M. Debel. the new Dutch Ambassador,

prove more fortunate, than his predeces-

INDICTMENT FOR MURDER-The Su-
preme Judicial Court commenced their
April term for Kent county, at East
Greenwich, on Tuesday last. ChiefJus-
tice Eddy delivered to the Grand Jury an
appropriate and highly interesting charge.
On Wednesday evening the grand Jury
presented to the Court true bill, ofin-
dictment against DAVID GIBBS and FAN.
NY LEACH for the murder of Sally Bur-
dick, at Coventry, on the 18th Of Februa-
~ last. They we're arraigned at EIGHT
o'clock In the evening, and severally
pleaded not guilty. The indictment, as
we are informed, charges Fanny Leach,
as being 'the principal, and David Gibbs
as accessary before the fact by procuring
aiding, couuselling, nbetting the murder.
At their request their trials were postpon-
ed to the next October term Of the Court,
and in the meantime they must remain
in confinement, the court having hereto
fore refused to take bail.-[Prov. Jour.

THE MAIN Po1Nr IN LAW. When
John Quincy Adams had about finished
hrs law studies with Mr.. Parsons Of New
burypot, (aflerwards Judge Parsons he
was told by Mr.. p. that there was one i'm
portant thing he had not impaired TO him,
and which It was very essential indeed
that he should know, but which he could
not impart to him unless he would pay
fifty dollars in advance. Mr.. Adams
hesitated at first, but finally handed over
the money. Mr.. Parsons pocketed the
fifty dollars, and then said, "This impor-
tant piece Of information is this: the main
point in iaw is good evidence" Mr.. Ad-
ans discovered no symptoms Of chagrin.
His features wore that same cold placidi-
ty for which they have ever been so char
acteristic. He doubtless inwardly re-
solved to make the most of his dear bought
information. Time passed on, and the
affair was apparently forgotten. Mr..
Parsons and M. Adams were on good
terms of intimacy--lhey were good friends.
One day Mr.. A. apparently in SOME
haste, met Mr.. Parsons in the street, told
HIN that he had got to make out a hun
dred dollars, and asked il he could lend
him that sum for few days. Mr.. Par
sons sa,d he could, and let him have the
No note or writing was given
Days and weeks had passed along, but
Mr.. Adams had not offered to return the
hundred dollars. At last Mr.. Parsons
met him and asked him it he had not for
gotten that he borrowed that sum Of him
and had not returned il. "Owe you n
hundred dollars!" said Mr.. Adams with
"have you any proof of Il"
.No," was the reply. "WeII, Mr.. Par.
,ons," said Mr.. Adams, ''you know that
he main point N iap Is good er1demee." /
The hundred dollars was never again cal

.4Kr. Moore and .aIr. Letcber.-After the decision of the Sherfs of the Con gfesslonai District of Kentucky in which these gentlemen reside, by which they a. wardedto MT. Moore the certificate of elec- ton, notwithstanding majority fthe votes were gwen for Mir. Letcher the former gentleman proposed to the latter, that they shen!d resign their respective claims to the seat ln Congress, and request a new cleo ton; and also that they should mutually withdraw from the new canvass for Con- gross. Mr Letcher declined accedine to either ot these propositions; or to do any act winch would seem to establish the cor rectness of the decision of the Sherifs- arguing, that should the new. doctrine ob- tam, that Sheriff has right to withdraw the Poll Books whenever he may please to do so, there could be no security that any election would be held yalid Some one of the sherlffs, 1t is contended, mightwithhold hIs poll book at the next comparison of votes, and thereby again defeat the will of 2 majority of the people. This corresporl- dehce IS Prehxed to an address from tbe late Minister; in which he announces his future intentions. He says that he will en- deaFor to ascertain the truth in relation to #'ne vote ot eaTT5trtl county, in which runor says there was much Illegal voting; and, af- ter excluding the Illegal votes on both sides flor he thinks there may have been some gwen to him also-if he has the sliehtest doubt oL hls right to a seat, he will with draw .all lnterPosition of his that would throw upon Mir.

Or when thou hest on thy bier,
