'.r..___-..— ——_.'_.&————o Still you believe him to be insane 'l" You have heard all, and in your charge to-mor- row, every word I have said will be re- membered. , The judge was deeply emha-rassed, and it was with difficulty that he found words to-urrdeceive her. 7 I cannot, as an honest man, I dare not as a sworn judge, make a charge on any evidence not brought forward-at the trial, he said firmly, but with deep commisera- tion. Oh heaven, great heaven! You cannot deny me this-and so much: depends on it. Ifyou could but say that there was any thing in=t‘lib evidence to-prove him insane it would save‘ him. A human life! think how sweet :1 thing it must be to save a man like that from death—-and such a death! The jury will be guided by your charge. I have studied their faces, one by one, ever since the trial commenced. I know that they are men to be guided into the path of mercy—only show them the way --only taken little of the responsibility. You will—you will-for did you not ad- mit only a few minutes since that he must have been insane’! Only say ‘ran to-mor- row —l ask nothing more! The earnestness with which the poor girl pleaded was agonizing; her eyer grew moist, her hands were convulsively clasp- ed, and in the energy of her appeal she sun-lr unconsciously to her kecs,'and cling- ing to his dressing gown with both hands urged her suit. ’I‘he judge’ raised her, and even in her distress she‘ felt that his hands trembled in performing this ofiice‘. Be comforted, my poor young lady, be more composed ; this is very distressing to me, P assure you, he said, while tears actually stood in his eyes. God bless you for those tears. I knew -they were Wrong who said you had no feeling. How do you think that lawyer advised me to act .7 See, I was to have brought this money to offer you, and these, and these} She drew from the folds of her dress a large double purse crowded full of bank notes, and with it a heavy diamond bracelet, with other femaleornaments of great value. 1 have given the lawyer almost as much to plead his cause ; gold can purchase his elo- quence, but I dare not offer it to you.-— My heart rose against his advice the mo- ment I entered this room. It was well, replied the judge crimson- ing to the temples with indignation that any man could advised to bribe him, it was well that youjudged more honorably of me than your adviser. If anything could win me to forgetfulness of a stern duty it would be your evident distress—not your gold. I know it—-I know it—and the blessings of a broken heart will follow you to the grave for every merciful word uttered in to-morrow’s charge. Oh, the clock is striking. Is it twelve! I will go home now. They think I am at a party, and so It was two hours ago-—sce how brilliant they made me 1 and with a mingled laugh and shudder _the strange girl threw open her cloak, and revealed a dress ol rose colored satin and rich blonde, iu the folds of which a few white roses were chrushed. Woul'd- you believe it, she said with touch- ing ea-mestness, and fol'd‘i=ng the cloak over her person again, would you think it pos- sible, no creature in my father’s house dreams of this, not even my own mother’! They think that late hours and fashionable follies are rendering me so pale. To-night they will be all asleep when I get home, and I——oh_ Heaven, shall I ever sleep again ! The wretched girl covered her face with both hands, and, for the first time during the interview, burst into tears. After weeping with unrestrained violence for a few moments, she uncovered her face with a sad smile, and suddenly taking the judge’s hand between both hers, kissed it, and left the room sobbing bitterly. Be- fore the judge could overtake her, or offer her any of those civilities which her beau- ty and evident station seemed to demand, she hard opened the door and hurried out into the dark night, He caught one glimpse of her garments as she entered the carriage, and then but for the mufiied roll of wheels passing through the storm, all that had passed within the last half hour might have been a dream. The next day, when the judge took his place on the bench, the spectators remark- ed that his eyes were more heavy than usual, and that his face was pale almost as that of the prisoner. He cast a search- ing look, ever and anon, toward a group of female witnesses that sat near, but among the quiet and commonplace fea- tures exhibited there he found nothing to remind him of his midnight visiter. The business of the trial went on, and,deep as the interest had always been in the fate of the prisoner, he now listened with keener interest to the proceedings. Towards the close, when the evidence grew more and more decided against the prisoner, the judge became painfully restless, the color came and went on his cheek, and there was an expression in his fine eyes which no man remembered to have seen there before. , The prisoner, too, seemed less collected and indifferent than he had hitherto been during the trial. Instead of keeping his dark eyes fixed with a sort of mournful earnestness on the jury, as he had done thelday before, be cast wistful glances toward the group of females. His eyes grew troubled and brilliant, while, now and then, as his hand was raised to wipe the drops from his forehead, those who looked closely saw that it trembled. This was altogether at variance with his former cold and unimpassioned demeanor, and people whispered to each other, that now as his case grew more hopeless, his cou- rage was giving way. Once or twice he turned and [cast a searching lookover the multitude of.hu-. man faces ,with which the room was crowded. The last time some one in the —_...._—.——_. crowd seemed to rivet his attention. , Fire flashed to his eye, and his cheeks_ were ‘blood-red." Ho half started to his feet, dropped againas if a bullet had‘ cleft his G .—.. heart, and after one brief shudder, set motionless as before, gazing not upon eitherjudge or. jury,,but pale and marble like, on his own clasped hands.‘ ‘Among that sea of human faces -no one could tell which it wns"that had so moved the prisoner, and a boy, muflled in a cloak, and with seal-skin cap drawn over his forehead, pressed so eagerly onward just after, that it served to draw attention lrom the unhappy man. Though the crowd was so dense that it seemed impossible for any one to advance a single step, the lad forced his way till he reached those who stood nearest the prisoner, and gathering his cloak about him, stood within a few paces of the heart-stricken man, pale and motionless a'so. At length, the judge stood up to deliver his charge; he was paler than usual in such cases, while an expression of stem sorrow lay upon his features, and gave depth and solemn pathos to his voice. Still, though he seemed more agitated than any one had ever seen him before, his intellect was cairn and clear. The evidence was against the prisoner, there was no clue, not a single thread upon which an honest mind might fix a doubt. The prisoner never lifted his face, but the boy behind him stood immoveuble,with his large eyes riveted on the judge, and hardly seeming to breathe. As the sum- ming up grew more and more against the prisoner, the boy began to wave. He reached forth one hand, and grasping the arm ofa stranger that stood next, thus prevented himselffrom falling to the floor. In the midst of an opinion, bearing deci- dedly against the prisoner, the judge caught the glance fixed on him by this singular boy. The blood rushed to his cheek—he stammered——put his hand to his forehead,went on; but his voice was more subdued, and more than once tears were seen to flood his eyes. Night came on-- the jury hatl been out three hours, and all that time the crowd remained immovable, and in the front, with his eyes bent on the stooping head of the prisoner, was that pale and trembling boy. They came in at last, those twelve pallid men, with the un- spoi-en destiny ofa human being imprinted on their mournful faces. The boy looked upon them as they ranged themselves in the jury box; from one to the other his shrinking eyes were turned, and then, with one struggle, he forced a passage into the crowd. GUILTY !——That fearful word has sealed the death sentence of two human beings. Three weeks after the triulthe prisoner was found dead in his cell. A paper of powered opium, which was found in his cell. A week after, the judge received a funeral card, which surprised him not a little, for the bereaved family, though wealthy and in high standing, were total strangers to him. But a private note which followed the card, informed him that after she was taken with the brain fe- ver, that terminated her life, the young creature who had so suddenly left her home desolate, had earnestly requested that he might be present at her funeral. He went, and there, whiter than the satin which lined her coffin, lay his mid- night visiter—-—the seeming boy, whose mournful face had troubled him in the court room, and whose cold, pale beauty haunted him many an hour in his after life. Correspondence of‘ the N. Y. Jour. of Com. Monanr, April 6. During the morning hour, the bill to distribute anew the labors of the heads of the Navy bureaus came up, and Mr. J. M. Clayton spoi e against it, and in opposition to any measure for the discharge of the duties of those bureaus by civilians.—- Without any decision on this subject, the Senate passed to the special order, and Mr. Vlfebster rose and spoke three hours. I do not send any sketch of Mr} VV.’s remarks, because they are of a historical and documentary nature. The whole speech, when finished, will malxe over 20 columns, and it will present a perf-.-ct pic- ture of the transaction to which it it refers -—the Washington Treaty of 1842. In the opinion of every one, it is a triumphant vindication of the Treaty. Mr. Vlfebster has not yet concluded his speech, and will continue it to-morrow. In the House, a report was made by Mr. Hamlin, from the Committee on Elections, adverse to a memorial from New Hamp- shire, remonstrating against the election of members from that State, chosen by gen- eral ticket. ’l'he Cumberland Road Bill was taken out of Committee, after much debate, and a motion to lay it on the table was lnst.— The House then adjourned. Tcesnar, April 7. Mr. ‘Webster finished his great speech on Tuesday, occupying the whole sitting. Mr. Dickinson called the adjou.rumeut,aud will prob- ably attempt, ‘a. rejoinder to-morrow. In such a day of excitement there is little attention paid the department of the Capitol called the HOUSE. Most of the members were listening to Mr. Webster —still some business was transacted. The Cumberland Road Bill was taken pp and after some confusion, was finally ost. ' ‘ ‘The Senate Bill for causing a Regiment of Mounted Riflcmen, was then taken up and discussed. Among other amendments, was one by Mr. Levin of Pa., that none but Natives should be officers of the Regi. ment. Upon this he, made aNative speech. Mr. Dromgoole of Va. replied and the House adjourned without coming to any determination on the Bill. Tuujtsnar. April 9. The St-:NA'rs, after the presentation of two or three ‘petitions, proceded to con- si_der Mr. Clayton's resolution calling upon _the President for copies ofcorrespondence on Oregon not yet communicated. Mr. Atchison spoke" in favor of the res- olution. Hc wanted information that he might vote against the Notice, if there was going to. be compromise on 4-9° Mr. Se-vier opposed the resolution. -av Mr. Calhoun then took the floor i'n favor of the Resolution. He replied to Mr. Allen, who had complained that we were arguing the title, for England. This mat- ter was thrown upon us and it was neces- sary to examine both sides, to see that we take nothing but what is right and submit to nothing that is wrong. We want to know whether the Notice is a stepping-stone to 5-1-1‘ 40’, or is an in- itiatory step to Peace. He trusted that the question would be settled amicably. l\’lr. Allen rose and said he would no broached! when he has been speaking all the session and speaking with the lungs of a Chinese gong with a Spring cold! , He talked about the humble body stand- ing on the Russian. line, like a struggling band of Indians. He said he would pro- ceed to the historical facts relative to the Senate standing on the Russian line. Mr. l\'.lcDullie suggested that if we were going into the question it would be re- spectful to the Senator from N. Carolina to hear him first. as he had the floor. made a very eloquent and able speech. He said this whole Oregon business-had been badly managed. We are called upon to vote blindfolded. This is repugnant to the genius of our system, and odious to the spirit of Liberty. Suppose you establish the rule that we must voleon questions affecting our For- eign Relations, without the privilege of knowing all the correspondence thereon we may be placed in a strange position, if we should not have confidence, either pri- vate or official, in our President at any time. Are the members of this bodyfequul in intelligence to the Executive head, to be worked by the wires he pulls or-the wheels he moves. He could not conceive of a greater prostitution of one ofiice. Even if the Father of his Country, whom to name is almost sacrilege in these degen- erate days, should come and demand of him such things he would not submit to such a request, with all his spotless char- acter and purity of fame. Mr. Mangum stated that he had it on authority that the Eitecutive knew what Mr. Cass’s “inevitable war” resolutions were, and that they were approved before they were offered in the Senate. Mr. Haywood wished to have Mr. Cass exp‘ain about the Executive sanctioning his ivevitable war resolution. Mr. Cass said that they were sanctioned and that Mr. Buchanan had made an alter- ation in one of them. Mr. Bagby has the floor for to-morrow. Mr. C. J. Ingersoll, in the House, open- ed the ball by offering a resolution calling on the President for information about ex- penditures of Secret Service money and other things of that nature, with copies of notes and letters relating to Foreign Affairs during the administration of Mr. VVebster in the State Depatment. He charged peculations on Mr. Webs- ter, and said that he could prove that Mr. IV had not over-turned his positions—- that his charges were true. Mr. Bayley of Va. objected to the reso- lution. Mr. Hilliard of Ala. spoke eloquently against the resolution. Mr. Wintlrorp made an eloquent and tart reply to Mr. lngersoll. Mr. Adams opposed the resolution. Mr. Tyler was the person to answer for the Secret Service money, not Mr. Webster. Mr. Yancey extinguished himself in try- ing to attack Mr. Webster. Mr. Hilliard defended'Mr. W. in such a way as to call forth hisses. The resolu- tion was finally adopted, Yeas 126, Nays 28. After this the House adjourned.

This, if adopted, will correct the partial vote in the House yes- terday. Mr. Clayton offered a resolution relative to French spoilations and gave notice that he would call this matter up as soon as the Oregon Question was disposed of. The special order then coming up Mr. Bagby having the floor yielded it to Mr. Fairfield, tvho read a speech complaining against the provisions of the Treaty of Washington. _ Mr. Webster rose and said he would like to make a few remarks, not exceeding ten minutes, in reply to Mr. Fairfield. Mr. Bagby took the floor and spots in favor of the Notice. He was willing to go for the House notice—any thing that would lead to a peaceful compromise. When he had concluded, Mr. Upham of Vt. took the floor, upon whose motion the Senate ad’j. The House was occupied by some little trimmings connected with yesterday’s proceedings Mr. Hilliard and others made explanations. Mr. Dixon of Conn. moved to reconsid er the vote on the adoption ofMr. lager- soll’s motion yesterday, and took occasion to make an able speech, chiefly in reply to Mr. Yancey of Ala. During the course of hisremarks be brought up Mr. lager- soll several times. In the controversy Mr. lngersoll acknowledged that he did say that had he lived in the days of the Revolution he would have been a Tory, for his Grandfather was one. He also acknowledged that Mr. Buchan- nan in I812 was a Federalist. He tried to hit Mr. Dixon‘ by referring to Conn. Blue Lights." Mr. Dixon defended Conn. - In doing so, helmade some references to one who had been in favor of British interests and who was booted or insulted in a village. This turned out to be Charles J.

Mr. Yancey wanted to know how much had been presented. Mr. Vlfiuthrop declined to venture an answer, as hedid not feel himself authorized to pry so ' ‘deeply. into Mr. '\Vebster’s all‘-airs. Mr. Yancey said he was not satisfied. The bill to make a regiment of Riflernen, doc. was passed. Mr. Jones of Georgia, moved to reconsider, the vote, which was under debate when this re- portclosed. . FOREIG-N.——-The Pilot; Boat VVilliam J.

Mr. Hall of this place, to the situation of a number of ap- _ THE‘ ELECTION. Whetl1m' the State has relapsed into the‘ embrace of Locofocoism, or is yet Wlrig in the’ lower House of the Legislature, and:a plurality of the State vote, is not yet known, and cannot be until the results ofthe second trial for Rep- resentative are ascertained. This much, how- ever, is certain, that if the VVhig party is trium- phant, it is by a very small majorit.y—as itvvere by the “skin of of our teeth.” This_ state of the case, is humiliating, part.icularly when we ' consider the issues, and cast I! glance at the vote by which it has been brought about. It is well’ know even to tliesuperficiul observer, that this result even at the worst, determines nothing— signifies nothing, so far as the policy, doctrines, and distinguishing features of the \Vhig and Lo- cofoco parties are concerned. Our opponents have blinked every attempt to fix the issue upon such ground, and cunuingly avoided any allu- sion to such matters. the burden of the song, and when it would an- swer, auopen attack upon the license law of the last session. In this attack Isaac Toucey, Esq. has played his part-, and the swindling, sneaking manner in which he has done it, is worthy of the man, and the trickery and treach- cry of the party to which he has made himself so miserable a tool. Letters were written by this candidate for the First Hagistracy of Con- necticut, to the towns where they could be us- aLitchfield Enquirer that Maria Louisa \Vl1eeler, ed to efl-ect’ to such men as Ebem Smm-}, of Stamford. to be read, and shown to the liquor- loving portion of the party, and scrupulously kept from the ‘temperance portion, denouncing the temperance license-law,and promising a re- peal if elected. The trick was played in Stam- ford and \Vestpo1t in this vicinity, and had its desired effect, we are sorry to say, with some dry Whigs. But notwithstanding the secrecy - that: was observed, the thing came out in time to keep some honest Locos from the polls. \Vit.l1 regard to the vote as received,it is 2,500 less than it was last spring, and while the \Vhigs have fallen short of their vote at that time 2,276, their opponents have, with all their chicanery ple trees upon his premises. The trees were, and degmding appeals to appetite, advanced on some fifteen or twenty in number, of the most that vote only about 140. ‘Vim these things ed by this gentleman’s own hand, of choice. fruit, and on this account much prized. These trees have bcenso seriously attacked by ayellow- ish, grub-like worm, as in many cases to utterly destroy them. Some of them were so com- pletely girdled, as to be altogether beyond hope, and consequently have been removed by the axe, while others have been depredated upon so such an extent, as perhaps not to destroy them, but materially to retard their growth, and check their fruitfuluess. The attack is made at the roots, the worm working its way upward, most- ly within the solid wood, varying in depth from the inner surface of the bark to an inch or more: in depth and extending its.ravages as high up the body as four or five feet. On the same premises we were also shown six remarkably thrifty Quince trees which were so badly injured as to render their removal ex- pedient. The bodies were perforated like a honey comb. This state of things was discovered this spring for the first, from an examenation about the roots of the trees, the tops still preserving the appearance of health and vigor. It is the opinion of the gentleman alluded to, that this is the commencement of a scourge upon the apple tree, and in this light he looks upon the matter as one of serious import, calling for attention and prompt action to preserve this valuable fruit. It is on this account we place the subject before our readers, that they may examine their orchards, and understz_1__ud the na- ture of the evil, should it become rnoi‘e‘- wide- spread. Should such be the case, experiments should be resorted to at once to eradicate the evil, and where success attends such ex- periments, the public good requires that it be made public, that its salutary influence may have a general application, and this staple and invaluable fruit be preserved to this section of country where it l1as hitherto been so success- fully and abundantly produced.

BAILEY has been selec- thrifty and healthy kind, all grafted, and nurtur-l of national policy before us——that a matter so trifling and unimportant as the license-law, should jeopardize the character of the state,und allow a rampant andleveliug party in our nation- al councils to tal-:e courage from the countenance plan and dangerous schemes upon the country, is ltumiliatiug indeed. But chiding reflections are vain now. The die will be cast this day (Monduy,) yet whatever that may be, of this we have the assurance, that Connecticut is as truly and thoroughly Whig at HEART this day, as ever she was, and we have the power to make it appear whenever an op- portunity shall again offer.
