1t appears that the Governor has, in his
order or warrant. declared The prisoner to
be foreigner How be was induced to
do this it is not my purpose to inquire
but the statement itself is papabie and
notorious error. 1t was well understood
form the beginning that Holmes was an
American citizen, and even his birth place
is known. But to place the fact beyond all
doub. or cavii, we have proved him To
have been born in the State OF New Hamp-
shire, where his parents still reside, and
that be is fully vested with The character
and privileges Of a citizen OF the United
States. Although we insist that the want
of LEGAL authority in the Governor extends
to foreigners as well to citizens, we wish
IN avail ourselves of the fact in this ease
that The prisoner is an American.
In conclusion, beg leave to remark,
that if we have succeeded in moth
inc more than to render the case doubt
full, in the opinion OF the Court, the surren-
der should not be made. In that case we
ought to wait until the question is more
clearly settled. The escape Of one man,
even # it should be the escape OF guilty
man, is infinitely preferable to surrender
upon doubtful grounds, and which may 50
easily prove to have been wrong. In the one
case there will be no remedy, nor any es-
cape from disagreeable and painful rehec-
tons In the Others it will at most be but
The escape OF one man and perhaps not
that, as the same man may possibly still BE-
found and reached. Besides, the prisoner
has already been six months in confinement
and has suffered not little.
But we feel the strongest confidence
that the Court will be convinced that we
are well founded, at least in some if not in
all of the principles we have advanced, and
that the prisoner will be set at liberty. In
this confidence we now submit our cause.

DR.. Hunts Botanical Pills.

III n the midst Of general and in many instances
H. not unfounded prejudice against many of the
medical remedies Of the day, DR.. HUNTS PILLS
have the envable distinction Of universal appro-
baton. They are perhaps the only medicine pub
Iicy advertised that has the full and unreserved
testimony of medical men in its favor, if not the
only one which gives full satisfaction to its pur-
chasers. Dir. Hunt has the satisfaction OF knowing
that his Pills not only recommended and pre-
scrlbed by the most experienced physicians in their
daily practice, but also taken by those gentlemen
themselves, whenever they feel the symptoms o
those diseases in which they well know them TO be
eifcacious.
These Pills, are confidently recommended for
the following complaints, and directions for use
accompany them: dyspepsia in all its lorms: bilious
and liver Affections in every stage and degree, e-
male sickness, more particularly the Nausea Incl
dent to mothers; -four albus fever and ague; incip
lent consumption or decline, whether OF the liver
lungs; headache and gddiness, loss Of Appellee
nervous trernors; ihebriaton, delirunl tremcns;
spasmodic affections of all kinds; the rheumatism
whether a chronic or inhamatory; nervous anbi-
ous fever ofevery variety; scroula salt rheum;and
all blotcbes. bad humors, and impure compilations
OF the skin; resessness at night, aud daily irra-

The great evil of our actual
position is the hopelessness of
the Provincial Government in
a pecuniary point of view. 1t
has no money available for its
most pressing necessities, and
although it owes no money it
cannot raise any ; either by
loan or legislative enactment.
Some immediate relief to our
actual position, was to be
expected from the legislative
interference of the Imperial
Parliament but they are
strangely ignorant of our
necessities, and while they
look on in amazement and
stupefaction, the bankrupt
state of Upper Canada, and
the debt with which they have
saddled her, combine, with
other causes, so as to alarm
wealthy individuals that no
one will advance the Provin-
cial Government a dollar

THE HOLMES CASE.

Extract from Hon C. p. Pan Ness's plea
in behalf Of the prisoner, before The
Supreme Court al Montpelier, ".
"And to what power is it desired to sur
render the prisoner' To the government
of foreign province! where we have al
ready seen the civil law, and trial by jury,
suspended, and where, If it is not to day,
ii will probably be again tomorrow. Every
man is to be presumed innocent until prov
ed guilty, and is entitled to fair ard i'm
partial trial. And who believes that an
American citizen could now have such a
trial in Canadal And has not enough of
American blood been shed there lately :
Must we at all hazards furnish them with
mores
Bot it appears that the King Of Eng
land, with all The Royal prerogatives, does
not possess the power which is claimed for
the Governor OF this state. The provision
OF our constitution which have endeavor-
ed TO explain, was copied from the great
charter of English liberty, and has there
been understood in different sense from
that which is here coniended for. Sir w.
Blackstone, in the Isl vol. OF his celebrated
Commentaries, makes the following re-
marks.
81 A natural and regular consequence OF
this personal liberty is that every English
man may claim a right 10 abide in his own
country so long as he pleases; and not To
be driven from il unless by the sentence
oil the law. No power on earth except
the authority Of the parliament, can send
any SUBJECT OF England out OF the land a.
gsinsi his will; no, not even a criminal. -
To this purpose The great charter declares
that no freeman shall be- imprisoned, un-
less By the Judgment Of his peers, or By
The law OF the land"
| must be allowed here to remark tina,
| can scarcely believe il a resliiy that We
are now dispuIing the question, whether
the Governor Of this State can exercise
sn authority over the person ofIhe citizen.

GREAT FIRE AT MOBILE.

Again has our i'll fated city been visited by "a
most destructive confagration. Another fire
broke out last evening between and 3 O'Clock,
in an untenanted house on the corner of Concep-
ton and Dauphin Streets which the unwearied
exertions of our citizens for hours were unable to
arrest. The wind was fresh from the East,
blowing directly across the city.
The only water TO be Obtained was from the
river, which was to Windward OF the fire, and
as there were not enough of engines and hose to
lead it around the machines were entirely use
less-n fact scarcely twenty hhds of water
were thrown by all of them combined. To say
how many houses were destroyed, is now an
utter mposibity, but the devouring element
has left twelve large blocks but so many heaps of
burning ruins.
Rising twenty houses were blown up by pow.
der, but rs the wind was very strong for the first
four hours That expedient proved almost entirely
unsuccessful, until near midnight, when happily
it became calm, and at Franklin street the pro-
gress of the flames was arrested.
The amount of property destroyed it is thought
will not fall short of A MILLION AND HALF OF
DOLLARS, and the misery and distress it has
occasioned, is truly heart rending. Not hess than
1000 persons made houseless, and almost
every article of their property DESTROYED, even
after it was, as they thought, conveyed to place
of safety.
So very rapid was the progress of the fire that
what ut one moment was considered a secure
spot, the next half hour was but heap of blaZ
ing ruins.
The buildings destroyed were, with but four
or five exceptions, all of wood. Those on
Dauphin street were mostly retail stores, and
those on the other streets dwelling houses. The
fire was evidently the work of ali incendiary,
as the place in which it originated bad been
unoccupied for the last six months. None of
our wholesale dealers and commission merchants
suffered.
Amidst all our calamities l am happy to say
that the sickness is abating rapidly. The bnrias
on the 9Th were only / on the Gth 2, and on the
9TH, 9; of these nine, the greater part were old
cases from the hospital

A REMARKABLE PRoDIGY.-The Belfast lire.
land) Chronicle gives the following account OF
David M 'Kevency, living in the Parish of Aug.
hagallon, county of Antrim:
"He was born without arms or legs, having
only two short stumps in place of arms, and as
to the legs, one is only few incher long, with
diminutive, shapeless foot, without any joint
intervening, SO as TO form thigh and leg.
The other is almost as long as in middle sized
man, but greatly deformed.
1t is extraordinary what this decripd man
cannot perform, as there scarcely any job in the
farm yard he cannot do, viz: he can thrash, and
and has done so the whole day before hired
man, he can harness and unharness horse,
clean stable or cow house, teiher a cow, tie up
with the stumps and throw on his shoulders a
bundle of clover and grass, 100 lbs. in weight;
he can shave HIMSELF holding the razor in his
toes, also use the knife or fork in the same man.
ner; he can dress and undress himself without
any assistance, balance cup or bowl, on the
flat of one OF the stumps drink out of it, and
lay 1t down in safey; he can assist ut the break
fast table, helping his mother to draw water,
lifting the kettle of boiling water with his toes,
and has occasionally helped himself to a cup out
of the teapot in tho same manner.-These are
only lew specimens of his bodily actions which
are far surpassed by his mental powers. 1t was
unfortunate 10 himself that he never received
any education: for, by the power of memory
alone, there is scarcely any arthmatical question
he cannot solve, and a great many mathematic.
