CROSS-EXAMINED BT JUDGE-ADVOCATE. I was somewhat beyond the limits of a drink, and somewhat " solid " in mind while at Wilkes house, and cannot be positive whether McMillen held any conversation with Mary Ann Wilkes that I ditj not hear. The Witness was not in a proper condition a the examination, and the idea prevailed that he was beyond some drinks and very solid. The j court adjourned until to-morrow at 10 o'clock. , - Special Magistrate's Court. "Vhecase of the two women sent from the Mayorjs court went before Justice Conoley im mediately afterwards. : The Justice decided that he deemed that the city had no right to prose cute the acenssed under the circumstances, and he therefore discharged them. $ The particulars in this case are that Belle Ry burn, a woman of the town, died leaving real estate and personal effects, and without an heir. The two women, Amanda Hooper and Delia Ver non were living with her when taken sick, and the woman: having the small-pox was conveyed to the hospital, where she died, and they left in possession of her household effects, which were said to' consist of money and valuables, including clothing. The day before her death these wo men start to Raleigh, and a day or two after the tdwn authorities are informed of the death of Belle Ry burnj and to prevent any loss by theft they proceed to take an inventory, when they find the trunks of the deceased woman broken and robbed, and the parties left in charge of it gone to Raleigh. Some ' statements were made that the aefcused in the above case did it, but it was not proven. The authorities ' at Raleigh were telegraphed to arrest them and they were brought ddwn yesterday by a special officer, and are now set at liberty. Since the above was put in type the mayor has sued out & writ against Amanda Hooper and Delia jVerijon to answer the ' charges brought againsfc them, and they are again in custody and will have a; hearing to-day'at 12 o'clock before Justice Conoley. Mayor's Court, Tbursday Before Com missioner Shackelford. The first case called upon before his honor to day tas that of Amanda Hooper and Delia Joyce; or Delia Vernon, as she is called some times, who were arrested in Raleigh and brought down .to the city yesterday, by officer Hughes, of the" local police. The charges against the parties were leaving the house of Isabella Ry brun while in charge of the same, and taking therefrom her money and jewelry, while the said Isabella Ryburn was known to be in a dying condition, and who subsequently died Jhe day after their- departure for Raleigh. A number of witnesses were called and testi fied in the case, and the wearing apparel, from some half dozen trunks, belonging to the accus ed, were exposed for , inspection, in order that witnesses might identify anything that belonged to deceased. 4 A dress and one or two articles J - 1 1 STL 1 a il J 1.1. were"piCKea out, uui even iney were in uouoi. The unpacking of the trunks and the strewn ca lico about the rOom looked more like a country store than anything else at present in mind. They were sent before Justice Conoley. More Iron. Two colored youths were next brought up for retailing iron without a proper title to the same. They were given a lecture and discharged. And so the court adjourned, his honor leading the way. , Business Changes is the Cut. Kahnweiler & Bros, have just given notice of their opening one of the largest stocks of dry goods ever be fore offered to the people of the state of North Carolina. By a glance at their advertisement an idea jmay be formed of the vast trade in their line that they are prepared for, and which they expect. The next on the list of merchants lately ask ing he attention of the public through tne columes of The Herald is M. M. Katz, agent, who just." removed his stand from the cor ner of Market and Front to the Commercial Bank building, I which, after undergoing suitable re pairs mates one of the neatest stores in the city. Mr. Katz has shown great energy in put ting his business before the public, and there is no question about his old customers and friends following him to his new stand.' ' If low prices and strict honesty is an inducement for custom Mr. Katz1 certainly will get his share. There are others that are now, and others that intend, going m this business in a few days, and if possible it will be a great pleasure to ask the ear of the public in their behalf in the third number of The Ssxday Morning Herald. They all deserve special attention, and will get it in time. . . i , -: ' ' : : i TriE Theatre Last Night. The new com pany at the theatre last night was not greeted by the large audience anticipated, wnich is. readily accounted for by the unpleasant evening, and again the pieces put up, both of which have been played here, before numberless times, and until really the people are tired of them. As to the rendition of the characters assumed by each, it would be unfair to speak, as it is a new company, and tuiused to each other's' acting ; besides the time eiven for its rehearsal must have been remarkably hurried; they only arriving from the. North by Tuesday's steamer.

The Gazette publishes a speech made by Hugh McCuHoch, the secretary of the Treasury, at Fort Wayne, Indiana oo Wednesday nigh in which he gives his views one national finances. He said he was not one of , those who seem to repudiate coin as a measure of , value, and, to make a secured paper currency the! standard. On the contrary, he belonged to that class of per sons, who, regarding an exclusively metallic cur rency as an impracticable thing among enter prising and commercial people, nevertheless look upon an irredeemable currency as an evil which circumstances may for a time render a necessity, but which is never to be sustained as a policy. By common consent of nations grid and silver are the only true measures of value. He favor- i ed a well secured convertible paper currency. J No other can to any extent, be a proper substi tute for com. It is not expected; there shall be a dollar in coin in reserve for every dollar in specie in circulation: this is not necessary. For all ordinary home transactions paper currency is sufficient; but there are Constantly occuring je riods when the balance between countries, and in the United States between its sections, must be settled in coin. These balances are insignificant in amount in comparison with the transactions out of which they arise; and when a vicious sys tem of credit' does not too long postpone settle ment, they are arranged without disturbing the movements of coin. Whenever specie is needed for this purpose, or for any other purpose, the paper currency of the country should be con vertible into it, and a circulation not so converti ble will not be, and ought not to be tolerated by the people. The present inconvertible currency of the United States was a necessity of war, but now that the war has ceased, and the government j ought not to be a borrower, this currency should be brought up to a specie standard, and he saw no way of doing it but by withdrawing a portion of it from circulation. He had no faith in a pros perity which was the effect of a depreciated currency, nor could he see any safe path to tread but that which leads to specie payment. The extreme high prices now prevailing indicate that the business of the country is in an unhealthy condition. We have a circulating medium alto gether larger than is needed for legitimate busi ness. The excess is used in speculations. The United States, to-day, ir the best market hi, the world for foreigners to sell in, and among the poorest to buy.' The consequence is,! Europe is selling us more than she buys of us, including our securities, which ought not to go abroad; and there is a debt rolling up against us that must be settled in part at least in coin. The longer the inflation continues, the more difficult it will be for us to get back to specie payment, to which we must return sooner or later. If congress shall early in the approaching session authorize the funding of the legal tenders, and the work of reduction is commenced, and care fully and prudently carried on, we shall reach it probably without serious embarrassment to le gitimate business. If not, we. shall have a brief period of seductive prosperity, resulting in wide spread bankruptcy and disaster. He spoke of the evil tendencies of the present inflation on the public morals, converting the bu siness of the country into gambling, and seri ously diminishing the labor or the country. Men were apparently getting rich, while morality languishes, and the productive industry of the country is being demolished. He was hopeful that by wise legislation we shall escape financial collapse, and that the currency may be brought to a specie standard without those financial trou bles that have in all countries followed protracted and expensive wars. the court on the 2$th ultimo, It was that of Thomas IL .Cheatef mgajnsi F.

The committee on the consecration of bishops reported a resolution recommending concurrence in the acceptance by the house of bishops of Rev. R. II. Wilmer as bishop of the diocese of Ala bama. The resolution caused a very warm dis- j cussion. Dr. Vinton, of Pennsylvania, said it was a pain ful duly to him to oppose the consecration of Dr. Wilmer' to the bishopries: of Alabama, knowing him as he did, and having partaken of his hospi talities. He then read certain resolutions which had been offered by him at the last convention, and which had been laid on the table, as fol lows : Reiolted, That the house of bishops, concurr ing, this general convention of the Protectant Epis copal Church in the United Suites or America pro nounce the action of the bishops of Virginia, Geor gia and South Carolina, in their consecration of Richard H. Wilmer, D. D., of the Episcopal 8ee of Alabama, to be irregular, uncanonical and schis matical, and that his jurisdiction in the diocese of Alabama is void and of non effect. Resolved, That this preamble and resolution be referred to a Joint committee of this house, with instructions to consider aad report what further action,' if any, this Convention1 ehall take to assert the dignity and , enforce the rights of the Protest ant Episcopal Church of the United States on the premises. He then read the oath required of a bishop, which requires him to swear obedience to the church of the United States of America. Shall there be a bishop acknowledged as a bishop of the church who has not conformed to the oath required of him by our cannons 1 Had we not better wait until the church in Alabama has ex pressed their willingness to comply with our re quirements. . Rev. Dr. Clarkson announced that the letter of Dr. Wilmer, addressed to bishop Hopkins and others, bearing on this very subject, had been re ceived. The reading of the letter was called. Dr. Hare stated that the papers proposed to be read were a letter from Bishop Wilmer to the clergy of Alabama ; the order of the command ant thereupon ; the request of Bishop Wilmer for an explanation of the action of the commandant therein ; the reply of the commandant. The let ter from Bishop Wilmer to tile house of bishops was not in the envelope. Dr. Cullings objected to the reading of any part of the documents in the envelope. Rev. Dr. Harlen stated that if the telegraph had done its work with ordinary speed, Bishop Wilmer had heard of the action of this conven tion ; and that he had expressed a willingness to conform to the requirements of the church. The president, in ruling upon the call for the reading of the documents received from Bishop Wilmer, said that as it appeared to be a mutila ted paper it could not be received, and could not be read. Dr. Clarkson then explained that he had stated that the letter from Biship Wilmer to the house of bishops had been received with other docu ments. These papers had been handed to him, but were subsequently withdrawn. ; Hon. J. B. Ruggles, of New York, then made an address, but owing to the confusion at the door he could not be heard. The discussion on the Wilmer case continued until the hour of adjournment. The convention will not be in session to-morrow, the day being appropriated to the consecra tion of the Rev. Charles Todd Quintard, bishop elect of the diocese of Tennessee, at St. Luke's church. The sermon on the occasion will be de livered by Bishop Stevens, of Pennsylvania. Philadelphia, Oct. 12. The Episcopal Convention met again this morn ing, when the case of Bishop Wilmer, of Alaba ma, was resumed as the order of the day. Rev. Dr. Kerfoot, of Connecticut, proposed the following as a substitute for the original resolu tion : - , .. .

Dr. Vinton, of New York, presented a re port of the committee appointed at the General An important case war tried before the United States District Court, at Memphis, Tennessee, last week. It was that of Park against Hamilton, and its history was as follows : In the year 1862, while the rebel forces still held possession of Memphis, the defendant, Thos. A. Hamilton, was appointed by the rebel government an agent to seize cer tain sugars and cotton, and property of merchants whom it was believed were purchasing and hold ing such commodities upon speculation, in view of the probable surrender . of Memphis to the. Federal forces, and against the laws of the rebel Congress, and the declared policy of that gov ernment, whose officers were instructed to pre vent the undue accumulation of articles of prime commercial value at points as seriously threaten ed as Memphis then was. In obedience to in structions then given him, Hamilton , seized a number of hogsheads of sugar, the property of Dr. A. J. Park valued at $75,000 -and turned it over to the rebel receiver or quartermaster, or with other sugars at thai time seized, sent it south by railroad. . No vouchers were given, but a memorandum was made at the time of the value and number of barrels and hogsheads, and in some cases, we believe, copies of such were fur nished the owners. Dr. Park;now brings uit against Mr! Hamilton to recover the value of the C7 - , i property so seized, n V : I : f ", f On the 28th ultimo the jury came into court i and announced that they were unable to agree i upon a verdict, the case goes over to the next term of the court. ' Another case of importance came up before According to a court journal,''' the Princess . of Wales is a very pattern of 1 mothers t 'It i whispered among the ladies of the court that eve ry evening the mother of the 'future.
