In a recent case before the Supreme Court in Criminal Sessions, it may be remembered that the Counsel for the prisoner, (Mr Hayilar, Q..) said that he would very much rather take the safe verdict of not guilty by 6 to 1 than run the risk of having the Jury sent back and perhaps giving ultimately a verdict against his olient. There is no doubt that such a course was a wise one, perhaps a very wise one in that particular case. He said, and his Lordship agreed, remarking that he had seen many cases of the kind, that one strong

The small business done in the previous fortnight in Bongal Opium, owing to the almost exhausted stooks, appears to have encouraged the native dealers to operate freely on the receipt of the month's supply. A good business has consequently been done in both kinds, with but slight variation in the rate for New Patna; "whilst that for Benares has been more than supported by the favorable accounts from the Coast for As the bolow-noted available supply is held chiefly by the large importers, the maintenance of the present rates may be relied upon.

At 7.13 s.m. to-day (3rd) there was a shock of earthquake of more than ordinary which occurred at 2.24 a.m, on the 13th May, 1870. The morning was exceedingly fine, with a light air from the north-west. The barometer had slowly fallen from the 28th ultime when, at 7 a.m., it stood at 30.112, to 29.619 at 7 p.m. on the 1st instant; but during yesterday and last night a rise was noticeable, the mercury reading 29.928 at seven o'clock this morning, a few minutes before the skock was felt.

From China ports the inquiry for vessels has elackened lately and rates are weaker.
