 Yankee Versus Yankee. or how to collect q debt.-A few days since Connecticut Cap. tain. came into this port with small vessel load of apples. While he was retailing then, out, there came down to the vessel among other customers hawk eyed open mouthed jockey, with an old square-rih horse and wag- gon, and after inquiring the price. he agreed to take twenty bushels. Ten bushels were measured up and put into his wagon, when he said he would go up to his store and carry them, and come back for the remainder. The Captain waited in vain for the pur- chaser to return, and at last began 10 suspect that he had been jewed. Three or four days passed away, and upon inquiry he found it was undoubtedly bad debt, hopeless case. At last the Captain was informed that his
 
 street, with wagon load of meat and vege- tables. A Connecticut Yankee is not slow for | an adventure; so he rigge6 out his mate in his best suit and sent him up to make a pur- chase. The mate fell in with the market man and began to barter him for meat and vegetables. We'll, Captain, they are first chop and you shall have 'em cheap. At length the price was agreed upon for couple 0f quarters of veal, a couple bushels of pOla- toes, and few cabbages. And now Captain, where will you have them? Q just drive down the wharf by the side of my vessel.- So down they went, and the articles were delivered and safely placed on board the ves- sel. when the Connecticut Captain pnkeG his head up out of the cabin, and politely told his old customer that he would give him credit for these articles on the apple score.- Jonathan, after looking unutterable things a. while, wheeled about and marched off, mutt tering that if there was any law in the land he'd see if he couldn't collect it,-Pors.

 The trial of David Sherman. of Norwich, for the murder of his wife in June last. took place at New London last week, before Chief Justice Daggett and Judge Williams. The Jury found verdict of GUILTY, and the pris- Oner was sentenced to be executed in June next. The delay of the execution for sO long a period, we suppose. is intended to allow the prisoner an opportunity, usually granted 'un- der similar circumstances, for an appeal tn the mercy of the Legislature.
 We have seen no particulars of the trial, but understand the murder as disclosed by the evidence, was marked with peculiar atrocity, and like great majority of similar cases. was the fruit ofintem2erance.- Hartford Cour.
 Salaries in the British Procinces.-The sal ary of the Governor of Lower Canada is 1O,- 0OOL sterling, besides prequisites to the a. mount ofabout 10000. This is about dnub:e the amount received by the President of the United States. while his expenses probably do not amount to one tenth of the actual and necessary expences of our President. An of ficer who receives so large sum can live we'll and certainly ought to govern well.
