 Dst,ict No TsUenfy One to consist of the towns oi Bolton, Coventry, Columbia, Hebron, Mansfield and l Vernon. On the first page of to-days paper we publish the substance of the of Judge Howell upon Eli Bruce formerly sheriff of Monroe county, convicted some time ago ofbeng concerned in the abduction of the far-famed William Morgan; and also of the trial of two other persons, alleged consprators, and the conviction and sentence of one of them. In some of the western papers, these trials occupy ten twelve columns. We have copied, being sufficient, the most brief abstract we have seen. The excitement upon this Morgan affair is evidently growing weaker and fainter in the of NewYork, as we'll as ese- where---though there is still great deal more of it than the good order and harmony of society require MT. Spencer, the counsel employed by the state oe New-York, appears to have taken hold of the matter with the determination, possible, of probing to the bottom, and of bringing to light and punishment all who were concerned in this mysterious b,siness.-- , Success attend his efforts!
