John Kelly confirmed he testimony of his
sister so far as regarded wat occurred after he
arrived at the house.
On the part Of the defeice several witnesses
were called who spoke ofthe prisoner as mild
good tempered man, but as having frequently
exhibited fightness Of mind. He was sun-struck
and injured at the raising of the Liberty pole in
Blocker street, in the year '32 or '33 The
youngest son of Topping was placed on the stand
but the Court considered it unnecessary to
swear him. The eldett son gave his testlmony
and showed some discrepancy in the evidence OF
Catharne Kelly from what she had since ntilna-
ted to hun as to certain particulars. An effort
was made to impeach the character of Catharine
though with but little effect. The prisoner is a
native of Ireland, from the county of Armagh
about 43 or Al years Of age-rather slight built
and possessing rather Grecian cast of coun
tenance. The Testimony was finished at about
half past 6 o'clock, end submitted to the Cour
and Jury without summing up on either side
Judge Kent delivered his charge, explaining the
law on the subicct,and reviewing the evidence
which had been presented
There was no Evidence that Topping had beef
drinking that day,no did there appear to be an.
excuse for the act The Jury, alter an absence
of about half an bur, returned with verdict Q
Guilty of Wilful Murder.

sequence, the Camanchcs aud Llpans had COM
mit,ed most serious ravages. A party of 300
Camanchcs, a few weeks since, swept down the
eastern bank of the Rio Grande, from Laredo
nearly to the coast, and devastated the whole

women and children, and spread such an alarm
that nearly all the Mexican settlers have forsa-

approach before they can obtain protection from
the interior.

der hscommand. Canales, who has been ap-
poin,ed TO the command of the militia, raised 400
rancheros, badly armed and equipped, few
weeks since but he has remained stationary
and il is not known what his designs are. Am
puda has command at Natamoras and since the
retreat of Vasquez, has been fortlfying the city,
fearing an attack from Texas !; but he has only
about $50 soldiers, and the citizens are daily
leaving the place. 1t is believed, therefore, that
if 800 Texans should approach the city, il would
be surrendered without firing a gun The peo-
pie of Laredo Mier, and Comargo have suffered
so much from the depradatons of the Indians
and our western Cow boys that they are almost
driven to despair, and long for change that will
afford them protection.
1t is believed that most of them would cheer

sufficient force could be sent west of the RiC

hardly doubt that, if 1000 Texans shouIt

form separate confederacy. The fear OF San

F@We said a few weeks ago that the
new Legislature of Rhode Island had as
scmbed in biacksmith's ship. This sim
pie statement of an acknowledged fact threw
the amiable Editor of the Spirit Of the Ago
into hystercs-or rather it afforded him an
opportunity for writing an inflated paragraph
about John Hancock, Samuel Adams,
Ethan Allen, Governor Paine, the glorious
patriots Of the revolution, freedom and nde-
pendence, and the sovereignty Of the people!
Don't be alarmed my sweet little fellow
You had better husband your "gems of rhet-
oric' and your pompous flourshes for some
moro appropriate occasion-say some fourth
of July. How striking the resemblance be-
tween EATHAN ALLEN and Thomas w.
Dor! What happy comparison I! The
one a sturdy patriot, bold and dauntless
spirit, that never quailed, nor feared the face
Of mortal foe-the other a clustering dema-
gogue, traitor to his native State, and cow
ardly deserter from his party and his friends

cherish the lustrious hero's fame and would
guard it from dishonor, we echo back the
taunting language of the Age, "Shame on

grade his native state as to compare the char
acter of her noblest dead TO that Of the cra-
ven braggart Thomas w. DOR.

STATE OF AFFAIRS.

The movements # the last twelve hours have been
of the highest interest and Importance. If the CT Sis
has nor already passed before this reaches reld-
ors, il viii soon be here. At five o'clock yesterday
afternoon, a detachment Of between fifty and sixty
men marched from Mr. DORIS quarters TO the Town
House lot, with an order from him to take the field
pieces Of the Artillery company. The commander,
we are informed declined to surrender them; but no
resistance was made, nor any attempt to spike them
which nisht easily have been done. 1t was rumored
that m attempt would he made to seize the mtIskets
in the Cadet armory. The Cadets mustered and ne.
parcd to defend their arms, lut no attack was made
The two pieces of the Artillery company were then
carried under guard TO Mr. DORIS quarters, and, with
five or six others, were disposed around the holsc
The sight of this created intense degree of excite
men In lailng away the pieces, the balls and sho
were left in the armory and were afterwards sent for
bit they were removed to place Of safety by tn,
proper authorities.
At about seven o'clock, an order was issuedby Gov
King, requesting the citizens 10 90 to the arsenal ant
receive arms. Messengers were despatched to vall
Gus quarters, and The steamboat Rhode Island pro

a little before two O'clock the insurgents marched il
full force 20 the arsenal with Dorr al their head an

such man.
The insurgents said that unless the arsenal wa
surrendered, at once, they should take it, and the
force enabled them easily to do 90. Col Blodget ar
