| both positive and cireumstaniial, between
the witnesses, so direct and so many. that
the court and jury were compelled 10 be-
lieye that there was nothing less than the
most fragrant and corrupt perjury on the
one side or the other; all this was calcula-
ted to excite an unusual degree Of interest
in the mind of every one that was present.
On Saturday evening, Messrs. Price and
Emmett addressed the jury on behalf OF the
defendant, with much force, acuteness and
eloouence, which brought il to so late an
hour that the court adjourned TO yesterday
morning, when Messs. Bunner and Ogden
closed on the part Of the plaintiff, I'M strain
of eloquence aud conviction which seemed
TO bear down all before it. The Judge, at
length charged the jury, in very perspi-
cuous and impartial manner, and entered,
with nice discrimination, into an elaborate
examination of Tile mass OF testimony which
had been given, particularly on The part Of
the defendant. He said there was undoubt-
eddy, in this case, the most w!ttul and cor
rrpt perjury, nor did he leave the jury in
doubt on which side he thought it lay. This
scene of iniquity, it was not to be supposed,
had not been procured without reward, and
if so, he said, this was more criminal con-
duct than any that had preceded it. And
yet, the jury, after an absence Of about
three hours, returned into court, with YER
die; for the defendant. When polled, that
is, asked separately if that was their ver-
dict, one of them, Mr.. M'Menomy, the auc

COMMERCIAL.

A writer in the Glasgow Courier, in ia
king view of the imports and exports Of
the Clyde in the year ending in May, 1918,
thus speaks Of the United States -
"The imports from the United States last
year into the Clyde were 3O,6l2 bags of
cotton. This could not cost less than FL. :
400, 900. These states take from US, in
round numbers, $500, 900 yards cottons
and linens, worth, say f320, 900, and with
miscellaneous articles, we shall say f400,-
900, thereby leaving balance of / 10000
that we have to pay them in mony.
"Their ships carry away but few art-
cles beyond those have enumerated. The
United States exported last year cotton TO
the value of S23, 1854, or five millions
sterling, most of which came to Great Rri-
tain"

been furnished by commercial friend,

CASE OF SEDUCTION.
Last evening terminated the cause OF Ann
Sufen VS.. Edmund Seaman, for the seduc-
ton Of Der daughter Catharine. The jury
were sworn on Friday morning last, and the
trial occupied the best part Of 8 days; du-
ring most of which time, the courtroom
was crowded, the two last days, almost 10
sufocation. No similar cause, nor indeed
any cause for long time, has excited SO
much interest in the spectators.
The plaintiff is poor widow, who, with
the aid of this daughter, supported herself
with her needle the defendant, young
merchant in lucrative business.
The nature of the action itself; the try
ing situation OF the young daughter as prin-
cipal witness her personal appearance
when she was called upon the stand; so
modest in her looks and department; so IL
mid her air, as she raised her eyes TO the
Jury her whole countenance, so pale and
saddened by sorrow, together with her ap-
parently artless and pathetic story, told in
terms of decency and propriety on the O.

chastity previous to the defendants &C

The Improved Patent Plough

TffE expensive force necessary for
i ploughng in the common way, has
been long known and lamented by farmers.
Many attempts have been made to obviate
that Inconvenience, by the construction Of
plough on Mechanical principles, and pa
tents have been granted TO applicants VINO
profess to have improved on that agricultu-
raj implement. These Improvements are
now before the public, the proper arbiters
in such cases, who will approve or condemn
according TO the merits or dement's OF the
performance.
|, also, have become candidate for pub
lie patronage, and shall attempt to explain
and give reasons to show at least some ad.
vantages which | think my plous possesses
over any other now in use.
For its durability and simplicity of con-
struction, its first excellency, no plough now
in use surpasseS it-but its chief advanta-
yes lie in the ease with which il breaks and
inverts the soil, and will plough in clover
or grass land of any kind without being
clogged or choaked. These properties
arise from the mechanical principles on
which it is formed. The wedge is said to
possess the requisite properties for breaking
and raising the soil with the least app!ica-
bile force. This plough is so formed as 10
form wedge with the morld-board, which
raises the earth gradually 10 the greatest
perpendicular height, when by regular
turn oft moud-board il is inverted, rem
dering the pressure inconsiderable, and
consequently the force necessary to draw
il proportionably small. The beam IS made
of iron or wood, and has considerable
curve, which permits all vegetable matter
TO pass of. would recommend the iron
beam, as it has several advantages over The
wood, and the difference of expense small.
have thought it duty TO my fellow ci-
tizens to publish few lines of instruction
TO facilitate the mode Of using and rerair-
ir.r the same. Before the plough is used,
tie mould. board should be secured ith
free stone or well burnt brick and waller
until it is perfectly smooth. The horses
should draw by double or treble tree,
which is confined 20 the cleyice or beam by
an open ring The point and share should
be laid With steel when necessary the lat
ter must be kept level with the bar, and the
point inclined little down. II this be
: well attended to by the good busbandman.
Ire will be able to eat the iatted calf,
when the incident will sink into want.
