[From tho London Times, Angust 7.] The failure of the Atimtic cable aud its severance from Me Great Kast’rn may now be cousidered certain, and no cominerciil misadventure of modern times has ever ex- cited nore widespriad interest and deep r i almost national disaster, THE BATLERY CURRENTS OF THE OLD CABLE—WHY v Y ARE AUSENT IN THIS, A fow still hope, and almost believe, that the ship has yet cot hold of the cable, and may haul back and rer ibe fault. Their reason for entertaining this exp is that as yet no battery currents have come to land at Vaiontia. In almost every case where a submarine cable parts beneath the sea its copper conductor pro- trudes beyond tlie broken guita spereba end, and eomds in contact with the ouiside spiral iron wires, fhe action of the salt water ir a buttery of the iron and copper, and y what might almost be mistaken for weak si 0 the instrumonts.at Valentia, ‘These are called imtlery cur rents, and none of these have In the case of the wid Atlantic cable these batter: als kept hope alive fier the cable was gone, for they were soine. times so distinct upon tho needles as almost to speil words, and day aft al the belief that the fault, whatever i and that mes- rage on of the two little ground for hop» trom the absence of th se currents The old cable was covered witi) ove hundred and ewenty-six fine |nprotocted wires woven into eighteea strands of seven wires each. ‘The present cavle has only ten strands of stout irou wire, cach of which ts carofully instlaied by a good thick covering of tarred hen 1 these enclose the guts perch: Whieu the old cable broke, there- fore, metallic contact was certain to be at once set up Detveen its conductor and raged strands of iron wire, whereas the present cable might easily be broken at the botiom of the sea without any battery currents arising, ae jis Outer wires ave almost insulated by the hemp. VAGUE THEORIES AND CONJECTURES. Of course the most extraordinary theories and sur- mises are rife as to the cause of the accident, Some give ‘the benelit of their doubts to sharks, some to whales, wome tonir bubbles inthe gut and others dwell upon the likelihood of malicious injury.

If thix conjecture—for as tit ix only a conjecture—is correct, it will, no doubt, explained by the fact that the ship was then movu @ heavy swell, which required the brakes to be open and the cable let ran as the waves swept astern.

The Joss which bas been sustained by this partial failure of the expedition is estimated at sbout £200,000— aloss whieh, we are glad tw ay, may be considerably reduced by wnderrunning and recovering mueh of the line laid from Valentia. We believe that neither the directors of the AUantic Compeny nor its shareholders have been diskeartoned by the present unfortunate ac- cident, but, on the eonemry, are at ones about to take measures lo replace the ca! le that has been lost, NO CHANCE OF A KBNEWAL OF THE UNDERTAKING yura YYAR, To do this, however, will require wt least three of four months of careful manufacture, 80 that all ehance of a of the undertaking this summer is out of the Te question. CERTAINTY OF FINAL SUOORSS, uy and solid successes of submar' ne tolegraphy, and ofter the tact of this cable being suc- coxstuily lid for ovo-thirds of its length, we cannot cn- iuin a doubt of final success.

Such a rock m ‘on a particular route, but not occur half a mile on r side of it, On the caloulation of chances we might -af-ly reckon On its non-oceurrenee the next time. On the whole, then, we must conclude suecess to be within tho reach of art, and attainable with due care. GREATER CARE REQUIRED. But there comes the diffienlty, A very elaborate favric is to be rendered proof against an incesrant, in winuating and instantly fatal antagonist for the immense length iwo thousind three hundred miles, Who ever knew a house slated without a few faulty slates? Who ever knew a carpet taken up and reloid withont a “tack” or a pebble being left under it? The greatest hnman Vigilanee will nod. ‘The fauit discovered in this cable on the first day-was owing to a bit of wire leftin the tank, and no doubt dropped in the operation of piecing, Such ‘an operation ought to bave been performed in the tank. The tost careful workinan leaves vestig&® behind him. But the vigilance necessary to secure the success of this cable must contiae from the fim moment of the manufac'ure to the last of the poying out. The last is done by night and by day, possibly in a storm, with all the powers of inind andt xhatsted. Many people are incapable of self. control, aud unable even to know what they are saving, after a single day of great and protracted fatigue, Wiat miist be the case of all concerned in paying out the At- ra whole week of it, not to speak of evious anxiety and hard work? POSSIBILATY THAT THE: LAND LINE MAY BE FIRST COMPLETED, Tt would be strange ff, after all, the land should beat the sea; and the Russians and Americans should bave completed the telegraphic wire from London to New York, via Siberia and Behring Straits, before the suc- sof the cable, There can be no question as to the possi- dality of the land line; but England naturally inclines to tie Atlantic voute. Both are only a question of time and money. DEFECTS OY THE PRESENT CABLE.

[From the London Post, August 7.) The oceurrence of these magnetic storms and tbe in. which they exercise are among the most curious cresting problems which science has yet to solve. records which for some time past have been dul tthe Royal Observatory at Greenwich wre slab in ‘esting, and whgn a sufficient number have been obtained to afford dat to judging of the recur- disturbances, in connection with other ul and atmospheric phenomena, they way xpected to afford the most reliable aids for scienti: investigat‘on. Little is Known of the source or the co: stituents of that power or subtle fluid which is termed im or electricity, ORIGIN OF ELECTRICITY. This much only ia known, that it has its origin in the earth, ond that when, from some cause or other, natural or artificial, it ig withdrawn from its home, it rests not till it has returned to the earth from when it came. The revolutions of the earth on its axis, in its motion round the sun, at speeds vastly gy ater then anything known to mechanical forces, are supposed to set up currents of electricity which travel over the earth's surface, and in their coursé enter every svb-tance which is a conductor of electricity. ‘The cop- per wire of anclectric cable is one of the best of con- ductors, and when jaid upon the carth’s surface, or at the boltom of the sea, it would draw to itself a large share of thos? natural currents. To overcome this, in- suation, by means of india rubber or gutta percha, is necessary, but perfect insulation is practically. imporsi- ble, and hence the natural earth currents will be found to intertes nore or less with the passage of the artificial currents cencrated in the battery for transmission along the conductor Tn thes normal condition of things this enrth electric or currents, do not seriously interfere with the working of the line of telegraph, and their re- sistanee is overcome by multiplying the number of cella, or, in — words, mcreasing the battery power to be employed, HOW THE PRESENCE OF MAGNETIC ASCERTAINED. Now it is the object of the Astronomer Royal to obtain records of these magnetic disturbances, and the mode in which it is accomplished is exceedingly beautiful. No mechanism, however beautifully or delicately made, will be sufficiently sensitive for the purpose of making there records; #0 light is employed to record the myste- rious movements of electricity. Two substarites of the nature of which we are wholly ignorant are thus made use of to produc? great and valuable results for science. A bar of .ron is poised at its centre with wonderful aceu- racy. ‘he maguetism or electricity from the earth tends ys to draw downwards to tts surface one end of this utifelly poised balance.

Opposite tothe bar is placed a which revolves once in twenty-four hours, Upon Unis is placed a sheet of sensitive or aliuminized paper. A lamp constantly burning is so placed as to throw the shadow of the iron bar wpon this paper, and every movement, upwards or downwards, is thus traced with anfailing securacy.

To what exteni the interruptions of Wednesday morn- jag may be due to this extraordinary magnetic disturb- ance it is at present impossible to say, but the Astronomer Royal has very appropriately taken the opportanity of calling attention toa continuous series of records, the e which was previously known to but few and which at no distant day will, there is every eon to bell prove of immense value to the cause of ‘graphic se ence, The publication of the letters of Pro- or Airy will, at all events, have this good result, that they will induce persons to pause before they hastily conclude that the Interruption of telegraphic communi- on hecessarily indicates the total loss of an expensive | subtnarine cable, or a system of telegraphic lines, whether aetial or subterrancan.

This important case, which has cansed so much excite- ment, was resumod to-day, The court, as on the first day, was crowded. The foliowing witnesses were ex- amined: — MR. WCARTHY’S WVIDENCE. Wm. McCarthy, eworn—Reside in Rochester; know de- fendant; attended his performance twice in May last; some time between the Mth and 16th; he answered questions for me; he had a larze ante-room about twenty or twen- ty-five feet square; beyond this was another room about twenty feet by ten fect, with a partition through it, half way up to the ceiling; in the outer room there is a table, settee and some chairs; in the smaller room a chafr and some tables; it is used a8 a cooking room for Washing ton Hall; in the inner room Colchester and I sat opposite each other at the table, and another gentleman at the end; the table was about six by four feet; at the insti- gation of the other gentieman, who was a spiritualist, I prepared some questions in my office; wrote them and rolled the paper into little pellets; placed them in my hat before £ went into the smaller room; on taking my seat emptied them on the table between Colchester and myself; defendant told me to write the name of some de- ceased friend; did so; don’t know whether I wrote more than one that time, but wrote three or four subsequently ; the name was handed (o defendant, and he threw it ont of the window, or seemed to do so; he then hei the questions ip hic hand and mixed them up; while writing the name of the deceased, which I did on a shelving, T did not see what he was doing; my back was ‘towards him; one question was, “What business ean I go into to make money?” he told me to go into the ofl business and I would suecced very well (a laugh); the questions were a continuation of each other, but they were not answered in the course in which they were written; the first ques- tion was, ‘Am La married man, and if eo, when married, and by whom?’ answer, “You have been a married man;’’ he also named the place and the church in which Thad been married; the answer was given by raps; to the question, “If Iam not married, will I ber’? the an- swer was, “You will be married to a Miss Stephens, of New York; an accident will happen to yon on your way to Buffalo, and you will meet her; have been looking out for her ever since (laughter); went back to him two or three times after, and the spirits were not in condition; had an interview with him afterwards; wrote the questions and put them in onvelopes; took a friend with me as a witness; three ques- tions were written in a handwriting not my own; he threw out the three and said they were not my own; the answers to the others were pertinent; in response to my qitestion about Miss Stephens he said I would marry a Mrs. Lot—1 forget her name; asked him how he couid say that when he had previously said I would marry Miss Stephens; he replied if 1 looked into the New York papers I would see that Miss Stephens had married a-colunel; did look into the New York pa- pers and found nothing of the kind (laughter); the colonel’s wife had become a widow in two months (re newned laughter); im answer to another question he said positively 1 would marry the colonel’s widow on the 13th December, 1866; defendant also practised the writing on bis arm; first wrote the namesen a paper, then on his arm, A. Kearney and A, Leonard; sid the names were not written in full; they were Catharine A. Keamey and Mary A. Leonard, which he wrote on his arm in full; he then wrote the namo of my deceased wife; they were all correct; the writings were coarse, extending .all ‘the way from the elbow nearly to the wrist: the writing was abont the color of rouge—a duit red; I tried to rub it out but could not; the skin did not appear to be broken, Cross-examined.—Have resided in Rochester twelve months; am an insurance agent; have been so since 1859 ; knew my,companion was a spiritualist by his conversa’ tion, not4otherwise; at the second visit my friend was not aspiritvalist, but opposed to the doctrine; the questions, about twelve or fifteen, were written in my office; took them in my pocket and laid them on the table; don’t know what I said to Colchester on entering; the second time [ went I had the questions written in_my offi don’t know whether I took them out of my pocl third time I laid the same question, in seafSt envelopes, h defend- them through bis fingers; Bpirite, as defendant called them, would not communi- cate; they did to the fourth, and the answers were per- tinent; the answers to things that havealready transpired have proved true; defendant took a pencil and tore the envel“pes open at the end; my memogy is pretty good; did not swear at Rochester that defendfins stuck his Pe cll into nv elo] tore them open and handed them to me; the evidence I gave to the Commissioner at Roch- ester and what I give now are both correct; am not in the habit of taking false oaths; one question was answered that noteven the pencil had touched the envelope in which it was enclosed; the answer was pertinent; wrote the name of my deceased friend on a shelving; my back was turned to defendant at the time, while my friend was watching him; some of the answers were not true, for instance, the Rochester affair. Mr. Cook—Well, you mean your disappointment about the marriage; there are often disappointments in such affairs; you ought to be glad of your escape. (Laughter.) Mr. Cook here read from the witness’ depositions before the commissioner about the writing on the arm, where some slight and unimportent discrepancy appeared. Witness then testified that as far as he could see there was no sie’, rs ae the District Attorney—I don’t say of myself that the To Mr. irit answered me; defendant told me so.

Cook—Will not swear that the raps Tam able to give are the same as defendant's raps; ask me a ques. tion and I will give you some sort of answer by raps. ‘Mi, THRAIL’S EVIDENCE. George Thrall, sworn—Reside at Rochester; Colchester boarded with me a few days; he was engaged in no busi. ness then; afterwards he acted as spirit medium and gave exhibitions; have been to his hal! three or four times; four persons went with me the first time into the ante-room, but none into the back room; I went into the back room once; Mr. Rogers told me to write questions 1 wanted replies to; wrote them in the large room and took them into the smaller; placed le and Colchester took them up; told me to write the name of a person of whose middle name I inquired; wrote John F.

Colchester at Ho Rochester, and had a conversation there; it began abo the spiritual writing on the arm; Mr. Colvhester up- braided me and said that my writing on the arm was ridi¢nlous; that he had never seen a worse writing on the arm in his life, and that he would show me how to produce tho writing on the arm, as he produced it in the seanees; le showed me how to do it after tryii tue experiment, and I found hia out; he performed it first, and I gaw bow it was done; then he showed mo how it was done (laughter); he wrote on my arm John Henry, my two Christian names, which he had beard in the hotei; I perform that in my own exhibition. Mr. Hibbord objected to the question which elicited the last answer, a8 the witness suppresses the method of performance. ¢ Witness resumed—Colehester said to me he did not like the way in which I did the writing; I sald, “It suits efendant then said, ‘Mr. Anderson, [ wili show you how I perform it inmy own seances ;’’ he showed ine (laughter), r. Dart—How did he show you? Witness took a pisee of red penctl, neither hard nor too soft, and wrote it in the following manner; I then wrote it in the following manner (a laugis); he then sa‘, rub it, and the more you rub it the more dis- tinct it will become. The witness then illustrated the performance by writing the word “bumbng’? on his arm, which ho showed to tho jury. Nothing further occurred that evening, it being’ late; met him subse- ently, some time in May or June, at Washing all, when I bade him good bye, teing him that I had jeft with Mrs, Anderson a sealed enyclope to antwor; the envetene was semed with gum and sealing wax: had Jeft word for Colchester to call at Ayer's Hotel, ou my wife;"he went for it; saw the envelope afterwards; con- versed Colehester about it, when he portina lously said it was in his coat pocket; I subsequently saw it on a shelf in defendant’s room ; saw him in the street, whe: he gave me the question, but the answer never caine out right; found the envelope open ona shelf im Col- chester's boudoir at Washington Hall; it was cut open d ite contents taken out; Ihave witnesses to that; the ‘wer wae pertinent to the question, bat never came out right; a weck or ten days after he wished me to join bim in his seanecs spiritual, and Davenport’s fraud (a laugh) dark etreles, in witieh 1 was to. play the spirit, throwing about tambourines, &c., and to instrnct: my wife in spirit Tapping, answering questions, &¢.; he told me it paid him better to call it spiritualism than any- thing eise; never had any diiliculty with Colchester til the other evening at St. James’ Hall, since I came here to bea witness. Mr. hibbard objected to the course of examination. Objection sustained for the present, and witness re- sumed—Haye practised the wick of opening the enyel opes repeatedly; imagine a number of envelopes ina hat; they are shaken np; in doing so it is an easy matter to pass ono envelope up his sleeve; he draws another envelope from the Lop, ‘and lays it on his lap; he now has two envelopes; he then draws his knife through an en- velope, takes ont the question, glances over it, throws it and the answer to the question, and says “There is your question, sir, and here is your ‘answer,”’ and he doea one after the other; Ihave done the same thing often, and have references in my pocket to show what I have doue; the wrappings are done by placing the centre of the right foot to the table, and drawing it rapidly across it, and Iam ready to do so now; ‘have produced rappings without a table, by mechanical appliances, but not by manual. Cross-examined—First made the acquaintance of Mr. Colchester at the National Hotel, some time in May or June; am past twenty-two years; have given perform- ances all through America, except the Southern states; never gave a performance as a spiritualist. in Washing” ton; never gave such a performance with iny wife; at- tempted to expose spiritualism iu Washington with my wife, and did #0; did not fui; from there went to Balti- more; from there to bigger ten) Wheeling, Harrisburg, New York, Boston, &c., and finally turned up in Roches- ter; was in Rochester about ten days before I made the uaintance of defendant; was performing there; was well patronized. The Court ruled this course of examination out of order, when Mr. Cook said he wished to show that there was a fecling of jealousy on the part of witness against Colchester, because the latter did a better business than y f Witness, resumed—Colchester first commenced the conversation about the co-partnorship; 1 ness and his wife and Mrs. Haskett wonld could rake up the whole conntry, and make mi Syracuse, Niagara Falls, Sa and 40 forth, ners repeated the evidence he ¢iven in his direct examination of the parts he and his wife and Mrs. Has- kett were to be taught. air. Colchester, he continued, taught me some of the tips I have spoken At the request of counsel, the wfiness exhibited his arm, and showed that the writing had disappeared. Witness—What do you want me to write? Mr. Cook—I want you write a name I will write ona piece of paper. ‘Witness—I did not come here to perform; I will do what Mr. Colchesier did; he did not perform in a crowd- ed ball. (Witness then wrote ow his arm.) Mr. Cook—Now, sir, you have been four minutes writ- ing that name; will you write another? itness—No, sir, hot on the same arm, over the other writing. (He then took the writing off.) 1 Mr. Cook—You have been six minutes writing that word and taking it off. Can you reproduce it? Witnesa—I can in half a minute. Mr. Cook—Will you write Belshazzar on your arm ‘Witness—On one condition, I will. Mr. Cook—No, sir. You must do it without condi- tions. Witness—Then I decline doing it; Ido it as Mr. Col- chester does it. Mr, Cook—That will do. PROFESSOR MAILIBTRR’S RVIDENCH. John M. McAllister, sworn—This witness deposed that he was of the same profession as Mr. Anderson, and that he had never answered questions in the manner Mr. Col- chester does. Cross-examined—Have known questions to be an- swered as defendant answered them, but such persons were spiritual mediums and not jugglers. MR. MCARTHY YURTHER TESTIFIES, William McCarthy, recalled—I have seon the writing Loe in court by Mr. Andersdn; it iv the saue as Mr, cheator’s, but paler. FORTHYR TESTIMONY OF MX. ROGERS, James Rogers, recatled—1 saw the envelope left by Mr. Anderson at Rochester; saw Colchester open it with a knife and read it; (envelope produced) thig is the en- velope The case for the prosecution closed here. MR. AIBBARD WISHES TO QUASH THR INDICTMENT. ‘Mr. Hibbard rose and referred to the law, which, he said, was intended to meet the caves of persons performn- ing publicly, contending that the evidence did not go to whow that there was such a p qance, within the Meaning of the act, as to require 30; there was no evidence to show that any exhibition was given in any pub- Nie hall, nor any general invitation given to the public to witness such exhibition All that was proven was that some individuals had private interviews with the defend- ant. Take, for instance, the pretended miracles of the Roman Catholic Church, assuring them to be pretended, for argument’s «ake; could they be assumed to be public exhibitions? He contended there was uovase for the jury. Mr. Dart assumed that a pfblic show did not depend on the number of persone attending it, but whether it was gpen to the public. The Court stated the law on the subject, showing that it re‘erred to all public shows given for foe or reward. Mr. Dart, in reply to an observation from Mr, Hibbard, to the effect that fortane tellere may as well be required to take out licenses, observed that, if there was anything in the law describing defendant's calling, as the opposing counsel requires, it should be given to Barnum. For his part, he did not see it, Some further argument took place, which was closed by the Court deciding that the case should go to the jury. MR, HIPRARD OPENS FOR THE DEFENCE. Mr. Hibbard, in opening for the defence, said it was not expected that he should open the case for the de- fence; that had been left to his associate, who was more familiar with the case, but Mr. Cook was too unwell to dogo, The pecabar natube of the statute under which the defendant wae being tried threw on the government the onus of proving that the defendant’s performances were done sleight of hand. He thought he could claim, when the case was left in the hands of the jury, that there bad been a failure to prove that Mr. Colches- ter’s feate were performed dexterity or sleight of hand. Even if the jury s! be satisfied that the feats were performed anything in Mr, Colthester himeolf through any chemical agent, and not by sleight of hand, the defendafit must be acquitted. ARGUMENTS OF THR COURT AND COUNREL. Judge J.C, Chumexew was the first witness called for the defence, upon which an ment ‘arose between the Diatrict Attorney and Mr. Hibbard—the former con- tending that the witness must confine himself to the particnlar feats dgscribed in the evidence for the prose- cution ; to which the latter replied, that the evidence for the defence must embrace the general character of the performances, and not be contned to feular in- stances, just ns an export, on being called to testify to the working of a steain engine, would extend his testi- mony to the general principles on whieh steam enginos work, and would not be required to confine himself to the particular engine in question, ‘The Court adjnuged that the counsel fer the prosecu- tion had to prove that tho feats were performed by sleight of band; but that he had failed to show how they had been performed. In fact, the question seemed to be, whether the prose- cution had to sustain the burden of proof, or the defend- ant to disprove the churge, that he performed by sleight of hand, The discussion’ took a philological turn, tn the course of which (ie Court allowed what bad been advanced by the District Attorney—that the meaning of Fleght of hand was not confined to manipulation, bat referred also to any act of physical exertion. JUDOR CTUMRSEW TRATIF Be Judge Chamesew then deposed that he knew Colehes- terat Rochester; he then resided at the National Hotel; was induced by acierk of bis court to go with him to devendant’s rooms; at the suggestion of the clerk, wrote #< qhestions, rerring to the calendagof the court, on thick paper, whict be placed im an envtope; on getting there he produced the questions, and hid them on the tabie; at defendant's request, wrote the names of de- coused friends on separate papere, Which Colchester took ip hie hands, and moixe them up; at Coleh ster's request, went to another part of the room, and wrote the name of another decensed friend, on reap. proaching the table, defendant said, 1 see two larve A's on your forehead; on handing him the paper, be pronounced the e of Albert Al- dridve, whieh ‘orreet; think, but cannot sweor, that, the paper was in my hand and not on the wole when defendant eaid he saw the last two A's; he then took up each of the other , With the questions, ono by one, drow them through his fingers, and wrote the anawers immediately; at my requert rolled up bie sleeve, when one of the names appeored on his arm; think two namer appeared; visited defendant subsequently in com: peny others; we were all allowed io dov n forsther: did wot pav Much atiention thet ume; simply had invented potatogdigzer ; did not discover any also Mr. Terry’s question ; shight of hand or jugglery. Cross-examined by Mr: Aldridge, in a large 4; am satisfled that he ‘each paper with the questions before answering them. MR, BURTIS’ TuSTIMONY, Lewis Burtis, sworn—Resided in Rochester about twenty-six years; have been a merchant and have re- tired; have known Colchester five or,six years; went to defendant’s rooms and wrote five questions about a patent stove, whether it would be successful; imme- diately on seeing me he said, “I see a stove over your head; said to him, ‘That’s a curious place for @ stove;”” he took questions from me; wrote @ name at his ro. quest; at so, when he took the paper and threw it out the,window instantly, and answered my qrestions correctly; a son of mine engaged in the oil business visited him with me, and auswerod his questions about oil satisfactorily; my son then wrote the name of Lin- coln, when defendant rolled np his sleeve and the name on his arm in red ictiers; I can tell you about a dozen similar instances; wae always sceptical at that time, ond kept a close wateh over def ndant, but found out nothing; the questions all lay on the table when they were answored; I kopi my eye on them the whole time: they were noye of them op-ued; he wrote the answers os fast as he Puched them; defendant's hands were on the table when he wrote the name on his arm; did not see him do the writing, Witness went on to say some- thing about a little girl in i nily,,0 spiritual medium, who told Bim sho had w; non her arm the words, “Learn to form the acquaintance of Mr, Burtis; on another occasion aie felt something like a warm breath arm, aad immediately after these words ap- “Now I lay me down to sleep, Guardian angois guard my bed;”” on another occasion the Free Mason’s square and com- pst anpeered in white charneters on her arm; re- Member when spiritualisin appeared first in Roche-ter; the Fishes and the Foxes were the mediums (laughter); shall I tol you, Mr, Dart, what Ihave expericnced? (anghtor); Mrs. Fish was a'Fox; she married Mr. Fish; (laughter), The testimony of this witness caused considerable merriment, from biz eagerness to givo voluntary testl- mony to irrelevant facie, In the course of cross-examina- Vion he said that at the request of defendant, he wrote the names of about three dec*ased persons on picces of paper, which he threw on the table, and immediately de- fendant rolled up his sleeve, when John Bartis, the nome of his deceased father, appeared on it. The writ- ing, he said, was on the right arm, between the elbow and the wrist. In conclusion, the old gentieman said he vould teli a great deal more; he would do so for the cause, ds spiritualism was his religion, (Loud Jaughter). PRYVESSOR KAWN'S TESTIMONY, Frank Kahn, «worn—Am & magiclan by profession; have been so for several years; have witnorsrd Colches. ter’s exhibitions; called on him because I wished to test his qualifications, about ten days ago, here in Buffato, at the Mansion House. Mr. Dart objected that the evidence should be con- fined to what took place at Rochester. Witness was allowed to proceed—Think I took six questions folded up; presented ono to defendant and asked him to tell me the name of an intimate friend de- ceased, written on the paper, without touching it; as it lay on'the table he said Fannie; as a ician I cannot do that; this was done in defendant's room; the table ‘was a.common one; asked him no more questions, as I was satisiied with what I had witnessed; can produce i Colchester did not show me any Cross-examined—Was born in Ireland; came to thi country when three years old, and lived in Boston about seven; then took to farining, and worked at har- ness making eight or nine months; 1 then went into magic; my age is now twenty-six; have exhibited in INinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Louisiana and New York; Mr, Duval has performed with me at Dunkirk; cannot tell how long he was with me; bave showed with Win. Ray and others in different parts; perform everything in the line of magic; I produce rappings, so as to make them sound on the top of a table; don’t know if there is anything supernatural m it; don’t know how the answers to questions in envelopes are made; thought the answer- ing of the nawe Fanuie was supernatural. ‘TRSTIMONY OF MR. DAY. Lester Day, sworn—Reside in Buffalo; have visited defenaant’s room in this city; went with Mr. Chapman, with some questions; before I'laid the questions on the table he said, “Who's Rachael?” on laying the papor containing that qnostion on the table he annonnced it correctly without touching the paper; he answered three more as fast as he could pick them up; the events referred to have not yet transpired; he told me my father’s name, who is decorsed; ama Free Mason. Question by Mr. Cook—Have you ever received {rom a lady all thes gus of a Mason with your hands under the table? Mr. Dart—That won’t do. Question disallowed, and witness proceeded—I am not a spiritual st, ‘ross-examined—This circumstance took place two weeks to-morrow, at 245 Main street; it was in the day- time, # little before noon; Mr. Chapman was with um did not write the name of a deceased friend; the Racha roferred to is Chapman’s wife: one of the questions was will T sneceed in obtaining the patent for an oll alter?’ he replied, ‘You will suceeed;’? the patent has not vet been granted, therefore 1 don't know whether the answer is correct; I believe in spiritualism, but uot in the manner pretended; believe th.re arc spirits, but not that they communicate with man; the questions lay at Colchester’s left hand, and the paper he wrote the answers on at his right band; he took the questions up with his left hand, pinched them, and wrote the answers; can't tell how he got at tho ques- bal nothing that I couid see indicated how he got at om. Re-direct—As we were goinz away defendant said, “Hold on,” ing my hand; he then rolled up his sleeve and showed my wife’s name written on his left arm; he had to tak the false cuff to show me his bare arm; my wife’s name previously had not been spoken, written or thonght of; defendant had no intimation that I was coming; Mr. Chapman was present watching all the proceedings; as I rose, I had not fairly turned whom defendant showed me the writing on his arm. To Mr. Dart—Wil not swear defendant’s arms were never off the table, ‘The Court then adjourned till to-morrow. MNURAL GRANT SUBPOENAED FOR THE DEPENCHE tiou lias continued and increased. it is believed that the veritict will be in favor of the defendant, the prosecution having failed to show by evidenc: that Mr. Colctiester performs iis extraordinary teats by sleight of hand, as maiutajued in the judictment, Some sper ulation is afloat ar to whether Mr. Cook, defendant's counsel, really sum- moned General Grant, as that distinguished soldi-r's name was called ont on the first day of the trial among other witnesses for the’ defence. Mr. Cook informs ime that he has really subposnaed the General, who bad an in terview with Mr. Colchester; but, he added, if the General cannot conveniently attend he will not attach him.
