General Flores remained President of the Equator, and would remain so another year, when Rocafuerte is expect- ed to come in, he being for peace. The military of the E- quator are said to be hot for a revelution, or the invasion of Peru, They are anxious to divide the spoils. Doctor Leon, the Peruvian Minister, had become indignant at an expedition having sailed frem Guayaquil for Peru, con- sisting of about 200 men. He protested, and demanded his passsport, which was granted. This leoks like war be tween the two nations.

Court of Cowmon Pleas, Before Judge Ingraham, Jus 3,—William Wilson vs. Christopher 4. Dieven- bocher, Jacob Dievenbocher, and Peter Schwinn.—This was an action for assault and battery, the damages laid at $2,000, ‘The first witness called was John Hammer. He testified to keeping a public house at 107 Washington and that the plaintiff boarded with him. ‘There was tre ing and a squabble on the evening of the 2ist February, in which plaintiff received some trifling injury. The whole of the parties are Germans, apparently respectable. The next witness was John Raynor, a hearty-looking fellow, whose trepidation and mode of testimony created consi- derable amusement. On first going to the stand he placed himself close to the Judge, in asoldierly attitude of atten- tion, with “eyes right.” He ws told to stand farther off, The ancient bible, which is well secured by strings, was then handed to him, and the oath administered, on which he immediately took up his hat and was running away to the seat hecame from, but was called back by counsel, Finally he got settled, and gave his testimony.

Ketchum vs. Isaac Carpenter.—This was an action ofreplevin. The defendant owns the estate 75 and 77 Allen street, the first being a livery stable, and the other a dwelling. In 1939 the stable was let to Corne- 8. Griffin,on a lease for ten years, at $1000 per an- and the dwelling from year to year at a small sum. vious to the year 1837 the stable had been occupied by rs. Sloan, but their stock of horses, carriages, &c. fell into the hands of Mr. Carpenter, and were bought Mr. Griffin and Mr. Heath, for $3700, $3000 of which vas secured by a mortgage on property belonging. to Griffin in Desbrosses street, which mortgage Mr. Car- penter still holds and receives the rents, In June, 1841, Mr. Griffin had become considerably in for rent, and told Mr. Carpenter he must Diy hi pay himself the best way he could, there being then Mr. C. averred, over $1100 due. Mr. C. declined this, the establishment was sold to plaintiff, as he contends, paid the landlord, for some time, $35a week on account of Griffin, Mr. Ketchum, in October last, sold to Mr. Sloan, who removed the horses, carriages, and other property, to 123 Crand street. Three days afterwards they were seized by Mr. Thomas Carpenter, of Henry street, as agent for his brother, (who lives in Westchester county,) on account of rent due by Griffin, but replevined by plain- tiff, the stock appraised at $1373, and suit now brought to test the right of distress under the landlord's warrant. — Mr. Griffin, in his testimony, declared that all his proper- ty had been sunk in the purchase, rents, &c.—that the sale was bona fide to Ketchum, and was made with the concurrence or krowledge of Mr. Carpenter. The jury returned a verdict in favor of plaintiff. For ‘plaintiff, Messrs, Edward W. Bishop and N. B. Biunt. For defendant, Messrs, J. W. Lev and J. M. Smith, The Greele and Beach case, which was expected to have come on to~lay, is postponed. Court of Oyer and Terminer, June 3—The trial of Col. Edwards, for forgery, will doubtless commence on Monday, and occupy, probably, several days, as witnesses from all parts of the country are in attendance. The Colonel has en, a mighty strong team to defend him, vi: Hon. Marshall, of Kentucky, Mr, Dallas, of Philadelphia, J. Prescott Hall, Charles O'Connor, and others. Mr. Whiting, for the prosecution, will be assisted by Ogden Hoffman—a brace of boys fully competent to match all that can be brought against them. City Intelligence.

Steam Ship Great Western. ‘We may expect this favorite steamer to-day or to- morrow, with two days later news from Europe. She runover the Atlantic on her last trip hence to Liverpool, in twelve days and seven hours, the shortest time on record. The Western is the Fashion of the ocean, and can easily beat Boston. Cunard’s steamships must come here. The Foreign News. The intelligence given in this day’s paper, brought by the Columbia to Boston last Thursday, is deeply interesting, in several points of view. A full aecount willbe found in another column. The heart-rending conflagration of Hamburg is accompanied by a plan ofthe burnt district, which will give a correct idea to the reader of the extent of this most awful de- struction, The ravages committed by this fire far exceed anything that has taken plave in modern times. The loss by the conflagration of New-York in 1835 was estimated at $20,000,000—that of Hamburg at three times as much, $60,000,000. Collections and sub- scriptions were made over all Europe for the suffer- ers; and last night a numerous and enthusiastic meeting was held in this city at Delmonico’s, and a large amount subscribed for. This is generous. The intelligence from Paris is also heart-rending. Such a railroad accident far exeeeds anything that ever took place in this country. The railroads in France are generally very badly conducted. What a singular medley of news we have in one day. The conflagration of Hamburg—the railroad destruction in Paris—and the grand bal masqué of Queen Victoria—death, destruction, and dancing, allin one breath. Such are the chequered scenes of human life! Go to church to-morrow and pray. Tue Arvantic Sreamers.—NECESSITY @F SOME Cuance ix rue Tacrics.—The Columbia steamer brought very few passengers to Boston—not enough to pay for the coals, These beautiful steamers are losing all their pas- sengers—and why ? Because they do not run be- tween the proper central points of travel. The New York packets, including also the Great West- ern and British Queen, will certainly run these Bos- ton steamers off the ocean, unless they change their point of arrival on this side. New York is the port they ought to come |to—not by any means Boston, which is a mere out port or outpost. New York is the great centre of all travel and all mind—and all thought, and all business. It is the Paris, the Lon- don, and the Liverpool of this continent. The Cu- nard line cannot prosper unless they come to New York. Will Mr. Cunard take this matter into his most serious consideration ? Meeting of German Merchants at Delmoni- co’s Last Night, in relation to the Great Fire at Hamburgh, A large and highly respectable meeting of German merchants was held last night at Delmonico’s in or- der to concert measures for collecting money, &c. to relieve the sufferers by the late dreadful fire at Hamburgh. ‘We never saw a meeting where they understood so well what real business meant. They had but two officers, Mr. Schmidt, the Consul, Chairman, and Mr. Faber, Secretary. They talked but very little, and that little was said in German. They passed a resolution appointing a Committee to collect subscriptions. There was some differ- enceof opinion asto the number. Some proposed nine, some eleven, some thirteen, and one very handsome man in white pants, said that a commit- tee of fifteen would look better than a committee of thirteen. The Chairman at last put the question, Shall the committee consist of twenty-one ? About a dozencried out “ Yaw.” About six cried out “No.” One dapper little man asked if John Jacob Astor was not Deutch? The Secretary replied, “Yaw, John Jacob Astor’s Deutch.” It was pro- posed to put him on the Committee, but this was not done. The following are named for the Committee :— Theod. Victor, F. 8, Schlesinger, J. D. Kleudgen, Fred. Schuchardt, Theod. Des Arts, C. H. F. Moring, E. Burckle, Dr. Henschel, C. G. Gimther, O. F. Gleim, Gustavus Oppenheim, J. F. A. Bachau, L. H- er, Ferd Karck, Alex. Soltan, Gustavus A. Meyer, Dr. Weissmann, Dr. Geshadt. There was some little trouble in getting the names on the Committee—a great number had a little to say—a very little—and two or three would be talk- ing at once; butallin good humor and harmony, and so the meeting broke up. It was one of the most quiet, orderly, and respectable meetings we ever saw in this city or elsewhere. And every man present seemed desirous not to promote his own views, but merely sach measures as would secure the object they have in view—the relief of the suf- ferers at Hamburgh. The committee is one of the most respectable and unexceptionable that could have been selected. Fon 1x Roope Isianp.—It would seem by the following, that Governor Dorr and his sword are de- termined to have some fun yet in Rhode Island.— We give all the facts we have, and wait for the ex- plosion (From the Providence Journal, June 2—P. M, It is apparent thet the leaders of the late insurrection have by no means xelinquisbed their treasonable designs. Meetings have been held lately in Scituate and Chepa- chet. Lest Wednesday there was a meeting of them at the Centre Falls, in Woonsocket. It was Lane 4 numerous- ly attended, and, among others, by several of those who have publicly renounced all forcible attempts to enforce the spurious government. The fellow calling himself Dwatt, who was inthe iatrenchment on the night of the 18th, was there ; several from this city, Massachusetts and Connecticut, were also there. Our correspondent, informs us that he is satisfied that some serious movement is intend- ed, but how many are in the secret, or what is the extent of their places, is not known. They have so far changed their mode of operation as to conduct every thing with the utmost secrecy, and the men upon whom they immediate- ly rely for the execution of their designs are as much in the dark asthe public. A lot of land had been hired for an encampment in Smithficld, about a mile from Woonsocket, at a place called the Daily Hole, near the Friends’ Meeting House. The place was to be forfeited. About thirty or forty armed men were there last Wedn: ind arrange- ments were made for a supply of food for it that num- ber of men. Their officers were drilled on Wednesday, It is understood that since these arrangements were made, the place of the encampment has becn changed to Chepachet, or another creer ee is to be held there ‘There are rumors that arms have passed through the city for the use of the insurgents, but we can trace them to no mnsible source. Phat the government will suppress this hostile demon- stration the moment that it assumes a tangible shape, and that it will visit with just and severe punishment those who are getting it up, is a matter of course; to dowbt it weuld be to sus] the men at the head of affairs of both ignorance and imbecility, neither of which have they manifested in any port of their conduct. Free Surrrace.—John Champlin, and Bliss Ben- nett, two members of the suffrage party in littl Rhoda at a dollar per day for throwing up entrench. ments, have been retrenched in their liberty fo breaking into the store of T. Remington & Co at Apponaug, and stealing therefrom. Dean Fox.—James Smith, fond of seeing a train of passenger cars dashed off a rail road, has been sent to the State prison in Rhede Island for three ears for obstructing the progress of a locomotive. aa ‘The New York Lancet, The 231 number of this popular medical and scientific journal will be issued at eight o’clock this morning, at the Herald publishing office. The in- terest and value of this work increases with the vublication of every number. Already the circula- tion of the Lancet far exceeds that of any medical ournal published in this country. Numerous at- tempts have been heretofore made in this city to establish medical periodicals, but they have uni- formly failed fronra want of that talent, indepen- dence, and perfect business rangement, which have secured for the Lancet its’ present unguralleled success. The following is a summary of the contents of this week’s number of the Lancet. 1. Remarks illustrative of the Nature, Symptoms, and Treatment of Spinal Curvatures, by Dr. Ricu’p. S. Kissam of thiscity. (The first of a series of ad- mirable practical papers on this most important class of diseases.) 2. Dr. Swert’s fourth lecture on Digeases of the Heart. Reported by the Editor, and illustrated by engravings. A very interesting lecture. 3. Dr. Dermotp’s second lecture on Club* Foot and other Deformities. Reported by the Editor. Dr. D., in this lecture, explains, in a very original and philosophic manner, the causes of club foot, &c. A most interesting discourse, containing much curious matter, and worthy of general attention. 4. Dr. Morr’s Lecture on the Jaw-bones, their Diseases, and the operations mecessary for their re- moval, with an account of a gontroversy between Dr. Stevens and Dr. David L. Rogers. 5. Editorial Article on the State of Medical Edu- cation in the United States. 6. The Clinigues. 7. Original communication from Dr. ALLEN, of Middlebury, Vt., describing an alarming and fatal epidemic which prevailed there last winter. §. Aremarkable case of that curious disease de- nominated Bronchocele. 9. Extraordinary case, by Dz. Kuxrers, of this city. 10. Scientific articles from the French Journals. 11. Foreign and Domestic Medical news. From the widely extended circulation of the Lancet, it presents the best possible vehicle fer ad- vertisers. Price $3 per annum in advance. Single copies 6} cents. Once morz.—The Hon. Tom Marshall held forth once more in the Temperance caus¢ last evening. He was as eloquent as ever, but nothing new. Tom, my dear boy, you must not go the . figure too often, otherwise you will have to join the tongue-temper- ance society. Too much talk on the same idea is as bad as too much drink of the same liquor. Mo; deration—moderation, my dear fellow, in all things, and Harry for next President, if you can. Lare Foreign Parers—Exrress Dispatcu.—By extraordinary expresses, Charles Willmer, and Will- mer & Smith, news agents in Liverpool, received the London Times of the 19th ult. to send by the Columbia.—We are indebted to them for copies, and also to Captain Jackson,the gentlemanly commander of the steamship, for his kindness in the way of late papers. Jor Swira aut ative.—The celebrated Mormon prophet is still alive and “kicking the pricks,” ac- cording to the scriptures. We received last evening the last number of the ‘Times and Seasons, May 16th,” containing another fat slice from the ‘ Book of Absalom,” with an engraving—a chapter of Joe’s auto-biegraphy—and several other pious notions. No assassination. New Warterric Prace at Stonincron.—We un- derstand that Mr. Blake, formerly one of the con- ductors of the Pavilion Hotel at Rockaway, in its palmy day, has taken the famous hotel-erected on the sea shore at Stonington by the Rail Road Com- pany. This hotel cost $100,000, and is one of the most splendid in the country. Arrivat.—Mr. Webster arrived in town yester- day morning and took lodgings at the Astor House. Ile is still there, but will go pretty soon. From Jamarca.—Intelligence to the 13th ult. came to hand last night. The earthquake was also felt there on the 7th ult. in the afternoon, but no damage was done. One million dollars in specie had arrived at Kings- ton from Carthagena. Trade in St. Martha and Carthagena had improved since the cessation of hostilities. Sir Charles Metcalfe had not taken his departure for England. Miss Monier, formerly an actress on the New York Boards, was playing in Montego Bay. Srconp Eprrion oF THE EartuQuake.—The earth- quake made its second appearance at Guayama, P. R. on the 15th ult.—eight days after its first appear- ance. We have already had its premonitory symp- toms in this city for several days past. Ninto’s.—This clever caterer for the public, ever alive to meet the wishes of his numerous support- ers, gives a grand gala, this evening, consisting of the celebrated Promenade Musicale, and a magni- ficent display of fire-works by Edge. The design is to enable the juvenile branches of the community to enjoy themselves. Edge has designed a series of the most splendid pieees, and Woolf the clever leader has made a selection that will please the most fastidious. The beautifully illuminated gar- den, long walk, and Apollo Saloon will, doubtless, be filled with happy, joyous faces. Monday, the Ra- vels in a variety of entertainments, and the gorgeous new pantomime which has created such a sensa- tion. Nowtay’s Prospsct Hi1.—Nowlan has return ed to his famous old locale on Prospect Hill, at the Harlem tunnel. This place is one of the most delightful resorts on the Island to take an afternoon drive to. It ia the highest point of land, and the prospect is admirable. His Hotel is now in first rate order, and his grounds are fresh and ready for company. From this place there is a prospect over the whole island, beyond both rivers, combining the Croton water-works, the reservoir, the East River, and all the surrounding country. The tunnel itself is a curiosity, and every traveller ought to go and see Nowlan at Prospect Hill. Hosoxes.—This delicious retreat is now in full bloom. The trees are dressed in green foliage—the walks and promenades delicious—the Elysian Fields next to heaven—and the sea-shore unrivalled. Go— for God’s sake—go.

Proceedings in Congress and other Matters, A joint resolution was reported in the Senate this morning, ceding the interest of the United States in the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal to the State of Maryland and the cities of Washington, George town, and Alexandria, on certain conditions. The cost of this stock to the Government was two mil- lions andahalf. There was a subscription originally of one milkion—subsequently the government paid a million for the city of Washington, and a quarter of a mitlion for each of the cities of Georgetown and Alexandria, and took that amount of stock. Now these cities and Maryland ask Congress to re- linguish the proprietory interest of the Government in their behalf. The subject was before Congress at a previous session, but the resolution did not pass. The stock is of very little value now, how- ever, and yields nothing to the Government. Under these circumstances, and with the probability that if the grant is made, the canal will be completed, and eventually become valuable, perhaps Congress may grant the application. The other bill forthe relief of Barclay & Living- ston, was passed. The remainder of the morning business was of no public interest. The apportion- ment bill was taken up, and Mr. Crittenden is in the midst ef a speech in favor of the districting proposi- tion. It had been determined to sit the bil! out yester- day, but this provision involves principles and conse- quences so important,that the discussion isnecessari- ly protracted. That the letter of the constitution con- fers upon Congress the power of regulating the mode of choosing members, seems to be generally admit- ted, but that power has never been exercised, and it may well be questioned whether, at this late day, it is expedient for the national legislature to assume it. Why attempt to control the State legislatures in the matter? No evil has ever yet been experienced from entrusting it to the States, and it can hardly be wise to change a system that has always worked well. Gen. Washington once vetoed an apportionment bill, be- cause it contained an obecuane provision. and may not President Tyler feel constrained to adopt the same course? The movement. is prompted by whig politicians, in the expectation of securing afew re) ntatives in the next Con- gress. Possibly such a result might ensue, but is it worth while to deprive the States of the control of their own internal affairs in the hope of electing two whig representatives in the city of New York, one in Cincinnati, and possibly half a dozen others in different Bt of the country, at the risk of aliena- ting the feelings of the people from the representa- tive body of the nation? It is impossible to shut our eyes to the fact, that the adoption of this provision might be followed by very serious consequences ? Suppose a State should refuse or omit tocomply with the requisition of the law—New Yors, for instance—and the House should prohibit her membere from taking their seats. Would the State suffer their exclusion in silence ? Every legislative body has the inherent right to judge of the qualifications of its members, and this poweris e ly given to Seige abi y the constitution ; but under euch a state of things the question would arise whether such omission or refusal vitiated the election. Looking at the matter in this, re of view, it can hardly be doubted that the possible evils growing out of the assumption of this power of Con- gress, must greatly overbalance all advantages con- templated by its exercise. Not one sound or states- manlike argument has yet been adduced in support of the _ proposition. shallow, sophistry with whichjit was attempted to be sustained, was all ex- pened and difpersed by the luminous speech, of Mr. Wright. The und taken by him was impre; nable, and hardly a decent eflort was made to an- swer his objections. The vote willbe a very clo one. The Democrats will go against it toa man; but the Whigs have endeavored to make it a party question, and probably will succeed. v The House is engaged to-day upon the business of the District of Columbia. Mr. Underwood, the chairman of the Committee of the District, a, most le man, has devoted himself amiable and _estimabl A with great assiduity to the matters with which the committee has been charged, and every aes on smoothly and well. The inhabitants of the 1 trict, go upon the ciple of asking for every thing, and in this way they get more Pear! and favors than if they were troubled with a greateramount of modesty. * ntly their requests are deemed un- reasonable, ant Teossre ne copareeehers Bee Con- gs is generally sufficiently liberal. oir Caemeentas Mr. W. Bs. Sevenell of Tennes- see, moved a resolution that the Congress will ad- journ on the 1th of July, but Mr. Underwood said he must object to every thing that would interfere with the rict business. _ . About half a score of witnesses have arrived to testify in the case of the furniture for the New York Custom House. The Committee is an excellent one, and the investigation, while it is rigid and thorough, will be perfectly impartial No honest man has any thing to ay Rogues only tremble at severe scrutiny. No allegations are understeod to have been made against Mr Curtis in this matter, but Sreat wrong is charged to have been practised by somebody, and there must have been a vast deal of caution exercised if the roguery is not disclosed, and the perpetrators held i) to public condemnation. The election of Mr. Mangum as President pro tem. of the Senate, isa strange affair, when all the circumstances are taken into consideration. Mr. Mangum has no aptitude for the duties of the office —no experience—no qualifications except self-pos- session and a certain prom of manner—why then was he selected tie because he was known to be more bitterly hostile to the President— more outrageously violent in his opposition to the administration, sls any other man in Congress.— And yet all those Senators who have been profese- ing friendship to the President voted for him, ex- cept Mr. Merrick, who lacking in resolution to vote for or against the caucus candidate, ran away.— This is a topic fruittul of remark—for the present, however, it 1s enough to repeat what was said by Col. Sevier, in his place the other day, that the Pre- sident has not one political friend or supporter on the whig side of the Senate, ‘Wasutneton, Thursday evening. Congressional Proceedings—Mr. Adams, The Senate have adjourned without taking the vote on the districting proposition in the Apportion- ment Bill. The whigs seem to misunderstand, or wilfully misrepresent the obvious intention of the powers of the constitution, in conferring upon Con- gress the authority of regulating the mode of elect- ing its members. It is a dormant power, designed to be used in extreme cases only, as, for instance, where a State should omit or refuse to provide for anelection. Its assumption now may be fraught with the most pernicious consequences, and it is be hoped that the provision inserted by the House may be stneken out. There was a small flare-up in the House while a bill to emend the charter of the city ot Alexandria was under discussion. Mr. Adams moved to strike out the word white, thus giving to free blacks the right to vote. Mr. Adams accompanied the motion with a characteristic speech, caleulated to irritate every man froma slave State. Mr. Cost Johnson commenced a suitable reply, but he was ly called to order. Certain gentlemen in the House are always ready to encourage Mr. Adams in his vi- tuperation of the south, but when any man to reply, he is interrupted at once. The great age of Mr. ‘Adams, his eminent services and ex! inary acquirements and experience, have hitherto furnish- ed a sort of immunity from a version and cen- gure. He has presumed upon this, and is now the Worst tempered and the , worst mannered in the Hou llisions man in the House. In oc of any kind he generally gains an advantage, because the mpathy the House is with bim, and he has last word. But there who are more than a match for him in aclear field, with no favor shown. His powers of sarcasm are great, and his resources immense, but there are joints in his harness through which he might be pierced to the quick. The ma- nifo! ; “bape have bs pomp Ine to his ancient friends and allies, the fed jist, and his cruel slanders, which they repelled so forcibly in 1828, might be thrown up to him with a withering effect. Ile and his friends will take care, however, that no opportunity is pre- sented for meting out to hin his own measure. He spares no man in his anger, but has never, the magnanimity to stand the retort of those he assails. Philadelp! [Correspondence of the Herald.} Paitavrnenta, June 8, 1842. Complimentary Concert—Hasa man aright to marry his deceased wife's sister—Stocks, §c. §¢. The complimentary concert to Mrs, Watson, came off last night at the Musical Fund Hall, before one of the largest, gayest, and most fashionable audiences, that has heen gathered together in this city since the exqusit: serformances of Signor Nagle. 1 heard the number esti nated atone thousand, The beneficiare was in fine voice nd spirits, and never acquitted herself better. She was sncored in every song, and in most every thing in which he participated, De Begnie and Norton were the great the tact always to have the are several men in. ‘ards of the evening, and how exquisitely and satisfacto- ‘ly they acquitted themselves, 1 need not notice. Both vere warmly epplauded, and the former several times en- cored. The Rainer Family also afforded much pleasure, snd were encored in all their efforts. ‘The only draw sack on the pleasures of the entertainment, was too great ‘profusion of instrumental music. ‘The question of whether a man has aright to marry his leceased wife’s sister, has been unger discussion for the vast two days before the Presbyterian General Assembly, before a large auditory, a proportion of which were la- ties. The facts on which this case rests before the As. sembly are briefly these : Archibald McQueen was pasto: of the Lemon Hil. church, attached to of Fayettevlle, North Garolina, and on the 28d of October 1810, he took es his wife, Mary McCloud, the sister of the deceased wife. ‘The Presbytery of Fayetteville, coneciy. ing this to be contrary to the law of God, eited Mr. M, (queen belure them, and after an argument, the facts being almitted, they decided that the act was incest, and pro- ceeded to depose the accused from the I ministry, both, as they allege, in their judgment, forthe refurma- tion of the offender, and in order to Door church from sucha scandal. From this judgment Mr. McQueen ap. pesled to this General Assembly. The appellant in the case was heard by the Rev. Dr. Krebs, who made a most able as well as fo cura’ speech, running through part of two davs. The wing are the Ieee aes te acdane oo ee eee the first day. He said, lst: We have a right popadcr the question not solely with reference to the con in of faith, but with reference to the enactments of the Bi- ble. 2d: We must not let the opinions of early reformers nor the opinions and feelings of good Christians, nor the arguments resulting from what may be sup] to bethe domestic policy, have any influence upon the court in the decision about to be given. On the second day his argument was aimed to illustrate ‘iy Fees anne points; irst—The judgment of the Presb: is foundedon a dubious and uncertain statute, to a ach ise in the Con- fession of Faith which says that “aman may not marry Say ot nee Riadin’, saares. in ead vel he may of 3 oman of her husband’s kindred nearer in blood than she may of her own.” Second—We are the accused 'y, and it is the duty of the prosecutors to make out the law of the case to clearly as to leave no doubt efour guilt. Third—He should endeavor to show that there was no law in the Bible which prohibits the act for which Mc- oourthy and lat Teat tue punishment ourth, a 0 inflicted is too severe, and bears no proportion to the offence, if offence it be. Dr. Krebs supported these points im a speech of ingenuity and Power, witioheanoupled thetttention of the house for about two hours. After Dr. Krebs had concluded, it was, on motion, en- tered upon the minutes that the parties in this case'had been fully heard. The Moderator then announced that any member of the inferior Judicature te now explain the grounds of the decision, upon which the Rev. Dr. Mclver, of the Presbytery appealed from, arose and spoke to the question. Hecommenced by paying an eloquent tribute to the virtues of the appellant, but he denounced the act for which he had been condemned as incest, and painted in Epving: colors the enormities which, in his ensue, If the act be not rebuked.
