mr. EIdrldge,s Trial.


Yesterday afternoon David Paul Brown,Esq clos
ed the defence; he made able and brilliant adj
dress to the jury and drew forth rounds of applause
as he sat down. This unusual circumstance IN
court Justice evinced the great and deep feeling OF
sympathy that has recently sprung into existence In
favor of DR.. Eldridge. There seems to be no doubt
that he will be acquitted. John M Reid Esq spoke
to-day on behalf Of the Banks; but his speech did
not seem to make much impression on the jury, al
though it was certainly able argument, and re-
aected credit upon him an advocate When the
crowd applauded Mr.. Brown, the judge instantly
rose and queled the disorder, and very properly
too for such manifestations of feeling should be re-
pressed, and spectators should be impressed with
the dignity Iad soemnity Of court OF justice Or.
E. HIS borne his trial with deep humility, and
has caused much feeling in his favor, by the subda-
ed department in court. 1t came out at the trial
that crowds Of people, bank clerks, and others, came
down to the prison just after he arrested, and
he was shown off like Gagged beast, against his con-
sent. This is a shocking insult to any man, and
against all the feelings of common humanity.

state entitled act to preserve the purity of elee
tions and promote the convenience OF Legal voters,
and respectfully urge its immediate passage:
First-Because it provides for the registry Of tho
Eame OF every legal veter, by which careful scru-
tiny into the qualifications OF those who claim the
right, will be instituted, and is therefore well caica
late ehectuay to prevent the fraad corruption and
perjury which have heretofore been practiced TO SO
an alarming extent; and
Secondly Because it provides for dividing the
city fato convenient election districts to allow
the election and canvass Of votes to b. completed in
one day; thus ailordins an pporinndy to ali classes
Of our citizens TO deposit their votes convenient 10
their places OF abode without loss OF time-secures
the integrity OF the above suspicion of fraud,
and will b. found promo,ive Of the peace, good
der, and moral character of The community
Resolved, Tina, we highly approve of that section
Of the iaw which prov ides for the division of the
wards into districts, 20 TO take in all the votes
throughout the!city in single day, thereby giving
TO the aboriog man. the scebie and the old. an OPP
por,uni of depostine their ballots with little time
or trouble, and lessening riot, expense, eonius oD,
ard fand. often attendant upon three days heat
cd election in city containing three hundred thou
sand inhabitants.
Resolved, rhrt in republic where al! municipal
offices all laws the sacred rights Of civil and reli

insist upon the preservation OF the elective IRAN
chise in It's highest purity, aud to adhere to the nat
ural rights Of universal suffrage, exercised without
fear or intimidation, and placed beyondthe suspic ON
Of Illegal and fraud.
Resolved, That this sacted privilege which is the
great guaranty Of cur republican instiuions--the
shieid against oppression and the magma eharta Of
American lber,y-sbould be justly used without
abusing it, hat it should be secured in its legitimate
enjoyment free from the aggressiens Of party war;
fare and political strife, and a treasure beyond
price, be guarded against the dangerous influence Of
that corruption v tich can only be checked by the
sound and Wholesome regulations of Registry Act,
justly requiring from every claimant the proof Of

! One thing which vii slwaya &c
teet lasting and honofsbIe credit 20 the
fret Parliament 81 Lower Canada, - the
bill which was passed to protect the Qua
kers in the exercise Of their religion. This
act Of liberation is convincing proof,
that slthouqh the French Canadians who
were the great majority Of that Parliament,
are represented as ignorant, pfiest-ridden
and bigotted, they nevertheless mani
'esteG a spirit Of liberality which was
rarely initiated hy the Legislative Council
where the proud, aristocratic and selfish
members of the " established church of
Englan were holding the sway.
In our humble opinion the FIRST Provin-
clal House Of Assembly would have been
entirely spotIess, had they not made their
servie address to Prince Edward 10
which we have allnded above. Blu, for
tunately for the national character Of the
Canadians, that address did meet with
very fierce opposition from many well in
formed members, and il was carried only
through the intrigues and mannuvres Of
the most syeophantic place-hunter that
ever lived { Mr.P. Abe Bonnie, the member
for York, the same individual who had
signed the petition to His Majesty which
we have copied in No. IS of this volume,
praying that representative government
should not be granted to Canada) Before
we proceed any further, we think proper to
give our reader a statistical table of the LIST

North East Boundary.-The dispute
between the United States and Grea, Brit
ain, in reference to the Northeastern Boun-
diary, is attracting attention in England.
"If the course we pursue" says the Lon
don Shipping Gazette, sin The dispute
with China be found to be injurious to A
mericau commerce, there are elements al
ready at work Of character sufficiently
inAammable 10 render them not over fas-
,idous or puncDlious at finding out some
real or imaginary line Of distinction TO be
drawn between our proceedings and the
French blockades in South America. We
question, therefore, if we are over and "a
boye secure against being involved in a
quarrel with the United States, If we pro-
ceed to the blockade of the ports of the
Celestial Empire without declaring war.
At all events, it will be wise in ministers
TO act with circumspection, and weigh
we'll the probable consequences, before
thew are SO far committed, that they can
not retreat without sacrifice Of principle.

We are pleased 10 learn, by the COM
munication Of ga Graduate" the pros
perity of the Georgia Medical College.
We are not among those, if such there be,
who indulge an ungenerous jealousy Of
an institution dedicated to science, because
it is established ip another State. We do
not fear that the Georgia College will in
jure our own excellent Medical Institution
al Charleston. There i. need for both. in
the Southern community. Both, it is
hoped, will vie in generous rivalry with
each other, in impartinS the best instruc-
ton to those young gentlemen who are
engaged in the study of high and res
ponsible profession. Both, We trust, will
receive the support of an enlightened pub
lie. But few years since, there was no
Medical College, we believe, in the South
ern Stales. Our young men were COM
PEELED to 60 to Northern Institutions, to re-
ceive the instruction necessary for their
profession. These, excellent as they were,
did no, meet the wants Of Southern Stu
dents. A Medical College was establish
ed in Charleston, South Carolina, and for
number Of years, has been in successful
operation. 1t is now ranked among tho
first in the United States. Two or three
years since, another Southern Medical
College was established at Augusta, Ga,
and young as il is, it has attained high
ly respectable standing among The institu-
tions Of similar character. To use tho
language Of our correspondent, we believe
that its prosperity is placed beyond all
doubt

gives currency to tho following story. of
adventure:

item which smacks Of romance and nov

in company with Judge Bodley, fair
faced and juvenile passenger in pantaloons
arrayed, and OH stopping at the mansion
of Madam Dixon, the said parsonage was
consigned TO room in company with Sen
ator Thos. B. Rives.
In few minutes suspicious were set
afoat that the. stranger aforesaid was
woman, whereupou Mrs. Dixon in curious
trepidalion, repaired 10 the presence of
her new guest. "You are a woman"
said Mrs. d. "1know am," replied the
stranger, "but listen to my story" She
then related an adventure thai far eclipsed
the dangers braved by the lover Of Orlan-
do, she had been cruelty treated, her hus.'
band fled the country, and resolved TO
find him, she changed her dress, and went
to the Mississippi River, where she secured
berth on one of the steam boats as cabin
hoy. This life she followed up and down
the western waters for eight months; des-
pairing of the object of her auxlous pur-
suit she is now on her way TO the bosom
of her family in one of the eastern coun-
ties of Mississippi.
When her sex was discovered. several
ladies and gentlemen recalled her acquaint-
ance, and by the kindness of her friends,
she was soon transformed and conducted
TO the parlor, glilterins in all the splendor
of her sex. The stories she told were in
tensely interesting and all lrue-while
cabin boy she had two or three fights, IN
all of which she came of victorious!-
Who will say The Mississippi ladies are
not brave and do not love! We intend
10 write The history Of this lady for one Of
the ANNALS; the materials are ample, in
her beauty, chivolry, devotion, and other
heroic qualities Look out for The history
ofthe "cabia boy wife,"
