Forty-four dri- vers are on the strike, a few only having submiited to the new rule. The strikers say the new drivers are un- if ensed, and that the Mayor has not done whst he pro. mired, in not orcering all those who are not qualified off the platform. The Superintendent says that fine new hor+es are to be put ou in place of the mules now used, aud the eight trips will require no mors time than the reven formerly did.
