TRIAL FOR MURDER.

rive have read, hastily and partially-for
the disgust and Indignation excited by the ac-
count, would not admit of deliberate reading
the testimony given on the trial of Michael
MGarvy, last week at Philadelphia. 1t is diff
cult to conceive that the human animal can be
guilty of such atrocious cruelty. This monster
was indicted for the murder Of his wife, Mar
garet M Garvy, aoith cart whip, The follow
ing sketch embraces the prominent facts as
they appeared in evidence ]-BostoM Courier.
The first witness, who lived underneath
the chamber occupied by the murderer,
heard rafting up stairs, went up, and saw
the prisoner strike his wife with the whip,
and seize her by the hair--went down, and
= after some time, hearing blows as if from
the whip, returned and saw the wife bleed
ing on the head. Another witness heard
defendent threaten to cut his wife's throat
went for constable, but could get no
one to interfere. Returned and saw the
prisoner holding his wife by the hair, with
the whip in his hand. She was bloody
about the head, her hair all clotted with
blood. AT another time, the same witness
and another went into the room, and saw
the wife tied by her hair to the bed-post,
she resting on her knees on the floor. The
hair kept her head from falling. The beat
ing began an hoar before dark, and contin-
ued several hours.
The details of this horrible transaction
occupy several columns Of the Philadelphia
papers but the annexed extract from the
testimony Of the physician who attended the
murdered woman will be sufficient for our
readers.

LATE FROM ENGLAND.

The packet ship Brighton, Capt. Sebor,
from London, brought papers to Nov. LIST.
The following is summary of the intelli-
gence.
Varna has at length fallen into the hands
of the Russians. 1t was carried by gen
eral assault on the 9TH Oct.
The present aspect of affairs is far more
favorable to the invaders than we had rea-
son to expect after our late accounts
Schumla is still besieged by the Russians
and in Little Wallachia the Turkish force
has been scattered.
The Allgemeine Zeitung give Constan-
tinople date of Sept. 25th, which says that
the Porte has given an answer to the last
demand of the powers, which has been sent
to Corfu; and that it is in substance. that
Notwithstanding the favor of Providence
has been shown to his arms, he was willing
to negotiate on the basis mentioned, and
wished to see the Ambassadors at Constan-
tinople.
The lew levy in Russia had excited great
enthusiasm.
We have the particulars of the opera
tons before Varna up to the period of its
capture. Mines were sprung on the Sd and
4th Oct. under the two north bastiors. Col.
Schneider entered, repelling four attacks of
the Turks. Omer Vrione had made no
further progress up to Sept. Both. Prince
Eugene of Wirtemburg had advanced to
OsmanzJk.] On the 9TH, ITO sharp shoot
ers, followed by body of troops, penetrat-
ed into the former bastion without firing.
and these killed all the Turks in it, while
three false attacks were made on different
points. The sharp shooters, &C., penetrated
into the town, and afterwards retreated with
many Christians who joined them, and spik-
ed the cannon in the bastion. Eighty were
killed and 300 wounded-the enemy's loss
is estimated at 600 On the 9th Jussuf
Pacha came into the camp to treat. and
nothing. hostile was attempted by the
Turks.
From the Prussian State Gazette Of Oct. %.
VARNA, (Sept 29) Oct. IL.
The difficulties and snfferings of the ar
my before Varna have been crowned with
victory.
The reduction of the fortress was the
result OF general assault on the 18th of
Sept. Tor the 9TH Oct,) in which few of
our gallant soldiers penetrated to the yerv
middle of the town, on the night of that
day.
Such was the alarm produced in the enc
my by this bold and successful exploit, that
a conference was upon the moment propos-
ed, and Jussuf Pacha himself was the first
who commanded his followers to lay down
their arms Internationally, and without
stipulations of any kind, and to pass over to
our camp.
In the course of the night, and on the
next morning, his example was followed by
the whole garrison, save only the Captain
Pacha, and a few followers, composed of
his immediate suite, who threw themselves

LATEST FROM THE PACIFIC. The fol-
lowing summary of intelligence is extracted
from Lima papers received at Baltimore:
The authority of President Sucre had
been entirely suppressed in Bolivia, by the
Peruvian forces under command of Gen.
Gammara, and the Colombian troops had
been embarked at africa for Guayaquil.
The Bolivian Constituent Congress assem-
bled at Chuquisaca on the Sd of August
last, and Gen. Santa Cruz was elected
President, and Gen. Velasco, Vice -Presi-
dent. On the 10th Sept. the English ship
Porcupine arrived at Callao from Cobilah,
having on board Gen. Sucre and suite.
Application having been made to the Exec
utive, permission was granted to him TO pro-
coed to Guayaquil, for which port he ac-
cordingly sailed in the American ship Por-
tia. The Peruvian Government had issued
proclamation under date of 9th Sept, de-
claring the ports of Colombia between the
ATTITUDES of nine degrees north and three
degrees six minutes SOUTH to be in state
of blockade, to take effect in eight months
for vessels from Europe, the United States
and Africa, four months from Mexico, Bra
I'll and Buenos Ayres, and two months from
Chill and Central America. All vessels in
PRODUCING contraband of war, into the ports
above described, after the expiration of the
above periods of time, will be sent to Cal
lao for adjudication: and vessels touching
at the above ports after having been warn
ed off shall also be sent TO Callao for trial.
President La Mar was expected to sail in
day or two in the frigate Prueba for the
north, to take command of the army; and
vessels were chartered to proceed to africa
to receive the troops under Gammara,
who were also destined to join the northern
army. An engagement between the Co
lombians and Peruvians was daily expect
ed.

ExTRAoRDINARY ABSTINENCE. A case
of extraordinary suffering and abstinence
lately occurred in this village. On Satur-'
day evening, the 9th of Nov, during q
storm of wind and rain, a struggling man,
in sailors dress, came into the tavern of
Samuel Carman, near the Fulton Ferry
and asked'if he could have lodging. On
ascertaining his destitute condition, Mr..
Carman, gave him some supper, and showed
him the way into the barn, where he could
sleep comfortably among the hay. Such
circumstance was very common, and was
quite forgotten by Mr.. Carman who, on the
following Monday, took load of hay into
the barn, and few days after another.
The poor sufferer thus lay under the hay
until Monday, the 25th, at O'Clock in the
afternoon, being nearly sirteen days! He
was apparently sick when he went into the
hay, and when taken out had nearly the
appearance of dead man, with long
beard, and utterly helpless. He was in
stantly refreshed and nourished, and sent
to the aims house, and is now able to walk
about. 1t appears that his name is John
Wall, about 46 years old, and lately dis
charged from the United States service.
He had several apples and some chesnuts
in his pockets, which is all the nourishment
he could have received.

SUDDEN DEATH. Last week young man
by the name of Edward Watkins, while
assisting to put upa building, at Railway,
N. j., accidently wounded his hand, just be-
low the ball of the thumb, by a rusty nail
which penetrated about three Fights of an
inch. He continued his work, although the
wound panied him severely, for about an
hour, until he was called to dinner; when
the pain had become SO excruciating as to
prevent him from eating. The lady of the
house having bound up his hand, which was
kept wet with camphorated spirits, he sat
by the fire during the time the family were
at dinner, and continued there, in the same
posture, for about twenty minutes after !;
when one ofthe family, supposing him to be
asleep, suggested the propriety of moving
him back lest he might fall into the fire
On moving the chair, he fell over on his
face, and was then discovered to be dead.

OPP. A laughable and rather expensive
mistake was made by Portuguese officer
in Plymouth, the other day, owing to his ig--
norance of the English language. He had
invited small party of his brother officers
to dine with him; and that they might fare
sumptuously, he ordered his landlady to-
provide 20 legs of mutton. The landlady
demonstrated with him, saying, he must be
in error, and even if he were not, it was
impossible for her to dress such quantity
of meat. Remonstrance was, however, i'm
vain. The mutton was purchased, and for
the sake of variety, part of it was roasted,
part boiled, and part baked. At the APP
pointed time the guests arrived, and the
landlady commenced serving up dinner.
When the fifth leg was brought into the
room the host was astonished, and said he
did not'want any more. The answer was,
that there were Is legs more to bring up,
and that it was in accordance with his
order. An advertisement took place, when
it turned out that his wish was to have 90
sleeps trotters, instead of 90 legs of NUT
ton.-PlymOatth, Eng.) Journal.

A very ludicrous incident took place late
ly in the village of Patiemur, near Dunferm-
line, Scotland A young man who had
been rather half seas over, determined to
pay his sweetheart visit; but she heing
unwilling to admit him, after trying both
door and window, he resolved to enter the
cottage by the chimney top" o love will
venture in where it darena weel be seen;"
but here he was both in and out, for he
stuck fast in the chimney. He had got so
far down that his feet were visible, but
further he could not go. The cries he ut
tered calling upon his dear love to extricate
him from his dreful situation we're tremen-
dous. The family was alarmed, the girl
tainted, the doctor was sent for from n
neighboring village, and couple of masons,
who were under the necessity of digging
breach over the fireplace, and taking him
out in very dismal condition, after sticking
there for several hours.

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT. In WilIiamstown,
Nov, ~, Mr.. Thomas Cox rose in the morning,
and, after kindling fire in the kitchen went
out for further supply of wood In his abb
sence, his little daughter, between two and three
years old, rose and went into the kitchen, and,
approaching too near, the flames caught her
night-gown, which was of calico her father
coming in at this instant, tore the burning gar
ment from his child, but not till she was very
severely burnt. She fingered in the most ex-
treme agony for about seven hours, when death
put period to her sufferings.
FIRE. On Sunday morning last, the Eastern
Wing Of the Massachusetts, General Hospital in
Boston, was discovered TO be on fire, and before
the flames were suppressed, the establishment
sustained damage to the amount oft or $4,000
dollars. Such is the condition Of the Hospital,
owing the large quantities of salt water thrown
into it from the engines, that most, if not all
the patients, will have to be removed. Every
bed and room Of the Hospital was occupied, and
consequently the fire was most distressing. II
is supposed to have caught from defect in tho
chimney. II was feared for time that the
costly edfice would be entirely destroyed
