MURDER IN CANADA.

Saturday Jonathan Eaves, a private soldier of the 68th
Regiment of Foot, was placed at the bar charged with the munier
of Patrick Kelly, a corporal in the same corps, at Drummond Is.
land, in upper Canada, on the 27th of August, 1827.—1 t appears
by the evidence of Roger Kearney private of the 68th who was on
with the prisoner, that at 12 o'clock on the day named in the
ent, and in the place stated, that the prisoner conceiving his
hour to have expired, demanded of the deceasedl to relieve
guard ,
to which he replied, that if he persisted in his insubordination,
he would deprive him of his arms and cross belts, upon which the
prisoner instantly charged at the corporal with his fixed bayonet,
and inflicted a mortal wound in his belly. The unfortunate man
limped to the rard.house by the assistance of the witness (Cam.
pion, a soldier and in a short time expired. Baron PENNETA.
THEE stated, though the offence was commtted in a foreign coun.
try, yet the 10th Geo. IV. empowered a jury in this counts), to
decide upon the case. The jury found a verdict of guilty

the stipends of the established clergymen of that city should, in
future, be 425!. per annum; commencing from Whitsunday last.
Friday the five Leith whale fishing ships sailed
from the Roads for Davie Straits.
We have frequently entered at considerable length
into the causes of the distress, and the conflict of opinion so
recently concluded in the Home of Commons does not offer any
great encouragement for much further discussion. On the subject
of distress in trade, Mr. Huskisson laid down some principles which
were almost self-evident to every sensible person, and which the go-
vernment has only to follow out to add much to the prosperity of the
country. These principles, connected as they are with low prints
abroad—the necessity of low prices from us to meet them—trade
here equally free with that of foreigners—the equalising nature of
competition, which must, as far as other circumstances will per-
mit, and often in spite of them, level prices, just es water seeks
its own level in defiance of intervening obstacles—and the necessity
of great reductions to mat this equalization, bear considerably upon
the doctrine that we have often urged that the labourer is worthy
of. hishire.' Prices must be at a paying ratio for the comforts of
&lithe productive classes, before a country can ever be prosperous
and happy.—Tyne Mercury.
