u Capt. Martin, who has been upon trial
in the U. s. Circuit Court at Boston, for con-
spring with others to cast away the schooner
Abby Hammond for the purpose of defrauding
certain insurance Offices, has been acquitted.
There are, however, three other indictments
still pending against him, charging him with
casting her away alone, upon which it is sup
posed he will not be tried, as the evidence is
precisely the same as that already adduced.

the gold was not there. In the midst of his
trbulation, however, a Geographic despatch
was received from Belfast stating that bun
die of gold had been found on the wharf, and
deposited in the bank. II proved TO be his

ton, except the one proposed to be repealed,
by this bill, which prohibits the employment of
minors less than sixteen years of age. more
than ten hours in day. No one will pretend,
that persons under that age, can, with impu.
nifty, be employed daily, for a greater length of
time. But it is said, that mills must be in op-
Grafton more than ten hours in day. and that
1t is consequently necessary to employ only
such as can labor more than that time, and
that therefore many a child is deprived of the
privilege of afording, by his earnings, pecuniary
relief and comfort to INDECENT parents or friends
Ii the prohibition was only to operate upon
few isolated cases of this nature, now or here
after. 1t would be unwise to continue it. A
child might, perhaps, relieve by its earnings,
the necessities of poor widowed mother, and
derive much happiness, with little perceptible
injury, from the effor, but if for the purpose
of affording such relief, the State permit that
child, and with it,others, and their descendants.
for three or four generations, to engage thus in
premature toll, it permits the mother to he re-
lieved, at the incalculable cost, of entailino
upon thousands of offspring, mental and bodily
imbecility, poverty and wretchedness. The de-
scent to such condition, from such a cause, is
imperceptible but sure, and more to be feared,
because its silent progress awakens no effort for
its arrest. Our legislation should be directed
to the prevention of this wholesale dilution of

education' mean, not merely the instruction
