TRIAL FOR MURDER.

On Tuesday, Oct. IA, Hetty Wilson was tried
at Hallowe, on charge of numbering John Val
entine, boy or years old. In February and
March last, the boy exhibited marks Of violence
such as contusions, scratches, Sc was miserably
clad, denied shoes or stockings, whereby his feet
were badly frozen, and often nearly starved
These facts were disclosed by the Witnesses, Sc
|veral of whom testified TO acts OF violence, as
beating, knocking down, &C.. and one of whom
related ,he confession of the prisoner, that on
missing some corn from pot over the tir she
charged the boy with stealing il, and on his deny
ling the charge, choakcd him till the corn came
from his mouth For month or two before his
death, he was in langnishing state, and as the
witnesses thought, could not exist much longer
under such treatment.
! On Saturday, April l2, the boy was missing
John Stockbrldge, uncle to the boy, and living
with the prisoner, stated that he was absent on
the 10th, that he returned in the afternoon of the
1llh, and Was told by the prisoner that the boy
was dead. He proposed calling. the ne'shbours
,lShe opposed il, saying that they had already been
Threatened with prosecution for i'll treatment to
the boy, that she had been absent, and on return
ling, found him on the hearth, nearly dead thai
: she tried to restore him, but without success
! He also stated that she advised him to put the
J body in sack with some stones and throw it into
the river, which he did, throwing the hat among
the ice, to induce belief OF his having beer
drowned.
i. To shew the murderol,s intention of the pri
5 soner, threatening expressions towards the bo,
we're proved such as" II he does not die betor,
Spring, | will kill him." =" Ii he had been m,
own child, | would have killed him before now.
|" He is not human being he is one of the devil
[,IiInps 1t would be no more harm to kill him
y than to kill black snake" "lt would be don,
i God service to kill him." &c. &c But it wa
also shewn tina, she was in the habit of using vic
!, lent language when in passion.
u Verdict NOT GUILTY The arguments o
It the Counsel for the prisoner were very powerful
e and abounded with much feeling and eloquence.

tnat tea mas no uSclul StTeIiSti III ~ h'"'
it contains nothing nutritious that it, be-
sides being good for nothing, has badness
in it, because it is well known to produce
want of sleep in many cases, and in all ca
ses. to shake and weary the nerves. 1t is'
in fact, a weaker kind of laudanum, which
enlvens for moment and leadens after
wards. At any rate it communicates no
strength to the body; it does not in any
degree, assist in atfording what labor de-
|mands. 1t is, then, of no use.
Contrary opinions. An English work
|of high authority says, 1--WE have heard
much of the bad effects of tea, but we have
never felt nor observed them. If the tea
were so pernicious as it has peen repre-
sented by some, its effects must certainly
be evident in China, where it is drank by
all ranks; yet so far from being thought
hurtful in that country. it is held in high
destination. We are told by those who
have written the history of China, that
|ini1ammatory diseases are less frequent
there than in many other countries, which
lis ascribed solely to the liberia use Of tea
An able writer in the Encyclopedia Brit
|tannica observes that ait must be observ-
ed by all, that tea is an antidote agains,
intemperance, and that he who relishes the
one will seldom run into the other. Ray
nal says that tea has contributed more to
the sobriety of this nation, than the sever.
est laws, the most eloquent harangucs OF
christian orators, or the best treatses oil
morality. We have no dnubt but it may
be hurtful to some particular constitutions
lin particular circumstances but we sus-
prct that the nervous disorder, so often at
|tributed to tea, rather owing to hereditary
diseases, to want Of exercise, and to ire
|guarity in food or sleep, than to tea"
DR.. Leake, an English physician OF ce.
Ilebrity, asserts that "weak tea, drank toe
hot, will enervate, and if too strong may
prove equally pernicious by affecting thu
head and stomach. But when it is drank
lin moderation, and not too warm, with q
large addition of milk, believe il will sci
dom prove hurtfl :, but on the contrary
salutary. After study or fatigue, it is ;
most refreshing and grateful repast; j
lquenches thirst and cheers the spirits
without heating the blood, and the pleas
ing snciety with which we so often partak'
of it is no inconsiderable addition to it
value for whatever affords rational plea
sure to the mind will always contribute
to bodily health.
In addition 70 the foregoing testino
nies in favour OF tea, we can, and perhaps
may hereafter, cite the opinions Of othe
eminent men, including Drs. Rush ant
Cooper. We have time and room at pre-
sent only to say that it tea, as the ABB
Rayal observes, has any effect to counter
act propensity to the inordnate use 0
Intoxicating liquors, it is very patriotic t.
encourage its consumation in the Unite'
States, especially if it be true, as we be
lieve it is, that the tea plant msy be sue
cessfully cultivated in our own terrific
lries. ". E. Farmer.

AT the Court Of Oyer and Terminer held
at Albany the last week, Dr. d. w. Sack
rider, for forgery, was sentenced to con-
finement in the state prison for IA years
at hard labour, first months solitary
This, says the Albany Advertiser, perhaps
was one Of the most remarkable conyic-
tons that was ever heard of. After the
counsel for the prisoner had closed their
remarks to the jury, and left the court
ropm, and after the district attorney had
closed his remarks, there was but one OPT
nion by the spectators, the bar, the court
and the jury, which was, that the prisoner
would be acquitted without the jurors lea
wing the box. When, to the astonishmen'
of all, the prisoner requested of the cour'
to be INDUCED before they charged the ju
ry, to examine one more witness, who was
then in court, and whom he had forgotten
to call before.--The court INDUCED tht
Iprisoner--the witness was called ant
sworn, who not only convinced every per
son present of the guilt of the prisoner
but that even on that very day, he had beef
/ guilty of forgery by making an endorse
ment on a paper which the witness hat
given the prisoner on that day, and upo
> which, before, there was no endorsement
4 The court then charged the jury, and il
Z a few minutes the prisoner was foun
guilty.

at II dollars per barrel, by the cargo
Capt. C. in consequence of this informa.
ton, and the strong recommendation from
the Barbadues merchant, concluded to e
to Trinidad, on his arrival here, you may
conceive his astonishment when he found
that Flour was, and had been retailing fol
two months at from s to 10 dois. by the
