Raubb and Peter Kellar, indicted for, aggravated assault and battery upon Mrs. Dr. bake, were resumed. -Several witnesses were called by the a- fense to prove the reputation of the locality in which Mrs. D. was found by officer Raubb, and also to establiSh the good char acter of the defendant Kellar. The evi dence then closed. It P. Mueller, Esq., addressed foll o wed in behalf of the defense, and was by John A. Wilson, Esq., for the Common wealth. Judge Sterrett charged the jury with his ,usual entire fairnesa and impartiality., Re. 'viewingthe fltrizlexiee, he islidtheluty Were "to find, firer, whether the arrest was lawful —whether there was anything in Mrs. Mike's conduct to cane the officer to be lieve She was a " , street walker," thuS jus. tifying her arrest under the city ordinance authorizing-the apprehension of such char= aoteis." - Seclitid, assuming the arrest was lawful, (which his Honor did not,) was there such an-'excess of authority and vio lence as 16 jtiatify the conviction of the de- - fendanta h,f Assault and battery. Then, if the jury 040.tild.lInd the defendants guilty of assault and - battery under both or either of these propositions, theY were next to in quire-whether, from the treatment of Mrs. Dakeat the hands of defendants, she had suffered grievous bodily harm. If so, the defendants were guilty, as.charged, of ag gravated assault and baiteitY:' 'His Honor reviewed the evidence briefly. Mrs:Dake, with her colored servant; went -from - her residence in Penn street to Strawberry al ley, between eight and nine o'iqock in the evening, for a purpose stated by her. In' Strawberry alley she encountered defen dants, who followed' her from thence, on her return; tti'Stiventh street, without, how ever, accosting or speaking to her. Their movements, however, were such as to ex cite her apprehensions, and Ea, entered a grocery for protection, which she there re - quested, giving her name and residence. The defendants entBred the grocery• and shesndeayored to avoid them, passing be- - hindthe 'counter and; , coming through an•. opening near the door where she was seized. She ' again gave 'her name and residence, (as she had previously, in the presence or hearing of defendants,) and told these who held her that they were mistaken. Was Mrs. D. informed'for what she was I arrested? Did she know that Raubb or Kellar were officer-4 ordid they so inform her? If the jury could not say from the evidence that either of these facts appeared, the case of defendants was aggravated. The conduct of the defendants then, was certainly Such as to terrify a delicate and refined lady such as Mrs. Dake appeared to 1 1 be, and her resistance was but natural. Mr. Mueller interrupted His Honor to suggest whether the fact that no violence was required in arresting the colored boy Taylor should not be considered in connec tion with what transpired with Mrs. Dake, or as indicating that the officers used no more violence than was necessary in over coming her resistance. llis Honor replied that a colored boy was one thing and a delicate, refined lady quite a idifferent one. The jury, would con sider what degree of humanity was exercised :by the defendants—what de. gree of force might have been necessary under the circumstances, taking into cone sideration the fact that two strong men were dealing with a delicate woman. In farther summing up , the case, His Honor said that if the jury should find that the defendents had acted without proper au thority, their conduct was not only unlaw ful but outrageous. The Pall retired about noon, and after a very short absence, returned with a verdict of "guilty in manner and form as in dicted." TRIAL OP OFFICER WILLIAMS. The case of the Commonwealth vs. John L. Williams ' indicted for assault bat tery,on Mrs. Dake, was next taken up. The defendant, as stated in the report of the precedes case, participated -to a certain extent in' the arrest of Mra: DAS, assisting in conducting her ,to the Mayor's office, after she .had been brought some distance by officer Ratibb and,lCeltar., Front ,the2.evidence adduced it appears, Williams first-took hold of Mrs. Dake on Smithfield street, opposite the site of the; - new City Ball, at first 'seizing, her quite roughly' by, the, arm atirshe wasstooping to to speak. to some little giris,4lto were upon thn.!radewalk. The crowd allmored 1 for the release of Mrs. D., and a ft er pro ceeding to nearly the corner of Smithfield and Fifth avenue, after being twice request- led, Williams oidered Raubb to take the , gyves from her wrist, and himself took exclusive charge of her, expressing an in tention to take bit fe . the t id*.Aipi(tombs,) but, at the suggestion of a citizen,• Mr. finch, he took her `directly to the Mayor's pine°, whilst Kellar-.proceeded with the tkolored boy to - the fombl. "Mrs. Mike sta ted in ,her testimony that Williams", when, he caught .hold of her, (in a very decided manner& said, he "knew her well," that shit .ixiust, go with:him, and that he was higher in authority than officer Raubb.

I , 'lio Mayer testified that Mrs. D. stated Wil- " Hams had so treated her, and roPeated the= statement. Mr. "Swartzwelder, of ' counsel for, de fense, itiquired of the Mayor whether or -not about the time of the occurrence com ,plaints had reached him of the streets being nifested"with lewd blialactexist jMr. Wood Ward, fir :tjie • ptoftecgtloll., solk ested on the ground of irrelevancy. - Mr. Swartzwelder was aware the ques -tion *as notatrldtly relevant, and lie offer ed it more in defenseof the - Mayor, who had been assailed in the public prints concern ing .his.

Judge Sterrett thought the offer entirely irrelevant, and to admit it, would . be equiv alent to allowing the` Mayor to make a "stump speech" In Court In his own de fense., ~ . , ~, Mr. IlwaitzWeldir Aid" not insist on his offer.

He contended it had been clearly proved'Williams' acted vio lently, brutally, when:be first;took hold of Mrs Dake;and-that his _ milder action sub sisquently'was the result of the clamor of_ the exerted crowd.for the release, of the lady. The ease he regarded as a highly. Important one, in wk.:ich every good citizen had taken a lively interest. The attention of the , public had before been called to the brptal conduct of policemen to prisoners, as well as unlawfully making arrests, and it was time, 'indeed, that a stop should be Tut to these ''outrages upon the person and liberty of the citizen. He character ized the arrest of Mrs. Dake, and her treat ment by the defendant, in conjunction with Raubb and ICellar, outrageous in an ex treme degree, calling for the severest pun ishment known to the law. A weak, deli cate woman, of less than a hundred pounds in weight, had been dragged through the public streets by strong and stalwart men in the garb of officers, and for what? No single act of hers had indicated her to be the vile thing the officers would have her to be. The crowd which gathered on the street, through which site was drag ged with gyves upon her wrist, recognizing in her conuuct that of a lady, called out for her release, until-for' very itiame, add over awed, the man Williams ordered theropes to be taken from her I wrist. ' Repeatedly she had given her name and residence, as she did when first rudely addressed by Raubb and Kellar, who sneeringly said " , Oh! we know you." "f We know all about you," 'and otherwise expressing themselves as if she was, one of the lewd class. "Your mistaken, sir, I am Mrs. Dake, of 310 Penn street," she repeated, and struggled to free herself from..the grasp of Raubb, .whilst Kellar called to his fellow-brute "linci•ck the d— down!" Mr. Woodward made quite a forcible speech, covering the whole grhund, and in conclusion remarked to the Court he took the around that Williams was particepa crimmts in the whole tratiarietion. Judge Sterrett thought this rather broad. There was, however, a very Important t ques tion in the case which had not been advert-I ed to by counsel on either.side; As far as the case stood before the jury there Was no authority shown for the arrest of Mrs. Dakk and so far as the deldenee went it appeared to be' - a great outrage. So, as suming that the arrest was.unlawfal, is the defendant liable for answering the call to assist a another officer without inquiring whether the arrest was authorized or not. This, His Honor thought, was about the whole question in the ease. It was an im portant one, and ho had some doubt about it, Gen. Collier said he had not examined the question. ' • Judge Sterrett eat:messed a desire to have the case in some shape by which the point might be raised. Gen. Collier said he had argued to the jury upon the other point in the case, viz: whether the defendant used unnecessary violence or force in the assistance he had rendered officer Raubb. Judge Sterrett asked the jury to state in their verdict upon which point. they based it. Ist. Whether the defendant usednnnec .essary force and violence. 2d. Whether, when called to assist in the arrest, defend. ant assisted - without making inquiry if the arrest was upon a warrant or otherwise lawful, and conveyed Mrs. Dake against her will to the Mayor's office, or whether she consented (according to the testimony of one witness,) to go with defendant to the Mayor's office, and that defendant took her- there, using no more force than was necessary. The second proposition his Honor re peated he considered of great importance, as it involved on the one hand the public safety, and on the other the efficiency of the police. The iury had not agreed upon a verdict a adjournment.

When the PLANTATIOir BITTERS were first made known to the American people some seven years ago, it was supposed they were an entirely new thing, and had never before been used. So far as their general use in tho United States is concerned, this may be true. It is also true that the same Bitters wore made and sold in the Island of St. Thomas, over forWlears ago; as any old planter, merchant or sea captain doing btOiness in the West indica will,-`tell you. Tt is distinctly within my reoolleotion that on the return of my father (who was a sea captain. and doing .an ostensive trade in the tropics,) he would_ invariably have the Bitters among theithipl stores, and our I family sideboard was never without them. For any sickness, it matters not how severe or trifling, the decanter of tht , se Bitters; by a different name, was always,resorted to as it 'sovereign remedy. ' TELS.T:F.
