LYNDON, VERMONT, June 81, 1850.
The closing scene Of Bristol Bill and Christian
Meadows trial is tragical and acknowledgements
ancholy, not perhaps to them, but to the entire
community.
Yesterday Mr.. Farrar submitted motion to the
court on arrest of Judgment, based upon some al
eyed errors in the indictment. His Honor defer
red giving his opinion until this morning, when
he came into the court room, and oyerruled the
notion, and asked the prisoners if they had any
hing to say why sentence should not be pronounc
d against them. Bristol Bill rose, and after max
ng several indignant remarks, told the court he
lsked no mercy at their hands; Meadows seemed
somewhat penitent, aud begged mitigation.
The court then sentenced them to ten years
each, at hard labor, in the State Prison, at Wind
Bliss N. Davis, esq., State attorney, Immediately
passed round on the outside Of the bar, stopped
over, and begun to whisper something to Mea-
lows, whercupon Bill rose from his seat, went
round TO the side Of Davis, and suddenly stabbed
Tim in the neck. Davis fell, and exclaimed, 1.-THE
rascal has killed me-" He was taken up and car
sied to his lodgings, where he continues IN dan
.erous and critical situation. He bled most pro-
,llsely and since carried to his room remains per-
ectly speechless, and it is feared by his sur
,eons and physicians that the wound would prove
,atal.
Bill stabbed him with u case knife, the blade Of
which is some eigk; inches in length, and without
eff the knife sticking IN the neck, where II re-
NAMED till some one seized il and pulled it out.
Much fear and excitement prevailed in the court
room; and though Bill was fettered, he took con-
rol of the house for some minutes. The judge
commanded the officers 10 arrest hIm; but 50 conf
,leteIy terror-stri.ken were all present, that no
one burst approach him. Bill stationed himself

Terrific Slaughter by a Maniac In Stat

Stafford and the neigkborhood were on Wed
nesday alarmed by report, which turned out to
be quite correct, Of a most tragical event having
taken place at Ingestree, the seat of Earl Talbot.
II seems that Mr.. Yarker, head-gamekeeper to
Earl Talbot, who was recovering from an attack
Of delirium tremens, was attended by Walter
Murray, the person who was placed in charge Of
him by the adviser, Mr.. Waddell, Of Stafford,
who had repeatedly given instruction, that any
weapon with which he could possibly do any in
jury, should be cautiously kept from him, and
also that he should be strictly watched 1t APP
pears, however, that Murray, who was an un-
der-keeper, about 6 o'clock on Tuesday evening.
incautiousy allowed Yarker to take out gun, in
company with him, for the purpose of shooting
jackdaws. Aher they had proceeded about mile.
Yarker shot Murray with q built Yarker then

The servant girl was in the kitchen when Var
ker arrived there, taking tea with an infant in her
arms; he opened the door, and shot her dead
through the head, the child falling unhurt to the
ground. Yarker's sister, who is the widow Of
medical gentleman, was in the small apartment,
not more than three yards from him he leveled
the gun and shot at her, and she shifting her po-
sition he lowered his gun from his shoulder, again
levelled it and fired she distinctly saw the flash,
and Immediately moved her head and escaped with
two shots in the face.
Yarker then ran from the house, and escaped
into the wood with his gun unloaded. His wife
who was in the yard followed him. In about ten
minutes from this time Yarker's sister heard the
report Of gun, and in about two minutes after
wards the report Of another.
Waddell, the surgeon, was Immediately sent for
from Stafford, and on his arrival at the scene
found Yarker and his wife lying about five yards
distant from each other. Mrs. Yarker having
been shot through the heart, and the upper part
Of Yarker's head being entirely blown off, taking

by the disruption of the confederacy or by the
abandonment Of the territories TO prevent such re-

what the American Government had done, but
what her Majesty's government had done. /
ask whether any, and if any, what instructions
had been sent out to the admiral commanding on
the station, in relation to this expedition.
THE MARqUEss OF LANDOWNER am certain
ly not prepared to answer question of that kind
without notice having first been given of it.
LORD STAsLEY.-The noble marques, am
sure will do me the justice to believe that KNEW no
more of this question coming forward than he
did; but the subject was brought forward,
and as imagined that the occupation Of Cuba
was not a subject that would be viewed with in
difference by her Maiesty's government, did
think that some instructions would have been
sent out to our admiral on the station; and this
house has right to know whether that be so.
THE MARQUES or LASspowNE | think
it necessary to say is ths-that the subject has en-
gagged the attention OF her Majesty's government.
LORD STANLEY. Have any instructions been
sent out'
EARL GREY-My lords il is contrary TO all

iesty's government--to answer such question
For my own part, have TO say most decidedly,
that think it would be a breach Of our duty il
we were, in the present state of affairs, to give
any answer whatever to the question which tho
noble lord has put.
LoRp STASLEY-The noble earl thinks that il is
the duty Of her Msjesty's government TO refuse
TO give any information; but say that il is the
right and the duty Of this house to ascertain
whether the government have performed their
duty by taking any steps in matter which deeply
concerns the honor and the interests OF this cOun-
try. / say for myself, that have right TO ask
II have right 70 have an answer--not as 70 the
precise instructions that have been set out, but
whether her Majesty's government have thought
this matter worth their attention, and whether any
instructions have been sent out.

WILD CAT.-We learn from a
correspondent of The Floridian, wri-
ting from Austin, Texas, that the
famous Seminole Warrior, "Wild
Cat" who was removed by the Gov
ernment some years ago, west OF the
Mississippi, has already become con-
spicuous on his new theatre. The
same restlessness and love of strife,
which, combined with his high intel
lectual endowments, made him so
dangerous a foe during the Florida
war, are still observable in his new
home. He is actively engaged in en-
deavoring 10 secure concert and
union among the various tribes on
our western frontier, and to acquire
power and influence over them.--
he has induced one tribe.
whose warriors are noted for their
courage, 10 acknowledge him as

THE FATHER OF WATERs--MAK-
ING THE MOST OF HIM.-A cores
pondent of the New York Observer,
writing from Dubuque, July 29th,
says:
"In my last I alluded to the fact
that a steamboat had commenced
running on the Mississippi above the
falls OF st. Anthony, to Sauk rapids,
a distance of ofupwards of eighty miles.
Since then | have learned that the
same enterprising Yankee that owns
that steamer, is now building anoth-
er, 10 extend the line still further
north the next season. The new
boat will run regularly $50 miles
above Sauk rapids, and in a good
stage of water can go $50 miles, or
about $50 miles above the Falls Of
St. Anthony. A gentleman who
has recently returned from exploring
the headwaters of the Mississippi,
says that there is a good channel,
never less than four feet of water,
even up to point within ten miles
of its ultimate source, viz: Itasca
lake. The country is described as
very fine and, although abounding
in beautiful lakes, is not low and
marshy, as might be supposed.

HINTS TO dUSBANDS.-0y q UO-
ras.-Do not Jest with your vile
upon a subject in which there is
danger of wounding her feelings
Remember that she treasures every
word you utter, though you may
never think Of it again.
Do not speak of some virtue IN an
other mans wife, TO remind your
own of fault.
Do not reproach your wife with a
personal defect, for if she has sensi-
bility, you inflict a wound difficult
to heal.
Do not treat your wife with mat
tention in company. Ii touches her
pride--and she will not respect you
more, or love you better for it.
Do not upbraid your wife in the
presence OF a third person. The
sense of your disregard for her feel
ings, will prevent her from acknowl-
edging her fault.
Do not entertain your wife with
praising the beauty and accomplish
ments Of other women.
Do not, too often, invite your
friends 10 ride, and leave your wife
at hone. She might suspect that you
esteemed others more companionable
than herself.
If you would have a pleasant
home and cheerful wife, pass your
evenings under your own roof.
Do not be stern and silent in your
own house, and remarkable for soci-
ability elsewhere.
Remember that your wife has as
much need of recreation as yourself.
and devote portion, at least, OF your
leisure hours, to such society and
amusements as she may join. By so
doing you will secure her smiles, and
increase her affection.
Do not, by being too exact in Pc
cuniary matters, make your wife feel
her dependence upon your bounty.
1t tends to lesson her dignity oi
character, and does not increase her
esteem for you. If she is sensible
woman, she should be acquainted
with your business and know your
income-that she may regulate her
household expenses according w.
Let it be remembered that pecuniary
affairs cause more difficulty in fami-
lies than any other one cause. Your
wife has an equal share with your
self, to all you posses in the world
therefore she should be made acquain-
ted. as nearly as possible, with that
which is of so great importance to
both. DO not withhold this knowl-
edge in order to cover your own ex-
travagance. Woman has a keen
perception-be sure she will discover
YOUR selfishness-and though no
word is spoken, from that moment
her respect is lussened, her conf
dence diminished, her pride woun-
ded, and a thousand, perhaps unjust,
suspicious created. From that mo-
ment is your domestic comfort on
the wane.-BoStOn Times.
