old party that witness was of—(A laugh.) His party met the
morning of the fair, at Tallavin7hall--(A laugh.) They marched
from that to the fair ; there were eighty there; there might have
bean 250; there might have been even more; there might have
been 1,000 mea of his party who had thai day gone to the fair.

'consequence of the wounds be had received.
• The Jury returned a verdict—Gui/ty of Manslaughter.
• The Learned Juno; in passing sentence upon t►e prisoner, la-
smoowd that a degree of depravity prevailed to that extent which,
yak the people of that part of the country indifferent, in too many
eases, as to whose blood they shed. They attacked each other at
fairs and at markets like wild beast, and took away life itself seem-

The importation of gold from the Continent ,is re-
newed in consequence of the rise in the exchange. An
'eminent capitalist, it is said, has made arrangements f, r
introducing to the amount of 250,0001. weekly. An ad-
dition to the metallic circulation of the country is in ist
desirable at the present moment, for the supply of those
districts where provincial bank paper has fallen into dis-
credit, or has beta voluntarily .4 ithdrawn by the issuers.
The letters received from Buenos Ayres persist in the
statement that, BOLIVAR will assist with his forces ilk
cause of Buenas Ayres against the Emperor of BRAZIL.
They add, that General MILLER, of the Colonihian
army, was expected at- the forrner place on the 6th of
January; but we do nor think this is at all conclusive,
~as neral MILLER has some time been expected
