PLYMouTH. Nov. 90.


The Court of Common Pleas held a
session in this town the present week
A civil action was presented to the Jury.
which although the amount in dispute
was small, was strongly contested
This action was brought by a respecta-
Bile surgeon of this county, Us. the town
of Easton, for the amount of his bill, for
the successful amputation of the limb of
a pauper belonging TO that town. As
the fact of his being employed was
proved, and there appeared TO be no ev-
idence of extravaganza in his charges,
the jury by their verdict awarded to the
plaintiff the full amount of his demand.
in the course of this trial very extra
ordinary practice was developed, which.
tor the honor Of humanity, we hope is
confined to the litigant town: the prac-
tlce OF putting up at auction, and selling
to the lowest bidder, the payment of the
claims which might accrue against the
town on account of the medical atten-
ton to its paupers. Should this prac-
tice become general, there is much
reason to fear that suffering humanity
would become the victim of spectators
in very barbarous traffic.

From the Portsmouth, Journal.

One would think from the conduct of sew.
eral leading Editors, that the great contest fol
the Presidency were to be decided by calling
names; and that he who could rail the loud.
est and use the most vulgar language were the
most efficient partizau. If any thing could
weaken the attachment of New-England tc
Mr.. Adams, it would be the intenperate yea
OF some of his friends; and it is very certain
that the high respect which was every where
telt for MIR. Calhoun, has been in some degree
diminished by the violence Of two or three pa.
pers devoted to his cause. On the other hand.
no one who has been an attentive observer OF
public opinion, can doubt that the advocates
OF MIR. Crawford have done more injury to him,
than to any of his opponents. Public favour
cannot be forced-it must be canciliated.
There is large body of independent citizens
in the United States, who have no personal in.
terest in the success of either of the candidates
and who have not yet had an opportunity Of
forming an opinion of their relative merits,
These are not to be forced into the ranks Of
party by noise and Glamour, On the contra.
ry, decent self-respect would compel them
to resist the arrogant preten9ions of those, who
demand their suffrages. If the course which
several leading papers have taken be general.
iy pursued, the result will be that the hopes o.
all the present candidates will be blasted.--.
They will succeed in destroying the reputation
of each other, without advancing their own
and the American people will gladly turn from
them to some distinguished citizen, whose name
has not yet been sullied by the breath of sian.
der. And this will be just retributicn for a
high-minded man had rather be the object o.
vulgar abuse, than companion of those who
practise it,

Nearly thirty thousand men are at
present employed on the great canal
from the Texel to Amsterdam. The
marshy earth which is found towards
the bottom of the canal, is taken out
with bag-nets, and fills more than a
thousand boats each day. The canal
will be 25 feet in depth, so that the lar
gest East and West Indiamen, may pass
direct to Amsterdam without unloading
part of their cargoes at the Texel.-
The canal will be more than sixty En-
glish miles long, and will cost, without
including the great flood-gates, more
than 80 millions guilders, or 35 million
dollars. Phil. GGz.

TRIAL FOR MURDER.

On Wednesday, Betsy Williams (alias
Betsy Chinquepin) was arraigned be-
fore the Circuit Court for the District of
Columbia, now sitting in this county for
killing Elijah Chenault, constable.
1t appeared from the testimony of a
number of witnesses that the prisoner re-
sisted the constable in attempting to de-
stain her furniture for rent; that he
broke the sheath of a sword cane over
the head and sholders of the women in
the contest; that she soon after struck
him on the side of the head with large
piece oftimber (Which was produced in
courD which brought him to the ground
when she gave him second; and said
if she thought she had not finished him
she would give him another blow and
if a glass ofrum would send him to hell,
she would get him one.
The Indictment stated that he (the
constable) was killed while in the dis
charge Of his duty by the prisoner.
Mr. Huitt commenced the defence of
the prisoner with much warmth in a
very ingenious and unusually lengthy
speech; and was followed by Mr.. Tay-
lor, on whose application the jury receiy-
ed from the court certain instructions
respecting the character in which the
constable was acting. The court were

constable was acting as a private bailiff,
and not, according to the statute, as an
officer; but that they might, under the
circumstances, find her guilty of man.

tired about FIVE minutes, returned with

DelawGre and Pdssaic Canals,
were present at an exposition of the
route of this canal, by Mr.. M'CulIoch,
before a committee of the Legislature
last Monday evening. Many interesting
facts relative to its Importance were de-
Veloped. 1t appears the route of the
canal embraces great extent abundant
ly rich in mineral substances. Immense
mines of iron, copperas, lime, and zinc
lie in its Vicinity-it passes go iron fur
naces-40 ofwhich are in ruin for want
'of fuel, which can be supplied by the
canal: 1t is proposed to start it directly
opposite the Lehigh, whence the coal
is derived. Its cost is estimated at
$500, 900; and the revenue it would
yield, confidently estimated at S250,00
