At this juncture a letter was produced by Marmaduke Jobpeon, -, WhO was conducting the prosecution. It was handed to Mr. Jobn Peters. who stepped to the wit- nees and asked ber if she recognized that letter as having been written by her. She raised her head, looked at it, her eyes flashed, and as she grasped it, sho said, ‘Yes, sir, 1 do; that letter was gotten from me by my brother Frank, who told me that it was only to be used in case my husband was taken from me, and it was written for the sake of my family; it was written at the request of my brother.” While saying this, the rapid manipulation of the paper between two nervous hands had staggered the Commonwealth’s Attorney, who turned te the Judge, and in a voice indicating astonishment, said, “She is tearing tw, sir.” Meanwhile she had torn it intoa thousand and threw them upon the floor. A general murmur of applause ran through the audi- enoe, and we caught several times the sound, ‘‘Iglory in her spunk,” “I glory in ber spunk.” Commonwealth here announced the fact that they intended to introduce this letter, which had been written by the witness, ag testimony to contradict her statement, and that trom its present condition they would be unable to so. In order to enable the counsel, it possible, to paste the torn pieces together, the Court adjourned for the day. Domestic News Items. FAILURE IN THR SHOR TRADE.—We understand, says the Boston Traveller of the 31st ult., that the sho@ firm of J. L.

The house is one of the oldest of the kind in Philadelphia, baving with their predecessors carried on business for a | ae of forty years. It is erally sup- posed that the failure will not be a very bad one, though no statement of the cundition of affairs has yet been made. The failure is supposed to have in part resulted from losses incurred during and since that fatal year, 1857.
