RHODE lsLANp.-.A correspondent Of the

RHODE lsLAND.-.A correspondent Of the
Maine Age, in speaking of the glorious
consumalion Of the labors of the people Of
Rhode Island, says: 1.-The movement was
commenced about a year since by few
enterprsing, independent spirits, and its
rapid success exceeded the expectations of
It's most sanguine friends. After several
parades and mass conventions, and hume
rous meetings, convention Of delegates
was called to frame and lay before the
people, for their adoption, Constitution.
This has been done, and the Constitution
has been adapted by an overwhelming ma
jority, including in the number majority
of the freemen, as they are called,) or
present voters.
The Constitution is similar to that Of
Name, in its general provisions, with the
addition of some capital restrictions which
are original; for instance, the Legislature
cannot contract debt against the State
Of more than $4,000, without a vote Of
the people.
The new Government under the Consti-
tuition will go into operation in May next,
and then the present British Government
must die for want Of breath.
This revolution has been accomplished
in opposition TO, and independent Of, the
existing Government. 1t is emphatically
the work Of the people, They rose in their
might, and said, WE WILL BE FREE ~
and they have triumphed. The peoples
constitution will be proclaimed as the Su-
preme law Of the State, on Thursday, 18th
inst. at II o'clock, NJ. and then you may
imagine that you hear the report Of cannon
and the shouts Of thousands Of American
freemen, who have been freed from bon
dage."

GREAT EXCITEMENT

MOI ciOlence IN Pittsburgh! Run on the Monon-

Ahack on The Bank by the infuriated pOpHLace,
armed aoiM pictures, shOoets, spades, Sell
In consequence of the paragraph in our
paper Of yesterday, headed "a specie
paying Bank" great run was made by
the citizens Of Pipetown upon the " Mo-
nongahela Bank" near the Gas Works !;
the institution, however, had suspended on
the day previous, after having been drain
ed of its specie, amounting to some eight
or ten hundred dollars, on that after noon7
Finding peaceable efforts unavailing, the
bank was attacked with picll-axes, spades,
shovels, &C., and in short time levelled
with the surrounding earth. The rags"
OF the institution are rotten and wholly
worthless, and one depositor, (whose name
has not transpred,) is a loser to the amo't
of s 900, which was placed in the bank
some time since for safe-keeping. Weare
sorry in being compelled to state that the
DIG-nitares of Pipetown were the chief
instigators of the attack on the Bank

1t is stated that a very large quantity Of
missionary clothing of every description,
was destroyed by the recent fire at Detroit.
1t appears that there were ninety large box
es, filled with clothing, dry goods, and or
binary wearing apparel, stored in one Of
the rooms of the Museum, on Griswold
street. Their aggregate value could not
have been less than 5000 or $1,000. They
belonged to the Presbyterian denomination
and were designed for the missionary
families in the Western States and Terri
tories.

THE GENEsEE.-The river is the high
est ever known atthjs season. The water
continued rising during the whole Of yes
tcrday, and is now pretty well up to the
highest point. The lands on both sides Of
the river IN the southern part of the city is
overf1Own. The lumber and boat yards
are under water. The road from Roches-
ter to ScottsviIe is overnown for about six
miles. We have not yet heard of much
damage to property.
We conversed with a gentleman yester-
day from the vicinity of O'ConneIsviIle,
who Informed US that all the lands were
overhown, and that the cattle and fodder
belonging to the farmers were in the most
imminent danger. Our informant came to
the city for the purpose Of taking the Re-
sident Canal Engineer up the river to wit
ness the devastations caused by the Ra-
pd Dam.
The Flood at the South-At Nunda
Valley the Kishaqua creek, one of the tri-
butaries Of the Genesee, has overAown its
banks and submerged the land in some
parts Of the village. The Allegany Ga
zette says that on the night of the 3d.
"The bridge on State street, south Of the
village is almost entirely swept away. A
shanty occupied by two families Of Irish,
few rods below the bridge, near the mar
gin Of the creek, was swept off about o.
clock this morning, and'th beds, furniture,
pork, beef, -four, carried away by the force
Of the water. The east end Of the bridge
on Mill street, near Ashley's tannery was
carried away. What other damage was
done on the stream below, we had not as
ccrlained when the paper went TO press"

The CLOSING SCENE OF COLTS TRIAL
Reception of the Verdict By the Prison
or and the Publjc.-After The able and
impartial charge of Judge Kent, which was
strongly condemned because it pointed 10
modified verdict the Jury retired. The
hall was full Of curious, anxious, praying
people. The officers listened at the key
hole, and from time to time communicated
the result of their observations. The
prisoner, attended by his counsel, and his
brother, laid himself down and fell into a
calm, profound sleep.
What were the scenes Of the Jury room
what means were used TO make those
who doubted the justice Of a verdict Of
murder, agree to that verdict, we do not
know. We do know that there were out
of doors, threats Of savage violence. We
know that men said publicly, That they
would not hesitate TO head a mob, if the
verdict should be other than it has been.
At four o'clock, the court was assem-
bed, the prisoner got up, walked round,
and faced the jury. Never did any NOR
tai, under such circumstances, show II
s,erner power Of mind than did John e.

he looked at each juror with his calm,
bright eyes, as if he would read their souls.
The usual question was asked, and the
foreman, in a clear voice, responded the
terrible GUILTY.
AT that instant, one shudder, or start
quick. violent, but momentary, passed over
the frame and features of the prisoner
and he stood again as firm, as undaunted,
as before. The court was surprised, his
counsel agitated, his brother much shocked,
he least of all.
Then the jury was polled-each an
swered separately to his name, and gave
in his verdict, and the penetrating eye of
the prisoner was on each. The first an
swered clearly and without emo,lon-the
second as well, the third held his handker-
chief to his face, and answered through
his tears-the fourth sobbed, aud the word
guilty choked in his throat. SO that il was
at first doubtful if he would be able TO say
it at all-and of the rest, atleast hall were
affected in the same way. 1t was terri
bic scene; but the prisoner was unmoved
