pbrs,oIoou-A trial was lately held before
the Supreme Court of Maine, of boy aDout
ten years of age, who was found guiity OF
manning another boy, some years younger, III
the most wanton and cruel manner; ane was
sentenced to nine years. hard LABOR In tne o'ates
Prison. One ground of the defence was, that
the prisoner possessed certain prominences on
his Uranium, called by the phrenoiogists the OF
gan of destructiveness; and that on this GROUND,
connected with that of an early injury, ne was
incapable in the eye Of the law OF commnting
crime. One physician testified that he hao ex'
amined the prisoners head, and discovered
depression on the top: another said that mere
was an unusual depression ABOUT inc lunsuo"
of the parietal and frontal bones tnlrd oe-
clared that there was something unusual IN the
appearance Of the head-a want OF symmetry.
It was proposed by the prisoners counsel 10 exa,
mine the last witness as to certain elevations ana
depressions of the skull of the prisoner, and
their tendency and influence, ACCORDING 10 the
system ofphrenology. The Court held that the
examination must be confined TO the opinion OF
the witness as physician or surgeon. In the
course of his charge to the Jury, according to
the report ofthe Portland Courier, Judge Emery
observed:
SIT is said that the head has large peculiar
formation called the organ OF destrnctiveness:
There is no disposition TO keep out OF Courts OF
Justice true sciences but, on the contrary, TO pay
il marked Difference. III a question were Iaiseo
here, as to fact occurring in the East lndies'
and by two persons it should be said to nave oeen
full moon at that time; and Astronomers should
be called, who should demonstrate, from calcu.
ations, that there could not have been full
moon at that tme it would be proper evidence
for Jury. So, if dyers be called, as to the ell
feet of chemical combinations upon colors; or u
physicians be called to show the effects OF poison
upon the human frame, such is competent testl-
mony. But whenit shall have been demonstra-
ted by proof like this that bump here or
bump there shall effect the mind: either to
destroy the powers of mind, or decidedly 10
alter its character, then, and not till then,
will such become proper evidence to be sub
mitted to jury. Where people do not speak
from knowledge, we cannot suffer mere the
ory to go as evidence to a jury; especially where
one says he is believer in the system, and has
no personal knowledge upon the subject. Our
decisions are made in the daylight and the jury
are Judges of law as well as Of facts"

AN. York paper, in an article on Texas says:
There appears to be very general feeling in
favor Of seeing this beautiful country annexed
to the United States" Is it desirable that any
territorial addition should be made to the Unit
ed States? We cover too great surface aIrca-
dy. The integrity of our territory required
that Florida and Louisiana should be united to
it; but what are we to gain by any farther en-
largement Of our boundaries?

You were kind to me once-will you frown on

When you stole out to WOO me, when labor was

And the day that was closing to US seemed be-

Or if we crept out amid darkness and showers!
No Patrick we talked while We braved the wild

And our hearts be lit up with beam from the

Heart in heart-hand in band-let us welcome

And. sunshine or storm, we will bear il together.

Advices from Jamaica to the 18th ult. have
been received by an arrival at New York. It
is inferred, from the character Of the proceed
ings before the Stpendiary Magistrates, that
the Island is far from being in state of tran
guilty. The slaves were quite refractory and
FESTIVE, and were frequently cited before the
magistrates for disobedience and ideness.
