have been committed, recorded of the dominant
party in Rhode Island. The Providence Herald saws:

the fact The old man virtuously tells the truth,
and the whole truth, before you and me. He sa-
criiiceS his natural feeings-and we have seen
that they are lvely-to his honesty, and to his re-
Iigous s,nse of the obligation of an oath. Gen
uemen, will pause to observe, that the old mans
conduct is strikingly exemplary, and even noble.
1t teaches all of US lesson. Gentlemen, it is not
within the province of Judge to censure the ri
gor of the proceedings which have sent him be-
fore But venture to anticipate your pleasure
that, notwithstanding all the evidence given, you
will be enabled to acqut that old mans son, the
prisoner at the bar. | have said there cannot be
the shade of a moral doubt that he has stolen the
sheep, and l repeat the words But gentlemen,
there is legal doubt to the full benefit of which
he is entitled. The sheep has not been identified
The herdsman could not venture to identify it
(and it would have been strange if he could) from
the dismembered limbs found in the barn. To his
mark on its skin, indeed he might have positively
spoken; but no skin has been discovered. There
fore, according to the evidence, and you have
sworn to decide by that alone the prisoner is en-
titled to your acquttal. Possibly, now that the
prosecutor sees the in its full bearing, he may
be pleased with this result"
While the jury in evid, mt satisfaction prepar-
ell to return their verdict, Mr.. Evans who had
but moment before returned home, entered the
court, and becoming aware of the concluding
words OF the Judge, expressed his sorrow aloud,
that the prosecution had ever been undertaken;
that circumstances had kept him uninformed of it,
though 1t had gone on in his name; and he beg
grd leave to assure his lordship that it would be
his future effort to keep Michaul Carroll in his
former path of honesty, by finding him honest|and
ample employment, ana, as far as in him lay, to
reward the virtue of the old father
While I'eery Carroll was laughing and crying
i'll breath, in the arms Of his delivered son, a
subscription commenced in the bar, was mounting
into considerable sum for his advantage.

SUICIDE ON BOARD THE SOMERS.

Richard w. Leecock passed assistant surgeon,
attached to the brig Somers lying at the Navy
Yard, Brooklyn, shot himself on board that YES
sci last evening.
Deceased was walking in the ward room be-
tween and o'clock, and no one present except
Purser Heiskell. who was engaged in writing up
his accounts Mr. Heiskell, in his testimony be-
fore the coroner, says he noticed nothing unusual
in the manner of the deceased Witness observed
him walking, and soon saw in the dark the flash
of a pistol. heard the report, looked up, and saw
the deceased standing against theward room draw
ers, with his face toward witness, who tho't the
pistol had gone off by accident, and saw deceased
gradually falling backward.
Mr.. Butler, one of the crew of the North Ca
rolina who happened to be near, stepped in and
SAW the deceased leaning against the drawers
Pe took hold Of him and laid him on the floor,
when he Immediately expired
The pistol used was six barreIled, and one of
the barrels was discharged. The ball entered i'm
mcdiately above the right eye, and lodged in the
brain.
Deceased was native of Norfolk, Virginia, a
single man aged %.
He had been attached 10 the Somers ever since
she was put in commission. He was reserved
and melancholy, and was frequently heard to ex-
press desire to be detached from the vessel
No cause whatever can be assigned for this rash
act.
Verdict of the jury, that he came to his death
by shooting himself with pistol ball through the
head
1t is remarkable coincidence that Just one year
ago on the same day, Lieutenant John Carroll shot
himself in the head with pistol ball on b. ard the
brig Boxer, lying at the same yard

nounces the removal of VIM. G. Lord, as Collect
or OF the Port of Wilmington, and the appoint
ment OF Murphy V. Jones, of Pittsboro'.
In connection with the above. the Chronicle
states that it has reason to believe that memorial
for the removal of the Collector at Wilmington,
was circulated AMI obtained signatures in FaTette,
vile, and requests the Fayetteville papers to dis
prove it if they can
We have no hesitation in saying that we never
saw or heard of such a memorial.

to the detection of Mr.. Tylers bad faith and false
promises IN relation to removals What did the

By the last adYices from New York, we see that Ohio
