Arrest thi> man, he haspickedthat lady's pocket"; 1 said, 41 What lady .'"' the lady | turned round and said, 44 Mine"; I then' t .Id the officer who came up behind me to ' bring Mrs. Moore to headquarters; she re- J fused tw accompany him, as she had an cu. gsgemcnt at 2 o'clock ; I offered to go with her to the Fifth-avenuo Hotel and remain until she fuliiilcd her engagement ; I took ibo prisoner to the hotel w ith her, and vaiu <1 for her : I then and there asked the prisoner where he got the pocket-book ; he said, 44 On* the 1 tot torn of tho stage": 1 ! M Mrs. Moore she must go to lieadquar t > and get the pocket.book, otherwise I could n't give it to her; she came to luakc the complaint with great reluctance. Cross-examination. ? I did not state the fact of his finding the purse on my previous examination; I then swore to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but j . truth. I did not give this material fact, bi ? a- . e 1 wat not asked lbr it. 1 then I 1 ij'c in mind this fact .just stated as to j iv 1 1 he >.?id. 1 was only asked where I j arrested the prisoner, and what was said ; it 1 am i.ot mistaken,! think I told this to the Judgo privately on the day of j il.c as rest. 1 did not then feel under any ! obligation to disclose this fact ; l^searchcd j Mr. W i Hiatus : I found no photograph upon ; hi" pei>?'ii ; I found a lady's miniature in j jiin pori.ct in a red velvet case; (picture >liown to the witness) ; yes, that is the t-ac ; 1 fuiind a knife also ui>on hiin ; it is ] at headquart* is, locked up ; it was not ; very sharp : it wan an old knife. I did not j observe that the prisoner wore a ring; I did not hear him deny having the pocket, hook; he had $62.38 in money in his 1 ? < ket ? I did not find any instrument used hv pick[?ockets or dishonest persons in his ]?H.session ; 1 did not see him throw any thing away. Re-direct. ? 1 noticed his hands when I arretted hhr ; there was a glove on the h it hand ; 1 am sure he had no rirg on either of his fingers; his right-hand glove v.is iii bis left baud; at tho time ol' my first affidavit no question was asked me w itli reference to now matter testified to to-day by me* Ry the Judge . ? I did not hear any ques tion asked by any one of Williams before the an . ! with rcferenco to the pocket book. The priaou< r made no statement to mo when arrested. He only said, 44 Let me j go, and I'll go with you.:' T <T ' MOST BE- DIRECT Of HRS. T HATER. j Mrs. Kinma F.Thayer rt called for tbe prosecution. ? There was a lookinp-glass in the omnibus. 1 saw t ha prisoner before he }iot into tho omnibus, be wuh standing on the curbstone when I first saw him, look ing at the stage, as near a* I can recollect, lie allowed the stage 10 go about twenty feet, when be ran and jumped in without stopping the stage. When ho first got in he seated himself next to Mrs. Moore. Williams was the tirst one \>ho entered the stajre after Mrs. Moore. 1 got in at the Fulton lerrv. So other person sat he. tween the prisoner and Mrs. Moore bo. tween the time when Williams got in and the occurrence of tho loss of the poeket b >ok. Mrs. Moore got in about two minutes before tho prisoner entered. iU'-Uirt'Cl. ? :tiinuc l;l "l t,,w block al?ove Ball a; Black's, on Broadway. Two "persons beside myself were in the .stage alter Mr... Moore, and before Mr. Williams entered. They sat on the lei t hand side. On the opposite side sat Mr. Gale and a lady; on the left there were Mr. Williams, Mrs. Moore, witneas, and an unknown old lady. J never saw the old lady before the occasion. I sat by the door. The third lady was between wit n v> and 3Irs. Moore. She sat almost mid way. There were six persons in the stage alter Williams entered. I think 1 would know the strange lady if I saw her again. No one entered after Williams before Mrs. Kendall and her niece entered. 1 don't remember if any lady got out between the time of William.-. 'a entrance and Mrs. Ken dall's. I saw the unknown lady get out of the stnjre. She got out at Sixteenth street aiid Fifth avenue. After the strange lady got out, and before the occurrence, no one t lx* ?<>t into the stage. I did not see the prisoner take Mrs. Moore's purse. The first intimation 1 hud ol it was when he eu dcavoird to pull the strap; then I heard Mrs. Kendall say, " Give uio tho pocket hook.'; J did not hear Mr. Williams's it ( a. I was where I could well hear any reply ir he had made it. liis facc was not i ward me. 1 rode or. after the occurrence. I <lid not hear Mr. Williams deny having the poeket-book. I heard the prisoner only once a\ked if ho had the pocket-book. At thin stage of the proceedings the pro seeution called a Mrs. Sallie II. Parsons, of Brooklyn, upon the stand, and ollered to prove by her that the prisoner was not innocent as his counsel would represent ; 'hat he was engaged in another transac tion of the same kind the same day. To the introduction of her testimony Mr. J'rvor, as counsel for the accused, stoutly objected, insisting that unless tho lady could testify as to the charge now being t'ied, her evidence could not be received. J"'- explained that he made this objection ? ujj.1) us a matter of law. That so far as ?!'? charge against the prisoner was con cerned lie challenged a full, free, and care ful investigation of the aanfe. He insisted | that y, soon as the present examination should have been concluded the lady be compelled to make a formal charge against prisoner, if she has any to prelor. Justice Dodge.?

TESTIMONY OF MONROE F. GAT.E. i Monroe F. Gale, foreman of the New York Timts composing-room, being cross examined, to*tlQed : I entered the stage opposite the St. Nicholas Hotel; I sat in the right-hand corner by the door ; , I sat there all the time till I got out ; I did not observe Mrs. Moore get iu, but I aaw Mr. Williams enter the stage ; I don t know how many were in the stage after Mr. V> il ' liams got in ; I did not see him take the pocket-book ; the first Intimation I had I heard one of the ladies say, " That man lias vour pocket-book" ; I did not heai him "deny having it ; I did not hear lum say anything about it, except when Mrs. Moore made the demand he said, "I will to you if you let me ro ; I did not see Mrs. Moore take Mr. Williams's hat trom his head ; after the first intimation till its flnal conclusion I was not obser\ant ol i what transpired in the stage.

The quantity of yarn used for otheij^ian manufacturing purposes, if any, would be so small, and so difficult to ascertain, as to be hardly worth taxing.

Since onr last report on the tobacco mar ket, under date 2d ultimo, no mitigation ! has occurred in the stagnation which has , so long characterised the trade. The requirements of manufacturers have i necessitated purchases to some extent ; ge nerally speaking, however, they have been by retail only, and confined to selections j of old stock, to which alone our quotations J at present exclusively refer. Sufficient progress has now been made with sampling to confirm the unfavorable I expectations of the general quality of the ' last import. The tobacco, as a rule, is imperfectly cured, and being deficient i alike in substance, color, and flavor, it has yet to be seen on what terms the bulk of it | will enter into the consumption of this | country.

'8 CIBCd-AR ] Liverpool, November 1st. The improvement in the trade demand noticed in our last circular has been well maintained up to the present time, and from our home manufacturers we have to record a pretty general inquiry, with trans actions on somewhat a larger scale. For Ireland and Scotland the business has been moderate, and principally done by dealers within the past week ; for exportation also, sales have been but limiK'd, the African trade being very quiet. Fine old leafy western strips have been in request, and command comparatively high rates, the general inferiority of the new import indu cing manufacturers rather to secure in an. ticipation their future requirements. Me dium grades of both new and previous crops are, if anything, slightly lower, whilst the value of some of the new com. mon is entirely nominal, being of doubtful suitability for duty purposes. Dry west ern leaf, possessing color and freo from gum, has been wanted ; and this descrip tion becoming scarcc, rather better prices have been obtained for selections; parcels, however, of the usual assortments must be quoted decidedly cheaper. In export leaf there is little change observable. Virginia leaf and strips continue to bo taken spar ingly for consumption ; the stock being mostly old stale tobacco, oilers little induce ments to manufacturers, but when some fresh comes to market we hope to tind it meet more favor with all our customers.
