CIRcuMsFANTIAL EVIDENCE.

melancholy instance of the uncertainty Of Cur
cumstanal evidence occurred at Gibraltar last Feb
ruary.
wealthy English merchant of that place, NAM
ed James BoxwelI, was convicted, upon that kind
of testimony, OF the murder of his own daughter.
On proceeding 10 the place of execution, he recog-
nized an EngIisfman named John Keats, who had
been active in procuring his conviction, whom he
forgave for his hostility he desired TO die in
peace with all the world. Keats seemed much af-
fec,ed by this, and just the sentence of the lazy
was about TO be executed, cried OUT "It is tina,
guilty, and not the convict" great sensation
was produced by this exclamation, when Keats
came forward and fully confessed his guilt. The
rope was immediately taken from the neck ofihis
victim, and the cap from his face, butit was oil too
late The wretched father was corpse-lhaving
died of grief and terror! Keats was taken TO Jail
amidst the execraiions Of the multitude, who were
with difficulty restrained from tearing him pieces,

CALIFORNIA.

II movement not the least Interesting of the
events of the day, is announced in the ST.
Luis papers. An association of adventure is
organizing for the purpose of emgrating to
the provinces Of Colifornia, and town in
Missouri is advertised as the place ofren>
devious, There is boldness, nay grand>
eur in the enterprise captivating to the Amer
lean taste. Il may be expected that numbers
of our adventul Gus population will respond to
the invitation. In the Western country many
impatient and daring spirits are found, by
whom tramp across the Rocky Mountains
to the shores of the Pacific, would be embrace
ed as a romantic adventure, and the very
acme of.gorious fun.n Besides there are
crowds of unfortunate debtors TO whom the
chance Of escaping the inpotnnities OF troub-
lesome creditors. and trying their fortunes in
the UNEMPLOYED. boundess West, win be a
very welcome release from the restrictions Sc
privations Of state of insolvency. It may
be supposed then, that there will be no scare. .
ity of volunteers. The party of emigrants will
be numerous, and we'll provided with means
and appliances of moving. The nature of
the country which the pilgrimage is to pass
requires that the travellers should be well
armed and equipped as their road lies through
q desert wilderness, and over rugged nouns
ta.ns inhabited by fierce and hostile tribes of
sayages.
Once arrived, however, al their place of
destination, there IS little danger to be appre>
hended from any quarter. The spot is too
remote from the populated parts of Mexico 10
be reached by a military expedition Besides
the Government at home is too busy in put
ting down domestic Instructions, topaz at
tention to the intrusion of Yankees on the ex-
.tlemc north western verge of their territory.
at any rate, whether molested or not, the
young colony will be strong enough ia Amcr~
ican rifles and Bowie knives to drive off a
larger army than Mexico can send against
them. As to the practlcability Of The enter
prise our auicipalions are most sanguine.
The country bordering on the Gulf of Califor-
mia, and The sea coast adjacent, is said 10 be
abe Paradise Of North America All present
4he region is unocenpied, and now presents
10 The Yankee invader, ample room and
verge enough,' for great democratic EN-
pre, as extensive as the twenty six States.
We hail with delight the march of enigra.
aionto the Westward, and venture the predic~
ton, that in a few years continuous line Of
6ourishing American settlements will extend
along the shores of The Pacific, from the
naonsh Of the Oregon 20 the extremity of the
Californian peninsula.
