Tile speech of Mr. CTiltenden was clear, direct in

The TRIAL OF EpwARns.-We republish from our
Extra of last evening, sketch of Judge Kents charge
to the jury in this important case, the trial OF winch
has jus, closed Though marked by all that mpara'l-
ty and perfect rmness which characterize all his ad-
dresses the jury it is powerful and unanswerable
argument against the prisoner Its weight with the Jury
must have been great and find it diicultn any way
account for their proracted absence. The case was
submitted TO them at about o'clock, and up to u
last night they had not agreed. How they stood, we
have no intmation. From the singular manifestations
on the part of of the jurors, thought through
the trial that We perceived strong and most unac.
counable bias in favor Of the prisoner. II could not
certainly have arisen from any thing the evidence
for fever defended by manufactured testl-
mony, in our candid Judgment this was one If Ed
wards escapes conviction in this we shall well
nigh despair of obtaining justice-except by &C
cident-from iury.-B.

iror' the rccert rams There have been several very
heavy showeFs-and on Monday night, it raincd in
ces,ahy, ard continued nearly the whole of Tues
day. Development: are mixing every day, and al.
most every hour--but the impression seems 10 be
gaining ground, that the rust has smar,ly injured
the harvest. One farmer told yesterday morn
ing that it would be fair crop-In half an hour af
forwards, another very extensive proprietor who ex
pecled 10 make near 10000 bushels, aud who thought
Monday that his wheat beyond the reach of the
rust told US, from the side of The steamboat, with
significant shake of the head, that the wheat be-
coming than he expected. They have COM
menced cutting at different poinis-and the operation
will be pretty general in the of three or four
days. The corn is improving under the late rains
though, in consequence of the cold weather OF the last
three q four weeks, it is backwa for the season.
We understand, that the wheat on the upper James
has sustained much damage from the rust-and on
the Roanoke from the hail.

minority of the Committee Of Manufactures, who states
to me- that its calculations may be relied on. What
sort of Tariff we VIII have il is impossible 10 say

not sanclioning any Tariff bill that exceeds twenty
per cen,um unicss Distribution Is Abandoned. At
the same time, thirty of Mr. Clay friends par
e,ceencc declare, that if distribution is to be arrested
if the duties exceed 20 per cent, they could GO for no
higher duty, but will take that and distribution, taxing
the free list; yet the manufacturers have so uniformly
succeeded in their projects of taxation, that am in
clined to think they will somehow other abandon
distribution and get Protective Tariff. should also
state to you as Of the difficulties in the way, that
the Democrats of Pennsylvania say that they will not
vote for any Tariff bill retaining distribution.
