 RATHBUN'S TRIAL-JURY NOT AGREED

 This protracted trial has at length reach- ed a conclusion for the present, as the Jury could not agree upon O uerdict. The summing up was closed at 5 o'clock, on Monday last, when, afterthe delivery ofthe Judges charge, the case was submitted to the Jury, who con- tinted together until o'clock Tuesday mor- ming, at which hour they came into Court and declared their inability to agree. One of their number remarked that they could not determine that there was sufficient evidence to convict the prisoner. At the request of Judge Gardiner, they again retired for the purpose of endeavoring to agree; but soon returned with the same report. They were then discharged

 It is said that during the night the Jury were equally divided. In the morning be- fore their first report, they stood seven for acquital and five for conviction. On retiring, and before their second report, it was re- marked by one of the Jurymen, that nine were for acquital and three for conviction.-- new trial must of course follow. The charge of the Judge was decidedly against the Defence; and yet the Jury, after delib- eration of fifteen hours did not agree upon verdict

 We have not room to spread the whole of this report before, even if all of it would in- tercst, our readers. Among the points of ev- idence sustained, there seems to be the fol- lowing, against Rathbun. Thirty two letters were introduced against Rathbun, nine of winch as published in the Buffalo Democrat, establish almost the certainty that he was cognizant ofthe fogeries It was proved that on the 9th of August while returning from Niagara Falls, in company with some of his Buffalo friends, the prisoner contessed has cog- n'Sance of tue togeries. He, however, re-. marked as palliation, that the forgeries had been carried on for such a length of time, and to such an extent, before he knew of their existence, that after the fact came to his knowiedge, 1t was utterly impossible for him. to immediately call in the forged paper. It was therefore suffered to continue in market. with the hope that before it's character should be discovered, it would be all silently called in and destroyed Apparently distracted Wtn ms multlfarlous engagements, and fren- aled With the apprehension of detection be- fore such result could be consummated, he was running to every part of the union, and Canada, for loans. New Jersey, Pennsylva. mia, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Ohio/ Vir- ginia and New York, had all been secured Tor facilities to enable him to carry on his bu- sincss--pay up his debts and relieve his con- science from the weight of guilt which his connlvance at, if not his participation in, these torgeries threw upon it. Banks were purchased in Patterson and Granville, and established in Canada, to secure this en,l.- Heavy speculations were entered into, for the same purpose. It was no doubt the hope of realising immense profits that would enable him to take up his forged paper, that the Nf- sold.

 There was another important fact develop cd. It was proved that Lyman Rathbun. Howlett-a lad only l7, and nephew of the brothers Rathbun-could, and often did, make perfect limitations of B. Rathbun's hand writing; and also of signatures ofgen- tlemcn who were in the habit of endorsing for the prisoner. The object of this testimo- ny is very evident; and it had effect upon the minds of tho jury. Young Howlett was continually under the eye of L. Rathbun- He kept him in his private oflice-entrustett to him the most important business, and mado him an inmate ofhis own family.-N y. Es.
