Sentence OF w ellis, the Murderer.

Judge Crawford this morning delivered his de-
cision on the application for new trial for this
man, overriding the pleas preferred in behalf Of
the motion of his counsel. He then, through his
counsel, requested to know whether the prisoner
wished the sentence deferred to a future time
The prisoner replied that he did not, that he had
nothing to ask, but was prepared to hear his
doom pronounced.
Judge Crawford then addressed him for abou
fifteen minutes. He said that it was unnecessar,
for him to review the history of the trial. 1t
results were known to the prisoner He had beer
condemned after fair trial by just and impartia
jurors, during which, he had been defended will

have been brought into requisition in behalf o.
any man.
Nor would he say aught that could add to tn,
load of sorrow that already weighed upon thu
prisoners heart. 1t was his duty to tell hin
that, 80 far as his judge could know, all human
help was impotent, and nought remained to tn
wretched man but to turn his heart toward tn
God he had forsaken, but who has never forsake
the humblest penitent who ever approache
his throne and asked for mercy and forgiveness
The sentence of the law was that the prisone
should be executed upon the gallows on Friday

During the delivery of this address his Homo

virginia.
Morgan Nelson has been chosen Mayor OF
Wheeling. At the same election, votes were cast
to take the sense of the people for and against
the election Of officers by the people, and a
majority of $40 was given in favor OF 1t.
This is a subject that is now engrossing the at
tenton of all the States where it has not already
become law. The peeps" are determined to
be the surveyors over all their agents. And why
should they not? Surely they are the best judges
of their own wants and the qualifications of the
respective candidates. No man, whatever office
he may fill, who faithfully and fearessly does his
duty, fears the test of the ballot-box. BY the
last election (municipal) in our city, the subject
was considered, and an overwhelming majority,
upon counting the votes, was found in favor of
electing the officers of this city by the people.
Yet nothing has as yet been done by our legisla-
ture, (Congress.)
They seem not to have heard the cry from
the ballot-box, or, having heard it, have paid
no attention to it, VIII Congress continue
to let this subject slumber? We hope not. The
people have importuned, the press have cried
aloud, and our Councils have passed recommen-
datory laws on this subject, and yet we have no
action by Congress. If the people of this me-
tropolis will that our charter shall be SO amended
as to allow the officers to be elected by the peo-
pie, as they have in every possible way demon
strated, why not let it be done?

PARIS, (FRAScE,) Jan. 10, 1852
At recent meeting of the American Physicians Paris
association established whose object the promotion
of medical science This association, essentially national
progressing under the most favorable auspices II
intended to be in its nature designated
the American Medical Society in Paris Notwithstanding
the vast advantages afforded by the French metropolis for
the study Of medical and surgical science, feel ourselves
isolated from national medical literature and therefore
confidently appeat the conductors of American journals
and periodicals.
We do this with less hesitation, feeling assured that 1t
will be not only medium of improvement to ourselves but
Of general diffusion and just appreciation
Of American literature. BY order of the Society:

The Secretary OF State and the Mexican
Indemnity.


Although we rejoice in our freedom from all
participation in the angry and exciting political
controversies of the present day, there will
doubtless be recognised a peculiar fitness and
propriety in our transferring to our columns the
following brief editorial article from the g Ma
tional Intelligencer" of this morning:
"THE MEXICAN INDEMNITY. We observe that
the Boston Courier has taken the trouble to
prepare formal and thorough refutation of the
against the Secretary of State, on account eff the
agency through which he, following the precedent
and practice of two preceding administrations has
thought fit to pay certain instalments of our in
demnity-debt to the republic of Mexico.
Sour first impulse on reading the article of
the Courier was to place it before our own
readers, as having in its general object our en-
tire concurrence; but little reflection persua-
ded us that it was an unnecessary step. The
debate which we published on the question so
completely INDICATED the correctness of the Hon
Secretary's course, that we presume there is not
reader of this paper who entertains a shadow
of doubt on this subject. 1t was defended by
the most Jealous political adversaries of the
Secretary in the House of Representatives !;
and, with others, by the present as well as the
late chairman of the Committee of Ways and
Means. And when, finally, the vote came to be
taken on the bill which sanctioned and confirmed
the course of the Secretary, all the motives OF
personal feeling or interest, and political rancor
combined, could not muster strength enough in
opposition to command the yeas and nays, which
requires only one-ffth of the members present,
and the bill actually passed without division.

BacheIors' Ball-Consternation Among

BALTIMORE, Feb. 8, 1852.
The grand fete Of the season, the Bachelors
Ball, comes off in our city, at the new Assembly
Rooms, on Thursday night next. 1t viii be the
most magnificent assembly of the kind we have
ever had. Extensive preparations arc making for
will be there in their most fascinating costumes.
Beauty in oil its pristine perhaps,
as has never before been seen at any previous as
semblage-will, beyond all question, grace the
splendid saloon on that occasion. Bright eyes
and rosy cheeks, beautifed by the expression Of
sweet countenances, will be present--such as will
take captive the most obdurate bachelors heart
host of young damsels, just budding into
womanhood, whose school days have ended, and
who are about to make their debut into society,
are to participate in the ball. The Monumental
City, you know is famed for the beauty of its
ladies' but this youthful generation, now about
entering the arena Of love- If possible, surpasses
those who have taken captive the palm Of lowell
ness in days gone by. A large number of invita-
tons have been sent to Washington, Philadelphia,
New York, and elsewhere, and many are expected
to be present from those cities. Those who pos.
sibly can, should not fail to avail themselves the
opportunity Of attending this ball.
The most intense excitement, uneasiness-
indeed / might say acknowledgements
among the offce-holders throughout the entire
State Of Maryland at present. 1t is now known,
as matter of certainty, that Governor Lowe has
determined to dismiss every Office holder over
whom he has power, and fill their places with
new applicants. The fat has gone forth, and
the chief magistrate is memorable. SO sudden
was the Governors announcement and determine
ton, that all, even his best friends, have been
taken by surprise. The shock of an earthquake
could not have been more astounding Those
who labored and spent their time and money to
elect him, and felt themselves secure in their po-
sitions, are unceremoniousy asked to relinquish
their places and make room for others So ut
terly COMPOUNDED are some, that they have been
disposed to excuse the. Governor only upon the
pretext of supposed partial fermentation
We had an agreeable change in the weather yes
terday 1t seemed as though Spring had como to
make peace with old stubborn Winter. After the
dreary lengthy reign Of the old frostkng there ID
really something charming in the first glimpse Of
vernal sun. The heart feels rcjuyenated, and
perennial delight fills the Utmost soul. Thou
sands, young and old, who had been pent up for
weeks, were out promenading, and nature herself
seemed to wear smiling aspect.
The latest accounts from the Susquehama river
represent the ice as firm.
