Sir Charles thcu read two letters from General Williams. They were addressed to "jMar Hill' aud re-ferred tu the t'omplaiuti. made tiy the piainlill aud the pledge of secrecy given when he had signed the document agreeing nev er to play cards again had been broken. In reply to tha defendant's counsel's questions, ,r William said he applied to Colonel Stracuy of (he Scots guards ' in January last for permission to retire from tho army on half pay. , lie added that Colonel Stracey. had replied that the fact that tho plaintiff l had signed a document of the nature of the one already described, could not be overlooked. , A letter from General Williams to Cummiug was then read and placed in evidence. It was addressed: "My lear Hill," and its contents were that nothing was left to him, the plaiutilf, but to place hiui.elf unre-servedly in the hands of his t couiinauding officer. Colonel Stracey, as he had done. The le'ter also con-tained the following: "Yon are riuite (he duko of Cambridge?" was the next nucmhm. "lleeidedly," replied the prince. "lJid you desire under the circum-- ' s'auccs to act as Icuietitly as possible out of regard fur Sir William Gordon Camming? llavu yon met Sir William shice the occurence at irouby oourtr' msud h,r Charles. "So," answered the prince. "Aud have you intimated that you cauuut lutel him?'1 "it wuuld be more reasonable not to do so." At this stage a juryman caused a sensal.oa by rising in his place and ask-ing iu a loud voice: "Are the jury to understand that you were banker on these two occasions aud saw uoihiug of Mjo alleged malpractices?" llicpiiiicu hesitated for a moment, as if uudec.ded as to whether be ougnt or ought uot to reply. Finally be said, with half a smile: "It is very easy for a banker, wheu dealing cards, uot to see anything, especially when in com-pany ot fneudo iu a" country bouse. Von do not for a moment suppose that auy oi.e will play uniitirly." ihe juror asked: "Hiiat was your nputiou iu the tune the charges were uailu against thu pi.until!'" To this the prince savagely replied: "The charges made ag tiiisl him were o unanimous that 1 had not auy other course open to oie thau to believe tiieiu." The priuce's answer caused another flutter of excitement, followed by whis-pered comment. 1 he juror apparently had succeeded in bringing out sipiaruly uud beyond any possioie doubt the' fact that thu 1'iiuco of Wales, in view of the evi-dence w hieh had been placed before han ut Trauby Crait by the ladies and gentleman who played baccarat with oir William Cummiug, was convinced of tne pis. null's guilt. Wheu the murmurs of Vstonishment which greeted liie juror's question aud the pi nice answer had subs.ded, Sir Edward Clarke, seeing he must do everything possible to regain the ground which seemed to havo been lost by the plaiutiti in the estimation of the jury said, addressing the Prince of Wales: "1 take it, Your Highness, that tho answer to the first question put to you by the juror was substan-tially that you had not seen any malpractices during the games of bau-car-played at Trauby Craft last Sep-tember?" The prince assented to this and his examination was concluded, lie gave his evidence in a halting, hesitat-ing manner, and seemed very glad wnen liis examination was over. With the testimony of today, the case of the plaintiff closed aud court ad-journed until at liberty to tell Colonel Stracey that you signed the document under extreme pressura and promise of secrecy. Tho witness here said: "1 have never for a moment ceased to deny the accu- - sation made against me." Later on Sir William denied that he had said to Berkeley Levett: "Could ' you not say that you were mistaken?" i! sensation was created at tiii'j point lby Sir diaries Ivtisseil, who, after heal-- iog tuis last. denial from the plaiatiif, i,. remnrked gravely, fixing his eyes steadily upou the baronet in the wit-ness box: "Colonel Sir William Gordon dimming, you will have to be careful." A low murmur of comment passed over the people in court as Sir Charles Russell uttered tbeso words. The plaintiff evidently noticed the etl'eci, they had. for almost immediately afterwards, his manner seemed to lose ome of its jaunty carelessness and be acknowledged that ha had said some-thing of that sort to H.q keley Levett. This caused another sensation and it seemed to be admitted that tho counsel for the defendant had scored his first IB-t- l decided advantage. Tho Prince of Vaie was tho next called to the witnes-- box. The prince g'ave his testimony in a clear voice and with unrullled brow: Ju substance, the prince said "1 have known the plain-tiff for twenty years aud have been his friend for the past lu years. He visited my house several trues. Our intimacy continued unimpaired until last September. 1 observed nothing suspicious in the plaintiffs play at Trail by Croft. 1 was first informed of the reports current in regard to Sir Wil-liam by Lord Coventry. Continuing the Prince of Wales said tho event ithe charges brought aifaiust Sir William) broke up the, party at Tranby Croft. lie. t:io prince, had scaled the document tip, put it in his pocket anil sent it to his Secretary, who was not aware of the nature of its con-tents. The lalK-r- said tho prince, had remain-- d iu a safe place until sent for in connection with the present, proceed-ings. The document imide the packet, the prince explained, was a statement of three gentlemen and two ladies, (.Mr. and Mrs Lycett Green, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Wileon and Mr.Herkcley Levett.) The prince then said: "I did not see any of the live persons in question un-til after Sir William had an interview with me and denied the charge brought against him. When I heard tho 's story several days afterwards, Lord Coventry and General Wiliiauis prepared a statement of what had taken place and handed it to inc." Cross examined by Russell Tho Prince of Wales was asked: "Do you recollect whether, in addition to the three gentlemen referred to, you also saw Lord Edward Somerset and Cap-tain Somerset at Tramby Croft?" Th:t prince replied: "I believe I did." To whom certain statements were made by the other three gentlemen?" asked Sir Charles. "Yes." replied the prince. Had you also been informed that two ladies whom you did not at that time see, had aliened that they also had witnessed the cheating":' T was not." "In reference to this statement." con-tinued Sir Charles, "could you charge your memory as to whether any three gentlemen said anything about with-drawing a portion of the stake aud that Sir William systematically played a large stake on the table when ho won .as ordinarily placed there?" In answer to this question the prince said: "I do not recollect any such statement made." Sir Charles' next question was: "Was a memorandum of the suggestion of yours, or of another's-- in whieh you Acquiesced on the suggestion made by ' Lord 'oentry. "1 was greatly distressed at the occur rence. 1 was present at the interview with Sir William in the presence of General Williams and Lord Coventry, 1 think be.

A Speedy and Amicable Adjnitrant of tht "Olosa 8sason" Oat ot tht of tbt Kwr Tutur. WniNCTOJf, June 2. The state ds partment yesterday made publio the late Salisbury correapondence on tlie Behring tea matter. It begins with a letter from Secretary Blaine to Sir Julian Pauucefote, May 4. In it ho refer to hi proposition, after the ad-journment of congress, for a modus vivendi under which no Canadian sealer should be allowed to come with-in a certain number ot miles of Friby. loff island. Lord Salisbury, fearing1 this might provoke a conflict, the presi- - . dent concluded to proposo a suspension of aealing by both nations duriug arbi-tration, or during the season of 18111. Mr. Blaine refers to the president's) anxiety to receive aa answer before leaving for his western tour,, which answer he did not get. The. silence of Lord Salisbury seemed to imply he would not restrain Canadian sealers from entering behring sea, and as all intelligence from British Columbia, showed sealers were getting ready to sail in large numbers, the president found bo could not with justice prevent ' the lessees from taking seals on Priby loff islands. The president, therefore, In-structed the secretary of the treasury to issue to the lessee, the privilege of takiug the maximum number of (10,000 seals the coming season, subject to the discretion of the special agent to limit the killing to as small a number as the coudition of the herd might demand. Onthe22d of April, Klvne received notice from Pauncefote that Lord Salis-bury was ready to agree to his proposi-tion, and Mr. Blaine telegraphed it to thu president. The latter replied, April 25th, expreasing satisfaction, but in-structing Blaine to inform Pauncefote some seals must be killed by tbo natives for food; that the lessees are bound under their lease from the government to feed and care for the natives, etc. Pauncefote replied, April 29. that he did not agree with the president's sug-gestion aud expresaed the belief that Salisbury would not accept it; that ths killing of seals muat ba cut oS abso-lutely. ' Mr. Blaine then submitted to Paimee ' fote a statement of exactly what terms, " t ' ' in regard to caring for the natives of f - '" Alaska, were imposed upon the North American company, by the lease in ' , , eaorvtks n!n of llvingTacilttie! f.'eU. . education, care oX their hes.lth,. relig. ion teaching, training of the old and ' young in a community of over tares hundred persons are imposed upon the company by a specific article of ths loa.se. If the company, should, as Pauncefote says Salisbury requests, boj deprived of all privilege of taking seal, , they certainly could not be compelled ; ' to minister to the wants of these people . '' for an entire year. Jt evidently re ' . quires a considerable sum of money ta - '" furnish all the requisite supplies, which.1 must be carried 4000 miles on a special- - ly chartered steamer. Jf the lessees aret not to ho allowed payment in any form, ' '. '" they will naturally decline) expense, . no appropriation having been made by congress for the purpose, and tho presi-dent cannot leave these worthy and in-nocent people to the hazard of starva-- , tion, even to secure any form of agree-ment with Lord Salisbury. Behring sea seal life may be valuable, but tha . first duty of a great country is to protect humau life. In this exigency the presi-dent asks that Lord Salisbury conceda to the North American company hs right to tal'e a suflicietit number of seals to recompense it for the outlay, and after full consideration the secre- - tary has fixed the number at 7500 to be killed; that uo females be killed so that the productive capacity of the herd be not diminished. Secretary Blaine then reviews the proposition that the gov eminent, agree to a suspension of seals ing, subject to the above proviso, say ing the president believes the proposi-tions are calculated to produce a resulD at once fair aud honorable to both gov ernments, and thus lead to a permanent adjustment of a controversy which has already been too long left at issue. Ou May 5 Sir Julian Pauncefote re plied to Mr. Blaine, stating he had for-warded Lord Salisbury a copy 6f the secretary's note, and had cabled his lordship tho precise terms of tho pro-posal, The British minister regrets to find some misconception as regards the complaint of delay in acquainting Lord Salisbury with Blaine's second alterna-tive proposal. This proposal for a ces-sation of killing, he says, was originally made to hiui verbally by Mr. Blaine, and he expressed some reluctance to sending any more proposals to Lord Salisbury, while the latter's dispatches of April 15, submitting proposals re-mained unanswered, and suggested it would be more satisfactory if this new proposal (a cessation of killing) wera made concurrently with Mr. Blaine's reply aud it was understood Mr. Blaine was to assent to that suggestion. If Mr. Blaine had informed him thai the president for any reason desired this alternative proposal should ba tele-graphed Lord Salisbury, ba need hardly say he should have at once complied with his wishes, but ho can not call to in uul that tho president's name was even mentioned at that talk, which was merely a conversational ea, change of views, No appreciable low of timo occurred, however, as he quaiutcd Lord Salisbury with the p posal by.mail and received a protuvsj auswer by telegraph which enabled bi4 to inform Secretary Biaine, April t that his lordship was disposed to con aider the proposal favorably. "At an interview at your residence the 2ord of April," continued the minister, "yoa expressed satisfaction at Lord Salis , bury's reply aud stalod that before tak-ing further steps you desired to 'o by telegraph with the presi-dent. At a further interview at your residence on the 87th you informed me lbs president desired the niodus vivendi , '. - t The Reforme 1 Prubyterian Synod. Fittsbi-hiJ- , J ine 2.
