EXAMINING A WITNESS.

Sergeant Buzluz now rose with more
importance than he had yet exhibited,
if that we're possible, and vociferated,
a." Call Samuel Weller"
1t was quite unnecessary to call
Samuel Weller, for Samuel Weller
stepped brskly into the box the instant
his name was pronounced; and pla-
cling his hat on the floor, and his arm
on the rail, took birds eye view oil
the bar and a comprehensive survey oil
the bench with remarkably cheerful
and lively aspect.
What's your name, sir? 7" inquired
the Judge,
"Sam Weller, my lord" replied
that gentleman.
"Do you spell it with a w or u
Nv 2" inquired the judge.
"That depends upon the taste and
fancy of the speller, my lord" replied
Sam, =" never had occasion to spell il
more than once or twice in my life,
but spells it with w."
Here a voice in the gallery exclaim,
ed aloud, "Quite right, too, Samivil
quite right. Put it down we, my
lord, put it down We"
"Who is that, that dares address the
Court 7" said the little Judge, looking
up" Usher"
"Yes, my lord"
bring that person here instantly"
Yes, my lord"
But, as the usher didn't find the per.
son, he didn't bring him; and, after a
great commotion, all the people who
had got up to look for the culprit, sal
down again. The little judge turned
to the witness as soon as his indigna.
ton would allow him to speak, ana
said

/" rather suspect it was my father

DO you see hun here now?" sRid
the Judge.
"No, don't, my lord" replied Sam
staring right up into the lantern in the
roof of the court.
elf you could have pointed him out
would have committed him instantly
said the judge. Sam bowed his ac.
Acknowledgement, and turned with unim.

A MASSACHUSETTS Tows-The follow
ing extract Of letter. published in the
Boston Morning Post. is said TO give very
just description of Beverly, town in the
neishborhood Of Salem.
There are few places in Massachusetts,
that are likely to suffer so little under
our present difficulties as the old town Of
Beverly. This place contains over four
thousand inhabitants. and there is proba-
Div more equality there in the distribution
of property than in any other village in
the world. Beggars are extremely few,
and there is not an individual in the place
who is possessed Of an oyergrown fortune.
This town supplies officers FOR merchant
vessels 10 every port on our coast, and so
it always has done hence wealthy men
are in every large city, who commenced as
seamen from the town of Beverly. A
stranger, upon visiting Beverly, would re-
mark upon the Stiffness and the dulness Of
the place, and make reflections, perhaps,
upon the apparent want of enterprise
among the inhabitants. This apparent
want Of enterprise is entirely falacious. If
an estimate could be made, Beverly would
furnish larger catalogue Of enterprising
men than any other town of its size
Though there is no great hustle among the
inhabitants, yet there is great deal of 81
lent industry among those who reside there
and great deal of enterprise among
those who have left the place, 10 seek their
fortune elsewhere. No place can be found
which has been SO lamentably drained of
its native population. There is hardly a
family there but mourns the loss of more
than one male member, who has sacrificed
his life on some foreign coast and many
others can enumeraie connexions who
have made their fortunes there during the
better days Of commerce, and then emf
grated to some other town. X has been
said that Beverly has seen its best days.
We may say with equal truth il has seen
its worst There is at the present time an
appearance OF a great deal Of moral thrift
among its inhabitants. A great many neat
cottages aud dwelling houses have been
