From the Albany Argus.

The trial of general Hull progresses with all the dispatch which its importance & the remote residence of many of the principal witnesses will admit. Mr. Van-Beuren is special judge-advocate and Major Parker assistant--Messrs. Colden and Tillotson counsel for the accused.

So far as the trial progressed, we have not heard a suggestion of any improper partiality on the part of the members or officers of the court: Indeed, the proceedings have been marked with such dignity and impartiality, as to excite universal approbation. The witnesses who have been examined are Gens. Cass and M'Arthur, colonel Van Horn, Major Snelling and capt. M'Cormick. The distinct, circumstantial and luminous testimony of general Cass excited in the audience an exalted opinion of his intelligence, candor and military capacity. It is expected the evidence on the part of the government will close in about 3 weeks.
