After the prisoner was placed at the bar. r.
Kidder Meade, Esq. one Of the prisoners
counsel, handed letter to the Judge, which
letter came from Smith, the person sent as
messenger to Philadelphia, to find out McCar
tiny, an important witness on behalf Of the pri.
soner. In that letter, il was stated that the
said Nc Carhy could not be found, and that the
snly tidings received of him was, he had gone
to New York, and doubt was also expressed
in the letter as to the probability or possibility
of finding him at all. The counsel for the pri-
soner here urged continuance, upon which
proposition there was considerable argument
pro and con, after which the court gave its
opinion, setting forth the impracticability of Q
longer continuance of the case, and deciding
that it must 60 on. The counsel were then, on
request, allowed until half past fosr clock to
perfecta bill OF exceptions, and to make mo.
ton for change of oenue.
The court met again at half past four
o'clock, P. M. The counsel for the defence
presented their bill of exception and affidavit
thereto, and announced that they had deter.
mined to proceed no further with the motion
for change of renuc.
The court then directed that the reairi be
called. OF the twenty four names on the she
riff g book, fire only were considered as fit ju
rors. The names OF these five are Daniel ia.
mieson, J. T. Ballow, Joseph Burton, Richard
Ball and Alexander Wells. 4 he ceniri being
exhausted, the court gave directions that the
sheriff summon forty others to be in attend
auce 10 day at eleven o'clock, to which hour
the court adjourned.
His Honor, from the importance of this case,
and the unusual difficulties attendant on it, es.
pecially in regard to the selection of proper
jury, considered that it was just thai the FIVE
jurors already empanneiled, be given in charge
OF the sheriff. Ii is not a customary way of
proceeding, but the court presumed the ne
cessity in the present case, and gave directions
accordingly.

The SEASON AND THE CRors.-The present
is one of the most backward seasons ever
known. We have reached the 18th Of May
without having experienced any warmth, ex-
cept in the sun at midday nor are we likely
to have any change until the wind gets out of
the east. Rain is beg 'nning to be very much
wanted for the grass land and the spring corn.
As far as getting in the seed is concerned, mo-
thing can be more favorable than the weather
that we have had; but We must have great
change, if il s TO grow and rpen at the usual
time. There is every prospect of late harvest.

Of Mr.. Paris, Representative Of Dade county n

| represents himself as the shortest man in Dade.
He sports a pair of huge wiskers, wears his
hair a la mode Andrew Jackson, aud in as much
as his eve sight has been injured by severe ap-
plication to study. he adds to the dignity OF his
appearance by the use of glasses, Beneath this
fierce looking exterior, turks a quiet vein OF
good humor, provoking the mirlh OF all who
come within the sphere of its influence. He
speaks the English language, and consequently
| was not compelled to employ a translator in
making out my report. His manner is torcibie
and expressive; he suits the action to the word
and the word to the action Mr.. Paris isl ma
tive of Warren county, Tennessee, having been
born, bu his own choice, on the banks OF the
Collins river. He has held various offices of
honor and profit under the general government,

the sole and distinguished honor of represent

I'm. Kossuth has written a long letter on
the condition of affairs in Europe, the coaclu.
sion of which is as follows:
"What is the policy convenient TO Great
Britain's honor, and peremptority required by
her interests2 1t is, Sir, the avoiding of half
resolutions of half measures before all. Either
an open and active share in the no ~,tiIities
against Russia, by land and by sea, or a
peremptory demand on Anstria to put an end
to her ambiguous fou! play, and to define clearly
her position either as an ally of Russia or of
Turkey. Butt in no case is it such a policy
which, aiming at absurdities, only prevents
Turkey avaiIing herself of snch Legitimate
means of self defence as circumstances dictate,
and the loss of which no aid of far distant
Great Britain can compensate. 1t would have
given me real pleasure 10 attend the meeting TO
which YOU were so kind as to invite me-, both
from the interest | take in the cause You are
supporting, and from getting an opportunity to
express publicly my grateful feelings for the
sympathy which lmyselfand NY eyI'edcounsfy-
men have found with the generous hearts of
the citizens of Glasgow. My only excuse for
not appearing is, that just in the present mus
ment, | can perhaps serve the cause which yon
advocate. more eflectually than by taking part
in public meetings, whatever their Importance
NAV be. Please to accept this apology, and
believe me, dear Sir. your obedient servant.

had two advance paying subscribers, one VINO
Iiquidated MS subscription with beans, and the
other with saw-logs. Godfrey, the chief, took
FIVE papers, and could not read a word. Our
paper was called the Peru Forester and be-
ing printed in the woods, the title was appro-
pirate. The town of Peru had a number of
magnificent names for its streets, such as Pearl,
Broadway, &c, which streets exhibited the
anjmating, busting appearance Of stumps and
trees, as high as Il mans head. The Stir ring

he kept the Broadway hotel, was postmaster,
