their Commodore but in consequence OF
The thick and ioggy weather, they both ran
a shore the 18th, and the French comman-
der knew not what was the fate OF their
crews, when Capt. Hastings arrived. Per-
mission was, therefore, granted to the Ferre;
to enter the port, and Capt, Hastings had
the horror of learning. on his arrival at the
residence ofthe British Consul, that lI0
neads of His Christian Mojesty's sailors had
been brought To the Deys palace, and that
Senior Captain and eight men were all that
had been brought into the town alive. - Not

200 dollars is offered for every head of a
Frenchman. This information was obtained
on the spot, from the Foreign Consul resi-

Frepchmen heads piled up thus barbarously
and others had spoken with the Senior French
Captain, whose recital and miraculous es-
caPes were enough to make the blood thrill
while telling it.

WIR1"S GRAFTON

A lady of New Brunswick, In a letter to
her friend in this city, speaks in the follow
ing terms oil the address delivered by Mr.
Writ, before tie Literary Societies OF Rut-
gers College. Those who have enjoyed the
pleasure OF hearing this distinguished orator,
on any OCCASION, viii! not deem the descrip.
ton extravaganza. Nat Int.
" have not language to express the effect
produced on my mind by Mr.. Wiris Grafton.
The manner, style, sentiments, eloquence,
were all so, pecular-so different from any
thing had ever heard before, that | hardly
know how 10 describe my feelings. You
know his appearance, and how well 1t is cal
culated to call forth admiration and concilI-
ate regard. Before he uttered word was
prepussessed in his favor and when he
spoke, his first sentence, won the heart.
There was something so delicate, SO yelled,
IN the modesiy of his apology-such an APP
pearance of truth, yet so much refinement
that like the dew OF mist tn the landscape,
Ills talents became more admirable by the
shade he threw over them.
4" / cannot attempt an analysis of the ad-
dress.-lt will doubtless be published you
will then Judge of the excellent sense, the
sound maxims Of life, drawn, as he said, from
his own experience the beauty of his clas-
sic illusions, the variety OF his topics, the
lucidness of his arguments. But the graces
OF his manner, the rich and mellow intona.
tons of his voice, not even your imag ination
can supply. 1t was the highest tract OF elo-
quence 1 ever enjoyed.
Notwithstanding the heat and the crowd,
listened nearly two hours with unwearied
and unabated interest, only dreadiDg, at eve-
ry pause that he was coming too soon 10
close-lhat the charm of his eloquence was
to be dissulved-HIs last sentence completed
the captivatoh commenced by the first (;
and when he ceased To speak, there was
silence of many seconds throughout the
whole audience, as IT they were spcll-boUnd.
Such an effect never witnessed Uetore ::
similar to the feeling Produced by fine mu-
sic, when the suspended sense seems to lin
ger on the departed sounds
What a magic is there in eloquence F!
How wish he was in the pulpit, and these
noble talents were consecrated To the noblest
cause But it is possible, nay probable, that
his wise admonltIons may come with more
power TO the hearts of the audience, than
they would fr0na preacher or professor.
To hear IA man oil the world, who knew what
the world coutd gioe, pronounce it wholly
insufficient to Eli the heart, and recommend
ing religion as the only solid good, must car
ny conviction TO the youthful mind
May this most interesting speaker taste,
by experience, those pure and holy pleasures
he recommended SO powerfully to the youth,
who hung on his eloquonce.

HORRID MURDER.

The murder Of James Selby, was recently
committed on the Mississippi river, BY WIN.
Lockhart, under Me most aggravating cir
cumstances.
1t appears from testimony, at tho trial, that
Mr.. Selby, was pedlar on the Mississippi,
and that he had in his employment man by
the name of May6cld, who assisted him in
working the boat. Lockhart got on board
about 80 miles above Helena, for the purpose
OF descending the river. Having asccrtained
that Mr.. Sclby had considerable money,
which he had taken in OH the sales of his car
go, he formed the plan of numbering and
robbing him, by means of threats, induced
Mayfe to jnin him.
! 1t must here be noticed, that Mayfield was
first aTraigncd an indictment for aiding
and abetting in the murder, and acquitted
and then used as witness in the trial oil
/ Lockhart.]
Mayield's testimony is clear and positive,
as TO the fact of tho murder. He swnre that
Lockhart threw the old man (Selby) into the
:iver, and that Selby asked hun May field) to
help him in; that he took hold of his hand
and was helping him into the boat, when
Lockhart interiered, and prevented him from
doing So The old man begged him for Gods
sike not to kill him; that lie would give hiIi
all his money and every thing he had, if he
would spare his life, 50 that he could once
more see his wife and children. Lockhart re-
Piled with an oath Ill kill you, any how,
tor 1t ldon't, you will have me hung for wha,
have done; and pushed him again into
the river, and struck hun three or four blows
which Alayheld thought must have been ia,
tai to the victim The witness afterwards
saw what he supposed to he the liieless bod
ot Selby, floating motionless in the water.
This witness was the only one who swore po-
stively 10 the murder, but his testimony cor
responded so well IN every particular, and
was corroborated by the circu,nstuntial Tea ti-
mony OF 80 or ~ other witne ,ses, as TO leave
no doubt on the minds of the Jury of its cor
RICHNESS throughout.
Alter the Murder, Lockhart found n con.
siderable sum OF money estimated from $500
to $l4UO, a small portion winch he gave to
Mayheld. He then, after taking out few
trunks of goods, sculted the boat, and sent
her adritt. The boat was shortly aitcrwaid
taken up near Helena, under circumstances
which led to the apprehension of Mayield
and his confessions OH the examination, led to
the pursuit OF Lockhart, who was few days
afterwards taken in Missouri, and brought
back for trial.
The Jury were out only few minutes,
when they returned with verdict of q UIL-
