ed at special meeting Of the Washington Fenci-
bles, published in the Waterman Of Friday last.
The sympathy Of benevolent hearts is at all times
consolation to the afflicted, and such expressions
of it as the one alluded to, are calculated to draw
closer those kindly cords of affection which are an
honor to human nature. Proceeding from almost
entire strangers, this token Of respect and feeling
will be duly appreciated not only by those more
Immediately concerned, but by the citizens of the
Borough generally. As an individual. look upon
it as an evidence that Captain CoopER's company
possess spirits congenial to that of their amiabe

Richmond, July II.
TRIAL FOR PIRACY AND MURDER,

Yesterday the trial Of the three Spaniards charg-
ed with pratica acts on board the brig Crawford,
was commenced before the Special Federal Court.
The prisoners we're arraigncd on previous day,
on five separate indictments Mr.. Schmidt moved
10 postpone the trial, on the ground that there ex-
listed great excitement against the prisoners; and
that time was desired to obtain evidence TO prove
that the representations of one Of the witnesses be-
fore the committing magistrate as to occurrences
at Matanzas, are not strictly correct; and that the
prisoners occupy such a station in society as to
make it improbable that they would be guilty of the
offences charged. The Court oycrruled the mo
ton.
Pere, or Jose TIelario Casaris, was then put upon
trial. And after objectng to eighteen persons
summoned as jurors, Jury was obtained. On the
part of the prosecution, the Mate fthe vessel and
IA passenger, a French gentleman. and the persons
who touk the prisoners after their landing, were
examined. The case was submitted to the jury
without comment; who after retirement Of a few
minutes, brought in verdict Of GUILTY. The
trial occupied from 10 until past O'clock.
The tria! Of the other prisoners will commence
to-day at O'clock. Compiler.
The trial Of the three Pirates at Richmond has
terminated. They were found guilty, and senten-
ced to be hung on the 18th Of August next.

CANADA.-Thc Canadian papers exhibit a
state of feeling not less agtated than for some time
previous. Tie opposition TO the alien law appears
as strong as when the latter was first protested
against. The Montreal Courant says that much
excitement ha, been created by the arrival Of Col.
Ramsay, brother Of the Governor in Chief from
England, with dispatches. 1t was rumored that
they contained instructions to His Exceliency to
take away the constitution hitherto enjoyed BY that
country, and to place it under the control Of the
Governor and Council, which measure, it is said,
was occasoned by the difficulties which have dis
tracted the Provincial Parliament. From the re-
marks of the Courant we infer that there is no
sufficient reason for crediting this rumor. That
paper says, 1t is certain that strong military
force is coming out to this country, for what pur-
nose we cannot divine"
