it was unfavourable to that State whose local
i_uterests rccouiuieuded to her a moderate

B'.ritisli'ttegociator of 1788 was far outshone
in 1815, by that of Mr. Coulburn atid his bro-
tlier peace-maker, in that ever-tuemorable

found, after a littleconversatioti, to be one of

On account ofthe liillynature ofthc ground
each side of the straits, piers of granite are
built. on each side, which make the road level
with the cotititry. Tlte.<e piers, are built oti
arches of 59. feet span; fr -m high watermark
to the spring of each arch is on feet; atul
lead to the grand pillars fr. which the chains
are suspended, in tnassive, yet graceful fes

ways which lead to the carriage roads, 9 feet
wide, 15 high ;—the.re are twoicarriage roads.

tlieui :5 feet wide.
The chains, .6 in nnuiber arc l7l4 feet in

of wrought iron, I0 feet long, 3 inclies deep,
and I-92 an inch thick ;llleSr' live bars are put

almost solid h.-ir, ofl6 feet long, 5 inches

lorm one great chain ; and these four are so
suspended, that the middle oftlie ripper links

-istttlcscriptioti of such lirr|t- as hang from
pillar to pillar, a distance of 553 feet; those
from the pillars to the fastenings, are rather

the itiiqtiities practised there, we have only
-to hope, that the place nftlie lotteries may not

Willi these sums expressing the compara

readily ascertain the real value in any state of
the market. Let. us assume the price of hard
maple to bc four dollars a cord, and compare
it with a cord of white birch. The compara-
tive value oftlie formeris 60, and ofthe latter
4%. We tlieu have the following statetiietit.

that had been offered in the course of the ex-
aiiiination, and the court adjourned to await
the verdict. C
At about 5 o’clock, when thejury had been
otit between two and three hours, an officer
was sent to inforui the Court that the Jury
had agreed. The Court was iuinietliately as-
sembled and the Jury catue in. On being

answered that they had, and that they found
all the defendants Guilt‘?/. Tlie_v were immc-a

At the recent session ofthe Court of Oynr‘
and Teruiiner in Washington county, Judge
Walworth presiding, an action was brpoglit
ll‘? Levi llooker against Halsey Rttflcrs, for a.
libel contained in the Warren Recorder of
May, I825. It resulted in a verdict of $700,
in favor of the plaintili‘. It was not proved
that the defendant composed the libel, or pro-
cured it to be printed. The only evi(l(‘llCC of
publication consisted in the fact, that the
defendant, on the day‘ the paper was issued,-
read it in his store foCaltlwell ; that h 9 read
it also on the satire day,to a number ofpersons
at the hotel in that place, and that about two
months afterwards he read it to a single indi-
vidual iri a lawyer’s office. The dr-.feiidaut’s
cotinseliiisistetl that this did not amount to
Avres papers to theQd of September. J to such a publication as would render the de-
fendant responsible in this action, and moved
for a non siiit. They contended that it was
contrary both to law and sound policy,to reti-
dera subscriber to a newspaper arhctidablc
for every libel it coutaiiied, front the mere
ctrcuriistance ofliis reading it, however ma-4
liciously, either at home or abroad ;and that
in this case there was no evidence of malice

before the Supreme Court.

ment Infantry from Green Bay, passed from

consiu, with a portage ofoiily £300 yards and
this too at the (lrycst season ofthe year. The

The same paper remarks that the U. States.
are renewing the old line of military posts in.
the west, which was formerly establislwd by
the French. About I4 criruprrnies of lrifantry
concentrated ten Miles from Sr.'Lnuis, others
are expected 8:. the works they are beginning
intimate a permanent establisliment. An are
setial is provided for by law ; and the place is
likely to become as formerly, a great (lepos-
itory of niilitary power, from which troops
may be furnished, in case of necessity, either
for the uortli or south.
