Trial of Bernard. --The argument for the defence was continued yesterday by Mr. Lyons, after which Mr. Young closed for the Commonwealth. The case was conducted with ability on both sides, and nothing was omitted by the defence which might tend to a favorable issue for their client. It was nearly 4 o'clock when the case was given to the jury, and no verdict had been rendered up to a late hour.

bjected to interruptions. With reference to the American question, he said that the might and majesty of England should never be impaired and sooner than be one of those who would see the honor and dignity of this country lowered, he would resign all claim to the position which he then occupied, and which he so highly valued. (Cheers.) He did not believe that the men of Marylebone, who had sympathized with oppressed nationalities, and who had aided in turning out a government because in Dr. Bernard's case they believed they pondered to a foreign potentate, would see the flag of England insulted.-- (Loud cheers.) This country had at first been misled by the Northern States, thinking they were making war for a principle dear to us, the abolition of slavery, but it was a mere pretence. Before a month was over our starving artisans would feel the effect of what was after all, but a paper blockade. The Northern States had treated us with open contempt. They had committed a gross outra

rt of persons in them to command them. Now, this came Napoleon tells us that the duty of a commander-in-chief is at distinct from the duty of a captain as the duty of a captain is from the duty of a common soldier. The man to command a fort should not be, we think, the general-in-chief himself. He should be a man of approved courage, thoroughly acquainted with the handling, of great guns.--When he wished to render Antwerp impregnable, Napoleon employed the sughteering skill and talent of Bernard. When he wished a commander for the army in Spain, he selected Marshal Souls, who never was famous, as far as we know, for any peculiar skill in this management of heavy artillery. If we were called on to appoint a Commander-in-chief, and had a soles, among many a of talents, who had distinguished themselves, we should certainly choose that man who, we thought, united in his person the greatest amount of courage and talent. The two, says Napoleon, must be evenly balanced. If a Gen

Tracy did not appear to prefer any charge against him. Hustings Court, Tuesday, Oct. 28th, 1862. --No criminal cases were tried before this Court to-day. The case of "Hagan's John" was appointed for Friday next, and that of Blankenship for next Monday. Henrico Circuit Court, Tuesday, Oct. 28 1862. --The case of Bernard, charged with shooting John O. Taylor, was called up, and a jury having been empaneled the examination of witnesses commenced. As the circumstances connected with the unfortunate affair are no doubt fresh in the minds of our readers, (an elaborate report having been published in the Dispatch at the time of the rencontre, which resulted in the death of Taylor,) we for bear recapitulating the testimony. The prisoner is defended by the Hon. James Lyons and Judge Wm. W. Crump. John B. Young,

ere in their right places, citizens walking and talking ladies apparently and enjoying the novelty of a new excitement. Reports ald the Yankees had crossed below Harp Tan, two had two pontoon bridges, and were rapidly. A few cannon had been fired, but so far no musketry was heard. After spending an hour in exhausting all sources of information in Fredericksburg, I made a reconnaissance on the Telegraph road and the hills above flowison's. The Yankee sharpshooters are in sight between Bernard's and Pratt's. They have impudently pitched their flytents on this side, as if expecting to spend the summer, forgetting it is the unhealthy side. The number across at 12 o'clock was estimated at from five to ten thousand, and about fifteen thousand in sight on the other side drawn up in line of battle. The first party, crossed in boats in the darkness. I hear Gen. Lee sent reinforcements to the point of crossing night at 12 o'clock. The Yankees seem surprised they have been permitted t

Hamilton's house, on the hill above. We hear rumors of crossing below Port Royal and of our army's falling back, &c. Only fifteen thousand Yankees are said to have come over, and they are concealed in a gorge immediately on the river, near Bernard's. Their pickets and skirmishers only appear above the bank. Our troops, up to last night, held the river road, three quarters of a mile from the river and parallel to it. The railroad was our second line, and numberless batteries and countlesspoint above Fredericksburg as the real routs of Hooker in his "On to Richmond" He has two roads out to Banks's ford, where Wilcox is ready to receive him. No Yankees yet reported in Fredericksburg. Barksdale's men are still there. The Yankees are preparing earthworks for guns near Pratt's. Their line extends from Bernard's to Alsop's, opposite Hamilton's Crossing. Our pickets and their's are scarcely 200 Yards apart. One of our shells yesterday scattered a party of officers near Pratt's.

curred about 7 miles above Fredericksburg on the Plank road. There was little fighting beyond skirmishing, the enemy keeping close in the woods. The results I may gather this morning. The fighting Wednesday I hear was done mainly by the 5th and 6th Louisiana, and the 13th Georgia. It was Lt. Col. Henley, of the 6th, who was taken prisoner, with 87 of his regiment killed, wounded and missing. They attacked the enemy near Pratt's house. The 5th Louisiana held the river road opposite Bernard's. An officer told me he thought there were 7,000 Yankees on this side on the bank of the river, who are making earthworks, and had two cannon at least across. On Thursday some half dozen of the 9th Louisiana were killed by the premature explosion of one of our own shells. A wounded soldier who left the fight early yesterday afternoon tells me that Anderson's division engaged the enemy and drove them back. A prisoner told him only one corps had come over. I hear since that four are
