PoRrUoAL.-From a correspondent Of
the London Morning Herald, dated Lis
bon. July l0th.--The news from the block
aiding squadron off Terceira is ofthe most
extraordinary description. They lsAely
captured two British vessels and an A.
merican ono. The cargo of the Ameri-
can ship, bound from New Orleans to Ma.
deira, was also Of value, and taken about
81 miles from Terceira. The Captain,
being owner, has lately met with severe
losses; he was plundered six months since
by pirates, and lost $4,000 dollars: and
now his ship, and ergo worth $4,000
dollars, are in the hands Of Miguel IL
who wants money also.
Mr.. Brent, the American Charge d. Af
faires, has returned from Madrid, afler On
absence ofthrce months; and he now d.
clares that tho misery Of the people is fas
greater than he could have supposod.-- -
This confession ofthe State ofthe country
from man Who, six months ago, recos-
mended IN amnesty 10 Miguel, speaks
volumes.

Trial for Murder.-It will be recollect
ed that Oliver Watkins, of Sterling, Conn
was sometime since tried and convicted Of
the murder Of his wife, before the Supe-
riour Court at Brooklyn.-That he NOV
ed the court in arrest ofjudgment, which
was overruled, and sentence Of death was
passed upon him. He then petitfoned
the Legislature for either new trial or a
commutation ofthc punishment to inpris-
onment for life in the Connecticut State
prison. The Legislature reprieved him
until he could apply for new trial. A
new trial was granted him, which eame
on last week, on Tuesday, at Brooklyn,
and was not finished until Saturday.
There were nearly seventy witnesses ex-
amined on the trial, and although he was
defended by some ofthe most able coun-
sellors, yet after the jury retired for con-
sultation they returned in short time
with verdict Of Guilty. We learn that
his counsel made a motion in arrest Of
judgment, which was argued on Monday,
and that on Tuesday morning the court
gave their opinion, overuling the motion.
They subsequently passed sentence Of
death upon the unfortunate mani Prov
idence Journal.

The ScoRPIoN.-The following illustra-
tion Of fact mentioned in natural history,
occurred few weeks since in London
A gentleman connected with the custom
heuss found in case Of sugar, in the Lon
don docks, a small scorpion, measuring
about two inches from one extremity to
the other. He took il home, and put il
upon a cold plate under glass, where the
little reptile appeared to be almost torpid,
but on warming the glass il became full OF
life. 1t was then stated by gentleman
present, that he had heard that the scor-
pion, ifa found itself 10 danger Of meeting
with painful death, would sting itseli, /,
and cause it's own immediate destruction.
To ascertain the fact, circle Of about
three inches in diameter was drawn about
the scorpion, and covered with cotton dip
ped h spirits Of wine. This being ignit-
cd, the scsspion made every possible EFF
fort to escape; |; but finding escape impracr
tioabls ssd heginning to feel the effects Of
the Ars, 4 hiuslantIy surned up it, tail, and,
win considerable force, struck the sting
