Inquest, —An inquest was held at the Lunatic Asylum to-day, on the body of Janies Kisly, an innate, and a verdict returned of disease from general paralysis. Supreme Court. trial •was the all-important topic of conversation to-day; and in order to make roopj for a full report of the Judge’s charge to the jury, we have held over a considerable quantity of local matter.

The Court was proceeding with the trial of Thomas States, for when our reporter left.
