THE NEW YORK HERALD. Very Late from the Seat of War—Military Movements. {From Mobile Herald, Sept. 3 The Creole, Capt. Heirn, arrived here this morning, in sixty-two hours from Aransas Bay, whither she trans- ported the troops lately stationed at Pensacola, She left Aransas on Sunday evening, the 3ist ult. From the officers of the Creole and passengers, who left Gon. Taylor's camp on Saturday evening last, we learn that up to the time of their departure nothing had boon sean of the Mexican army, nor Were any ofits move- ments known. Several Mexican traders had arrived at Keuny’s Ranche, near Corpus Christi, who brought va- rious rumors, to the effect that Arista had entirely reco- vered from his late illness, and had taken up his line of march, with aconsiderable force, to attack Gen. Taylor. Other reports, again, represent Arista as still being at Matamoros, collecting his men together. The Creole passed, at sea, the steam-propeller Angus. ! ta, twenty hours out from New Orleans.

Go. ‘od health prevails in Gen. Taylor’a camp, and the | fire represented as being in a high state of dis- | cipline, and eager for an engagement with the Mexicans. | The Mexican schooner Joaguina, arrived at New | Orleans on the 3lst ult. from Tampico, whence she sailed on the 22d ult. She brought a goodly quan- tity of rumors, and the Diario del Gobierno of the 12th August. We learn that President Herrera has been reluctantly compelled to accept the resignation of his late Ministers, L. G. Cuevas, State Department ; Mariano Riva tice ; Luis de la Rosa, Treasury ; and Garcia ar Department. ‘his ‘intelligence the Presi- the Chambers on the 11th of the highest regard for th» talents, integrity and patriotism of the late Ministry. No definite cau for the tion and its reluctant acceptance is assigned, unk in allusion to ‘existing difficulties.” In th till he can organize an entitely rew ministry, pointed a provisional one, consisting of Jose Mai and Juan qquez de Leon for the portfolios of Justice and War, whilo the duties of both the State and ‘Treasury departments devolve upon Jose Maria Mouas- terio. Through the latter functionary, the Presidont communicated the change of ministry to Congress. ‘The same day thatthe announcement of the change was made, the oficial journal contained a communication from Sr Monasterio, thanking the ex ministers in the name of the President forthe able manner in which they had discharged the duties of their several departments. It is believed that a permanent ministry will not be formed until the result of the Presidential election is known. On this last subject, Capt. Gormez brings a ru- mor current at Tampico that G Herrera has been suceessful in the elections, but thisis only a rumer. We have nota word by this arrival as to thaaction of Congress upon the propositions submitted to it on the 2lat of July, in regard tothe fifteen million loan. It is conjectured by some that the dilatoriness of Congress to accede to ail the war demands ot the Administration, led to the resignation of the Ministers. | And now afew words as to the military designs of Mexico. [tis stated by Capt. Gormez, that it was re- ported in Tampico, that 1500 men from the intenior wore | on their march to join Paredes. With his forces, which would then amount to 3500 men, according to this rumor, Paredes was to move upon Texas, striking the Rio Grande as highupas the Bexar country. Gen. Arista, ‘with his 3000 men, wasto proceed boldly and directly to Sen. Taylor in his encampment at Corpus Christi. |, moreover, that Arista has employed emissa. ries to Texas to tamper with the slaves, and that he hopes to render them effective in the promotion of his jians. How confident he is of success, the reader may judge from an address to his troops, which appeared in the Diario of the 12th ultimo, together with an appeal to the inhabitants of Coahuila, Nueva Leon and Tamauli pas. ‘The latter document was intended merely to stir up the inhabitants to arma ; but the address to his troops isa more formidable affair, and we copy it as we find it translated in the Courier. ‘If Arista’s troops fight a quar- ter as bravely as he talks, alas fer the honor of American Conde, dent Communicated to August, with expressions ‘omrades : ‘The Suprome Executive has sent to me express tho news that the United States, in pursuance their ambitious views, baving leak seasion of the declaration of b ot Department of Texas, he had demande war from the Congress against that unjust nation.

Captein Gormez reports, that it was rumored] that General Herrera was elected: President, and that there had been seven emissaries sont from Mexico to Texas, for the purpose of obtaining the assistance of the negroes of Texas in the war; that one of the emissaries had re- | turned to Mexico, and stated that they had succeeded in | their mission. It was also rumored, that 1500 men were | marching from the interior to join General Paredes, who had under his command 2000 men, making his force 3500; that they were on their march to Monterey. Those who | had faith in the truth of this rumor, thought that they were to tako that route to Texas, for the purpose of making an attack on Galveston. Another rumor was in circulation, that there were about 6500 men under Gen Arista, at or near Matamoras, who wouid certainly attack | General Taylor on the Rio Grande. The Courier finds the aubjoined in the Vera Cruzana: “Passegers, arrived yesterday, report that the depar mont was ina complete state of anarchy. The com. mandant, Gen. Martinez was broke and in prison, Col. | Bruno held th 8 of power, and no doubt would soon share the fate of Martinez. The insurgents knew not what to do. Many were leaving Tobasco, and | many others had sought refuge on boirda schooner bound to this port.” [From St. Louis Republican, Sept 1.) Intenvat Conprtion oF Mexico.—Col. Kearney, ofthe Ist regiment of dragoons, returned to this city on the 80th ult accompanied by sumo officers of his staff, and some citizens who were with him during his late expe- | dition to the Rocky mountains. As we have before stated, Colonel K. left Fort Leaven- worth on the 18th May, with five comp of his regi- | ment We now learn, that they marched to the Platte— up that river—(passing Fort L which is the Tra- dora’ Post at the mouth of Laramie river)--up the Sweet Wator, and mare! through the “South Pas: f the | mountains, they went to thegwaters of Green River or | the Colorado of the Wi which flows to the Pacific Ocean, and which they reached on the 30th of June. | From the “South Pass,” the dragoons returned to fort , ‘on the same route they had passed up. From | wy marched towards the south, keeping near the base of the Rocky mow and struck the Arkanses about 100 miles from Taos and 150 from Santa Fe. The down the Ark ed Bent’s foi avother post of the traders, d Fort Leaven: worth on the 24th of August, having marched upwards of 2100 miles in le: an 100 days, driving cattle with them, which they ate, when they could get no game— their horses depending entirely upon the grass afforded , by tho prairies, From Fort Leavenworth to the “South Pass,” the dra. goons followed the Oregon trail, passing all the emi- grants, who were getting on very well, and who aro stated to havo beon very numerous this year. From the point where the dragoons struck the Arkansas, they marched on the Santa Fe road, meeting several partics of traders with many wagons, and heavily loaded, on their way fout. We also learn, that councils were held with the Sioux, ( hayennes, and other Indians, whowere told by Col K. that he had now opened that road for the white men, ond that their Groat Father would not consent that any Indian or Indians should molest the whites, or their ry upon it,—that the emi ta to and the | 's Fo traders must not be disturbed, s« they were | passing peaceably and quietly through the country. He told the Indians, however, that if they found any white men bringing any whisky or liquor into their country, that they should spill it on the ground, which, it is thought, they will do, ‘This march of the Ist Regiment of Dragoons may prove to Sir Robert Peel and to Senor Cuevas, that our Vinkes troops cam to Oregon or to Santa Fe—and we will tell the Administration, that if it is determined to take military possession of either, or of both, that all we want isa regiment or two of regular troops as a nucleus tor our volunteers to form upon, and that, in a week after the call for volunteers is sounded, we will have more men offering their services than will be needed or accepted— men, willing and prepared to encounter any difficulty or danger that may be presented to them. ‘This expedition has given to Col. Kearney a knowledge of the country and the mode of travelling and su sisting of troops, which, combined with his acknowledged military talents, will render his services doubly valuable to the government in the event of any movement towards Now Mexico or Cali- fornia being determined upon. Important from South America, The U.S. shipSt. rived at Norfolk on the 8th inst., in the remarkably short passage of thirty days from Rio de Janeiro, having left that port on the 8th ult. This vessel brings very late intelligence from Buenos Ayres, which is of an important character- The advices from Buenos Ayres are to the 26th of July. It appears that Rosas has rejected the proposition of the French and English, and the ministers of those countries had, therefore, left for Montevideo. This movement places Rosas in a critical position, having the Eoglish, French, and Montevideans in his front, and Generals Paz and Lopez, with their armies, in his rear. It is supposed that Rosas will be compelled to abdicate. The naval forces of the allied powers had taken pos- n of the Buenos Ayrean squadror off Montevideo, Gen. Oribe, commanding the besieging army of General Rosas, had received notice to retire trom the Banda Oriental. This caused great excitement in Bue- nos Ayres, and it was supposed England and France would be brought into open collision with the Argen- tine Republic. The U. 8. brig Perry, Commander Payne, sailed in company with the St. Louis. The frigate Raritan, Com. Turner, arrived from Montevideo the evening previous to the departure of the St. Louis. The frigate Brandywine, Commander Parker, would remain at Rio afew days in consequence of the illness of Mr, Everett, our Minister to China, who had not de- cided whether to proceed in the Columbus, orreturn to the United States in the Brandywine. ‘The disease with which eit was afllicted, though of a painful and distressing character, was not considered dangerous. George W. Slocum, Esq., our former Consul at Rio, is a passenger in the St. Louis. The outward bound East India squadron, which lett here in June last, comprising the ship of the line Colum. bus, and sloop of war Vincennes, had not arrived at Rio when the St Louis left. They are expected to remain a few weeks there to water, and take in fresh provisions before proceeding to their destination. Norrox, Sept. 8th, 1845.—You will confer a favor up- on us and our friends, if you will announce in your next paper, the arrival of the United States ship St. Lou terday. from the East Indi ind around the world, last from Rio Janeiro in 30 days, and the following is a list of her officers : Captain, Isaac McKeever; Lieutenants, J.

But four deaths have occurred on board since her departure, and her officers and crew returning in general good health after an exposure to all the chan- ges of climate, incidental to tl e, can, and do, feel sincere gratitude for their preservation.

Knowing the lively interest which you take in the | success of American performers abroad, I wish | much that you could have attended a most deleeta- ) ble supper given one evening last week to the artists | atthe Porte St. Martin Theatre, by M. Coigniard, the manager, to celebrate the re-appearance of Pro- fessor Risley and his two sons, who have returned | from their trip to St. Petersburg, where they have | won fresh laurels—and what is far preferable in these | matter of fact days, heavy bags of roubles. It may | not be amiss to mention, that for several years, the Porte St. Martin, though a large and handsome | | theatre, had been falling off in the good graces of | the public, and generally presented a most “beggarly | account of empty boxes,”when last year the manager Louis, Captain McKeever, ar- | determined to make one more effort, and sent an | emissary to England to engage Risley. | There are so many charleians now-a-days, that | the announcement of the performance created no | sensation, and there was not enough money taken | onthe first nightto pay expenses ; the next evening | the house was nearly full—and during the last week | ot his engagement, there was not a nook but what | was occupied by a delighted and enthusiastic audi- ence, whose burste of applause testified the pleasure they enjoyed in witnessing the classic, herculean grace of the father, and the fairy-like ease with which the sons moved in the air, as if it was their natural element. Nor were they the ordinary fre- quenters of the theatre, the artizans and grisettes of us vicinity. The faubourg St. Germam and chaussee d"antin were represented by the flower of | their aristocratic inhabitants, whose tiny gloved | hands followed the lead of their favorite Tragtoni, and only stopped applauding to throw upon the stage such quantities of bouquets, that it rivalled the flower | market at the Palais de Justice. Coigniard pocketed | the receipts—took fresh eourage—and went on per- suading Risley to perform one or two nights more, until the Brussels manager wrote, that if he was not | there to fulfil his engagement in four days, he would | commence anaction for damages—estimating them at 25,000 francs. Risley was forced to go, but those | who had visited the theatre to see him were so much pleased, tuat they were induced to go again; and a splendid pageant having been brought out at | Christmas, it has continued to be one of the most | popular places of amusement among the fifteen | theatres, whose portals are nightly thrown open for | the ingress of the Parisian public. | Tt was not to be wondered at then that the mana- ger should seek to show his gratitude to the cause | of his good fortune, particularly as in order to fulfill his engagement, Risley had travelled post haste | from Vienna here, relinquishing many tempting of- fers on the road. ‘The supper'was a banquet which | Lucullus would have presided at with joy, and was graced by all those who perform at the theatre, and have the entrée to the green room, either as authors, reporters, or guardians of the danseuses. All that the most recherche taste and a good purveyor could combine and select, was offered with luxuriant li- berality, and as the champagne went round the jo- vial board, there circulated with it gossiping anec- dotes and scenic reminiscences as exhilirating as its sparkle, and.as volatile as its froth. Coigniard made a very neat speech, and every thing went off as joyously and free as the movements of Risley’s boys, (if motion so ethereal and birdlike can be said to be movement,) who,as the manager observed,are ‘*as fresh with us as spring violets, that come with dew and perfume on their breaths, not the less dear, er bright, or welcome, that they have so come be- fore.”” Risley is now sustaining the leading character in a mythological ballet, which is admirably calculated to display his talent, and a proof of his success is to be seen in his many imitators. Two of them, ori ginally performers in the American circus compan: in England, certainly display force, and the child- ren whom they have trained, are not destitute of agility or hardihood—particularly those of Mr Sunds. But their performance “ smells of the saw- dust,” and lacks that classic grace and ease which has given Risley his fame, and he is so determined to retain his position that he 18 now rehearsing » new style of exercises which his counterfeiters wil! find it difficult to imitate.

The whol number of tents was estimated by several persons st 200, our own opinion that there were not less than one hondred and fifty, many of them very large, beivg built for the accommodation of companies and societies, from Washington, Georgeto t neighboring villages. ‘They extended in many places five and six camps in depth from the inner circle, and gen- erally with asmail space at the back of each tent fenced off with a wicket of green boughs for cooking, Xc., with clean and shady walke between the lines in the form of irregular miniature streets. Nearly all the tents were of new canvass, and were gotten up with very good taste, many of them being carpeted, divided into apartments by curtains, furnished with bedsteads and cane chairs, wit an occasional sofa or lounge. In addition to the tents, several hundred wagons, earts, &c,. in the suburbs, were converted into temporary residences for whole families, or large detachments, attending the meeting. Besi jes all these, there was an immense accumulation of carriages, omnibusses, buggies, &c., and horses, brought up by persons attending merely the services of the day. At two o'clock, when the tin horn was sounded from the stand for preaching, there were, | perhaps not less than seven thousand persons on the ground, of all shades of color and character, of all sort: and sizes, men, women and children. ‘The discourse was the good old rigmarole as understood by the Methodists of the plan of salvation, and of the paramout necessity of ell sinners to come at once inte the altarand escape by ments of the deep and eternal damnation of hell’s blazes. After the sermon, the mourners were requested to come forward, while the brethren sung: “Alas! and did my saviour bleed, And did my sovereign die, Would he devote that sacred head, Y worm as I? yield—I yield—I yield, I can’t hold out no more, I sink by dying love compelled, ‘And own thee conquerer.” Several mourners had come forward, when a prayer succeeded in their behalf, by one of the ministers in the stand, who was accompanied by the mourners, and the brethren within and around the altar, with all manner of joyous ejaculations, implorations, groans of distress, and shouts of glory, the clamor of their united voices, over- whelming the Voice of the chiet petitioner, and rendering the whole concert incoherent and unintelligible. After the prayer, cne of the ministers again exhorted sinners to flee the wrath to come. “Come slong poor sinners! Now is the accepted time and now is the day of salvation. Don’t wait for a more decisive influence of the Holy Ghost. D on’t let the opi- nions of the world prevail against the blood of Christ. flere for you, the Savior stands, Shows his wounds and spreads his hands.” Come along! ‘That's right, young woman! Come out from the world and seek refuge in the blood of the atonement. My God, stir up the hearts of the people ! (Unanimous response of Amen!)—Oh! send reviving grace among the brethren and the !—(Amen !) Uh! shower the arrows of conviction amo: here assembled.—(Amen! Amen !)—Strike the stoutest sinuer through, make him cry, what shall I do !— (Arm i, stir up the people !)—Come along poor sinners, and seek selvation while the lamp holds out to burn, ile the spirit of God strives with you, while the meang and the opportunity are before you of an inter uer, bound for eternity andthe bar of God. Oh! think, up: and come out for God, for Christ, and for Come slong, that’s right, let the brother in, b: Another sheaf athered into the Lord’s harvest.”— Gory! ‘ ‘After continuing in this exalted strain for a quarter of an hour, the brethren (the mass’of the congregation had dispersed) struck up— “Oh! our dying days are rolling round, Our dying days are rolling round, Our dying days are rolling round, Make ready to go home.” Meantime the negroes (bog pardon, the colored peo- ple, we should say,) were not idle. They had fallen back into several of their largest tents, filling them to suffocation, and their united voices at the distance of a mile, extinguished all competition. They sang with a zest, with an earnestness, with a strength of lungs, with a unanimity of epirit that left the white folks entirely in the back ground. porancous, poetry, music and all—the burden of the melody simply requiring the change of a word, such as brother, sister, husband, daughter, &c. to carry itto any extent. For example, by changes, with a rapidity of utterance almost inimitable, they continued chaunting the following chorus for a full half hour : “Oh! my father’s gone to glory, He’s so happy—he’s so happy, And I will strive to follow, For I’m on my way to Zion. I wonder to de Lord shall [ ever git home, To sing Je—ru—sa—lem.” Close as they could stand together, they continued this chaunt; the simple wildness of the melody being well adapted to keep up their enthusiasm. ‘The visible world seemed to be forgotten—the terrors of Georgia, and the dreadful recollections of the Georgia soul-drivers, (as the Virginia blac’ all the southern traders in slaves,) and while they were streaming with sweat, and vibra- ting in a mass amid an aroma not to be compared with the odors of an orange grove, their very souls (poor creatures) seemed to be revelling amid the felicities of paradise—amid the angels and the prophets, and the martyrs and the saints of old. With alternate singing and prayer, after the example of the whites, thoy kept up their unnatural paroxysm of rapture for several hours, of groans, shrieks shouts, mprocations, eid every ims: giuable appeal tothe Trinity, filling up and generally overwhelming the regular order of their proceedings, And as we contemplated these poor ignorant people, in their spasmodic illuminations, while an oppressive loom overshadowed our reflections, it was mitigatea By the evidence that, however deluded they might be, there could be no questioning that they were happy. and that such of them as were not, from the revulsion of their emotions, soon would be the most frantically up- tic of the throng. At about five o’clock, an armistice was declared be- tween the forces of kingdom come, and of the devil—a nsion of hostilities for a space, when the resident masses of the encampment, black and white, repaired to the roar of their tents to replenish their exhausted sto- macks. And here we are reminded of another beautiful arrangement. While the congregation were engaged 5 ment, their cooks behind the tents were no less indust: ously employed in the butchery of chickens, in roasting, boiling, fr , stewing and Lage 4 the solids for earnal enjoy meni after the close of the spiritual exercises. And it would be difficult to tell in which our Methodist camp meeting brethren are most zealous and enthusiastic—in the destruction of the kingdom of the devil and his work: or in the destruction of hams, chickens, sages and coffee. Doubtless their extraordina tions for the benefit of sinners give them extraordinary i from the extraordinary quantity of pro- y me.

It has already taken up a week’s time, and it will require allthe present week for its completion. Judge Washburn, of Worcester, is holding the court. He is a very fair Judge, his principal fault being a pro- | pensity totalk too much. Col. J. P. Rogers, of Boston, conducts the case on the part of the Government, Mr. | District Attorney Huntington being too uawell to take charge of it, Col. Rogers is comparatively a new man | in our courts ; he came to Boston from Bangor, a short | time ago, but has already attained an extensive practice, | | and ahigh reputation as a lawyer. He is a very shrewd and sagacious man, and considering his very imper- | fect acquaintance with the details of the case, is con- | ducting it very well. Mr. Webster, Mr. Choate, and | | Mr. E. Hoar appear for the defendant. | The second day of the trial was entirely taken up by | the arguments of Messrs, Choate, Rogers and Webster, upon a motion made by the former to quash the indic' | ment, on the ground that the defendant had committed | no offence, under the common law, or the statutes of the | Commonwealth. Let me tell you how this matter stands | Wyman has been tried twice already. ‘The first time the jury did not agree, but the second time they agreed to | convict. The tenth section of the 133d chapter of our | revised statutes, isin these words—“In any prosecution | for the offence of embezzling the money, bank notes, checks, drutts, bills of exchange, or other securities for | money, of any person, by aclerk, agent or servant, of | such person, it shall be sufficient .o allege generally in | the indictment an embezzlement of money to a certain amount, without specifying any particulars of such em- bezzlement, and on the trial, evidence may be given of any such embezzlement committed within six months | | next after the time stated in the indictment ; and it shall | be sufficient to maintain the charge in th aad shall not be deemed a variance, if it shall be prove that any money, bank note, check, draft, bill of exchang or other security for money, of such person, of whatever amount, was fraudulently embezzled by such clerk, | agent, or servant, within the said period of six months.” This section was held, by Judge Allen, on the former trials, to apply to the case of Wyman. Exceptions were | taken by defendant's counsel, and the Supreme Court adjudged that he had a mis-trial, and granted him a new one.

He deposed as follows:—I ama joiner; my workshop in the vicinity of Wal is id Broadwa: 1 know Mr, Grouseet and Mr. 5 he affray,1 heard the report of a pistol; I ran out, and w Mr. Grousset lying on his face in the street near Trinity church; Mr. Emeric was on the oppesite side of the street. This is all I saw of the affair. Wits Maxwein, T was in the sicleiey of Wall street and Broadway on the 24th of December last I heard a pistol fire; I then locked over to the opposite side of Broadway w fuur persons together in Broad- way, and went to them; before I got half way over the street, in firing again the cap exploded, aud the ball was not discharged; he then fired it again; Mr. Grousset had not hold of Mr. Emeric at the time, but he was trying to get hold of him; Mr. Grousset fell down on one of his knees; this was after the third fire, or secon! discharge of the pistol; I took hold of Mr. Emeric to prevent him from firing again; Ido know that he intended to fire again, but | took hold of both his arms so that he could not do so; a persen then put his arms round me and spoke to me in French, but I could not understand him; Emeric oad toe Grousset had spit in his face, and he wanted to kill him.

Cross-examined by Mr. Cuttrnc.—From the sound of the report, I snould suppose that it procesteg from the east side of Broadway, and the other from abeut the mid- dle of the street; Mr. Grousset fell on the edge of the curbstone opposite Trinity Church. The prosecution here rested, and Mr. Cuttixc the case for the defence in an in which he contended that hi self-protection, found it necessary to arm himself in the manner described in the testimony adduced. Mr. Cut- ting then cited various authorities to show that the of- consisted in the intent to kill, and not merely in ct of presenting and discharging the pistol, which was done in self-de! Isaac Brocn was in Broadwa 2. d for the defence and sworn.—“T it the time of the rencontre betwixt Mr. Emeric and Mr. Grot saw Mr. Grousset ap roach Mr. Emeric and becam: armed, having been in- ‘ormed by Mr. Emeric, that Mr. Grousset intended to insult him, and thet he should go armed ; but that he should endeavor to avoid Mr. Grousset. 1 was walking with Mr. Emeric at the time the affray commenced. | Hyroure Careviocer sworn.—I have heard Mr. | Grousset say that he spent half an hour every day in | looking for Mr. Emeric. | Witt A. Kettiias sworn.—I was aclerk in the | house of Rennard & Co. at the time of the difficulties between Mr Grousset and Mr. Emeric. Mr. Emeric zling must be tried like a case of larceny, at cemmon law, and the offence must be dis- tinctly set forth in the indictment, and also the time when it was committed. This could not be done ‘The Legislature of 1845, for some reason or other not appearing, made a law pretty nearly in these words :— “Be it enacted, &c., that the 10th section of the 133d chap- cashiers, and other officers of banks.” The ground of Mr. Choate’s motion to quash, was that this law was ez post facto, and, therefore, unconstitutional, null and void. ‘The counsel for the defence came fully prepared upon this point, Some twenty or thirty huge books of autho rities, in law, history and philosophy, were laid upon the table, and Mr. Choate began his speech. It lasted about four hours, and was one of the best efforts of a man who | is very nearly at the head of our Massachusetts advo- | cates. The dry recital of legal opinions was di versified by numerous historical allusions, and by occa- sional pasinges ofa high order of eloquence. Among the definitions of an ex post facto law, he relied upon this one by Judge Chase. After enumerating several descriptions Fiawewhich are of this nature; Judge Chas ys— very law which alters the legal rules of evidence re- quired for conviction, is ex post facto.” Mr. Rogers made a brief reply to Mr. Choate, in which he contended that the new statute only affected th Mr. Webster made a few rem The next morning Judge laborate written opinion adv. In his opinion the statute did not change the legal tion. rules of evidence, but only the statement of facts required fallen sinner, of the uncertainty of life, and the hazards | jn the indictment, allowing the commonwealth to be les: of adeath-bed repentance!

Mr. Webster, after. the Judge hed conclu. ded, rem , that the decision had been made upon rounds which had not been argued by the counsel.— ie Judge replied that the commonwealth was supposed toappoint Judges who hed some legal knowledge be+ sidew what they Jearned from the arguments of counsel, and it could not be consiuered irregular if they made use | of such knowledge. |. If Wyman is convicted, his counsel will carry the case before the Supreme Court again, and they ure confident f obtaining a favorable decision on this point. Certain- ly, the new law, whether technically expost facto or not, makes all the difference in the world to Wyman, who was perfectly under the decision of the Supreme Court, before its passage, but is now in extreme jeo- rdy. Some law points of minor importance were argued by the counsel, which were decided ugainst the defendant, | and the trial proceeded. The evidence does not materi- ally differ from that given on the former trials, and the interest in the facts is very much less as the period of the transaction grows more remote from us. Ms. Webster left town on Friday, but will return th weok, He will make the concluding argument if he well enough,,and we expect a strong speech. Mr. Choat will open the case for the defence.

The plaintiffs sue in their character of up the payment of the note at Mobile, Ala. The bill was produced in court with the names of the acceptor and drawer erased, and the word “ paid” plainly written theroon, To this defence the plaintiffs rejoin, that if the bill was paid it was subsequent to the appointment of the trestee:, and therefore void. The jury found a verdict for defendant, he having proved the payment of the Bill of Exchange in question. Patrick Connelly v8. Joseph W. Wright.—Thia was a case of slander. The parties were principals in one of the ward schools; and in the month of March last, the defendant circulated reports charging the plaintiff’ with having stolen some of the school house property, and representing him as incapable of teaching, incompetent for the office of teacher, kc.
