CoURr.-At 12 o'clock on Saturday night last,
the term Of our Court expired with the JUDI on
the bench, the Jury in possession Of an imdict
mcnt for murder and Il dense crowd of anxious
spectators, who had to that hour awaited the re-
suit of the trial involving the fate Of two hu-
man beings. Never has the scnsibiIity of our
community been more intensely awakened. There
was mis-tria, the Jury not having time to agree
on their verdict, having had the case under con-
sdcration but few minutes, after a patient hear
ing Of the testimony and arguments during two
entire days. There will Of course be another
trial at the next term, and any observations on
the melancholy facts elected, would be improper
at this time. But we cannot refrain from solemn
ly admonshing the parents Of our country, Of
the awful dangers, attending the possession of
deadly weapons by their children. Here are two
half grown boys, betrayed into most shocking
and deliberate murder, snpl y from being allowed
to Prov over the country, on the Sabbath, in
search Of mischief and with pistols in their pock-
cts. Those who heard this trial were deeply i'm
pressed; and we trust that good will result from
it. The sobricty and orderly department which
characterized the early part of the week, con-
tnued to the end. May it last forever

TnE SPEAKERsnIP-CoL.J j. l.. ORR.-The
Washington correspondent Of the baltimore
Suu, writing under date of 2lst inst, refers
tu Col. Orr's popularity as a candidate for the
Speakers Chair. We give the remarks OF
"Ion"
The Spcakcrship of the next Congress has
become an important question, in reference to
the great matters that are to he agtated, if not
settled byit. Col. Orr, Mr.. Disney, Mr.. Bal.
y and others have been spoken Of as candi,
dates.
notice that Col. Orr has recently shown
his hand upon the prominent questions of the
day in an address to his constituents. am
happy to agree with him upon many of the IS.
sues which he has presented, and so far as am
able to Judge his views fall in with the prevail.
ing sentiment of the day.
The payment Of the national debt and the
reduction of the present tariff are measures
which the public call for, and which the ad.
minstration will promote. The mode of re-
ductlon is another matter. COL Orr indicates
the expediency of the exemption of railroad
iron from duty. We have so ,tew railroads in
operation or in contemplation that stimulus
"uoV DC SeNSu w vi
Some of these would have been expedit Mt, but
the question is now whether railroad enterprise
is not otaready pushed rather too far. The old rail.
roads might complain of the partiality shown
to the new roads, and might not the former
have just demand upon the Government for
return of the duties that they have paid upon
their iron.
Col Orr's views in regard to the Pacific rail
road are unqucstiunably correct. The Pacific
railroad is not to be an administration meas.
ure. The Government will not take it in hand
as the contractor or the proprietor. | am able
to say, also, that the Ncw-lork Atlantic and
Pacific Railroad Company, whose stock is
about to be filled up, and which is soon to be
organized, will not ask from the Government
any aid except that which has been usually
granted to railroads in the new States.

TIE AMERICAN LEGATION ~ ExGLASD.-We
have information concerning our legation in Lon
don from the pen of a distinguished American
now abroad, who, though not connected with
public affairs, knows what is going on around
him. This gentleman states that Mr.. Buchanan
is exceedingly pleased with his Secretary of LIE
CATION, Mr.. Daniel E. Sickles, of New York, and
his Private Secretary Mr.. Welsh. From this
letter we anticipate that Mr. Lawrence, the son
of the late minister will continue his connection
with the legation, to which the minister regards
him as great acquisition indeed knowing eve
ry body and every thing around him, and cheer
fully according to the benefit of his experience
in London and American public affairs there, to
he his fathers successor Mr. Buchanan's pre-
sentation to the Queen took place at Osborne,
in the Isle Of Wight, without pomp or parade,
Prince Albert and Lord Clarendon being alone
present. Mr. b has not yet settled himself at
housekeeping, though at last accounts he was
busy with arrangements to that end lie had
received many kind attentions from members of
the British ministry, and more especially from
Lord Palmerston, between whom and himself
an intimacy had sprung up which can hardly
fail to greatly facilitate his official labors.

sotiation. 1t gives me some interesting items
of intelligence respecting branch of trade
opened up between America and Central ASIA
The branch OF cotton in which, it is stated,
America can best compete with England, is in
coarse fabrics. There is heavy weight Of
low priced cotton and little labor, while the
expense of transit, so severely felt by the Brit,
Sh manufacturer, is saved by the American.
The materials, of which samples have been sent
home, exported by American mannfacturers't
India, is very course, uubleached fabric, such
as in England is termed towelling but which
is sold to the natives of India under the name
Of sheeting. 1t is well suited to the wants of
Asiatc communities. 1t is also stated that
these fabrics arc sent in ship loads, with. a su.
pcrcargo accompanying them, who, in return
will receive such raw products as the natives
can give, and will be likely to meet with a
ready sale in the home markets. The Man
chester Chamber of Commcrce are taking the
question into consideration, to see in what way
they can compete with this trade in American
"domcstics.
