Our wealth circulases in those Wagons

to the government under which they wal

they must have an important influence
upon the calculations which are made
respecting the prospect of peace. by
means Of the Russias grediation. To as
they appear to be conclusive. The
speech OF Lord Castlereagh, evinces
determination Of ministers, to maintain
the principles, the abandonment of which
our government has made the sine qua

YORK, (Penn.) March II.
Court of Oyer and Terminer.

SOWS SSS' %"eS ~
On Thursday the 18th inst. came on
the trial of Samuel Hartman, and Eliza
beth Eaton mother Of Samuel Hartman,
on an Indictment for the murder of
Margaret Harman, wife Of said Samuel
HarrEan.
The prisoners plead not guilty-Da-
~, Cassas and James Kelly, esquires,
were appointed by the court as sounsel
for the prisoners. John Stroman, Jun.
esq. Attorney General, on the part OF
the Commonwealth.
The evidence adduced was voluminous
and much to the credit ofthe witnesses,
was given In the most impartial manner,
The amount of the evidence was, that
Samuel Hartman, the husbsnd of the de-
ceased, dragged Margaret Hartman. who
has been confined by sickness to her
chamber, by the hair Of her head, out of
bed, with one of his hands, holding "a
psa:la book in the other, dashed her face
several times on the floor and kicked
her in the side. To complete the ira
gical scene Elizabeth Eaton dragged
her ont by the bair, beat her and expos
ed her to wet and cold in the yard. The
deceased had nearly all her hair pulled
cut OF one side Of her head, and many
severe wounds and bruises, which ter
minated her life on the 9th of February
last. 1t appears from the testimony
given on. this trial, that Samuel Har-
man was impressed with belief
that his wife and mother-in-law were
witches and that he was bewitched. He
was advised TO call on George Elsen-
hart, who pre.ends to be necromancer,
and to have control over witches, and
who has for long time been permitted
with impunity, to impose on the simple
crcduhty of the superstitious. The re-
suit Of the Interview with this notorioas
imposter, was, that Hartman was bewltch-
ed, and one Of the witnesses says, when
he came home from Eisenhart, he de-.
clarcd that his wife, the deceased, and
his mother in law. were witches. Ano-
ther witness says that Elsenhart told
Harnan that his own mother was the
witch: if Hartman was told by Eisenhart
that his wife and mother were witches,
and if that induced Hartman to commit
the murder Eiscnhart is not innocent OF
I've crimes that followed, and contribnt-
ed 70 the wretcbed condltisn Of the un-
fortunate criminals.
Verdict of the Jury, Elizabeth Eaton
guilty of murder in the first degree
Samuel Hartman in the second.
President Franklin, alter delivering a
solemn, impressive, and most eloquent
address to the prisoners, pronounced the
awful sentences, which are, that Samuel
Harman be imprisoned in the Peniten'
tiary house at Philadelphia, for eighteen
years, FIVE Of which is solitary conlne-
ment. The dreadial sentence OF death
was passed on the unfortunate Elizabeth
EaIon.
In this case ii is very remarkable, tina t
the mother and sen should be both tried
and convicted for the perpetrauon OF a
crime at which human nature shudders
