SUPREME COURT.

The trial of Amasa f. Walmsley, for
murder, which commenced before the Su-
preme Court in this place, on Wednes-
day last, terminated on Saturday after
noon. The jury retired and deiberated a
bout an hour s. half, when they returned
into Court and delivered verdict Of
GUILTY. The trial of his brother, Thorn
as j. Walmsley, indicted rs a partici-
pator in the same crime, was, on Monday
last, col.:nued to the next term. AS the
cases are intimately connected it is deem
ed improper to give any statement Of the
evidence on trial, until the fate of the
other prisoner is decided. 1t is said
these men are cousins of the man who
was recently executed in New-York for
piracy, in company with Gibbs.
On Monday afternoon the convict was
brought into Court, when, on motion of
the Attorney-Gcneral, the CHIEF Justice
pronounced the awful sentence of the
law. The Court and most of the spec
tators were much affected, but the prs-
oner alone seemed to be entirely unmo-
we'd. The prisoner being interrogated by
by the Clerk if he had any thing to say
why sentence of death should not be pro-
nounced against him, made no reply when
Chief Justice Eddy addressed him us fol-
lows:
AMAsA + WALMsLeY, on the indict.
ment found against you by the Grand Ju
ry Of this county for the murder Of John
Burke, you have been arraigned, & tried
by a respectable Jury Of Freemen of
this county, of your own selection. You
have had the aid of able and faithful coun-
sci to defend you before that Jury. You
have had the aid of the Government in
procuring for you, at their expense, the
attendance Of such witnesses as you de-
sired, with all other means Of defence re-
quested, by yourself or counsel. You
have had every indulgence in the power
of the court to give, that has been asked.
BY the Jury by which you have been
thus tried you have had patient and full
hearing. In all respects you have had a
fair and impartial trial. BY this Jury un-
der their oath to render true verdict in
your case, you have been pronounced
Buitv Oi tue CIIInc Vi NluIueI as CudTSeu
upon you.
The law declares, that every person
who shall be duly convicted ofthe crime
Of murder, shall suffer death.
1t also declares, that the punishment Of
death shall be inflicted by hanging the
person convicted, by the neck, until dead.
You having been thus convicted and
adjudged by this court to suffer this pun
ishment, it is my duty to pronounce the
sentence of the court thus adjudged.
Previous to which, will remark, that
though my duty does not require, nor
have l any wish, by placing before you
the enormity Of your offence, unnecessa-
rily to excite your own feelings, or to en-
cite the feelings Of others against you,
It NAV not he improper to say, that il be-
comes you seriously to reflect on the sol.
emn consequences of that event, placing
you before another tribunal, compared 10

RCMORS OF T!IE CHOLERA AT
TOPSHAM, l.Nel

The Portland advertiser of Saturday
evening states that some excitement had
been produced in Tint vicinity by n suppo-
sed case of spasmodic Cholera which oc-
CURED at Topsham three or four days
previous. The patient was girl about
l2 years of age. Her brother had just
returned from sea, and had been sick with
the Cholera at Hamburg, and it appear
ed that the clothes which he wore while
sick were brought home in his chest and
had not been cleansed, and that the girl
was the first who opened the chest, han
died the clothes and took up garlic
which was in the chest and bit it. The
mother had also been affected with nau-
sea onhandlng and washing the clothes.
Many Of the symptoms of the patient
were 80 like the cholera, and the facts
stated above so suspicious, that the case
might well be a startling one. The pa
tent however, under the treatment she
received, began to be better in few
hours, and though she had slight relapse
the next morning, she is now nearly re-
covered. No other case has occurred or
any circumstance calculated to increase
the alarm. DR.. Mexican and Prot. Mus
sey, the medical gentlemen who attcn-
ded, although they do not feel entirely
satisfied as to the nature of tho disease,
give il as their opinion that there is no
cause for any further alarm.

A CARD no THE EDITORS.

The author of the Numbers recently published in the
Enquirer, under the signature Of Gan Economist, re.
turns his thanks to the Editors for the unexpected and un-
solicited praise Of " candour and clearncss" which, in the
note appended TO the last Number, they have bestowed
on his hasty illusions; and while he regrets that, in some
OF his views, he should differ with those whose approba-
ton might have insured him that Of so many others, he
thinks that both he and the readers Of the Enquirer have
some reason TO complain that the points of disagreement
were not specified, especially as If the Economist possessed
the qualities attributed TO him, he would either have seen
his errors and acknowledged them, or so defended them
that their fallacy would have been manifest. In truth, he
feels no particular prediction for any opinion advanced in
those essays, and there is not ono which he has not found
occasion to modify, more or less, from his earlier concep-
hons. And although he admits that nc has bestowed
=" much study" on the subject, yetif the Editors have stu
died 1t yetmoro, or studied IL TO greater advantage, as is
implied by their discovering his errors. he assures them
that nc is ready TO profit by their superior lights, and not
only to surrender his opinion, but TO give them his thanks
into the bargain.
The Economist had no personal purpose 10 serve-no
party TO fear or propitiate. But believing that, on this
question Of the Tariff as on all others in which the pas
slons arc suffered to mingle, both parties had pushed their
doctrines too lar, he thought that some Of these extremes
might DC pointed out so clearly az To meet the assent of the
discerning aud unpreiudiced portion Of either sect. And
as to those questions which did not admit Of 80 satisfactory
a demonstration, he conceived that II would be not with
out It's use, particularly at this time, to state those ques-

APOLOGY AND EXPLANATION

1t is unnecessary to say how much mortified we are a {
our being compelled TO reduce the size and quality of our
paper this morning. We were in hopes that we should
have been able to avoid it. Many other papers have been
"curtailed in their fair proportion" by the same cause
the unprecedented spell of cold weather we have expe-
ricnccd so early in the season, accompanied by the obstruc-
ton Of our navigation. These are 'spinching times,' as a
Western paper said; and we must now submit to a lot
which has affected so many Of our brethren. What hui
man foresight could have provided, VIC have done. We
have put our Contractors under a heavy penalty, to insure
a constant supply of paper--A large lot Of il has been
ailoat in N. York since the middle Of the last month. Our
contractor Gn this city, dispatched an agent in the steam
boat on Thursday morning to sweep the whole river for
the vessel he expcctcd-but it turns out that this vessel
(the Fairfield, Capt. WORTH did not clear out from New
York until Wednesday last. We shall, therefore, be re-
duccd to the necessity Of printing our paper of smaller
size, until we can obtain our customary supply. We trust,
by Saturday, that the Enquirer "will be itself again.
In the mean while, we must put its contents upon the
small estdbhshrnent-its Editorial, as well as its Selec-
tons-we shall sacrifice the former indeed to the latter.
